Opening ceremony is about to air for us so I thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone's interested in talking about it here!
What sports are you interested in watching?
Just learned of the mascot, it's apparently a cap?
edit: glad to see Lady Gaga performing!
@The-Light-of-Shandora I'm a big zelda fan and would normally play anything with it, but Cadence is the one game that I think I would absolutely be horrible at. That and games like Metal Hellsinger and Hi-Fi Rush where rhythm is a mechanic.
Rhythm Heaven, Theatrhythm, Taiko, Ouendan. Check a video or two on a song you know. I hope you get to try sometime!
I picked up these sticks last year like a goof, I have no regrets.
@Robby Funnily now that you mention it, I feel like I tried it for both the PS2 and the Wii, and if not then it was likely the PS2 over the two. I didn't super hate and quit after initial impressions, but even now I think I have an odd tendency to be temporarily content with something and revisit games much much later (often it's the long RPGs though).
Drawing with the DS pen sounds just right, but that's a shame Okami-den didn't live up.
Anyone play the taiko games? Looks like new One Piece dlc got announced for Rhythm Festival, I didn't realize it made a lot of sense with the whole thing with the nika drums.
Game often goes on discount and Rhythm Festival feels like the best one so far in terms of song quantity.
The base game has a lot of One Piece songs:

And since you're probably into other anime too, there's a good chance there's a lot of other songs you're familiar with too. If you like rhythm games it's worth a try!
Watched the two episodes last night. It felt like I was watching a movie and I really enjoyed what I saw. I think they did a great job with adapting the wild expressions from the characters but I can see that some whiplashes in the heavier parts of the story can turn off some people.
I vaguely remember some of the earlier story beats but I'm going to make an effort to not reread the manga so I can go in surprised. Definitely going to follow this one weekly!
I saw this interview recently, I enjoyed it even though I didn't play Okami (I admittedly felt a tug to buy it though, I just remember being weirdly horrible with the brush)
Big recommend!
Whoa episode 1 premiere at AnimeNYC on August 24th! Damn you guys!!
Everyone go binge read and hit the daily 100 chapter limit like me https://www.viz.com/vizmanga/chapters/ranma
Someone was supposed to remind me that the anime already aired. Two episodes out!

Holy crap, I forgot about this, probably the highlight of my day when I saw the thread title. I thoroughly enjoyed david production's Urusei Yatsura and after watching the last episode, I pretty much wished for dp to do a Ranma remake too but I didn't bother to try searching for news until a few weeks ago!
The two differences I've noticed in the cast so far from the video are the two dads - Panda Dad is now voiced by Cho (Brook) and Tendo Dad is now voiced by Akio Otsuka (Blackbeard). I feared that there was a chance that some of the older folks wouldn't be able to reprise their roles, but it seems Genma's previous voice (Kenichi Ogata) is listed to be the narrator at least. The passing of some VAs in the Detective Conan anime recently was tough to swallow and looking up Genma/Agasa he's currently 82 years old.
So far it looks real clean, and it's MAPPA. Here's hoping for a great adaptation like Urusei Yatsura.
Ranma was Kappei Yamaguchi's breakout role wasn't it? Must be a crazy feeling to be able to revisit it after all this time!!
There was this. PV #2 and some cast member stuff. Demon Slayer Okarun, Turbo Granny Luffy and Serpo Zoro!
Shion Wakayama as Momo Ayase
Natsuki Hanae as Okarun
Mayumi Tanaka as Turbo-Granny
Kazuya Nakai as Alien Serpo
