So, I didn't see a thread on here about the "That time I got reincarnated as a slime" anime and I was wondering, what do you all think about it? I'm liking it so far ≧◡≦

My Anime is my favorite : Sword art online is such a great anime to watch in a free time. the plot overall has twists and its amazing! what do you guys think?

Sailor Moon Video Games Sailor Moon is a massive franchise, pervading all types of media. This also includes video games! Unfortunately, it is estimated that 90% of these games never have seen official releases outside of Japan. However, fans being amazing as we are, many of these have been translated over the years! I have played a good chunk of these myself, but am still working my way through the vast library of these titles. There are also tons of fan-made games for the franchise, many completely worth playing! My current focus is the Super Moon Fighter series that was created by Sprite Team (a Japanese gaming company), for the X68000. There are several versions of Sailor Moon fighting games that this company has created, and through the power of the internet I have been able to experience NEARLY all of them. Sadly, the version of the game that sparked my interest, Super Moon Fighter DX, is the single version that appears to be missing from the internet. Any help in unearthing this version would be greatly appreciated. Below is the character select screen, and some additional sprites for reference. The specifics for this version include that Sailor Moon is now Eternal Sailor Moon, and has Luna as a side kick who can also attack. Also, Super S abilities were added in such as Venus Love and Beauty Shock, Mars Flame Sniper, Jupiter Oak Evolution, etc. It is also the only currently known version of the game to include Sailor Saturn, who is extremely powerful. Super Moon Fighter aside, I would love for this to just be a general Sailor Moon Video Game Discussion Thread. Speak about whatever you like regarding that subject here! I'll start. Of all the Sailor Moon video games out there, my favorite would have to be Sailor Moon Another Story. If you are unfamiliar, it's a turn-based battle style JRPG that was officially released on the Super Famicon (SNES) by a company called Angel in 1995. To date, it has never seen an official English translation. However, there have been two largely recognized translations done over the years. The original fan translation of the game was done by Bishoujo Senshi Translations released in 1999. This translation heavily relies on knowledge of the fan-subtitled Sailor Moon anime, and fansub anime in general. Additionally, the creators had to do some major re-programming to get it to work properly. The translation is not perfect, but is still very well done and does not impede on enjoyment of the game. Some technique descriptions are inaccurate / funny. Example: The link technique that combines Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Uranus is called Fire Thunder Shaking. The description for this attack is "An old man?" Released 20 years after Bishoujo Senshi Translations' initial release, this is a complete English re-localization of the game. Featured are several fixes to issues and bugs in the original game. There is also a version of this that has some small changes to increase quality of life: that being, double EXP per battle and 1/2 enemy encounter rate as well as adding an attack enhancement item to a shop for Sailor Mercury's solo quest. (Because most people had no idea that her Shabon Spray attack is actually the most useful ability in the game). Both versions of the game are available online. Google search the game title, plus "Fantasy Anime" and you'll find it. Sailor Mercury - From Useless to OP Back when all we had was the original translation, and very limited resources, those of us who were able to play it had absolutely NO idea that Sailor Mercury's ability, Shabon Spray, didn't do direct damage. It is even listed in the fan guide as simply causing minor damage. It wasn't until playing this game as an adult, and becoming obsessed with the fact that her 2 CP cost attack did so much less than everyone else's, and also seemed to have a strange damage limit to it (the numbers never seeming to go higher than 20), for it to just be straight damage. I tested it out, figured out that the numbers popping up are showing exactly how much you are reducing the enemies attack by , and then promptly ran to the internet to find that someone else had discovered the same thing a few years prior. LOL! But still! That was an exciting moment for me, and to this day I do not think it is very well known. Because of this ability, and the fact that Sailor Mercury has one of the highest Defense Stats in the game, Sailor Mercury has successfully taken the spot as Most Useful Character in Sailor Moon Another Story. Feel free to disagree below.

