Yeah, Jaco got picked up by Viz and ran in the English Shonen Jump. I think it's been too long to go back and buy the back issues, just have to wait for the collected edition.

I can't help but wonder how TFS is going to handle that. I hope they flesh it out more than the actual series where he just kind of shows up married to her.

Wasn't there a scene where she gave him a peck on the cheek before her official hero-turn? I like the idea of the counter getting confused at that point.

Krillin got owned. But an attractive woman willingly kissed him. ERROR ERROR DOES NOT COMPUTE

Though drat if that final scene didn't scream "Hellsing Ultimate Abridged joke" to anyone else then I don't know what to say.

I think it's partially because Cell is basically an evil Alucard.

It breaks my heart Kenshin's author hasn't really gotten past Kenshin, despite having some really fun ideas. Busou Renkin was a ton of fun, and Kenshin was a great character for shonen.

What are you talking about? Watsuki's gotten over Kenshin.

It was pretty awesome that Hiko could've just owned Shishio and Enishi in five seconds but he didn't because gently caress it I want to keep being a hermit and get drunk.


Man, if Buso Renkin didn't count as getting past Kenshin, then I dunno what does. That manga was loving awesome.

The problem isn't that Watsuki couldn't get past Kenshin, it's that he's not a young man anymore. He was very badly ill several times during Buso Renkin because of the workload it takes to be a manga-ka. Nobody can keep that up forever except ageless freaks like the dude who does Jojo. Watsuki got to write and finish two really loving good stories and his assistants went on to make some groundbreaking stuff of their own, one of which only became the most popular manga in the history of the loving world. That's more than most guys in this industry get.

On a related note, I hope you've all emotionally prepared yourself for Oda to drop dead six months after finishing One Piece.

That might be why Watsuki moved his next series to Jump SQ, and has his wife (a writer herself) help out with the story. It's called Embalming - The Another Tale of the Frankenstein. I don't know why it hasn't been picked up by Viz yet, but Watsuki is doing stuff beyond Kenshin now.

I think the recent Kenshin stories were his editors asking for something to hype up the live-action movies.

I guess he refers to the fact that Watsuki decided to revisit the manga series and "fix" a few things by releasing rewritten stories after the movies success?

It's fairly good, but I think I've become a Watsuki fanboy after Rurouni Kenshin and Buso Renkin both being so amazingly good. Buso Renkin also shows how you ought to do a Shounen protagonist who is a teenager without delving into angst or making the main character and utter idiot who you wonder how even survive the fights he gets into.

Another great thing about Kenshin was that the main character is like nearly 40, but looks like his early 20's and they even poke fun at this.

My favorite chapter with Hiko literally points out he's basically Superman and is fighting a giant. He looks the part too with his cape and all. And Watsuki in his author commentary mentions that Spawn was actually the inspiration behind the cape, which is always awesome.

First, I get where you're coming from. I love Rurouni Kenshin and pray for the final arc to be animated someday. Not as big a fan of Buso Renkin, but it's still leagues beyond most of the battle series out today.

Secondly, like I said earlier, Watsuki didn't stop making manga after the end of Buso Renkin. He's currently doing Embalming, it just runs in the monthly Jump SQ and hasn't been picked up by Viz, so you need to find scans if you wanna read it. If you liked the homunculi of Buso Renkin, the Frankensteins in Embalming work pretty much the same way. It also has Watsuki's usual elements to manga (minimal stupid fanservice, older leads who aren't that angsty or brain-dead).

Plus, Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes show up, and Jack the Ripper is a Frankenstein that flies by exhaling really hard. What more do you want?

I wouldn't be surprised if Team Four Star made a joke about that or something.

Vegeta: "Let me get this straight. All I have to do is be around the kid and I'll be better than Kakarot?"

Gohan: "At least in parenting."

As someone who hasn't seen new episodes of either of those in years, have they actually referenced Dragonball at some point out of interest?

I'm in the same boat, so I couldn't tell you. They were just the first two shows to pop into my head.

Point is, people who only know about Dragon Ball from jokes about it remember more about it than Toriyama.

That was sudden.

Bought Xenoverse and the Season pass after seeing the video. Now I just gotta figure out who I'm gonna make.

A part of me wants to make Not!Luffy or Not!Naruto, or some other Goku clone. Are those options?

If you mean a literal Goku clone, you can unlock his outfit, and a "wig" of his hair (and his SSJ hair). The same guy who did that video with the voices made a very convincing Turles this way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8x9t5RwI9I).

I don't think you could make Luffy or Naruto. You just can't make the dude thin enough to be Luffy, and there's no Naruto headband as far as I know. I think you can unlock Bardock's headband, and it's possible to get the color of the clothes right so it may resemble them in motion.

I meant clone as in how Luffy and Naruto and others are basically the Goku of their series. I wasn't expecting super-exact clones, but that the options would include straw hats and jumpsuits that look like Naruto's.

I guess it would be better to say I wish my character could cosplay as Luffy. Or Naruto. Or Toriko. Maybe not Natsu, but only because he's from a different company.

Taka is an actual VA, he was probably the easiest to contact and sign for voicework. The only other Actual VA on the team is Antfish, IIRC.

Kaiserneko and Lanipator are also VAs, and in Texas now. Granted, their only roles so far are in the Nobunaga genderswap anime, but you gotta start somewhere.

I'd be willing to put money on them voicing the new guys in Return of F.

So "History of Trunks Abridged" got delayed due to health concerns.. Anyone know what's going on? And what was the deal where the TFS dude had some major health issues a few months ago? I never got the full story there.

Considering how the month started out with regards to internet video creators, it's probably nothing serious. KaiserNeko probably just got a bad cold, and that wrecked the schedule he had setup for editing. Or maybe someone who was contributing an original animation had a cold, and that kept them from making it. Point is someone probably just had a bad cold. I'd say that at worst, someone broke a limb and is too hopped up on painkillers to work on the video.

And a few months ago, Kaiser got sick for about a week, I think. But I believe that was linked to him moving to Texas around the same time.

What if Goku was revealed to have been implanted with the trickster spirit Wu Kong as a child and he learns to tap into that power after he accidentally finds and eats the Gum Gum Fruit after it falls in a cross-dimensional hole created when Goku discovers his Bankai after getting in touch with his half-demon nature. This allows him to truly manipulate his Nen which he uses to create his Stand, the Cha La Head.
