What if 4Kids did Fist of the North Star, would you rage at that?

I did rage, but not for the appropriate reasons. Ah, whoever made that vid doesn't know how bad 4Kids editing can get...

Theres a few things I'd do to improve on that, for example, we all know 4Kids would use Hip Hop and terrible rap. Rather than one of the best songs from F-Zero X.
"North Star, North Star, Break it down to the NORTH STAR HOOOOO!"

Also, Using the original intro with all the JP text intact would definitely be right out. We all know 4Kids would instead mash together badly animated scenes from the series itself, they only ever use one or two scenes of the original Intro when it's convenient for them.

Also, this video is simply...
>implying 4kids would just dub it and edit out the violence
4Kids don't replace words. THEY REPLACE SCRIPTS. The Anime would instead be about "Kenneth J Star", who wants to be the worlds best Mountain Explorer, and his wacky hijinks as he comes into mild peril against other Mountain Explorers.
It wouldn't even be called "Fist of the North Star", it would be called "MOUNT-N-CLIMBERZ". The 'Z' is very important.

Still, unless he was willing to re-dub the thing himself, he probably shouldn't have bothered, Youtube captions always equals rage when used wrong.
The last part of the video was good though.

"Have a nice Trip" XD

I'd like to see what '2Kids' could do with the subject though.

my thoughts exactly

Holy crap. That actually relates to an old post I made a while back about this...who knew things would take such a vile turn?

Since those lovely people at Youtube have deleted the video, i had to spend some time finding it online....

....and i wish i hadn't bothered.

NO.
No it isn't.

It's portrayals like this that make anime fans (in particular Cosplayers) look wierdos and uncool.

We are wierdos though.

Though you have a point, I think all she is doing is making herself look like an idiot and now as well as the marvel fans hating her, japanophiles hate her as well!

You were at the recon last year weren't you?

We're looking at a 1:1 ratio of Fanboy Nutcases vs well adjusted people who hide their powerlevels in real life.
Sadly this video highlights the darker side of things, but normally you'll find that people are open minded enough to understand that people are individuals with their own lik- OKAY I can't write this with a straight face.

Yeah, Otakus have always been sailing upriver with this kind of thing. No point raging over every instance of someone tal-

"DAAAD!!, IT'S NOT CARTOOOOOOONSSSSSS!! YOU'RE ALWAYS DOING THISSS!"
They're not "Nintendo Tapes" either, they're just Cartridges okay Gran?
And it's called the "Gamecube" Mum, I don't know what a Gamebox is but I can assure you I've never owned one.

I have been on the horns of a dilemma, deciding whether to post this guy here, or in the general Youtube thread. He's not 100% tablepunching-rage material, more like terrified car-accident can't-look-away material, and it's questionable whether some of this really qualifies for an "anime edition" of a rage thread. However, his opinion pieces like this tipped the balance for me:

"...cos at the end Sailor Moon prayed to God for everyone to get a second chance" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Still, there's other things to enjoy, such has his bizarre iPod pseudo-conversations

...and of course the standard level of YouTube Personality Syndrome you'd expect.

The man has 3,800 videos, this is a treasure trove that will keep giving.
EDIT: Keep going back and he starts doing voices. I'm not sure if this is better or worse, judge for yourself

SERIOUSLY WHAT!?
I can't even contemplate what the hell is going on. I'd actually watch these if they weren't ALL 5+ MINUTES LONG. My lord...Hot Wheels Mystery Theatre has met it's match at last.

Ladies & Gentlemen, i give you Japanese pop sensation Beckii Cruel.

All the way from.....
...the Isle of White.



She rose to fame in Japan by posting videos of her dancing to things like Caramell Dansen, the Hare Hare Yukai, and Help me, ERINNNNNN on her youtube account.

The icing on the cake is that she was interviewed on This Morning today.

Why do I get the feeling I've seen a Kaiji version of Danjo..?

10 points to whoever can find that one.

I'm really not sure what to think of this girl, i mean.. she's just singing some meme and walking through town. I mean, does this equal instant fame and hideous amounts of wealth?

It's like someone filming their dog barking at the milkman and getting piles of cash thrown at them. It's not like it's hard to do or requires... anything.

I'm confused..

For that we shall have to turn the jury towards....EXHIBIT A.







Wow, easiest 10gs I've got in a while.
The best thing is, the more Fukumoto comics you read, the more references you get in these videos, such as the 'all 1's' dice and "Why is Kaiji eating chicken and drinking beer at the end!?"

Not on the 'tube for now, but a quick link to the station in question:
KTLA Los Angeles previews Anime Expo.

I'm not sure what to make of these, on the one hand it's a reasonably nice attempt to publicise the event and explain to people what those odd people in the weird costumes are up to. Then again, RAYMOOOOOOOO HAAAHKUUUURAY, and Japanese anime.