Ok, I have no artistic talent of my own, but I know there's a few others here without such a handicap. Now is your time. What is an amabie, you ask? Well, wikipedia says, "... the amabiko is a multi-legged prophesizing creature which prescribes the display of its artistic likeness to defend against sickness or death." Yokai.com - obviously(?) the leading authority on yokai - has this somewhat more useful description, If anyone has some drawing skills and would like to take a crack at illustrating the above description(s) - for fun and (possibly) the aid of humanity - then post your artwork below. I think a bunch of people might benefit from seeing it before this whole thing is over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amabie http://yokai.com/amabie/ https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amabie

Chapter 1:The Multiverse Begins Planet 4032 (Earth) "It sure is a nice day to go training isn't it". Said Goku in excitement. "Hmph. I guess it is". Said Vegeta in a angry tone. "Alright let's go!" Said Goku. Soon as they were about to fly away, Vegeta's wife Bulma stop them. "You know instead of training in the city and causing destruction all the time how about you two try to go off the coast for once". Said Bulma. Goku is thinking of an excuse to not train out in the ocean. "What if we drown". As Goku said Nervously. "Nice try Goku but if you and Vegeta want to go training. THEN TRAIN OFF THE DAMN COAST!" Said Bulma in a stressful manner. "Okay, okay, okay. We'll go off the coast Bulma". Said Goku. "I better not catch you two training in the city." Said Bulma. Goku and Vegeta finally go do training. But at the beginning of the training, Vegeta keeps asking Goku. "Use your Ultra Instinct." Said Vegeta. "Vegeta we're training. Why would I need to use ultra instinct." Said a confused Goku. "Because I want to see how strong I am against you while your Ultra Instinct". Said a confident Vegeta. "But Vegeta I don't think I can". Said Goku. "LISTEN TO ME KAKAROT. YOU'RE GOING TO USE ULTRA INSTINCT, EVEN IF THAT MEANS I HAVE TO-". A massive rumbled happened as Goku and Vegeta were arguing. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT." Said Goku. "THAT'S A GIANT HOLE KAKAROT. YOU DUMB ASS." Said Vegeta. Goku and Vegeta are confused and worried and trying to figure out what's going on. "Hey Vegeta let's go ask Bulma what the hell is happening". "Okay. Let's go Kakarot". Goku and Vegeta fly over to Capsule Corp to meet Bulma but the loud rumble stops them but they keep pushing. "Let's hope Bulma is okay. We need to get answers of what's going on." Said Goku. Goku and Vegeta arrive at Capsule Corp and ask Bulma what's going on. "It appears the multiverse is happening. This could be really bad." Said Bulma. "How?" Said Goku. "OTHER PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT UNIVERSES CAN COME TO THIS UNIVERSE AND IT COULD CAUSE A BIG WAR DESTROYING THE PLANET". Goku and Vegeta stood there in shocked not knowing what to do or think. Planet 5748 (Earth) A Few Hours Earlier "NO, YOU BASTARD. YOU DESTROYED MY TIME MACHINE!" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed Fu. "Your precious timeline will be just fine Trunks. I mean it's not like it will cause a disaster." Said Fu in a sarcastic tone. "YOU BASTARD YOU WILL DIIIIIIIIE!" Screamed Trunks. "I don't think I will haha". Said Fu as he vanished. "D-DAMNIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Trunks stood there not knowing what to do. "Fu. That bastard. I should've never trusted him!" As Trunks said in his head. In a upset way. Chapter 2:Rifts "Mom, what's going on?" Asked Kid Trunks. "Trunks listen to me. Go to your room and STAY THERE." "Okay mom!" "Goten I need you go to your mother. NOW!" Exclaimed Goku. "But dad..." "LISTEN TO ME GOTEN. GO TO YOUR MOTHER NOOOW." Shouted Goku. "O-Okay" Said a scared Goten. As Goten was flying to his home a rift opened up right in front of him. But Goten ignored it and still kept going to his house. To check on his mother. As keeps flying someone stops him. It's the Demon Slayer Tanjiro. "HEY KID. GET BACK HERE"! Shouted Tanjiro. Goten kept flying. Ignoring him. Tanjiro yells again. "GET BACK HERE KID"! Tanjiro jumps really high. Getting Goten and bringing him down to the ground. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. I SEE A STRANGE BLACK HOLE OPEN UP AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I'M HERE!" "Please let me go! I just need to get to my mother!" Cried Goten. Tanjiro let's go of Goten and stood there in silence for a few seconds. "Sorry kid. Go get to your mother." Said Tanjiro calmly. As Goten was about to fly away he told Tanjiro directions to Capsule Corp and who to ask. "If you want to know what's going on. Go to Capsule Corp. Keep going straight and you'll be in a city. Look for a circle building. Okay." "Thanks. NOW GO!" As Tanjiro is heading towards the city he sees multiples rifts. He acknowledges them for a few seconds but he keeps heading for Capsule Corp. "I think I see a city." Said Tanjiro in his head. As Tanjiro arrives in the city. He sees a lot of chaos and destruction. But he also sees a dome protecting a building. "Is that shield protecting a building." Tanjiro jumps to Capsule Corp but he bumps into the shield really hard. He slowly falls off the shield to the ground. As he's getting up, Goku instant transmissions to Tanjiro. Goku tells Tanjiro. "Grab my hand. That we can get inside." Tanjiro grabs Goku's hand. Soon as Goku instant transmissions him and Tanjiro, Vegeta comes charging at Tanjiro. Vegeta shouts. "YOU BETTER HAVE ANSWERS. YOU SON OF A BITCH." Tanjiro panicks. But Goku stops Vegeta from doing anything to Tanjiro. "Vegeta calm down." "WHY? HE'S PROBABLY THE ONE BEHIND ALL OF THIS. LOOK AT HIM!" Tanjiro stood there with a confused face. "He does look like he's from another universe?" "EXACTLY!" As there's commotion going on. Bulma walks into the room. Getting ready to yell but Tanjiro finally explains himself. "I'm from another universe okay. A black hole appeared. So I just walked right into it. That was a stupid mistake." Bulma stands there, shocked and confused. "Does anyone else think Trunks did this. After all, he does like messing with time. Hehehehe." Said Goku. "Trunks promised me he wouldn't mess with the timeline!" "But how could he have messed with other universes and cause all these Rifts. Someone else probably caused all of this." Said Bulma. "Yeah no doubt." Said Goku. "I hate to interrupt but how will I get back to my universe?" Asked Tanjiro. "I don't know? In the mean time stay in this universe." Said Bulma. "I CAN'T STAY HERE! PEOPLE NEED ME!" Yelled Tanjiro. "WELL YOU MOST CERTAINLY CAN'T GO OUT THERE! NOW CAN YOU?" Yelled Bulma. "WAIT GOTEN!" Shouted Goku. "I CAN'T GET A SENSE OF HIS ENERGY! HE'S PROBABLY IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE! DAMNIIIIT!" A couple of hours earlier "Mom I hope your okay. I'm coming." Said Goten in his head. Goten sees a lot of rifts open up but doesn't acknowledge them liked Tanjiro did. Goten just kept pushing. Finally, he arrives at his house but to see it half destroyed. Goten worries that his mom is dead but to his surprised she's not. Goten here's her screaming our for help. "MOM! I'M COMING." As Goten heads for his mom a right rift appears right in front of him. Taking him to another universe. Just to say that this is Chapter 1 and 2. I think there will be 5 or 6 Chapters. I just wanted to see how other people like it.

