I haven't talked to anyone here on MAL in such a long time.

Time sure flies way too fucking fast. My like has been everywhere since then, but right now mostly for the better. Things sure were shit back then, I had no friends, no girlfriend and all my projects were failing.

I haven't been focusing at all on my anime backlog, but me and my girlfriend always follow a few seasonal shows. I spend most of my free time on gaming, though. I'm playing Black Myth Wukong right now, the plot is ass but the gameplay is dope.

How about you? Is life still treating you the same?

I've been dreading their possible end since the Visions of Mana studio got closed. I'm hoping all the other studios they've shutdown has given GM a bit more leeway.

Yooo, they're actually doing it

Some news I didn't see is that we're getting another live action adaptation. I'm not sure what the crossover part entails exactly, sounds to me more like it's using the Nihon Toitsu name like part of an anthology series, rather than having the characters meet or whatever, but then I know nothing about the series beyond what's in the article. Already looks more interesting than the Amazon series at any rate, but can it reach the highs of the stage play?

Well, it finally happened. Hey, at least that means more of my boy Rikiya.... fuck, they changed him. Guess they don't want him to share a VA with Yuta, especially when he uses his likeness. Mine Gaiden looks like it has a bit of meat on it, and seems like we may actually play a yakuza who does yakuza things for once.

Wasn't expecting to wake up to news of new Suda51 game, but I more than welcome it.

Yeah, a pretty whatever story, not that I had any particular expectations for it, and I felt it was way more side content focused. But hey, was still fun and unironically pulling "the friends we made along the way" at the end of the Devil Flags was based. Still would have been nice to get something more in tone with that post-credits scene, need them to bring more of that to the next game. Also again with the Judgement cameos still hoping for 3 and the North Star stuff makes me wonder if they'll ever try something like that again for another franchise.

Silver Case and 25th Ward are games I really want to replay soon. Like it's been a few years since I last played them but I still find myself constantly thinking about scenes from them. I've held off for a while to let some details get a bit more vague in my memory, but also because I was sorta holding out hope for a FSR remake, and translations for Twilight/Moonlight Syndrome. FSR would probably be a while since in an interview not too long ago Suda was basically "Oh yeah, I still want to do that eventually", but I could just go through the DS version again anyway. Just googling Twilight/Moonlight now they actually have translations being worked on fairly recently, but you know, not gonna get my hopes up until the finished thing is out or at like 80% anyway. Looking at screenshots of them all I might even be able to get through them at my JP level with a dictionary on tab, though I'd want to try that out with some other games I don't care about fully grasping first. But leaving all that aside I think I'm gonna give in and give SC and 2thW a replay sometime this year anyway, they're worth multiple replays.

Also on the translation front just last night I found out Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special had one drop last month. So that's one I gotta hop on soon.

Was nice that Pirates finally gave us a Mad Dog style that's actually fun to use. Also cool that Nishida and Minami returned from the forgotten character purgatory.

Turns out we do have a Yakuza anime

Just make sure you don't make the mistake I did and watch the one with updated subs that came out a couple months ago.

Watched the Yakuza stage play, and it proves the movie could have worked as a more straightforward adaptation. Was a really fun watch and it was cool the way they adapted stuff from the game. Like goddamn, they recreate the way fights end on that final blow. And of course we get a great Majima actor.

I'm already imaging an Akiyama and Saejima spinoff down the line. Bring back the OG new protagonists as playable. Things like that Ryuji prequel game rumoured a few years back, or that Kuze prequel I see some wanting, seem more viable now too. Shit, maybe even Tanimura has like a 1% chance of returning now.

A Majima gaiden ain't surprising, but a pirate game that's apparently canon is. It's no Judgement 3, but looking forward to returning to Hawaii in The Man Who Forgot His Name.

Man, I was curious... May I ask of what shows are the comments you have on your signature?
