OC Anchor.

This one stings.

Another boy.

>>135956
love me them Dune homages

So is he anime?

Now I find myself in Germany, which means that now the writers and editors have to censore everything or else we would be in so much legal trouble with angry parents. It seems I am against another legendary anime character with golden yellow hair. Listen shorty, as much as I like that hair of yours, only one of us can enter the Top 10! So get ready for illogical battle of your like! Time to wig out y'all!!!

This one hurts. Edward Elric is my favorite anime character of all time.

Heh... Guess that's what I get for bein' cocky... I knew this guy was a powerhouse from the start... But it wouldn't be the Kuwabara way not to challenge him at least.

Looks like Yusuke and Kurama got the shit beaten out of 'em too... Hey, vampire dude! I'd be super pissed off if you lost after now after taking me out! So make it count, dammit, y'hear me?

>>135963
Hi, do you know any car repair shop around here? It seems like they only service old German cars around here. I broke my suspension while trying to find my contestant earlier.

Bobobo's a pretty funny show but...

I don't believe it; I defeated that scary demon! Hooray, I knew that having a believing heart will save me in the end. Now it's time to defeat this giant robot and make my way to the quarter round...

>>135964
Rest well. I will continue.

>>135971
Wait a second! That ain't no anime pretty boy! That's an alligator!! Which means, I can turn you into a handbag no problem!! Alright time to introduce everyone here to some fine Cajun cooking!

>>135973

>>135973
kys

>>135972

...a giant robot?! How am I going to destroy that?

>>135973

How you feeling this time around boys, this is a tough one.
I'm going with
>Kaneda. Hurts not to vote for Lupin with all of the campaigning for him, but Akira is a super personal movie to me I'll cherish forever. I met Josh Seth at a convention and he was super nice, and I received the news of my dad's death while watching the movie with my brother. I can never forget it for that reason
>Piccolo. Coolest dude in DragonBall, just an absolute classic icon. If he outright won I'd totally get it.
>Guts. Berserk is my favorite manga ever, Guts is my favorite in the running anyway so it really wouldn't matter who is against him.
>Dark Yugi. Could go either way here, but I have seen a lot of funny Yugi posts here that aren't just /v/ getshit.
>Kenshiro. Probably the hardest choice to make, I do like the Yotsuba manga but man, Kenshiro just feels right for how classic and influential FOTNS is.
>Shinji. Love NGE and End of Evangelion. Shinji was a great way to do a flawed protagonist that's definitely a scumbag, but still someone you can have some sympathy for. Haven't seen Little Witch Academia anyway.
>D. Great campaigning and the Bloodlust OVA is one of the coolest things ever put on screen. That guy that would edge himself on dying to kill monsters as a ghost was unbelievably cool I have the original OVA on steelbook as well. Bloodlust is definitely better, but I honestly love sovlful grimdark 80's shit
>Bobobo. The other hardest choice to make, because I love personally love both here. I gotta give it to the Bobobo campaign though, it's been highly entertaining.

>Oberstein: Kakka, it would be wise to cancel this police action. If it continues, it will look unjustified and damage your legitimacy.
>Reinhard: ...I will cancel it. Order the second and third groupings of our fleet to depart the solar system. In the mean time, we will begin to act as observers for that Black Swordsman.
>Oberstein: Understood.
>Reinhard: Now, where is that scientist Senku and Phosphophyllite?

>>135986
well let's hope to finds where he's supposed to be

Hey, mister! I'm doing a "turned mint" just like you! You wanna play a game? I heard some people are fighting, but my Daddy says it's rude to fight!

It would've been cool though, if only the bracket...

Has Lord led me here to encounter a brother in mind? I've heard much of your demon-slaying endeavors. You are quite an admirable young man. Maybe even the first person I've seen her I could call... "a hero".

>>135984
>>135977
Never thought I would be having both Shrimp and Gator tonight. Well time for you to get in the frying pan and then I'll get started on those Tater Tots! Tater Tots! Tator Tots! We want Tater Tots!

>>136002
>D
>Show
He's actualy a japanese novel adapted character. Only other one until last round was Reinhard I think. He holds one of the best looking aninated movies of all time under his belt (and i personally think the writing is great too) and an old drug trip 1980s one. Adapted from the 3rd and 1st novels respectively.
There's also a great looking manga that got storytimed on /a/ recently.
Supposedly they were going to be making a series but it became radio static for like 3 years at this point.
Also he's pretty cool.

>Kaiji, after gaming the business of pro wrestling, comes to realize he's up against his toughest challenge yet.
AAAIIIIIIEE everyone's already counting me out in favor of the green guy! Got to think hard about this one. I'll have to find a way to ascend...
>Kaiji, subverting the long road of training, instead begins to familiarize himself with the tropes of Dragon Ball...
C-can it be as simple as this...?

