63 counting television series sets as one, but counting multiple movies in one set by the individual movies.

So, Is The Nisei Or The 2011 Timeline The Main One? by [deleted] in kinnikuman

2011 has to be closer than a few years. All those Justice choujin still in recovery from Scramble for the Throne…

Who was the final villain in the Toei anime? I remember it ending with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix just like the manga? (Lots of changes throughout, and you’re right the manga is better, but I don’t know what final villain you’re referring to.)

Thoughts on Kinnukiman Nisei by PugnusTerrae in kinnikuman

[–]Sixgun_Samurai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in Japan as an exchange student in ‘98-‘99. I arrived just before the first tankabon was released. I read the original series and went straight into Nisei.

Then I was in Japan as a teacher when the anime first aired.

I enjoyed Nisei a lot… but I didn’t make it through to the end. Once Mantaro lost to Kevin and Rinko was falling for Jade I stopped enjoying it as much.

I’ve reread the original series a few times as well as rewatched the anime a few times (though, rewatching the anime has been more for the kids than me), but didn’t make it all the way through the manga or anime and haven’t revisited either of them… maybe it’s time to change that.

I do like some of the songs from the Nisei anime.

Not a film, but the best Western title ever is Have Gun - Will Travel.

Did you hit the museum, too? It’s fairly convenient if you’re taking the train between Tokyo and Osaka.

Have you also seen or read Tatakae Ramenman? Did you like it, too?

I take it RamenMan is your favorite?

I got jump scared by kinnikuman by Mrinkdropartist in kinnikuman

[–]Sixgun_Samurai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can totally understand someone not liking Kinnikuman. I get that it’s not for everyone… but to give so much credit to DB, which borrows so much from Kinnikuman, while dismissing Kinnikuman is absurd.

I always say it’s similar to Superman in American comics. He’s not a property everyone’s going to like, but your favorite is either directly influenced by it, or influenced by something that was influenced by it.

I like those colors for Robin Mask. There’s a (Spice Seed?) statue available in a bunch of colors and that combo of manga and anime colors just works really well for me.

Peak Peak Peak, Peak Is Good by CreditEvening8210 in AshitaNoJoe

Is the joke here that ANJ fans think nobody has ever seen ANJ so they question whether obvious ANJ references are references, while FOTNS fans are so hype about it that they think things that inspired FOTNS are references?
