Twitchy’s Anime Rocking Chair – I can’t watch Dragon Ball Z in English.

Call me a purist, or a weeaboo, or whatever the hell you want, but I can’t watch DBZ in English.  I just can’t.  The voices don’t sit well with me.  The translations don’t go over well…and the Americans have a history of fuckin’ shit up when they don’t need to. Exhibit A: Gohan’s transformation into…

Twitchy’s Anime Rocking Chair – The Animix Project.

Back in 2003, a group of people from animemusicvideos.org decided to get together to make an anime music video.  On April 4, 2004, the video was finally released.  Using a 1990’s dance megamix as their soundtrack, over 100 AMV editors banded together to make an anime music video that ran for one hour.   This…

Initial D Arcade Stage AA X

These names are getting pretty weird.  Oh well, it’s Initial D, so I’m not gonna complain. From the looks of the trailer, the game includes EVERYTHING up to Ryosuke’s battle with the “Shinigami” of Hakone.  Hopefully Ryosuke’s FC will be a tuning course.  I want to build up an FC with that spoiler.  So, what…

Street Fighter gift #2, HADOUKEN

QCF + PUNCH. No other input can evoke a response from a gamer than that.  Often imitated, never duplicated.  The fireball. The HADOUKEN. And that is the second gift to us that street fighter gave to us.

(7 gifts from the Street Fighter franchise) Guile….just Guile.

Street Fighter week continues unabated at “Strawberry Scented Burnout”.  At the end of each day I’m going to list 7 things that the Street Fighter franchise has given to us, its children bathed in arcade light and stale pizza from Chuck E. Cheese’s. Since this is the first day I figured that I should go…

Happy Birthday Street Fighter!

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?  Street Fighter, the ubiquitous 2d fighting game has now turned 25 today.  Happy birthday, Street Fighter!! And big congrats to Capcom and Ono-sensei for making such a wonderful fighting game. The franchise itself has gone through numerous twists and turns to get to where they are today.  Mixing…

Remember the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors franchise? Sengoku Basara nobbed its mum.

Ah, Dynasty Warriors.  You took the formula of “1 dude versus a zillion peons + Lu Bu” and ran with it for a long time.  You then mixed it up a bit by throwing in katanas. Then your Japanese sister came out and showed us how the Japanese get down with your formula. Samurai Warriors…
