They're talking about the animated movie. Hence the "cars in anime" part. Axelay, Gunsmith Cats (the manga anyways) does indeed have a lot fo cool classic cars in it. Kenichi Sonada seems to be as much of a car enthusiast as he is a gun enthusiast. I haven't looked at the comics in forever, but I vaguely remember Rally (the main character from GSC) also driving a GT500...

Thats exactly what it reminded me of! MY worry with fancy hardware like this that it'll be stupid expensive to play, but I'm guessing it won't come out in the US anyways and arcade games in Japan are already expensive as hell. And Black Valkyrie, it's "ikimasu" not "ekimass."

The Griffon: (sentient car + Mad Max reference for the win)

Awesome. Are you planning on hosting them off-site or just uploading them individually to the forums?

With the exception of Ghost in the Shell: SAC and a few random movies, I really haven't "liked" anime since 1995, so I know how you feel Danth. My interest in anime started with 80's stuff and I have yet to find much nowadays that can come close to the older titles.

And what would it be back-compatible with? The wildly successful Saturn? The incredibly popular SegaCD or 32x? The "hardcore" appeal of back compatibility is limite dbecause anyone "hardcore" enough would already have those systems anyways.

Did the TG16 come out on September 9th as well?

Well, considering most of those releases are ports of hentai dating sims, I don't know if I'd call it heartwarming. Still, it's nice to see the occasional release on the Dreamcast. There's also the fact that the Atomiswave arcade system is little more than a Dreamcast in a cabinet.

The funny thing about that is it took two or three years for the PS2 to finally catch up to the Dreamcast graphically.

http://www.play-asia.com would be a good place to start. Guess there's no arguing the superiorty of the PS' d-pad.

That's why you can buy more than one kind of controller. The DC had some great arcade sticks available for it.

Planning on playing some Virtua Tennis and Capcom vs. SNK once my friend comes over later. The Dreamcast is horribly underrated and it's death marked the end of an era for video gaming, the last console with any "soul." Hah, get it?

I was going to say, a thread about the PSX and not the Dreamcast? That's kind of like having a white history month.

What?

You mispelled "meant."

Happened in Z Gundam as well, or was that that Kamille's mother? I forget.

Well, the DS is getting Castlevania...

THE PLAYSTATION 3: Finally catching up to Sega's Dreamcast.

There's no chance in hell of Mini Pato coming over here, considering how poorly Patlabor sold when Viz was trying to release the anime and manga over here. On the bright side, it doesn't look look like an entirely complicated game, so it'd be an easy one to import.

There's not much to get. Tarantino wanted to do a homage film largely inspired by Japanese yakuza films from the 70's (the Hong Kong influence came in the form of Pai Mei). Maybe what threw people off was teh fact that he incorporated a lot of elements into the movie; Japanese gangster movies, Hong Kong kung-fu movies, westerns and his own films. He was obviously trying to emulate the styles of movies he saw and that affected him as a filmmaker and put his own spin on them. The fact is, it's not a movie that can be easily summed up into one genre or the other, and I guess that confuses/annoys/angers some people. I'm not a huge fan of Part II, but even Tarantino's worst is better than 99.9% of the rest of Hollywood (such as mindless garbage like The Transporter). Kill Bill Part I also happens to be the best thing to happen to action films in a long time, but this isn't the thread for that... Slightyl back on topic, what always bothered me about the Transporter was that he was supposed to be a driver and yet most of the action in the movie was lame kung fu. The series would have benefitted greatly from focusing on that aspect of the character, instead of trying to be another lame martial arts movie. I'm guessing from the trailer with ridiculous bits like the car jumping out of parking garages that it won't get any better. Oh well, I guess we can always rewatch Ronin.

Better yet, wait for the PS3 and Revolution to come out and get the 360 after the inevitable price drop.

Hah. No chance of that happening.

There's a fairly big difference between directing a movie and producing it at this point. He's gone on record saying he prefers producing because it's less work, requires less input from him and he still gets a bunch of money. Can't really blame the guy.

The Carrera is ugly, the SLR has horrible brakes and the Enzo is sex on wheels. The Ferrari for me!

Yup, that's when I met him too. He kept joking about how the next MW meet should be held at a strip club...
