animeweedlord420 is actually cosplaying as Yayoi from Idolmaster (although he says Ami and Mami, I guess for the "lulz"): http://youtu.be/OFHdJ_r79so

I hope he goes to AX and does the same thing to NicoNico. I'd buy him burger for that~♥

 

Sal laughing at his own joke is probably the pinnacle of every podcast in forever.

I was always a little confused with their anime licensing, 'cause, yeah, they're also being shown on other sites (some even saying in better quality, too, but I haven't viewed anime on NN.).

Here's hoping the update will clean up the layout 'cause dayum! When the site first opened I saw videos of, like, kids playing their backyard and things not really related to what one would associate with Nico Nico. I think if they want a stronger user base they need to build communities and throw out new ideas.

The explore-like-you-have-OCD shtick is something I still enjoy from gaming's days of yore, especially in the Silent Hill games. Years after playing the first game I STILL discovered new things in the game.

Everything else sounds exactly like what I what expected. Homecoming was enough to drop me out of the franchise for good (although, Shattered Memories was different enough that I couldn't be disappointed in the same way, and it actually turned out to be decent) so I'll be skipping this, but at least this shows that Konami is kinda/sorta~ taking SH seriously again.

Oh, right, HD Collection...

 

Fun Fact: Homecoming was originally supposed to be more horrible than how it was released! (starting by making it a trilogy)

Is this the same group that Dale "The Deal" North featured a while back? I loved that song.

Holo Tupac  was made by a company in San Diego from what I read in another article, while Holo Miku was made by several companies in Japan. It would be interesting to see how they came about the idea for Thug Angel.

Although, all this reminds me of when Nat Cole "came back" for a duet with his daughter: http://youtu.be/53ith7bNN8w

Is this a rerelease of Abandon the Old in Tokyo? I have a copy of that volume from about three years back.

At any rate, I highly recommend that manga, and anything by Yoshihiro Tatsumi. The man has an eye for characters getting the short end of the stick - or probably are the short stick themselves in the postwar era Japan.

I think I agree. Toonami was around when the boom was on the upswing. They featured series that had momentum. I'd like to see CN/AS feature more series with variety, but that might be a hard sell these days. A series like Nichijou would be perfect.

If any anime block comes back I want it to be Tech TV's Anime Unleashed. They had different series going on and most, from what I remember, were home run hitters; Lain, Boogiepop, Gatekeepers 2021. Read or Die TV. 

Can ya feel me?

 @thethomaseffect Sal's volume level is at least 6 notches louder than everyone else's - the way it should be.

The original tune was brilliant.

I would love to do a rendition of this, too. Maybe metal or bluegrass.

 @Mollord I can see the adrenaline fulled from the fear and the intense situation he was in pushing himself through like nothing. Something most finales, like in thriller and horror films, show as the last chance for escape.

I agree with the reactions from the other characters. All of a sudden the characters just go apeshit when before they didn't seem to mind the curse all that much in the beginning. I'm sure you know who I'm referring to when I mention one character who just goes mental for no reason that I can gather. That part kind of scared me a bit! (not really)
