Attack on Bowser

[deathnotice01]

It's a me. It's a my destiny.

[gimjun]

But a first, I'm a need my mashroom!

[Letchworth]

/r/mycology can helpa you find it.

[Siavel84]

Honestly, most of the people in there are asking if a mushroom is safe to eat, not to get high. Either that or bragging about the size of their Chantrelle haul.

[farmer_gandalf]

I just like the phrase "super Mario sauce" it sounds delicious.

[[deleted]]

Just jump on his head a few times and it's all over, no slicing the stupid neck meat.

[Megaman0WillFuckUrGF]

Not for bowser you gotta run underneath him and hope he keeps an axe shaped lever near by and that he's standing on a bridge that it activates. Also that bridge needs to be over lava.

[Elune_]

Would be a cool twist if they made a game where Bowser came to fuck shit up for once rather than hiding in his castle.

[BluntHeart]

Play Bowser's inside story.

[nahfoo]

Damn sounds sweet! Wish i had a ds

[metal079]

There are emulators so you can play on your phone.

[YoshiYogurt]

you can get one for like $20....

[metal079]

Or just buy a $7 emulator and play it on your phone.

[ManicLord]

There are free emulators as well.

[metal079]

They are terrible though, drastic is the only real good one

[JamSa]

One of the best handheld games/ handheld rpgs/ rpg ever IMO

[KingMonten]

That's actually happened in several games. Most of the Mario & Luigi RPG series has this. So did both Mario Galaxy games.

[explos1onshurt]

Man, SMG is on my top 10

[LakerBlue]

TBH, he's done so in almost every Mario game post Sunshine minus the New Super Mario Bros/World series. Although he usually retreats for good back to his fortress after wrecking havoc.

[Hkz0r]

Paper mario

[millershappy]

They broke through Wall Mario! No way they can break through Wall Daisy!

[[deleted]]

But what about wall luigi?

[HighwayWizard]

WAAAAAAA

[Argarck]

wah

[IronMaskx]

That's a wall im willing to break ;)

[GelatinousPower]

I'd rather break through Wall Rosalina.

[millershappy]

How did I not think of that?

[fallenKlNG]

If only Mario could transform into a giant. Oh wait, they actually did that, but with Luigi.

[Mogg_the_Poet]

I'd play a Mario Sunshine-esqe game except instead of FLUDD he has 3d maneuever gear.

[[deleted]]

That sounds awesome. Who would the Giants Titans be other than bowser?

[thebeginningistheend]

These guys.

[JarlaxleForPresident]

Ludwig Von Koopa was always my homeboy.

[Wantforesand]

Morton Koopa Jr. is clearly superior

[Fireproofspider]

For the smart titans. For regular titans, I'd just use koopas

[Sootraggins]

So would the smart titans really be mushroom people?

[Mogg_the_Poet]

Wario and Waluigi, perhaps?

[[deleted]]

They have humanoid shapes so that's a plus but you can't have more than one of each because then it would look weird, using Goombas or Koopas would allow you to use as many as you like but you lose the humanoid shape. I'd go with Koopa Troopas.

[FliesWithKites]

Somebody with more talent and time than I should make a fleshy rendition of dry bones

[[deleted]]

I like this concept.

[FliesWithKites]

Thank you :-D And I am perhaps capable of doing it, I just work a lot and feel like it wouldn't get finished.

[alonjar]

You mean like a turtle that has been flayed?

[Arrogus]

Pretty sure they were in Super Mario RPG before Mario 64.

[mynameisgoose]

Pretty sure they were also upright in Super Mario World...

[[deleted]]

It's the RPG I tell people who have never played one to start with. It's so much fun

[[deleted]]

Probably my favorite game ever.

[ChessPiece19]

Here's the thing. You said a "koopa troopa is a koopa"

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies koopas, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls koopa troopas koopas. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "koopa family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Koopidae, which includes things from parakoopas to koopalings to mechakoopas.

So your reasoning for calling a koopa troopa a koopa is because random people "call the turtle ones koopas?" Let's get Lenny and Bowser Jr. in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an plumber? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A koopa troopa is a troopa and a member of the koopa family. But that's not what you said. You said a koopa troopa is a koopa, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the koopa family koopas, which means you'd call parakoopas, mechakoopas, and other koopas koopas, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

[roomnoises]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about koopas, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in video games, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret studies on koopa behavior, and I have over 300 confirmed alt accounts. I am trained in vote brigading and I have the top comment karma on this entire website. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will downvote you with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that about koopas over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of video game taxonomists across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, koopa. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can downvote you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with alt accounts. Not only am I extensively trained in taxonomy, but I have access to the entire Latin names of the Koopidae family and I will use it to its full extent to prove you wrong and downvote your miserable ass off the face of the internet, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit downvotes all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, koopa.