Ohayo mina! Can someone give us a unpopular anime to watch? Please and thank you ^ - ^

[She/her] I've been an anime fan since I was 15! Only when I turned 24 was I confident enough to watch anime infront of my parents pfft. I despise Harems but if the story is good enough then I might just overlook it...sike... anime school harems need to die out yesterday! I am a passionate hater of "The irregular at magical Highschool" I will never pass the chance to throw that anime in the trash, take it out, grind it in old banana slush then flush it down the toilet! I dont care if they're not blood related that shet was nasty! shutting his brain off just coz he saw her in her underwear, which was completely her fault btw, is NOT CUTE! what a complete waste of an action anime I got carried away and pressed the wrong button! someone tell me how to delete a forum! oh and NICE TO MEET YALL! I'm learning Japanese for fun before I move on to Korean anyone wanna gimme tips on how to do that more efficiently? ooooooooo it merges?! noice!!! if only they could allow me to edit hmph!

Looking for good reccomendations like Sword Art Online. I've already seen Bofuri [I Don't Wanna Get Hurt So I'll Max Out My Defense]

If anyone ever read CCS clear card manga till the latest chapter, I wanna ask about Toya.. There is a spoiler here.. so those who doesnt like spoiler please dont read it and just skip to the question..... Now my question is who do you think that give the barrier in sakura's house in CCS clear card so kaito become hard to attack sakura? Who also take out the spell in Syaoran's body? Is it Toya with his new power? Or maybe Sakura's father with the help of her mom's spirit? Or is it Eriol but kind of impossible since Eriol is also sick and little bit weaker right?? or it'ss just kaito being weaker and gonna die each day... Idk.. Im really confused now... lol what do you think guys?

