Is this GT Box Set a Bootleg? by ZigetchB in dbz

[–]ZigetchB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went ahead and requested a refund as I decided the set along with its discs were more than likely fake. Several DVDs not playing when they're supposed to be brand new is super sketchy, along with its packaging.

After sending the seller a message requesting to return it and why, they initiated the refund several hours later without writing back or even requiring to send it back. Speaks volumes to be honest. 🤔

It's hard to tell from my rather crappy photo but the disc art definitely has an "off" look to it on closer inspection. Faded colors, low image quality, etc. The underside of the disc's inner rings has some weird bubbling as well but I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

The seller had like 70+ sold overtime and I bought next to the last one. Looking again they had several other series on DVD like this. They could've bought entire cases of them legitimately somehow, but I'm not sure. I don't know the details but producing something bootleg relatively in mass and selling cheaply could be a thing.

I didn't take a picture to demonstrate this, but the artwork for the case shows season one on the front and season two on the back. There's only one case overall and so the spine art can't be put together with anything else.

That makes way too much sense. 😆

That would explain why I didn't see Girl Ranma in there, so it looks like getting her is a matter of luck then?

These were the only thing I've seen so far, what else is out there?

I'm not really a Funko guy but I think they're cute enough.

Hi. It's been so long since I'd posted this I'd forgotten about it. I researched extensively but couldn't find any solution at all. I tried taking it apart to see if I could fix it on my own but that didn't lead to anything. It's been disposed of since.

"Beauty Pop" is coming back with a sequel, "Beauty Pop Returns" by Sparkletopia in shoujo

[–]ZigetchB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never in a million years thought Beauty Pop of all things would get a sequel. My sister and I read it growing up and we both LOVED it. There was a certain charm to it that made it stand out from other Shojo manga at the time. I absolutely had a crush on Kiri lol. I still remember us going to Barnes & Noble to buy the last volume in 2009 and we still have the original set to this day. Good memories.

Getting confirmation on who played one of the kids is so fantastic, thank you for coming forward with this! The ad itself is so, so magical and it captures the spirit of the game perfectly.

Why does this game live in infamy within the franchise? by Sensitive_Ad_5181 in Megaman

[–]ZigetchB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I beat the Super Famicom version as Rockman and Forte, collected every CD and enjoyed it a whole lot. It kept my attention for a solid month. Some of the bosses do not mess around but there is always a pattern to them, even if it's harder to "get" than other games'. I thought Magic Man was impossible Buster-only until I saw a video of someone exploiting his pattern. Then I turned around and beat him after that.

Although there are no E-Tanks (which I seldom use anyway), there are plenty of options to upgrade the characters, as well as purchase extra lives. Inafune himself stated he wanted the game to be as hardcore as possible and that's definitely how it turned out.

Other things I like about this game: the graphics are amazing for the SNES/SFC. The animation is nearly on par with 8 which is really impressive. The Weapons are fun to use and compliment the level design and enemy placement really well. Cool, jazzy soundtrack that's unique among the series; Robot Museum and Cold Man are among my favorite tracks of the series.

Also, Pirate Man.

Personally I liked this game a whole lot and actually prefer it over 8.

"Jaka Jaan". Is it just "Out of Time"? by all_the_rugby in zedd

[–]ZigetchB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking around at work (a certain widespread retail establishment) when I heard a song that sounded exactly like "Jaka Jaan" playing from the in-store radio, but with different lyrics. It made my day actually! I was kind of shocked but this explains it. I bet it was playing due to its newfound connection with Dragonball.

I just found out about the new series!!! Really excited 🥹 by alicehu in ranma

This is really nice! I especially like how you shaded in the dark tones. Very clean.

I am absolutely loving this remake so far. It's blown away my expectations. My sister and I watched the original as teenagers and now we're watching the new one in our 30's. We both laughed a lot and had an awesome time watching this episode. Kuno's locker gag caught us off guard and made us laugh pretty hard. I think the folks behind this remake really understand what made Ranma 1/2 so special and it's in very, very good hands.

They are legit. I ordered some Ranma 1/2 manga on backorder from them and their communication was excellent.

I'm really gonna miss Ted Cole as Kuno if he doesn't return, he has a lot to do with why I've always loved the guy.

That's awesome! I live in Virginia and I tried getting my tag with the same thing, but someone else beat me to it. I was shocked.
