Recently, I imagine that you been asking yourself a question lately, ” Where the F#%k has Devil Survivor been for the last three months??” Well ladies and gentlemen I moved to South Korea and I’m teaching at a public high school. Its been a good time so far and finally I have time to write something. The topic this time is the second Devil Survivor game which came out in February. I have played through it twice now and I’ll give you a tour.
Background Story
The story in Devil Survivor 2 is a bit different then in the first game as the story this time takes place in different locations around Japan and in the first game you were locked down in Tokyo the whole time trying to escape. Again your a boy in high school, this time a third year high student instead of a second year student, who is coming back from an exam at school with his two friends. When at the subway station, they receive an email on their phones from a website that shows a video clip depicting their deaths in an explosion in the near future. The three students are able to avoid their imminent deaths because of a warning from an avatar from the site and then a train comes crashing and they run for cover. As they wake demons appear and a battle begins, after defeating the demons the students form a contract with the demons and become demon summoners. Soon after the heroes encounter a mysterious government agency known as JP’s that is trying to protect the remaining Japanese cities that haven’t been completely destroyed by the disaster that has struck Japan. They ally with JP’s in order to find out what is behind the disaster that has befallen Japan and find a way to survive.
Gameplay
The gameplay hasn’t changed much from the last game which used a turned based system combat system on a grid of squares. The combat system also featured teams of three, two demons and one of the human characters, and the game allowed you to use up to 4 teams at once. You can carry up to 24 demons in your party at any one time and a great feature of this game is the ability summon a new demon if one of your demons lose all its hit points. Another feature from the first game is ability to create more powerful demons by fusing two less powerful demons. A new twist has been added to this feature called the demon compendium which saves all demons used or created in the fuse application, and for a price you can immediately summon that demon back to your party as long you have a free space. A completely new feature is called the Fate System which is a social relationship system that uses a 0 to 5 scale to rate the bond between the main character and the other characters. The benefit of having a high level bond with another character is that it grants you certain special abilities that can only be used with that character. Again present is the branching story lines like other SMT games, although it seems like there are as many paths as was in the previous game. The demon auction also still in the game, but is less important now with the demon compendium in the game.
Graphics and Cutscenes
The graphics in some ways are not much improved from the original game. The environments looks more detailed and the bosses look quite nice. However, some of the artwork from the first game was reused, but if you haven’t played the first one then you probably won’t notice that. The cut scenes are where the game shines because the first game doesn’t have nearly as many as DS2. The cut scenes all look graphically bright and vibrant. Overall the game is an improvement in most areas in terms of graphics.
Audio and Music
The game’s soundtrack is exceptional, which is a hallmark of any of the SMT games. Each song seems to fit the scene its being played in. The sound effects for the different demon attacks and other actions fit nicely with the overall feel of the game.
Closing Comments
Comparing this game to the original devil survivor it holds its own, while bringing some new gameplay elements to the table. I think Atlus could have put some more effort into making some more new artwork for the character interactions instead of just reusing some of the character models from the first game. Overall, the game is improvement over the first incarnation. One final note, if you haven’t played the first game yet, don’t worry because you can jump right into this game because the two stories have no bearing on each other at and are completely separate stories in effect.
So, those fools over at the ANNCast think they can just make up their own top 10 list and leave it at that, when we all know darn well any monkey in front of a computer with DSL internet can do the same. Regan from the Anime 82 Podcast wanted to go ahead and do a “Top 20” list just to one up them ( I would imagine that would be his reason, but I could be wrong), which where does that leave me you say? Well, getting back from hitting up the rec room while burning some calories off (but now finding thats pointless since a box of M&M’s is near me, darn it) and listening to those so called “experts” at the ANNCast ramble on (I wouldn’t say ramble, it was pretty good, but I didn’t finish the episode FYI) about their list of anime, I decided to put together a list of my own, IN A SOBER MOOD FOR ONCE!!
This took about maybe an hour I would say between thinking of what I have, looking at what I have, and cheating by looking up my Anime-Planet account to see what I have again, I was able to compile a list of my “notable” top 10 that I think most people can agree with. So with this, ill state the anime and give a brief piece of dialogue about the show. So, where we go!!