In the last blog post I showed what the main characters will look like. After designing the main characters, I designed one more character. Since I already finished the script for chapter 1, I know what characters are needed for the debut chapter. So I realized I needed to design Atsuko. She is the clan's best geisha a very promising prospect with the potential to become the best geisha in the country. I wanted her to look cool and even a bit masculine. A cool chick. She is also always smiling because of how confident she is in her abilities. Now after figuring out how the characters will look, I needed to know how their bodies will look like. So I started designing their clothes. I mainly focused on chapter one. There are more clothes to design and characters to design but I decided to just think of the first chapter. I'm no fashion designer but this is what I came up with. It's based on traditional Japanese costumes. This is what a Head Geisha will wear. Head Geishas are like the principals of a school. They are in charge of everything. They start a Geisha school and they train them. This is what Maikas will wear or "Geishas-in-training". Similar to students in school. After designing the clothes, I did a trial drawing. Combining what the character looks like and the clothes they will be wearing. Here's the main character Yumi. Her magic is fire related. She can generate fire from her hands and use that to fight. Here's Atsuko. Yumi's classmate who is the best student in their school. Her magic is ice. She also generates ice from her hands and uses it to fight. I also made the storyboard for chapter one. A storyboard is like a blueprint to how something will appear. Engineers use blueprints to build machines and artists use storyboards to build creative things. And that's everything I've got so far. I got my storyboard done so I can now start drawing for chapter one. That's very exciting. Thanks for reading. Take care!

I’m almost done writing the story. Well almost, almost is the key word there. Just a little bit more and I can finally start drawing. I cannot show you what I’ve written so far because it will contain spoilers. And I do want you to read this webtoon someday. But I want to share with you a cool tool I just discovered. It’s a map generator. Now I know they exist but it’s the first time I actually used one. It’s called Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator. And it’s perfect if you’re writing a fantasy story. Like me. Especially for world building. So you can better imagine your fantasy world. Every time you refresh the page it comes up with a new random map. It even comes up with names if you’re too lazy to think of some. Clicking on a place name will get you more information that has been randomly generated for you. And of course you can change it to your liking. You can pan around to check out the map. And the most important part, you can save this map so you can edit it later. Because remember, once you close this tab your map is gone and a new random map will be generated. All in all I found this tool really useful in writing my story. And I hope it can help you out too. Comment below what you think of Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator. Or what tools you use to make your writing easier. I’m going back to writing now.

Way back in 2002 I was playing a game called "Battle Realms". I liked that game so much that I would skip school for half a day just to play. It was that fun for me. I also liked the eastern Japan feudal period it was in. It looks so beautiful. The architecture, the forests, the way the characters looked. Me and my friends were also making manga at that time. We were amateurs and it was just a bunch of nerds that thought making our own manga would be pretty cool. And I needed a story. So I wrote one taking inspiration from Battle Realms. Thankfully, it was somewhat original and not just a blatant rip-off. Which is common if you're young and a fan of something. I also played "Throne of Darkness" and "Divine Divinity" during that period. So I guess I got some elements from those games as well. I like the story of Throne of Darkness even if it was a very simple one. And I like the seven samurais too. And of course the demons that you fought were awesome. Again, it was set in feudal Japan. For Divine Divinity I only took inspiration from the PDF file that came with the game. I think it was the prequel story or background story. But it wasn’t the game itself. It was still a good game though. We were actually able to make one chapter of this story. The first and last one. I called it “Terra Firma.” Which is a terrible name in hindsight. It’s 2021 now and I’m dusting the story off to bring it back. It’s basically an 18-year old story. Which is crazy. I also thought it would be a good idea to post this on Reddit to see how webtoon readers would feel about it. This takes a lot of guts because you never know what people will say. Not recommended for people with thin skin. It didn’t get much attention to be honest, only one person commented saying it sounds so cliche but would still read it. That’s actually a good sign because it means this story has potential. It sounds cliche for now but still interesting enough if done right. I also set up a poll for users who don’t want to comment but still want to help. You know, those silent lurkers. And it got three votes. Three not four because I voted on my own poll. That was the only way you can see the results early in Reddit. I know it sounds weird and I think Reddit should fix that. Two users found this story interesting and one user chose to pass on this one. So 66% of webtoon readers might be interested in a story like this. And that was good enough for me to give it a go. I’ve always wanted to finish this story. I never got the chance 18 years ago but I have the chance now. I feel like I owe it to the younger me to get it done. There you have it. That’s where I got my webtoon idea, from video games. From 18 years ago. Games are not a bad idea to get weapons ideas from. Let me know in the comments below, where do you get your ideas from?

