    The SD2SNES is fantastic, unless you're trying to play a game with an unsupported coprocessor(like Mario RPG'S SA-1 or Starfox's SuperFX). The developer is working to add more coprocessors, but it is slow going. The Super Everdrive isn't half-bad, but has less coprocessor support and no room on the FPGA to add them. But both are identical to a real cart when playing. The console doesn't care what the data comes from as long is it gets it.

    A. Your Name wasn't exactly the most explode-y show, was it? What is Abrams here for? B. This is the rare occasion where "What Would Kuroko Do?" doesn't lead you criminally astray.

    That is actually kind of hilarious. I know WHY HG doesn't just not bring it up and wait to see if anyone notices that they're basically pirating anime, but... one wonders what would happen if they DID just keep quiet about it.

    Hey, stop trying to put this thread back on-topic!

    In fairness, I took it as being more the lineage of human exploration than the lineage of the name Enterprise, particularly given how many non-Enterprise vessels are featured. Never mind that the HMS Enterprize featured in the opening was ACTUALLY a warship, it was still representative of an era of exploration. It shows a continual path of pushing boundaries, moving frontiers, reaching further into the unknown. Well, except for the ISS following Apollo, but we take the world we have, not the world we want. (Shouldn't the outbreak of the Eugenics Wars have prevented the construction of the ISS, though?) The NX-01 is presented as the next step in that proud history, both in the opening and the early premise for the show itself. It is, sadly, a premise the show never followed through on. "Our first warp-5 vessel! We can go so much farther now than ever before! We can explore strange new worlds! Boldly go where no man has gone before... or we can use you as a diplomatic courier vessel. My bad."

    I was thinking prototype Cyclone armor parts.

    The fact that Sivil looks like she's wearing bodypaint and not much else doesn't exactly dissuade people from thinking that way.

    Is he still credited in the third Aquarion? Also, I enjoyed the first Aquarion. He also did Basquash!, which remains one of only two sports anime I've ever really cared to watch(The other being Iron Leaguer).

    Moe harem mecha. Wait, wasn't that Frontier?

    Best part of the show!

    It isn't you. There's some depth to Basara desperately trying to claw its way through his thick skull, and it almost succeeds.

    Honestly, I kind of like ALL the original series destroids. Certainly, I hve favorites, but they're all just cool.

    Defenders and Spartans too.

    That would've been the SMART thing to do. I think we already established I didn't do the smart thing. I thought of that too, actually. He gets promoted in episode 20(which means Burst Point wasn't really a BAD start, continuity-wise), and he's still in his 1A when next seen flying in episode 22. He's got a VERY brief pass in 23 that ... it looks like he's flying a 1A in more-or-less Skull One colors when I freeze-frame it. From below, so the yellow markings aren't visible(resolution here's not good enough to check the tailfin tops difinitively{clearly I need the BluRays}, but I suspect they're white), but... yeah. Not a hint of blue on it. Picture attached, because why not. I will assume episode 24 is simply the point at which his 1J was ready/all that blue paint finished drying.

    Naw, Roy's too cool to die. Betcha it's that Ben Dixon fellow.

    Arpeggio and Redline are both really darn fun.

    If that is the level we have to aspire to, then a third of all games in existence are ripping it off. May as well complain that they both use a single button to fire the gun. Probably even the same button.

    A Hydorah remake? Rad! Locomalito's in the big leagues now!

    They don't say why he, or anyone else, gets a custom paintjob. Hikaru got one, Max got TWO... Even Kakizaki got one, bless his uncreative heart. "Change some of the brown to white! That'll do it!" Ah, here we are! Episode 24, Goodbye Girl. Misa is returning to Earth, and he's running escort in his brand-new, freshly-blued 1J. I spot-checked every episode from 19 to 24 to find this. Because I guessed way wrong. (And why I started with friggin' Burst Point is anyone's guess. RIP Kakizaki. ) And right after this episode is the video arcade, the infamous knife fight, and the wedding. So my initial gut instinct of "Same time he gets hitched" was closer than my second guess, given it is only shown once before the marriage. Woulda made for a strange wedding gift, though.

    You misunderstand. We want to see a mecha-snuff film with MONSTERS in it. IT IS NATURAL IN ANIME WORLD!

    Ahhhh, so that is what happened. I had it as a kid, and to my youthful eyes it was BLATANTLY obvious that the design was intended to transform, so I was always curious as to what happened. ... I think I've actually seen one modded to transform before. If I still had mine, I'd give it a crack.

    Dangit, I was about to do that!

    The Matchbox toy was fighter-only. And had a huge cockpit bulge. ("that's what she said" joke goes here) They also had the "joke machines" under license. My first VF was a Max Sterling 1S JM.

    I haven't finished Samus Returns. By the metroid sensor, I'm about halfway there(and sick to death of alpha metroids! Where are all the gammas?!). I EXPECT something about the X in the ending, much as AM2R did. Given the metroids were implied to be artificially created in Return of Samus, one would assume the X are as well(hooray out-of-control bioweapon programs!). But then, Fusion's plot demonstrated a distinct lack of familiarity with all aspects of Return of Samus. That implication is likely going to be ejected for Samus Returns anyways.

    Ah, right. Multiple bills in the air and it is all a matter of WHICH bills are paid and which are being argued over.