#10:
Macross: Do You Remember Love
I am not much of a Macross fan, I mean I like it an all, but it has never really been a big fascination for me. But, I do enjoy this movie quite alot, even after seeing both versions of it (The Japanese version and the “Celebrity JUST FOR KIDS ENGRISH HACK DUB of it” aka “Macross: Clash of the Bionoids”). I’ve only seen half of the original TV series (the Robotech version) so I knew the characters and the setting, but the movie is a retelling of the TV series, in which I have to say it did a really good job of it. The action, battles, soundtrack and characters are enjoyable to see, and this movie gets all the praise it receives from fans over the years. This was also directed by Noboru Ishiguro, who recently passed away, but will not be forgotten. Speaking of Ishiguro’s works…
#9
Megazone 23 OVA’s
With the passing of Noburo Ishiguro, this is one series (0ther than Macross) that fans have come to know and love over the years, especially fans that saw this in the Regan era. It is without question that of the 3 OVA’s made, part 3 is the black sheep of the series, and the other 2 are REALLY GOOD!! Part One is the classic for me, its enjoyable, entertaining, and overly 80’s in its own right. Part Two I have to say is probably my most favorite, but by a hair. It is more 80’s (no doubt) than the first one, but has that same energy as the first one in terms of story, characters, you name it. This does however tie to the first OVA and completes the story in a pretty good way I should say. So, lets move on to number 8…
#8
Gall Force Series
If you are familiar with 1980’s sci-fi anime as much as I am, this is something I could count as an “essential” to see. The Gall Force series is pretty much 3 movies-OVA’s-ish, followed by more OVA’s in separate series that depict a world where women fight aliens trying to destroy them in some galactic battle, and its totally kick-ass to see!! They each got their own character traits, problems, female bickering, you know, how girls really are, but all included in space with robots and aliens and stuff. I found this out by starting out as a Kenichi Sonoda fanboy (still am today) and I am glad I did. So, let’s move on to number 7…
#7
Project A-ko
Originally to be part of the Cream Lemon hentai series, this stood out as one big entertainment-fest of high action animation into 90 minutes of your time. With little inside jokes to anime series and movies along with giant robots, your typical cat-fight around a city wide Humans vs Aliens battle, it has everything you need to enjoy this piece of 80’s treasure to your hearts content. It is so wacky and crazy I just don’t want to spoil anything about it for you, just check it out yourself.
#6
Crying Freeman
There is no other anime I have seen so far that has made me cry in sadness over an almost naked assassin and his almost naked assassin “to be” wife fighting other assassin clans in this 6 part OVA series (based off the manga). When I finished this OVA, I wanted to cry out of sadness into a pair of boobs because this OVA taught me to cry when killing your foe when you really don’t want too. The animation and story changes per OVA (some of which has great animation and others kinda “ehh”) but my god, I felt so sad watching this, and it felt so great. You may take this as a depressing anime, when in reality its like every other action anime out there with knives and blood, only this time, you can feel ok to let your manly tears roll down your cheeks when seeing Freeman decapitate some guys head off, because he was doing it already. Not to spoil this, but go see it. Ok, so what do we got for our number 5…
#5
Goku: Midnight Eye
You know, in my last review, I have already stated my love of this OVA. To be honest, I only have this on here because I want to represent Kawajiri somewhere on this list. Sure, I could have added something else, but you know what, I didn’t want to. If you read my last review, you know already know about this and how great it is. But for those of you who didn’t, this has CYBERNETIC-MOUTH-LASER-SHOOTING-MOTORCYCLE-HANDLEBAR-PINKHAIRED-EXOTIC-DANCERS!! Oh yea, and tons more stuff, that I kinda forgot, because the girl is all I can think about at this time. OOOOKAY, number 4 is…
#4
Gunbuster
Without a doubt, this has to be Gainax’s best OVA/possibly anime ever made. This was a project that Anno worked on, but guess what, it was not like Evangelion at all!! This is however, more of a somewhat prototype of what Evangelion would be one day, which some characters you see in this do resemble the personalities of Shinji and Asuka. But this ain’t Eva, because its in space, and with giant robots, and people find the courage to get their butt’s in gear and make a difference in their lives to save the freakin galaxy!! And there’s some nice boob bounces in this, just FYI. Yea, go see this, its 6 episodes, you can’t go wrong there. So whats for number 3…