I wrote where I got my webtoon idea from in the last blog post. You can read that first before reading this one. We can start expanding this idea into a full story. It’s time to write! Writing is really hard. It’s harder than drawing to be honest. It’s so hard that a lot of webtoon creators actually skip it. They go straight to drawing instead. They do a very rough draft of their story and go directly to the fun part of making a webtoon. Which is drawing. And that is why you get Anime, TV shows, or games that have crappy endings. Because the story was a second priority. It was just made along the way. However, it’s not practical to write a complete novel before you even start designing your characters. That is too extreme. I think it’s best to be in the middle where you have the story done. It’s complete but not set in stone. You can make changes along the way. But you already know how it will go and even know the ending. I am using a Microsoft Word template to do that. It works by asking me questions that will help form the story. I will have a complete story once I answer all the questions. I made this template by combining things I learned from using Storyweaver and Dramatica which are very old software. I used them in the past and I thought it was pretty cool that they helped you construct a solid story. You will eventually hit a writer’s block where you run out of ideas. It happens to everyone so don’t worry about it. What I did was I went to You Tube to do research. I searched for Japanese mythology or Japanese legends and watched a lot of videos. I also used a Japanese name generator for my characters. This saves me time of having to brainstorm them names. Unless a character needs to be named something specific. And here’s the first version of the synopsis. This is just the first version and can change over time. Let me know in the comments below what you think. Is it too cliche? And do you have any suggestions to make it better?

Who Would win ! Jonathan Joestar vs Eren?

Hello all, Here's a general discussion on who you think is the best/fav Akatsuki memeber. Kisame is mine. Its really too bad Samehada likes octopus though...

So they released the new PV annoucnign that shaman king will be getting a reboot, like FMA brotherhood style, and I for one am super excited especially I grew up with this anime and even read the manga, and the manga is absolutely amazing, so i was hoping others like me are also excited that shaman king is getting a new chance at showing what kind of anime it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyzqCA8aVSo

I watched Black butler near 20 episode it was awesome but I'm really confuse as I sadly come across a spoiler that Sebastian will be dead and some people as that manga and anime are different hope you guys help it

What do you guys think a 3D Open world Mega Man game would look like? Just imagine you're in the year 20XX, the X series hasn't been created yet(though that doesn't mean that and the powers inthat game can't be refered to in some way) and the world is essentially an Ecumenopolis, a planet wide city. You still have robot masters to defeat and a whole world to explore. What would the game play be like? I wanna stay away from the whole amnesia trope that BOTW has to elicit a feeling of discovery but I still want discovery to be a huge aspect of the game. My thoughts are that Mega Man has the ability to take on 3-4 job classes at once. And by job classes I mean the powers bestowed onto Rock by either defeating robot masters or scanning their data. Rock would essentially work as a hands on Civil Servant. He takes on jobs like Kitty Wrangler, Volunteer Firefighter(Aqua Man Abilities), Mover/ Construction worker(Guts Man abilities). Each power has 3-4 different types of uses and allows him to either traverse the world around him in interesting ways or let him deal with obstacles in the way like with Gutsman's carrying powers. He was just created in this world and is the "first" of his kind that can have multiple abilities like this, not knowing Proto Man was already created. but Rock and Roll are the two parts of Proto Man that needed to be separated in order to not have insubordination. Essentially Rock would have the powers and the more obedient mind to carry our orders while Roll would have the super intelligence to coordinate Rock externally much like you see in The Oracle from the Batman series/comics or Futaba in Persona 5. Whats the mystery though? I could just have it be character driven like why both programs in Proto Man couldn't run simultaneously and ended up corrupting him but it can also maybe refer to the world illustrate how the sigma virus started? I also want the world to have a bit of discovery elements to it and maybe through the different aspects of the world, you realize that combinations in programming cause the robots to malfunction and it's your job to fix it or make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe there's a scrap pile for all of the thrown out robots and you can get weirdly "cronenberg-y" with it with Robots tryin to assemble and create deformed looking versions of themselves. Maybe in a less horror note, the robots have found a sanctuary that allows them to be away from the busy bustling life of humans and have learned to live amongst nature like the so called murder robots in Laputa Castle in the Sky. How would Rock deal with that and is that enough for the sense of discovery? How would one in this type of setting get the BOTW sense of discovery though? I'm curious about your thoughts.