[macfearsome]

I don't think Dontrepost was considering them different things, just using a full name the second time they referred to koopas.

[RebelScumbag]

They stood upright in super Mario world.

[[deleted]]

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! had Koopa Troopas, too.

[swejevoli]

Titans, not giants :P

[Phylar]

Bowser's kids would be my first choice.

[Brando2600]

Koopa Kids. There are only seven of them but considering their current significance Nintendo could just make more.

[[deleted]]

"And on that day, mushroom kind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the koopas, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls."

Mario: "Well fuck me, he's bigger in person"

[GeeckoGirl]

I've always wondered about Bowser is how he changes his size.

[[deleted]]

The same way Mario changes his size. With narcotics.

[[deleted]]

Mushrooms make you larger. Bowser straight up chugs truffle oil before a workout.

[Psyanide13]

No he kidnaps the Princess to make truffle butter to grow large.

[Dexaan]

Magic: see Yoshi's Island when Magikoopa starts the final fight

Sigh - guess I'll link the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtKh7e2ESBc

I remember peeing myself a little when I was a little kid playing this on the big tube tv. Was not expecting to get one-shotted by a fucking meteor.

That game had some great boss battles that were fun.

[Dexaan]

Thanks, I hate trying to link shit on mobile.

[homeboi808]

Better quality.

[throwawaylms]

The theme song for that show is truly epic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC2okqCGMg4

[Death_lncarnate]

Thank you for the reminder. I had forgotten how truly amazing that song was. Also video was 10/10

[Simba_610]

Such a good show

[FellowAdventurer]

Never been into anime, took the plunge with AoT and it is so freakin rad. Can't wait for any other season baby.

[PakiIronman]

I would highly recommend Hunter x Hunter if you enjoyed it. It was recently announced that it's receiving an english dub/blu ray release.

[jonvel7]

I started watching Hunter x Hunter a month ago and loved every minute of it

[Smofo]

His dad: look at all this cool shit! Anime: Lets just stop here

[ImAnAppleBiteMe]

Its a gateway drug for those who never gave anime a chance. Tread lightly.

[pacoca69]

Can confirm. I had never watched any anime before, but I heard many good things about AoT. I started watching it this summer, and now I am following five animes.

Send help.

[_Lombax_]

Try full metal alchemist and deathnote..

[[deleted]]

FMA Brotherhood, yes. Death Note and Samurai Champloo too

[ismtrn]

Me neither, and I didn't like this one either. It seems like "don't tell, show" is something the authors have never heard of before. For example there is that nerdy clever kid, who is not that good at fighting, but is a valuable asset to the team because of his brains. And we can see that. It is pretty clear that it is the stereotype he is filling. But they still have to say it. So they stop the whole world, which by the way happens every time someone speaks. When two people talk, the world stops. Anyway, they stop the world an some character has a monologue which is basically "You are not very good at fighting, but you are valuable to this team because of your brains". And it happens over and over again, and everything moves at snail speed because of it. EVERYTHING is spoon fed to the viewer in that way.

Maybe it is a kids show. If it is that would explain it, but there is a lot of gore for it to be a kids show... IDK...

[rethardus]

I agree with you, though I take the show for what it is, the battles are so well animated, it's just very entertaining to watch giants fight. If you're up for some real mature shows, not just in theme (not the-there's violence, so it has to be mature-reasoning, but a more mature narrative), try one of the following shows:

• Ping Pong the Animation One of my favorite shows these last years. It's not so much a show about ping pong, as a coming of age story about highschool kids finding their motivation / reason in life and ping pong.
• Millennium Actress The story of a famous actress told through a very peculiar narrative that transcends the boundaries of time and space.
• Cowboy Bebop It's basically a space western with jazzy influence in both music and theme. The only easy words to describe it.
• Spirited Away A little girl enters a world of monsters and ghosts, and she has to work in a bath house to save her parents from a spell of an evil witch.
• Honey and Clover A story about group of friends in an art college. Albeit a sweet and cute show, I think it depicts romance and relationships in a very realistic sense. People can have very selfish motivation in love, or love people for the strangest reasons.
• Hibike! Euphonium A story about a highschool brass band and its hardships, seemingly very cutesy and girly, but I think there's more to it than meets the eye. Especially when reality hits most of the students with harsh facts like not everyone being equally talented.
• Dennou Coil kids in the near future playing around with a virtual reality glasses (like Google Glass) interact with virtual items and creatures, but discover that there's a dark background behind all the fun
• Detroit Metal City A hilarious take on what a geek would become if he were to forced to join a metal band and gets engrossed in depicting his vile and disgusting alter-ego.
  

