Lupin III Treasure of the Sorcerer King with Robbie Sherman (Conversations with Robbie Sherman)

Buckle up for a PS2 heist where Lupin III swaps manga mischief for blocky stealth antics in Treasure of the Sorcerer King, that 2004 gem channeling Monkey Punch’s rogue into disguises-gone-wrong and treasure hunts that test more patience than finesse.

Joining the vault-cracking crew this time is Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman, dishing on how the game stacks up to the source chaos of Jigen’s aim, Goemon’s blade ballet, and Fujiko’s inevitable backstab.

So grab your best disguise and let’s see if you can sneak the treasure out of this one. Either way it’s going to be a blast.

Learn such things as:

• When does homage become IP theft?
• Does it ever work to retcon multiple unrelated characters into a single one and act like it’s not weird at all?
• Do you really need those side characters? Can’t we just get rid of all of them and follow the main character exclusively?
• And so much more!

You can Robbie on BlueSky @convoswrob and his podcast Conversations with Robbie Sherman.

📚 #MeinSommerMitDir ist eine herrlich unaufgeregte Story, die entspant zu lesen ist. 🥹

Ich mag es sehr, dass Wataru und Chiharu über ihre Liebe zu Filmen eine tiefere Freundschaft aufbauen, auch wenn Chiharu bereits zuvor wusste, wer Wataru für ihn ist.
Und das #TOKYOPOP den #Manga mit einer 0 gekennzeichnet hat, begrüße ich auch. Es irritiert mich im Regal immer so, wenn der erste Band einer Reihe keine Zahl hat, weil er mal als Einzelband geplant war. 🙈

#amLesen #MangaYear26 #MangaDE

📚 Band 3 von #ASecondGoodbyeToYou hat mir gut gefallen. 😊

Shinohara tut mir etwas leid, weil er immer sterben muss, wenn ihm was auffällt ... mal sehen, ob Hinata dagegen langfristig etwas tun kann.
Die Vergangenheit von Sora ist hart mit der Kindes -Verwarlosung, fühlt sich im Kontext von Genre und Medium aber sehr klassisch an. Trotzdem bedrückend erzählt. 🙁

Eine Sache, die mir bei dem #Manga immer wieder durch den Kopf geht: #Tokyopop hat es explizit als "kein Boys Love" gelabelt und das stimmt. Allerdings ist die Beziehung von Sora und Hinata schon arg innig. Wenn Sora ein Mädchen wäre wie in #Erased würde niemand romantische Gefühle anzweifeln. 🧐

Year Wrap-up: English Danmei in 2025

Astro Boy Omega Factor with Hamish Steele (Super Mario Moment)

Welcome, mechanical marvels and atomic adventurers! This week on Play Comics, we’re firing up our reactor cores and diving headfirst into the absolutely electrifying world of Astro Boy Omega Factor for the Game Boy Advance – because apparently someone at Banpresto looked at Osamu Tezuka’s groundbreaking manga and thought, “You know what this 1950s icon needs? A portable fighting game experience where he punches evil robots directly in their non-existent feelings.”

Released in 2003, this 2D brawler took the mighty atom himself and somehow convinced an entire development team that what fans REALLY wanted was the chance to mash buttons while watching our favorite nuclear-powered pint-sized hero exchange haymakers with increasingly ridiculous mechanical adversaries. Sure, the original manga was about philosophical questions of robot rights and what it means to be human, but why dwell on existential dread when you could just… punch things?

Joining us for this high-voltage episode is Hamish Steele from Super Mario Moment – a man who knows a thing or two about platform and fighting game mechanics, though probably with significantly fewer isotope-based superpowers than Astro Boy packs. Together, we’ll explore whether this GBA adaptation captured the essence of Tezuka’s revolutionary creation or if it just left us feeling like we’d been on the receiving end of one of Astro Boy’s arm cannons.

So charge up your atomic energy reserves, practice your most devastating uppercut, and prepare for an episode that’s absolutely radiating with gaming chaos. Will this manga adaptation prove to be a shining beacon of handheld excellence, or will it fizzle out faster than Astro’s battery in a poorly designed dungeon? Time to find out if this portable pugilist belongs in the Hall of Mighty Adaptations or the scrapheap of forgotten GBA obscurities!

Learn such things as:

• Should we be concerned that a 50,000 horsepower robot is solving all his problems with his fists instead of, you know, actual diplomacy?
• How many obscure Astro Boy villains can one GBA cartridge possibly hold before it achieves sentience?
• How many different episodes will at least partially focus on a character’s butt?
• And so much more!

You can Hamish on BlueSky @HamishSteele, his website HamishSteele.co.UK, and his podcast Super Mario Moment. If you want to get your hands on some of his books then go grab Go-Man: Champion of Earth or any of the DeadEndia series in The Watcher’s Test, The Broken Halo, and The Divine Order.

Mobile Suite Gundam Federation vs Zeon with Derek Van Dyke (Super Deluxe GamesCast, Castle Bravo)

Prepare your beam sabers and polish your Zaku helmets-this episode of Play Comics is about to launch straight into the Universal Century! We’re diving headfirst into the PS2 classic Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon, where the only thing more intense than the space battles is trying to pronounce “RX-78-2” three times fast.

Joining the fray is none other than Derek Van Dyke from Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo, who’s here to help us decide once and for all: Is it better to fight for the Federation, or is life just more fun in a mono-eyed mobile suit? Expect hot takes, cooler mobile suits, and at least one attempt to dodge a colony drop with nothing but sheer podcasting bravado.