Anybody familiar with a character called Ougun Bat or Golden Bat? This character was a skullfaced superhero who made his debut in 1931, 8 years before Superman and the start of the Golden Age of Superhero comics, here's a video I found that goes into detail on the character as well as discuss the character's influence not just on Anime and Manga but on Tokusatsu superheroes as well. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6ExePeYkGwA&t=8s Video on Golden Bat

I'm looking an anime like oban star-races, space dandy , kekkai sensen and redline, with a lot of cool species, if you know any please tell me. *I've alredy watched pokemon and digimon*

What are your thoughts on No Game No Life, will there be a season 2?

Hello everyone, today I’ll be reviewing episode one of Sword Art Online. Let’s do this, shall we? As soon as it starts, within the first 20 seconds, I am HOOKED, and I can tell I will enjoy this. Unlike One Piece, I really like the art style of this. I guess I’m just into this sort of thing. Seriously, by the time the dude has fired up his RP headset, I’m shaking with excitement. The concept, the art style, the characters, it’s all awesome. For some reason, other VRV users have so many negative comments. Stuff like “this is trash.” And “why am I rewatching this sucky show? Guess I’m that bored...” Then again, VRV users always have something negative to say, regardless of how good a show is. A bit later on, and I’m really starting to like Kirito. He’s really nice, although something’s a bit... off about him. I’m really hoping quarantine makes humanity design some sort of huge game like SAO. It doesn’t have to be exactly the same, but it’ll still be awesome. Hopefully, they don’t trap us in this real-world version, though! Honestly, the reveal of Kayaba wasn’t a surprise to me at all. If them not being able to logout really was a bug, the writers would have missed an awesome chance. Plus, the whole story is centered around them being trapped in Aincrad. Klein getting left behind by Kirito is a bit devastating, but I’m sure we’ll see him again. I hope they’re a ship, since I always love LGBTQ+ representation in my fandoms. (Plus, cause I just love their dynamic.) Overall, even if it was a bit predictable, it was really good. So many elements added to the enjoyableness of it. I’ll give this episode 5 out of 5 stars. See you next week for episode two!