#3
Golgo 13: The Professional
This is the man that should have won that stupid character battle that AAA podcast made up, heck, every list forever as matter of fact. It is said that if Golgo isn’t killing someone, he is having sex with tons of ladies, and if isn’t having sex with tons of ladies, he is killing someone. He is the man that make James Bond look like a pussy to the world (and with Roger Moore, more like an newborn at an infant ward), the man that has been involved in every major event in history from the past 40 years, and then man that can re-populate the earth after he killed everyone on it if he got paid too, of course with dozens of women ready to take his “special weapon” with glee. But none of that happens in this movie, when its about him taking down a bizillionare oil tycoon dude. So, number 2 is…
#2
Fist of the North Star: The Movie
Fist of the North Star can be debated as probably the second best story ever told (or maybe the best, who knows). This is really about a guy who was out to take revenge when his douchebag “karate master best friend” took his girl and left him for dead in the post-apocalyptic wastelands of the future year of 199x. The movie turns out to beso much more when our hero Ken”Mad (as hell) Max”Shiro has to fight his fellow brothers in arms of Hokto-Shinken to get his woman back (its totally different in the series). But if you want an introduction to the series, this movie is it. Its an hour and a half or so of your time well spent. So, were down to number 1, and I wonder what that could be…
#1
Bubblegum Crisis
I am not going to lie, this is my favorite anime series as of now and hope to be down the road. Call it favortism (shoot, it totally is) but this has had a soft spot in my heart to rock me to the grave. When the Japanese made this in the 1980’s, they thought the future would have betamax tapes, engrish letters on signs, and robots running amok in this cyberpunk future. Despite this series flaws (yes it has them ill admit), It is my true love, and I cannot hide that fact from anyone. The music, characters, fans, people, toys, other side series (that all depends really) has made this OVA series unique for me in many ways. I will get around to reviewing this on here one day, but that will come at a special time.
There are some honorable mentions, because this was a hard list. So here they are:
Zeta Gundam: It seems to be getting hate now, but it took me a long time to watch/collect/finish this series, and I was pleased how it ended. But truth be told, the 0080 OVA is the best Gundam out there (well until Unicorn finishes).
Armored Trooper Votoms: This is a great series and good OVA side stories to add with it to keep the series very engaging. I wanted to add Armored Hunter Mellowlink to this list, but it does belong with Votoms IMO, even though it has such great potential to be more well known.
Akira:”HOLD ON NOW, WHY DIDN’T YOU ADD THIS ANIME ON YOUR LIST ITS THE BEST ANIME EVER ARE YOU INSANE OR SOMETHING YOURNOTANANIMEFANBLALLKASSDLFHALSKDJFOALSSDFLWEUIRYUOIWQWHR,BNXV,HBHIUAYKJQBWERIUJ!!!!”
– My expected response from today’s anime fan.
If you are one of these people, shut up ok. Akira is something that is on everyones list, forever, till its forgotten about or till the world blows up. I like Akira, shoot I have the movie on BluRay and on VHS (from Pioneer) and have seen it a few times in the past decade or so. But this is my list, and adding Akira just seems so generic these days when it comes to “BESTAHNIMEZEVAR” list. But, the manga is better, so read that instead.
MD Geist: … its not that bad, honestly. If you have heard my comments on the bloggers review podcast I do on this site, then you know where I stand on this. I like MD Geist, I enjoy how bad it is, and I enjoy the entertainment I get from it. And there is nothing wrong with that in my book, because it’s not hurting you or anyone else.
Riding Bean: This is one of my favorite OVA’s out there when it comes showing people anime. I feel I could show this to people who don’t know to much about anime or think they can’t get into it to see that this isn’t any different from any other movie they have seen 1098798079876 times over. Its 45 minutes of an animated “exploitation” movie, that is all that it is. If Bean Bandit was black, it wouldn’t change anything other than the name to “Chocolate Bean Brown: Mutha of a Bandit”.