>>135908
Thank you Misato. I couldn't have done it without you. Also couldn't have done it without Edgeworth now that I think about it. He really helped took Inuyasha by surprise. Hope he doesn't go too hard on em.
>>135972
>>135983
Oh, hey. How are you doing? It's nice to see another girl my age here. Do we really have to fight? I rather we don't.

Might as well discuss Akira now that Kaneda's in R4 and I don't want him to be entirely silent. I love the 2001 dub but I also think the Streamline dub is pretty good for an 80s production. Cam Clarke is underrated as Kaneda.
#Akira Opening Bike Sequence HD - Original English Dub
Akira Tetsuo vs Kaneda (1988 English Dubbing)
Yes, that's the guy who voiced Leisure Suit Larry (Jan Rabson) as Tetsuo. There's prime campaigning material for Villains.

All this talk about predator this, predator that; Lupin happens to be something of a predator himself, a predator whose prey is Fujiko!

Mob! This match has gone south you need to run. I'll handle this it's my duty as an adult in this situation!

BWEEEEEEEEEH

>>135966
Oh sorry I don't speak Spanish. Anyways sorry for ignoring you, you want some if this fine gumbo I am working on too?

>>136013
Of course, just because he's a feral beast when it comes to hotties like Fujicakes, it isn't to say he isn't quite the gentleman when it comes to protecting innocent girls in need of a HERO!

>>136014
>D's Left Hand: Is the old man going to take the boy's place? I guess you can stop being as gentle then.
>D: ...Incapacitation is all that's needed.
>D's Left Hand: You know the circumstance- That it doesn't matter, ri-*clench*

>>136016
Well, uh... I do need something to do while the pick-up truck is making its way here. Sure.

>>136011

Huh? Aren't you going to unleash your giant robot on me?

>>135977
>>135971
>Hahahahaha! Gee, Ed, that face you made sure has been going around a lot lately!
That's one way to put it...geez, I look so...what's the word..."animated." Anyways, let's go, Alphonse. We gotta take care of this guy. Huh, he looks pretty strong, but also goofy.
>Yeah! Blonde afro, long nose hair. And you think YOU'RE animated!

>>136015
At least she won Saimoe 2006...

>>136015

Ah, your tears are so sweet desu~

Yotsuba sliding to the next round

>>135964
Actually, I didn't fight anyone. I just asked to be disqualified because I got bored and so that you two wouldn't feel bad. I hope that man will find a way to the tournament grounds this round...

>>136021
Hey, aren't you a bit too old to be talking with imaginary friends? Also, what's with the get-up? Are you trying to hunt Dracula?

>>136035
>D's Left Hand: I am not imaginary! I'm fused to his hand!
>D: My father...

>>136025
>>136022
Hey look there's our Shrimp Gator Gumbo. It looks like he brought an oven with him! Alright. Time to cook me some Tater Tots. Alright y'all time to give your Bo-bobo's Tator Tot recipe! First you get a bag of tator tots and put them in a thin sheet pan. You don't want it too thin otherwise you'll burn them. Then you put 'em in the oven in 400 degrees Fahrenheit... huh? Gyaaaaaaaaah!! There's over 400 pedigrees of cats in here!! What the heck kind of oven is this!?!?

>>136023
I mean, I could but... I don't want to? I rather get to know you if anything.

>>136039
R-really? Guess this is why dad never makes his tofu outside. Would be nice to have some pedestrian customers...

>>136037
Ah, you must be one of those guys that are too into cosplay and ventriloquism, but weird hobbies aside, don't you think you should be doing something else than fighting for a popularity contest against a kid?

>>135973
>all those replies
Struck a nerve?

>>136043
>he uses anime reaction images which is 4cuck culture
Pathetic. Now look what a good reaction image actually looks like.

Oh you know what? Fuck it! I don't need the approval of a bunch of weebs to prove how badass I am. At least I'm freed from that deranged prosecutor and Shinji's existential crisis for once!
>DOWN
OH SHIII-

I flipped a coin on half of these.
But I am not going to tell you who I voted for.

>>136039
Sorry to break it to you, but this is no cooking, this is alchemy!
>I dunno Ed, technically you're cooking stuff up with alchemy. Hey! How about a cook-off? Culinary vs. Alchemy! We haven't had to fight much yet, why start now?
Well, Alphonse, things are getting tense, with the elite business and all. But if our cartoonish friend here supports your idea, I guess we could try it. But he seems insistent on a fight. What say you, Mr....Bonobozo, was it?