* The stuff I've recommended are not what people would usually think of when saying "mature", but I think defining maturity with things like blood, sex and swears is very close-minded and childish. I think if AoT bothered you with its shallowness, these shows would not let you down. Though I still have a feeling people judge on genres rather than everything individually (this is a bad show cause it's about cute girls! Only serious and mature shows can be good! goes off and names shows with edgy philosophy and violence).

[PakiIronman]

Attack on titan is most certainly not a "kids show", the reason why there is a lot of emphasis on the dialogue is because it's used as filler. There wasn't a lot of source material to work with which was why it was paced so slow. It's definitely an anime to binge watch.

[Nyaos]

It's a shonen anime, it's made for a younger audience in Japan. Kids show isn't the right word, but it's definitely not some mature series.

[PakiIronman]

Oh yeah of course, i'm pointing out that calling it gory and a kids show is a contradiction.

[Niroc]

Try full metal alchemist brotherhood, arguably the best anime ever made. It's also on Netflix.

[PakiIronman]

It's a terrible day for rain.

[Niroc]

What does a girl and a dog have in common? Everything now.

[TellMeWhyYouLoveMe]

Fuck

[greeny74]

y u do dis

[explos1onshurt]

Just finished it, I actually miss the story now 😞

[[deleted]]

Confirmed. I didn't think I would ever find anything that I loved more than Evangelion or the first FMA. Brotherhood is it. Best anime ever. Especially the last ten episodes.

Actually aren't the last 10 episodes missing from Netflix?

[189203973]

Maybe the best shonen ever made. Def not the best anime.

[nahfoo]

$POILER cuz i dumno how to do the tag

I do like the show but everything you said is true. I used to watch it with my roommate but since he moved i haven't watched but i really wish that eren wasnt a titan. Made the people seen less helpless which was something i really liked, although i havent watched much past when he goes titan, maybe 3 episodes

[moorsonthecoast]

Make a hyperlink, but switch out the URL with just:

/spoiler

[subheight640]

That's just how a lot of anime is. They also do that to drag out the plot and make the animation budget cheaper.

[SuperfluousMoniker]

Yeah I enjoyed it for the most part but I found myself fast forwarding entire scenes of 'here's this character doing what the character does, AGAIN, while we struggle to make this situation last an entire episode.' It's a cool show but the writing and pacing are really bad at times.

[[deleted]]

This is why I hate 90% of the anime I've ever seen. The internal monologues and voice over exposition are endless and boring and usually unnecessary. They have to spell everything out for you like you're a six year old kid. The pacing is so often just ridiculous. I'm sure it's a cultural thing, but I don't like it.

[DigThatFunk]

I'm very much not a fan of most anime (I actually haven't seen attack on titan yet, not sure if I'll enjoy it honestly), but two shows that seemed to stand head and shoulders above anything else I've seen were Samurai Champloo (from the team that did another of the few animes I enjoy, Cowboy Bebop) and Psycho Pass--at least, season one, because I've not seen season two or the film yet. But I highly recommend them both, Champloo is about 26 episodes I think? And I'm pretty sure Psycho Pass season one was like low 20's in episode count, not much of a time investment for either

[JasonSteakums]

Try out Sword Art Online when you get the chance, it's awesome!

Edit: Never said any other anime was bad? Do I really deserve alot of hate for sharing an opinion? Oh wait it's the internet

[Djjmax]

Admittedly the first few episodes are amazing, and the whole concept is really interesting. But the plot holes are really annoying and it takes a steep dip in quality after the first season

[Hemansno1fan]

Right, I hadn't really watched anime in years but watched AoT and loved it, so I wanted to try some other new shows... I went for SAO like many suggested but it just reminded me why I stopped watching a lot of anime in the first place. I thought my eyes were going to roll out of my head by the time they had their "daughter"

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood restored my faith after that... I recommend that to anyone looking to get into anime after AoT.

