Calling all weebanons
I figured i'd try something new recently, and give anime a shot.. I hadn't watched actual anime since 2013 with Deathnote, and whilst it was pretty good, I felt like it didn't really stand out so much because apart from having a great premise, there were plenty of other conventions and set pieces which just made it a little more generic.
I'm currently watching Jojo's bizarre adventure, and the manly overtones, and over-the-top action sequences and engaging suspense resonates with me far better than the crawling pace that seems to be more characteristic of these shows. I'm also planning on watching fist of the north star at some point.
The reason for me wanting to start watching all this stuff is mainly because I watched the anime inspired garfielf animation and I wanted to get my fix of exaggerated, over the top manly shit.
And the reason I type this now, is because I'm hoping that some of you anons can direct me to some more weeb-oriented games, and I'm not talking about games just MADE in japan, or ABOUT japan, because I play shogun total war 2 and Dark souls and other games by capcom fairly regularly/irregularly anyway.. I'm talking about something almost directly inspired by anime/japanese/weeb culture.
Fighting games extremely welcome.
Turn based shit not so much, although I can always overlook it Jagged alliance 2 has raised my standards of what turn based combat should pertain to.
Preferably no faggot-esque material, where the protagonist is an edgy manchild with dumb hair and an even dumber, impractical outfit.. That shit is what turned me off from wanting to invest in anime in the first place. I can overlook impracticality in Jojo because it's often for the sake of looking/being more badass. Even the fact that a 16th century knight is wearing dragon quest armor. He would have actually looked more badass in full plate but w/e.
Yea, what you gonna do nigga? Check these digits.
Also Eastern game thread I guess.
