14 years ago today, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars was originally released on the Nintendo Wii in NA. It was developed by Eighting and published by Capcom.

Here's a bunch of stuff that was announced during Mecha Smile Impact.

So far, I'm interested in 3 kits: Tekkaman Blade, Full Powered Gridknight, and Accesscode Talker.

NOC Interview: 'Street Fighter 6' Soundtrack Producer Koyo Sonae

I got to chat with the executive producer of the Street Fighter 6 Original Soundtrack, Koyo Sonae. We talked about his musical background, the ongoing legacy of Street Fighter, and various topics related to the music of video games. The SF6 Collector’s Edition Vinyl Set is now available wherever you get your awesome collector’s edition vinyl soundtracks guaranteeing that you will be the coolest…

hello airplane enjoyer. i am curious about your thoughts on the design of the God Phoenix from Gatchaman? the old one that fucks, not the new one

Ooh, plane anon. Alright, never heard of that plane or that show before, so let me do a little searching...

Oh.

Well that's definitely a plane for sure.

Only one pair of main wing and... somehow 3 vertical(ish) stabilizers? I wanna see if there's a rear view, hold on.

Two engines, so that's pretty standard. I can't tell where this thing's cockpit is, if there is one. Assuming it's not a drone/UAV.

I'm not an aerospace engineer but realistically I don't think this sort of design will be able to fly irl, because the main wings are so far back and there's nothing on the front to generate lift like small canards. Which means all the lift will be at the rear, so the nose wouldn't be able to pitch up...?

I guess that depends on the weight distribution, like if 80% of the mass is at the back half of the plane. But I don't think that's likely here.

Those exhausts look... hm... pretty normal. You'd still find jet nozzles like that in current era jets. Wonder if that's capable of thrust vectoring too.

Those pencil shaped things on the wingtips look like fuel tanks, kind of like the ones on an F-104 Starfighter, so that's taken from reality as well.

I can't make out what it is with that triple vertical stabs arrangement thing, definitely unorthodox.

Actually let me just read the wiki page of this Gatchaman show, which, again, I've never heard of before. But that design definitely speaks 1970-1980 aesthetics.

HOLD UP

It's a vehicle carrier, a spaceship and a submarine at once?! The designers must had been on crack when designing it. This thing has to be honking massive.

I mean, it speaks 1970-1980 aesthetics, so I guess rule of cool is the number one rule here.

It can reach Mach 5 in plane mode and 40 kts underwater. I don't know what the second and third point means but the fourth point is a concern because... well I can't see how you would use jet/rocket hybrid when traveling underwater. But again, rule of cool.

Yeah it's got nukes, so it has to be honking massive. I guess now that I'm reading the weapon/armament section, it is more like a spaceship fighter. That can also... function as a submarine.

Definitely one of the vehicles of all time, I can tell you that much.

THE TOONAMI CARTOON NETWORK/KIDS’ WB ERA (1997-2008) ANIME SMACKDOWN WILL SOON COMMENCE!!

In this tournament we will determine which series that aired on the Toonami block from 1997-2008 that tumblr users enjoyed the most. The one you always made sure to watch or that left the biggest impression on you. And if you didn’t watch Toonami, then vote for the series you liked the best! When vote then  vote in the name of nostalgia over what series you think is best *today*. 

How was each series chosen? 

I sourced the anime included in the bracket based on the well documented Wikipedia page for Toonami. However in order to keep the bracket manageable and even the playing field some decision were made: 

Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Cardcaptors, Sailor Moon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh [GX], and Naruto are excluded due to their overwhelming popularity, so to even the field Yuyu Hakusho will be the only series with its high level of international fame to participate. These series will be included in another bracket [TBA]. However I chose to keep Dragon Ball GT due to how polarizing it was among fans.

For the sake of simplicity series that are in some way chronologically connected will go under the same entry. For example: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Tenchin Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo are entered together Tenchi Muyo! in the bracket. Zoids: New Century and Zoids: Chaotic Century are entered together as Zoids. Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Enegron, and Transformers: Cybertron are entered together as Transformers Trilogy. Gundam is excluded from this ruling as just about every entry are stand alone stories or exist within separate canons. 

Japanese-international co-productions will be in a bracket of its own [TBA]. However an exception will be made for Voltron, G-Force, and Robotech. While technically considered adaptions because of the reworked scripts and footage, they’re re-broadcasts of early attempts at anime distribution in the US, rather than an attempt at making something for an audience who are already familiar with/fans of anime. The Transformers trilogy is also exempt from this ruling despite being produced by Hasbro as I view them the same as a Bandai produced anime.

 Hamtaro is not seeded but is in fact going up against G-Force: Guardians of Space. (I accidentally wiped the whole bracket 3 separate times while making it and i am not redoing it at this time, sorry)

Every series in the bracket are listed below the cut!

Voltron (An adaption of Beast King Go-Lion with some episodes using footage from Armored Fleet Dairugger)

G-Force: Guardians of Space (An adaption of Science Team Gatchaman)

Robotech (a frankensteined version of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada)

Gonna Need 'Em All. In Search For Gatchaman - Ken: Deathmatch

Mad Cave Studios I feel author Tommy Lee Edwards had Enter the Dragon in mind when writing Gatchaman Ken: Deathmatch. And I’ll get confirmation of that feeling is true when issue number two is released. Here, this seminal leader of the Science Ninja Team gets kidnapped while undercover, investigating a fight club of sorts. The costumes these fighters wear are as wacky as those WWE costumes and…

My favourite anime genre of the 2000s was Magical Girl Sci Fi and they just don't make that shit anymore like they used to.