Dirty Pair: I haven’t finished this series, but this is something that is essential to anime fans from that time. From what I have seen, pretty good, its all about 2 girls that destroy more than what they can save while working for a company that hasn’t fired them yet. Hey, it makes the show even better, so check it out.
So that is my list, and I feel pretty good about it, and I got something in this month so that is always good…kinda. See yea guys next time!!
Hello there, everybody. I’m back after quite a hiatus that I explain in the video, so I won’t waste time on that here. I talk about the Spring Anime lineup for this year and one in particular that I’m super-excited about: EUREKA SEVEN AO! WOOOOOOOOO! So anyway, here we go.
On April 1st, 2012 [ADULT SWIM] aired a prank talking about bringing back Toonami for a single night. This “prank,” may have actually been a test to see how many viewers would tune in to see it. See this video will explain what I am talking about.
http://youtu.be/RePsyrx5aJs
Currently, There are many fan site such as Neotoonami, which was brought up on a past episode of AAA, trying to get many old fans to help get Cartoon Network to bring it back. You can even go it http://www.toonamiaftermath.com/ and watch a Ustream that airs anime that used to be on Toonami for FREE!
look at this as well:
[adult swim] @adultswim
#BringBackToonami We’ve heard you. Thank you for your passion and interest – stay tuned.
What we need now is to help in the quest to bring back Toonami! Cartoon Network and [ADULT SWIM] need to hear our voices now if we want our anime back on the air, so go to the links below and help in the cause! LET’S ALL HELP TO GET TOONAMI BACK!

It was announced that VIZ and Warner Brothers, after once again shelving the idea of making a live action “AKIRA” movie (see previous article) have found a new project to work on. Have you, dear reader, ever wanted to see an anime with inhumanly fast warriors, super unrealistic swords and monsters that will most likely be CGI turned into a live action movie made inAmerica? Well guess what, the anime that we all know and love “Bleach” will be making an appearance on the silver screen in all goes according to plans this time!
Yes, soon viewers will be able to see Bleach in the real world with all its super fast paced action scenes and sword-fighting! And don’t worry, thanks to CGI we are sure to see all your favorite scenes, hollows and zanpakutos created to the best of the movies budget. I’m sure that they will be pouring in as much money as they can to get this project right! I mean look, their trying to get Peter Segal to direct! He directed movies such as “The Longest Yard” “Get Smart” and “The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps” (personal favorite of mine, and was the best of the franchise by far). He’s so perfect to direct this movie, even if his last film was in 2008.
Of course the film could turn out like this horrible fan film made by Going Nowhere Show http://youtu.be/hhCDGAfD924 I mean look at how bad it is, how little effort was put into it. The Hollow looks like it was drawn in paint! This could be the quality that theHollywoodvision of “Bleach” could be.
Fan of anime have been waiting for a well made live-action adaptation of something like this and it looks like there prayers have been answered. I’m sure that this movie will be given the up most priority just like “Dragonball: Evolution” was when it came out. So, lets all get ready because there is no way this project will end up like “ALBERT!”
After having a quiet (yet secluded) Friday night full of countless hours of playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the occasional Panzer Dragoon Saga, it was time for me to take my binge drinking feat to the next level, watching yet another old school OVA from the day. After popping in the one of many random tapes I encounter on my near endless VHS shelf, I parked myself on the couch and the world began to spin around me. When I came too, I found myself face to face with quite a catch when it came to the female species. She had a lovely mane of pink 80’s metal hair, lushes lips and a half naked body to die for. This of course wasn’t all perfect, as she was fitted with motorcycle handlebars on her back as… an accessory? She gave me the most lustful of looks as her mouth began to slowly open up, which I know what your thinking guys, I was going to get some right? Well, I was going to get something, as I noticed a pink light began to grow the more her mouth opened. This freaked me out and I quickly kicked her away, which to my luck was a good thing or I would have been BLASTED BY A MOUTH LASER AT THAT MOMENT!!!! Scared out of my wits in the predicament I found myself in, a figure from behind her appeared and a silver rod stabbed her in the back. As I looked up at the shadowy figure, I saw a small red light lit up where the figures eyes would be, which made the sound of a bird cawing. He told me his name was Goku, an regular dick you could say (ie. Private Investigator) and he needed my assistance. Oh good, its another one of these Jack Daniels fueled adventures again I thought to myself, as I was now in the world of Goku: Midnight Eye.