>>136047
leave the /a/ tournament now

>>136042
>D: I only fight if I'm given the challenge. Else, this is harmless.
>D's Left Hand: You must be wanting to spare the kid from spite, isn't that right, D?

>>136050
My votes aren't what you expect though so I'm just going to tell you if all of them win.

>>136028
...Ehehehe *sniff* desu... You failed hundreds of steps before Suiseiseki desu! N-no-show to round 1 desu! N-now get lost before Bakgaston gets here...

>>136040

Okay, I'm Akko Kagami, and I'm going to be the greatest witch ever. How's that?

>>136054
I'm glad we're on equal ground. I'm Reigen Arataka, the greatest psychic of the 21st century. Also, could you stop with that ventriloquist stuff you're doing with your left hand? It's getting really creepy.

>whistles innocently

>>136060
>D's Left Hand: I am my own, human. And I don't look that creepy, now do I?

>>136066
Holy crap! Don't point that thing at me!
Purifying salt punch!
>This is one of Reigen's special attacks where he punches his enemy with his fist covered in table salt!

>>136052
You may call me that Erdrick, but I'd rather fight the classic flashy anime way, behold my Righteous Fist of Fury!!! Hrrrrrrrrrrgh!! Super Fist of the Armpit Chop Attack!!! Wait a minute.... you don't have an armpit!! Oh no! How can I attack someone that technique if they don't have an armpit!! My attack is ruined!!!

>>136069
>WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRR

On the topic of Lupin and Fujiko I really like their relationship, like for example in this clip you can see even though it's not explicitly pointed out for the viewer, Lupin trusts so much that Fujiko genuinely loves him, despite the countless times she's betrayed him, that he'll turn his back to a gun knowing she'd rather kill her former partner than let Lupin die. It's a very nuanced relationship that has a lot more layers outside of the surface level of "lupin lusts after fujiko and she betrays him" which is why I like it a lot, I think Mystery of Mamo and Part 5 in particular did a really good job portraying it.
Also vote for Lupin

>>136071
Did you put an industrial-grade leaf blower in your hand or something? Could you turn that thing off, please? I don't want this suit ruined. I had it dry-cleaned.

>>136058
I'm Shinji, Shinji Ikari. I'm an EVA pilot, I fight giant monsters and all that. I've never seen a witch before that's so cool! What kind of witch powers can you do?

Alright, who's this Yamcha wannabe? He sure looks a lot like him.
>N: He looks like with but with a big nose
Something tells me he must be argentinian
>K: Hey, that's extremely racist. I'll have to stop you right there
I just made a comparison Kami, no need to overwork yourself
>N: That still sounded bad, man
Whatever, all of my opponents so far don't even dare to challenge me in person. I have more fun fighting myself. Speaking of which...

>>135948
Forgot to mention it but thanks a lot for the fanart. If you're still around that is
>N: I'm not pleased at all looking at this
>K: Yes, he forgot about us
You both are inside my head, that's giving you two enough credit just like I'm letting you to live in there

>>136074

I have this wand called the Shiny Rod. It belonged to a really cool witch that I like very much. I'm so glad to have this and now I'm going to be as strong as her.

>>136075
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just ~whistle~ passing by here, not planning ~whistle~ to bother anybody. I'm just here to have a smoke, ~whistle~, play some games, ~whistle~, win some prize money, ~whistle~, have a good time.

Life is, ~whistle~, all about enjoying yourself, right? If you're not enjoying yourself, ~whistle~, what's the point? Like if there was ~whistle~, some extreme irritation in your way, wouldn't you want to walk away and do ~whistle~ something else? That's my ~whistle~ philosophy...

~whistle~ ~whistle~ ~whistle~

Is Shotaro acquainted with sharp objects? Lupin can familiarize him, if he would like

I have eaten every single loser so far!

>>136080
>I have-ACK!
Unqualified jobbers not allowed.

>>136077
That's a very cool looking wand. This cool witch must've been a really special person to you. I had someone special to me too, her name was Misato. I never would've gotten this far without her support. Too bad she's... Not here anymore. Still, I'm trying to win this for her, and for me.

>>136078
Nope, not this time. I know your game. That isn't gonna work on me. I came prepared for that the only thing I hear are the voices in my head
>N: The voices have names you know
Shut up voice #1
>K: So that makes me number two, I guess?
Correct.

>>136077
Shiny? Oh, I do like shiny things very much myself! So glad to have it? I would be too!
But then, you're an innocent little maiden, aren't you? No no no, stealing from you wouldn't sit right with my conscience at all.
Tell you what, name the object of your desire and I'll snatch it for you in an instant! In exchange all I ask is that you turn a rock or two into gold for me; I mean you ARE a witch, right? I'm sure you can pull that much off.