Hi, just testing the waters here to see how popular this forum really is but I would really hate leaving my post without replies for days if nobody knows this short lived anime. I want anime fans to be aware of the shows I discovered so one day they'll expect future projects from me based on the shows I talked about here and since some of these shows might be too taboo for the family friendly community out there, Im also working on a clean cut/edited version where adult anime shows can be easy and safe to watch without worrying the taboo parts lol. Anyways, I want to get down to the anime I wanted to discuss and show off screenshots here if nobody minds! Adult anime are not my favorite type of shows but they have a very interesting lore that could have made them more famous or a potential future if the writers concerned the family audience instead of targeting adults back then. To some people especially Americans who might have seen this before and thought it was just a 90's series but I can bet that many English viewers might not be aware of the fact this show once started life as a 4 volume comic series in the late 80's! Since the original comics was never released here in English, nobody knows at least the American fans won't have any idea how the original story turned out because the anime adaption itself was a very poor adaptation! it's a Horrible shame for this story that could have seen better success if not for the unnecessary nasty content that made Maya known infamous for and the likely reason why it was quickly forgotten after the 2 episode anime and the 4 comics. Maya is 18 years old who got tricked by a mysterious fortune teller, he tricked her into looking at the crystal ball that fool people thinking he's an ordinary fortune teller but "UNFORTUNATELY" (pun lol) he's not and now she end up in another planet probably a lot of people don't know about! Maya is like a combination between She-Ra and Prince Adam where she starts out as a plain and simple young woman who might be still in her late school years or just in time ready for graduate, she eventually becomes the "Most powerful woman in the universe" (another pun lmao) when she finds that mysterious sword she pulled out after getting herself sucked in by a magical portal inside the bad guy's castle, beats me why in the heck would it be locked inside awaiting for the hero while she was held prisoner there? This is one of those scenes that will continue to confuse us for years to come! since we won't know anyway lol. Here some screenshots of Maya's cool transformation! Does her look scream out She-Ra or He-Man to all of us fans here? lol. But Maya is not the only character in the show, of course! Here the others below I want to introduce to the community of today's anime era of the most forgotten adult anime characters in the 80's comic and the 90's anime adaption! Heckle and Jaeckle are named after 2 very old cartoon characters Heckle and Jeckle better known in the West long time ago. Heckle and Jaeckle are not birds but frog-looking folks who acted like couple of perverts working for the evil slave king at first until after they sold Maya for 5 million, she was later taken hostage inside the castle and they rescued her, eventually becoming her helpful partners but not very long when when they somehow got lost in the woods and she was taken again. They're not much of a fighter but least one appeared to be armed with a axe. Leyna, one of my favorites! She works inside the castle of the bad guys where she constantly cook to fed slaves held in the castle, she becomes fast friends with Maya and even has the key to escape! But they didn't make it (TOO BAD! game over lmao) Not much is known about her other than working for the villains even if she has no evil intentions, she does appear to be likely another slave sold to them but instead cooking and not tied up in chains or torture chairs lmao. In the comic, she stayed in the castle while Maya successfully escaped. I don't know her name, she always appear very short and briefly through the episodes, where she seem to act as a spy! What is her background story and how in the hell does she know Maya prior to the current events? The mysterious fortune teller! Nothing else known about him other than the fact that Heckle calls those people sorcerers, they pick up people from Earth and teleport them to the mysterious planet possibly working for the evil king to bring down more slaves from Earth to sell! I don't know his name but doesn't look like Marth or Ike? He is also searching for Maya for whatever reason. He doesn't seem to be evil and more likely from Earth or another planet! Again, its a mystery how he knows Maya prior to the current event! "Roys our boys!" lmao XD Below are some of the unknown bad guys! More pics to come later! About the anime, this was only released in adult stores on VHS and DVD, a very rare thing to find across Texas unless you live in rich areas like maybe California or Florida but Im not sure about New York or Washington since I never been to those states. I censored the box in case the community is sensitive about adult content here and I understand that. This is called Cool Devices, it was out during late 90's and only dubbed in America, it was officially banned in Canada which means nobody knows or even aware of Maya there! Canada has this very weird thing about banning adult content anime or adult shows which makes me wonder how Canadians manage to live without hentai or adult videos there, guess its a sexual free society there or the fact maybe most Canadians are asexual? Or maybe adult anime was banned there to avoid confusion children for cartoons? Who knows the laws of Canada there lol. The VHS version includes 2 episodes and 1 episode of the famous Kite! This short would be the first of the Kite series and it later gets its own full length anime movie few years, making it the most popular short of the Cool Devices! The others went long forgotten and down to obscurity with only few of the other Cool Device stories getting their own comics or anime. Here some covers of the original comics that never saw release outside Japan! I think they were released around 1989 or 1988? The comics are very hard to find as only few of them can be found online on ebay but they're fairly common on Yahoo Japan auctions. One more thing, is a screenshot of the sword! Looks like the Falcion from the popular Fire Emblem games does it? lol. Thats all for now but look forward to more Maya posts in the near future from me!

I joined this forum a couple weeks ago and I've been trying to submit information to those with questions regarding an anime they saw in the past (Recommendations Section). If you saw something in the early 2000's or 90's...post your question if you're looking for the name of or information regarding an older anime in the Recommendations section. I'll try to answer this week or next week if I recognize the title. Even if I don't recognize your description entirely; I can still try to point you in the right direction. If you posted 'looking for...' context in Recommendations; check to see if I haven't already written an answer. I joined Anime Forums to help people find or rediscover classic anime. I know over 300 classic titles by memory and have knowledge of some rarities which never made it out of Japan. If it's regarding manga, though...I'm not quite as helpful (I never read manga quite like I watch anime). Advise is free...take it ✌