Let me make this as perfectly clear as I can, I. Love. Yoshiaki. Kawajiri. Anime!!! And when it comes to everything this man makes, I have about all of them in my collection. There are somethings you can expect when watching a Yoshiaki Kawajiri anime, things like creatures (human or animals) having the ability of shooting lasers from there mouths, the main protagonist female companion dying or getting raped, women in the most awesome and ridiculous 80’s outfits, some women naked, a really cool weapon of choice that the main character uses, stuff blowing up like everywhere, an insanely crazy story plot, a “bad-ass” main character, some vampires, and more stuff that doesn’t make a lick of sense but you don’t care to analyze it further. This is all the key components that goes into a Kawajiri flick past 1986. It is because of these components that I will always add one or all of them if I was to make my own animation anything, or these are things I look at in any anime I want to watch period. Goku Midnight Eye is no exception to anything that I listed, because its is literally a tsunami of everything coming at you, which is why I chose to talk about it in this review.
Goku: Midnight Eye is a two part OVA that takes place in the future year of 2014 in Tokyo (and by God, everything that happens in these animes better come into view, especially the fashion sense of having girls with motorcycle handlebars on there backs, YEAH!!!). The first OVA starts out with a man on the run from our protagonist Goku, all because he has a key to the mob bosses mistress which he’s having an affair with (because he is their accountant). The man tries to fight back using a “mechanical robot Mazinger Z style” hand to fight Goku, which back fires on the guy. After Goku drops the key off to the mistress of the mob boss and turns her advances down, we see him give his intro about how bad Tokyo of the future has become corrupt by the the people who run the place and how they are destroying the city, one small earthquake at a time. We then cut to a night club where the main attraction is the only kind of girl I want to know (but no way in hell it would ever work out) who is grinding up the dance floor on all fours as her body moves rhythmically with the generic 80’s dance synth techno music blaring in the background. We see a man monitor another man in the corner of the night club who goes by the name of Genji Hakuryu. The man monitoring Genji is in a trance when he sees many eyes glow behind Genji, and pulls out his pistol and blows his brains out. This is met with Genji giving a toast to the dead man. Goku decides to see his old boss at the police station because of the recent suicides of Goku old partners through the police station and gets himself dragged in to the case, with the help of an old friend, Yoko.
"You can't trick my left eye"
Yoko explains that the business man is an arms dealer and known as the merchant of death, and the police are trying to get a case against him to put him behind bars. After two more officers decide to take there lives thanks to the naked women in peacock feathers (yes, a naked woman in peacock feathers is the cause of these suicides) Goku and Yoko decide to investigate the tower of Genji and figure out what is going on. Once inside, Goku meets the biker girl who is sleeping on the dance floor in the club (from earlier) and shows him she is more than what she appears, by SHOOTING LASERS AT HIM FROM HER MOUTH!! Almost getting roasted by the exotic woman, he gets knock out by a burly security officer and gets to meet Genji on his knees. After Genji explains his plans to Goku of how bad of a guy he is while petting the (PINK HAIR, CYBERNETIC, MOUTH SHOOTING LASER EXOTIC DANCER!! SPOILERS!!!!) exotic dancer like a domesticated pet cat, he lets Goku be stung by wasp who have been genetically altered to sting people with a sleeping toxin (not kidding) and leaves Goku on the side of the road in his awesome Chevy Corvette. Goku is then collected and drives along when the peacock woman decides to use her hypnotic powers while standing on a moving semi-truck tanker. The only way Goku can resist the powers is by stabbing out his left eye with a knife and drives off the bridge into the water.
