12 October 2009 - 01:28 AM



QUOTE
Synopsis:

Gauche is a Letter Bee, a courier that delivers important letters and packages throughout the land of eternal dusk, Amber Ground. He meets a young boy, Lag Seeing, who is actually a letter to be delivered. Gauche makes friends with Lag and inspires him to take up the job. Five years later, Lag finally becomes his dream, that of a Letter Bee. However, the one who inspired him has gone missing and only there does the mystery start.

ED - "Hatenaki Michi (Endless Road)" by HIMEKA


Adapted from the manga, it's surprisingly good so far - my favorite of the new fall series that I've watched. Characters and setting are interesting. Same studio behind Naruto is doing the animation, which has been been really great through the first episodes. The anime is licensed by crunchyroll, so not too many subs around.

Demon's Souls

26 September 2009 - 06:10 AM




BACKGROUND
King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.

Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness...

- The game is said to be a spiritual successor to FROMSoft's King's Field series.

- The player assumes control after an extensive character customization; male or female.

- There are 10 starting classes/job classifications to choose from: Soldier, Knight, Hunter, Priest, Magician, Wanderer, Barbarian, Thief, Temple Knight, and Aristocrat. “Starting” because over the course of the game they can be evolved into any amalgam of other classes as seen fit by the player. For example, a melee class, like the Barbarian, can eventually become a spellcaster. Class also dramatically affects your starting appearance, as it determines all of the weapons and armor you’ll start the game with.

- Weapons: swords, axes, clubs, maces, bows, crossbows, and so forth. And within each class of weapon lies a healthy variety as well. Take, for instance, swords, which can range from nimble blades like a dagger, scimitar, or rapier, to larger ones like bastard swords, claymores, and flamberges.. All of these can be upgraded via collecting souls.

- Character growth is also carried out by the collecting of souls, so choose wisely!

- There is a New Game + option when you beat the game. Typical New Game+ features apply.

- There are two versions of the game: standard and Collector's. The Collector's Edition will cost $10 more and includes a 150-page guide book along with a slipcase that will house both the game and guidebook. This edition is only available to U.S residents, although both versions will net gamers an artbook and a bundled soundtrack

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

07 July 2009 - 02:32 AM

2009 is turning out to be an awesome year for fighters. SFIV, KoF XII, Tekken 6, etc. I hadn't heard of BlazBlue until recently, but I'm really glad I didn't miss it. It's been in Japanese arcades, but only recently ported to PS3/360 (released last week in the US/CAN, I believe). As a Guilty Gear fan, it look's like an awesome successor.


http://www.aksysgames.com/blazblue/

INFO:
"BlazBlue is an HD 2D Fighting Game by Arc System Works, makers of the critically lauded Guilty Gear series. BlazBlue is the spiritual successor to Guilty Gear, sharing its ideals of crazy characters, crazy attacks, gorgeous graphics, and an amazingly deep and fun fighting experience."

ADDITIONS FOR THE CONSOLE VERSION:

Story Mode: The console release includes a fully-fleshed out 30 hour long Story Mode that tells the tales of each character. The story is told using large character drawings and full voice acting.

Online Multiplayer: BlazBlue will have online multiplayer. Currently, BlazBlue's feature set for online is potentially superior to any other fighter. You can set the room name, lobby capacity, # of spectators, rotation type, number of rounds, round time, astral heat, easy specials, voice chat, skill level, and connection quality. Plus, you can download replays of matches.

Easy Specials: Similar to Capcom vs SNK 2 EO, beginners can use the right-analog stick to perform special moves. This can be turned off.

Dual Audio: Japanese and English voices are available for both regions.

Training mode: Pretty much a standard at this point, the console release has it.

New Art: New opening, new backgrounds, and new colors for characters.

PSP Remote Play: The PS3 version of the the game supports remote play. The game is fully playable using the PSP since a second analog stick and extra shoulders buttons are not required.

"Limited Edition" first-run: First shipment(shipments?) are limted edition sets, containing a 42-track soundtrack & bonus dvd/blu-ray with tutorials, advice, and expert strategies for each character

D.Gray-Man

07 March 2009 - 03:39 AM

D.Gray-Man is back in JUMP after a 3 month break. The original thread's been closed, so it's time to start a new one. Anyone who isn't familiar with it, now's not a bad time to start


http://en.wikipedia....wiki/D.Gray-man

The anime ended its run after catching up to the manga. It's also licensed, so finding streaming episodes could be a challenge.
No problem with clips, though:
OP 1 - "INNOCENT SORROW" by abingdon boys school
OP 2 - "Brightdown" by Nami Tamaki
OP 3 - "Doubt & Trust" by access
OP 4 - "Gekidou" by UVERworld