Lupin's plans always go without a hitch! Usually. Sometimes.

All this Lupin talk reminded me that the franchise's first exposure in the US (and Miyazaki I think) was a Dragon's Lair clone for the arcades called "Cliff Hanger" that uses Castle of Cagliostro and Mystery of Mamo footage. They didn't bother dubbing over the Japanese grunts lol.
Cliff Hanger (クリフハンガー) 1983 Arcade Lasergame [HD]

>>136095
Another tidbit, the name "Cliff Hanger" wasn't something Stern Electronics made up to differentiate it from Lupin III to sell to Americans, it was actually a title change TMS made for countries where the Arsene Lupin stories weren't public domain yet (same reason why Lupin is sometimes referred to as "Wolf" or "Rupan" in some older dubs). It was never used for any US releases, but it was used for the Latin American dubs.

>>136099
For what it's worth, the game does have text prompts that at least clue you in on what you're supposed to do, but I think even adding glowing prompts would've been costly since they would have to edit the animation.
I just think this game's existence is funny because it came out during a time when Dragon's Lair was a smash hit and companies wanted to get in on the craze, but they couldn't afford Don Bluth-level animation so they imported anime that they thought could work well for an FMV game for dirt cheap because they didn't think the medium would properly catch on in America (this also happened with Galaxy Express 999 turning into Freedom Fighter/Escape From Cyber City). Little did they know is that not only Lupin III would become popular, but Hayao Miyazaki would go on to be the biggest anime director.

>>136086

Well good luck to you too; let's have a good clean match.

>>136092

Umm, I don't think I can do that.

>>136090
Hmm, yes, yes, voices in your head... I imagine that's quite an experience. But I heard /a/ isn't too accepting of mental disorders. You don't have a chance here at all. /v/ is much better at that. I visited during their tourneys last year, and boy, let me tell you, do they love schizos... So just some friendly advice, why don't you ditch this pointless tournament and try for the /v/ ones?

>>136095
Lupin also has the honor of having the first licensed Japanese game.
Arcade Game: Lupin 3 (1980 Taito)

With Lupin on the mind thanks to the tourney, I finally decided to watch Castle of Cagliostro. I just finished it about 15 minutes ago and HOLY SHIT THIS IS AN ACTUAL CONTENDER FOR THE BEST ANIMATED FILM!

The action, the humor, the tension, the sense of humanity in it all, the soundtrack. I'm almost fucking speechless. You can bet your ass I'm watching more Lupin III after this!

>>135950
Something and little more shrimple.

>>136113
>sparing a child
The REAL Kenshiro would never.

>>136122
What about kid Lupin? He's pretty cute I think

>>136122
>>136123
>the only females left are minors

I have an announcement to make I samefagged for some votes.

>>136127
Only two copies? You are like a baby, watch this

>>136127
>>136128
All of your sames belong to my belly!

>>136131

>>136073
>D: Apologies.
>The salt had been removed from this earth as the hand cushioned the blow.

>>136133
That's fine anyway. What could I do for you to let Mob and I pass to the next round? Maybe you'd like a spirit removed or a curse lifted?

>>136124
Speaking of Lupin Zero, I suggest giving it a watch to anyone who's into Lupin and hasn't seen it yet. They really nailed the charm of the early parts and made a really engaging overarching story as well, it's short but it was a huge breath of fresh air having some good Lupin again after how underwhelming Part 6 was.
And again, kid Lupin and Jigen are adorable (also I like how Jigen has a deep ass man voice as a kid since he's already chain smoking cigarettes)

>>136134
>D: Such won't be necessary. And furthermore, the passing is not up to me.
>D's Left Hand: If there was any curse, I'd be absorbing it in any case.

>>136136
Alright, you drive a tough bargain. How about I give you one of my amazing massages to let mob through? How does that sound? It'll be extremely rejuvenating. I'll even massage that face on your left hand.

>>136138
>D's Left Hand: Look, he's got a sense of humor! Come on, laugh a little!
>D: ...It's not possible. Who passes will be determined by them.

>>135950
Always bet on Piccolo. I wanted to also draw Kaiji looking at the card, shocked, but I don't have the time right now. Maybe later.

>>135950
Sorry, I couldn't resist such a cute ship. Would've loved to render this but I was just so busy today. Vote whoever you want I love them both so much. But if you really wanna know, I voted Shinji.

>Lupin
>Piccolo
>Guts
>Yugi
>Kenshiro
>Shinji
>D
>Bo-bobo

>>136148
Fine then I'll have to use my strongest technique in order for mob to gain votes! Graphic Exorcism!
>This is Reigen's special technique where he just uses photoshop to edit a photo

>>136161
>>135950
There! That should help out mob.