We then cut to Goku on an operating table where a mysterious man inserts a cybernetic left eye into Goku, which grants Goku the ability to access ANY COMPUTER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!! After waking up on a park bench and playing around with his eye to take out two street punks who are armed with machine guns, we find out Goku has a new weapon, an extended silver staff (like the one Goku uses in DBZ, just not silver). Goku then realizes that Yoko might be in danger and rushes to get to her place. Can Goku defeat Genji and put his reign of exotic laser shooting dancers to an end, and will he be able to save Yoko? You know what I am going to tell you, so go find this and watch the rest. You still got a scene where Genji half Mexican midget assistant rides on the dancer to attack Goku and, by God, just see the darn thing already! I haven’t even explained the second OVA to you guys, where its full of cybernetic flying robot Pterodactyls, a rapist/pedophile M. Bison clone and inter-dimensional rockets that come from a flying space car. I cannot ruin the rest of this for you, even though I went on a pretty long rant regardless.
This is all you need to know about this anime EVER!
The OVA’s is actually an adaptation of the manga done by Buichi Terasawa, who is more well known for doing the Space Adventure Cobra series and a few other things too (I have the Goku Midnight Eye manga that was released by Comics One, which I have not read the whole manga series as of yet, yea shame on me) to add to his long list of things Terasawa wants to do. The fact that these two entities of Japanese creative genius didn’t make the world explode when they shook hands is something I am grateful for, and Kawajiri decided to put his own spin of things on the adaptation of the manga when he took on the project. Kawajiri also did the character designs for this (as most of his stuff) which the faces seem very unique and almost non traditional anime/comic book looking way you could say. Terasawa style is to have hot, half naked chicks everywhere, who either fight against or side with the macho main protagonist. You may call it mind numbing 80’s anime trash, but I see it as pure great, macho-ish, anime story telling nostalgia. It’s content like this is my answer to why I just cant get into current anime, because it has none of these things in it. And if it does, its very few and far between. If Kawajiri decides to adapt the rest of the manga (trust me, there is SOOO MUCH more to cover), I will be on board, waiting to see the day of the next OVA. Bottom line, why are you still reading this!
If you enjoyed this review, head on over to my personal blog over at Anime of Yesteryear. See you next time!!
Final Remarks:
Only in 1989 could people in the anime industry be with women like this, because this ment something.

Millions of Americans woke up today to devastation. After many years of living a lie, anime dubs as a whole when on record to say that the jelly donuts in anime were actually a Japanese dish known as “onigiri,” or as it is known in English “rice balls.” Dubs when on to say that, for years they have been onigiri and have been telling Americans otherwise as not to make theUSaudience unhappy and break off the relationship. After the new was broken there were a plethora of reactions from dub viewers.
Some viewers were shocked by this news, falling to their knees and yelling that quote, “everything I know is a lie!” Others broke down and were taken to mental institutions to get psychological help for the mind-crush they experienced during the years of this relationship. A small percentage of Americans pretended to know all along that this was the case; all while avoiding eye contact when interviewed and spouting that they were going to dump dubs anyway. Some even denied to talk to reporters, telling them they were lying and that anime would never do this to them.
There have been many cases such affairs where an anime comes over to US with an altered image to entice a USaudience, all the while going on a side relationship with its true audience. Japan. For instance, to preserve the minds of the USwho watch Yugioh! the harpy characters were redrawn with amour to cover up their nudity, while the Japanese got to see the true face of the anime. This sort of conversion of anime is known as “localization” and has played a key roll in making many Americans to enter a relationship with anime. Unfortunately, some Americans cannot deal with the years of lies and messy break-ups ensue.
“It feels like the anime has been lying to us all these years.” Says one fan. “I mean, when I found out that the lollipop that that one guy from one piece has was actually a cigarette inJapan, I was shaken. This new news that the donuts were something so un-American… and that the dubs have lied to me all these years… I need a moment…”
In response Dubs came out ad told us this. When animes come toAmericathe relationship between it and the audience is already at a rocky start. Being from two countries with two totally different cultures, it was necessary for them to pretend to be something they were not. As time went on though, andAmericaand Anime’s relationship grew Dubs could be more honest and open about thing like cigarettes and onigiri and pajamas that are actually kimonos. True, there are still things Dubs have not told in all honesty to The US audience, but Dubs wants to make it clear that they are working hard to re-strengthen the relationship with it theUSso they can fall back in love once again.
How do you feel on this issue? Do you think that we should be happy with how Dubs are today, or should we dump Dubs now? Leave a comment below with your opinion!