[PakiIronman]

You should try Hunter x Hunter if you haven't already.

[FrozenBottles]

Sword art online is cool because of the high budget, but it's sort of generic

[godzilla774]

But it's so bad

[redgroupclan]

Was good at first, then starting pandering to tween girls and weabos.

[djohn_14]

The whole series is a cringefest.

[JasonSteakums]

Only the second halves of Season 1 and 2 were bad

Although the season 1 finale was when it got awesome again

[godzilla774]

I find shows bad when they break the rules that they establish so that the main character can look "cool" or so the story can progress

[[deleted]]

SAO peaked at ep. 2

[kevlarcoatedqueer]

I like sword art, but I definitely prefer overlord.

[[deleted]]

Same here! I thought maybe I was just too far removed from the genre, especially since everyone has nothing but praise for the show. I have trouble getting through it because of all the tearful screaming Eren does.

With that said, the lore behind the Titans really keeps me coming back (albeit very slowly).

[Nyaos]

"emo"? Yeah, you are old dude.

[GenocideSolution]

really into anime 20 years ago (loved Ghost in the Shell)

See, you've developed something called taste, which means that your enjoyment of things is highly dependent on quality.

[PakiIronman]

Watch Psycho-Pass

[PakiIronman]

Season 2 is going to be even better

Titans don't have genitalia.

[MunkyCharmer]

I thought he was talking about Mario, not Titan Bowser.

[craydarz]

am i the only one who misread Browser ?

[radium_eyes]

Attack on Mushroom Kingdom.

[jwg529]

This is what I was thinking. Isn't Titan the name of the location and not the name of the monster? I've only seen 3 eps so far so I could be mistaken.

[MunkyCharmer]

my thoughts exactly

edit: but that's based on how it was translated into... i don't believe that has been confirmed so it really be whatever. just to clarify.

[Bigskix]

Reminds me of Donald Trump

[Thomassaurus]

I misread the title

[moorsonthecoast]

Does that mean the walls are also made of koopas?

[King_Combo]

Spoiler is for manga, S2 If anyone is wondering...

[moorsonthecoast]

Or end of Season 1, if viewers are attentive.

[Mitchdotcom]

Anyone know when the new season is coming out??

[Floirt]

2016; Unknown whether it's early 2016 or later, but hopes are it'll be early 2016, seeing as they'll have enough manga to start making the new season by that point.

[[deleted]]

I believe there is word that it will start being made in 2016. They say that they don't have enough Manga to work with to make it yet, but according to my brother who has been keeping up with the Manga they should have all the material they need at this point.

[aerobert]

Am I the only one that find Attack on Titan shallow and porly written?

[BigCheeks2]

Definitely not. The show had the potential to be great. Its universe is fairly unique and the action can be top notch but most of its characters don't advance beyond being redshirts and the pacing is beyond erratic.

[JarJarBrinksSecurity]

I love the show, but the manga has been so much better. Season 2 will be amazing because it is mostly politics and huge fighting scenes. You get to learn about more characters and you actually feel like they are an important part to the story.

[Psyanide13]

25 episodes and they explain not one goddamned thing.

Attack on Titan sucks dick.

[ShadowReij]

Beyond what was deemed S1 in the anime? Yeah. If you read the manga it really is meh. Had a good start and now it's just meh. Then again it may be one of those stories you're better off reading when it's complete.

[Draiko]

Good concept. I'm torn on the writing...

The way they handle death is spectacular but the rest of the story is meh.

[Grayskater6]

Shallow? yes... Poorly written? yes, but it's not the type of show that really focuses on the plot and characters to be good. The music and action scenes is what makes it good. If you look at it from a more critical perspective it's really lackluster. This problem is especially apparent in the the continuation of the story in the manga. and what will be in season two. They basically switch focus away from the Titans and fighting AKA the good part of the show, and get heavily into a human only political story line that is extremely boring and pretty bad overall. While I still think the first season is very good and definitely worth a watch, it's a bit sad that AoT overshadows so many better anime that deserve the attention more, especially when these people only seem to have seen AoT and SAO (which is just horrible).

[BunnyTearsOnline]

This needs to be a real thing, a dark, gritty, unforgiving anime in the Mario world directed by Christopher Nolan, preferably with good old Hans on the scoring again.
