...translated subtitles...?
No, I mean, with the Japanese soundtrack... never mind.

When the first game came out I didn't see much promise. I don't think this game will be good either, I guess I could try it and download a ROM.

BTW, have any of you seen the trailer for this game? It just adds to the childish look.

It's been longed established that 4Kids rapes and murders anime series of all content that would actually make them good, or prevent them from being pure shit.  Yes it's "4Kids" Freeze, but I've never seen the point of taking something not always meant for a younger audience and dumbing it down for the kiddies.  It generally ruins the original for everyone and provides the kids with a cheap imitation.  Imagine taking a GTA game and taking out all the things that make it unsuitable for kids, then making that the poster child of the series.  All you have then is pure shit.
Good analogy.  The only problem is that I now I can't get a "kiddie" version of GTA out of my mind.  :P

That's probably why I can't get into a lot of Anime...especially series like One Piece or Pokemon.

Now Akira and Vampire Hunter D on the other hand...

4kids is one of the reasons I generally refuse to watch anything but subbed anime.  I think the only exception I have to this is Cowboy Bebop.

I caught a few episodes of Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim.  It was actually pretty good, but then again, it's Adult Swim.  They don't water anything down.

I actually enjoyed some of the unedited episodes of Dragonball Z as well.  That series is just hard to watch because one battle will go on for about 20 episodes, and 19 of those episodes are dialogue. :P

Well I'm sure the new live action movie will be pretty much all dialog.

On an Anime stand point I can only watch/read so much, and usually I'm watching episodes in original Japanese with subtitles because most of the blood and violence is still there.

Can I write a preview for this game? An article?

You can always write something. You just might not get to post it. Which destroys the point of writing it, but the point remains.

For some reason, it almost seemed that you intentionally wanted to destroy my hopes and dreams ;_;

As Cesium said, you can always write something. You're just at my mercy.

I'd say it's like shooting angsty fish in a barrel, but I think there's enough quoting already, so.

Anyway, yeah. I see no reason why you couldn't. But I'm not staff, so take my words as you will.

I'd like to add something. I would add this in Articles Needed, but the current discussion is more relevant to this, so.

I will never blatantly not post an article. I'll either edit it or post it as is. If I edit it in a major way, I'll contact you before posting it to make sure you're okay with what I changed.

All right.  I might get it done by next week, but the game is so close to being out that I may just wait and review it :x.
