Use code ERUPTION130 to get $130 off Factor at <a href="https://bit.ly/3xQcfXu">https://bit.ly/3xQcfXu</a>! HELLO! IT IS ME. This week (as in 7 days from the time this comment was typed) I released nearly 80 minutes of scripted videos between this and Metal Gear Survive. I am a tired man, but I truly hope y'all enjoy this! This topic is weird as heck, and if you wanna see me do more things like this, consider checking out the sponsors or my personal things as well! Or of course, just keep watching. I can't thank y'all enough, your support means the world to me. ANYWAYS. Know any other games like this? Would Love to have more nonsense to toss my friends ways.

A minor error here that I just found really funny: While Inspector Gadget was created by two Frenchmen and an American, it was largely animated by TMS Entertainment, one of the oldest anime studios in Japan. :P

X-Blades actually has a minor cult following in Japan, mostly (or, almost certainly entirely ) because over there the main character was dubbed by Rie Kugimiya, a very popular Japanese voice actress.

Fun fact, at the time of its hype building press pieces before release, Oni's devs were making a big deal about getting actual architects to do the level design. They ended up showing why that's not a necessarily a good thing.

My elderly primary school teacher actually introduced me to manga with those same fake manga books in this video because I love to draw in the class. She likes drawing such inspired styles sometimes.

Loving the "How to Draw Manga" cover in the thumbnail, I remember buying that book at the Scholastic Book Fair in elementary school...

Since we're talking about "fake anime", Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is an underrated gem, and I won't hear otherwise.

Good lord I forgot about Oni. I begged my mom to get that game for months until she finally did for my birthday.....only for young me to have his first disappointing education in computer hardware and how our brick of a computer was in no way able to play it.

I have a soft spot for Sudeki and knew it would make an appearance. A fun fact is that the "trying and not really succeeding to present the game as authentically Japanese" thing goes right down to the title in that one. "Suteki" in Japanese means wonderful or amazing, and one of the devs confessed later that that was what they were going for, but a mistake was made somewhere along the line and they wound up going with a misspelling instead. That error feels like such a beautiful, perfect encapsulation of the era and the rush to present products as "anime" irrespective of whether or not it was a good idea.

I remember getting SHOGO free with a video card.  I also remember being disappointed that it never got a follow-up, because honestly, I enjoyed the game a great deal, and the character models never really bothered me.

Megas XLR was amazing and had so many references from Robotech to Voltron to Sailor moon. One episode the main character have an Evil twin character from a different dimension who had a version of the Sazabi from Gundam. I could go on and on about the references but this show should have had more seasons. It was made because of a fan vote and was pitched at a con after a few minute trailer was made on a VHS.