So grab your joystick, pick a side, and get ready for a barrage of wit, wisdom, and way too many references to Newtypes. The One Year War has never sounded this entertaining.

Learn such things as:

• How real is the science of Gundam?
• Do you really have to play as one of the characters to have a game that feels right?
• If I thought of a story arc that already existed, does that make me a genius or just guilty of pre-plagarism?
• And so much more!

You can find Derek on BlueSky and of course as part of the Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo.

Mobile Suit Gundam Encounters in Space with George (Shortbox Summary)

This week on Play Comics, we’re taking you on a high-speed tour through Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space, a PS2 classic that’s equal parts thrilling dogfight simulator and love letter to Universal Century lore. From piloting iconic mobile suits to reenacting pivotal battles from the One Year War, this game has everything a Gundam fan could ask for—except ground-based combat (but hey, who needs dirt when you’ve got asteroids?).

Joining us for this cosmic adventure is George from Shortbox Summary, who brings his signature wit and deep knowledge of pop culture to the discussion. Together, we’ll explore what makes Encounters in Space stand out among Gundam games, share our favorite moments from its sprawling story modes, and maybe even speculate about Zeon’s questionable interior design choices. Strap in—it’s going to be a bumpy ride through the stars!

Learn such things as:

• Did George really say starting with SD Gundam is a viable option for me?
• If you can’t find a character you like here, are you even trying?
• Zoomy zoomy, shooty shooty giant robots got big booties.
• And so much more!

You can find George on Bluesky @shortboxsummary.bsky.social and of course over at Shortbox Summary.

Welcome back, fellow mecha maniacs, to another electrifying episode of Play Comics! This week, we’re strapping into our mobile suits and diving headfirst into the pixelated battlefield of Gundam Wing: Endless Duel on the Super Famicom. Prepare for a high-octane journey through the cosmos as we dissect this classic fighting game based on the legendary Mobile Suit Gundam franchise.

But wait, there’s more! We’re thrilled to announce the return of our dynamic duo of guests, the incomparable Billy and the ever-enthusiastic Erinn! These two are back by popular demand, ready to share their insights, banter, and perhaps a few heated debates about their favorite Gundam pilots and mobile suits.

Billy is a seasoned fighting game player who has mastered the intricacies of Endless Duel’s combat system, while Erinn is a die-hard Gundam fan with an encyclopedic understanding of the series’ lore and mecha designs. Together, they bring a unique perspective to the discussion, blending gameplay analysis with a genuine appreciation for the source material. Their chemistry and friendly banter are sure to keep the conversation engaging and entertaining throughout the episode.

Learn such things as:

• Does anything good come along with giant robots?
• Is this finally the game where having a plot of “Everyone fights” actually works?
• How does Papa Roach play into any of this?
• And so much more!

You can find Billy nowhere online because he’s a hermit who hides out in those secret places of the internet that only we know about.

You can find Erinn inside the laser that your cat is chasing, manically laughing because she’ll never get caught.

Attention all Gundam fanatics and mech maniacs! Today we’re blasting off into the cosmos with Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front for the PlayStation 2!

Joining us is none other than Scott Wachter from the wildly popular podcast The Recap From Mercury. Scott’s expertise lies in overanalyzing obtuse science fiction plots, so he’s the perfect wingman to navigate the tangled narrative threads of the One Year War.

Will the valiant Federation pilots emerge victorious against the dastardly Zeon forces? Can any of us mere mortals comprehend the sheer scale of these titanic mech battles? And is Scott prepared to have his mind blown by the sheer excess of beam spam?

Strap in tight and get ready for rocket-powered robot rampage as we go full psyco gundam on Zeonic Front! The battlefield drama awaits…just try not to get caught in the crossfire. Over and out, soldiers!

Learn such things as:

• Is everyone in the wrong uniform really a bad guy?
• How can a simple TV programming snafu change the course of a generation?
• Do we need more games where you play as the villains?
• And so much more!

This week we’re blasting off into outer space to take a look back at the classic PS1 fighting game Gundam Battle Assault. Released in North America in 2000, this game brought the action-packed combat of the popular Gundam anime franchise to PlayStation gamers.

Our special guest this episode is Karrington Martin from the fantastic K&K Indie Gaming Corner podcast. Karrington is a huge Gundam fan and will provide expert insight into the lore behind the game’s mobile suits and storylines. We’ll discuss how Gundam was a part of his life growing up and how the timing of the North American release made for some interesting thoughts.

From the slower than you’d expect paced arcade-style gameplay to the impressively animated sprite work, Gundam Battle Assault was a technical marvel on the PlayStation. We’ll analyze the combat mechanics, graphics, and modes that made it a classic among mech fighting games. And we’ll debate where it ranks among other Gundam games and mech fighters on the original PlayStation.

So power up your beam sabers and launch your verniers because we’re taking control of some epic Gundams today with our guest Karrington Martin! Strap in and enjoy this action-packed episode of Play Comics!

Learn such things as:

• Did any kids back then know about the heartbreak they were getting into?
• Does it matter if you don’t get the first game of a series?
• How can you mix together such a roster of characters who have little, if any, interaction in the source material?
• That Transformers Beast Wars episode that we talked about
• And so much more!

You can find Karrington at K&K Indie Gaming podcast website. You can also find him on Twitter @Desertfury90.

In effect, this meant that if #Tokyopop chose to cease publication of a title, the contract would prohibit creators from completing their work independently.

And when Tokyopop’s North American division had to shut down three years later, this is exactly what happened: Entire creations faded away, their promising creators burned out.

What a vile, appalling document it was – pardon my French.
