Tendo City

Holy shit this looks awesome. It's a new anime from Shinichiro Watanabe titled "Samurai Champloo" and it looks insanely cool. Check out the official site here and the kick-ass trailer here.

Damn I can't wait to see this!

From what I can gather in that last pic, Nintendorks is in fact making a play on those two names. It's as though they are trying to give one the image of Toad of Mario series fighting with Frog from Chrono Trigger. That's even funnier, considering I never read that book...

Bo Jackson! Woo!

... DJ, what in the world are you talking about?

I think he's talking about that Frog and Toad picture that someone had in their signature. (Forgot who it was.) I remember the Frog and Toad books from elementary school... I was in about first or second grade when I had heard of it for the first time. I don't think I ever actually read one though.

Uh, Geno, OB1 still has the Frog and Toad picture in his sig... but that doesn't make DJ make any more sense...

I have no idea why DJ brought it up in this particular thread.

As for the Frog and Toad picture, I'm on the school computer and game websites are blocked here. Therefore, images from said websites are just red X's.

That sucks.

As for the subject, it definitely looks like it's from the guy who did Cowboy Bebop...

Indeed.

Um, ABF, it's called humor. Look at OB1's post. What's the VERY last pic in it? Yep, his sig! That's why it's funny! Yeesh...

He's a robot, silly. Robots can't comprehend humor.

Too bad it isn't directed by Shinichi Watanabe [director of Excel Saga], but still anything done by Shinichiro Watanabe I'll definitely check out.

But his sig is in every thread... talking about that in a thread about something else is odd... but more than that, you just didn't make any sense... I can't figure out what you meant... Mario and Chrono Trigger? Huh?

*sigh*

Boy those guys with the name Shinichi Watanabe in their name sure are awesome, eh?

Quote:*sigh*

That doesn't help my confusion...

Nothing will, Brian Buchanan Falcon. Nothing will.

DJ explaining it would.

It has already been explained!

Its talking about your sig image. I know. I could tell THAT... but does DJ mean something? I don't get it...

Toad is a character in the Mario games. Frog is a character from Chrono Trigger. That help?

The best.

Oh... right...

But DJ, I don't see any connection... its a children's book series! Nothing to do with Nintendo, just a funny line... :)

Oh brother...

IE its a dumb joke.

It's an inside joke.

One that ABF wouldn't get.

He hasn't so far, so obviously not.

He's like the fifth Wizard of Oz character who's searching for a funny bone. Haha, he's the serious Zebra!! Those animals are always serious...

...Let's write a book about it!

Alright, I'll draw pictures and maybe we could put together a radio drama! I'll do the voice of ABF!

You are acting so, SO stupid...

Yeah, but it's more like stupid-funny...or funny-stupid...you know?

You know ABF, when a problem like that confronts me I just like to sit back and relax and enjoy a mug of hot cocoa.

Dude, when you delete a message that I just responded to it makes my response look kinda weird.

Moved it to the appropriate thread, OB1... :)

What...

Most of those Nintendorks banners have something to do with Nintendo [except for that one with the guy from Nintendorks] and I'd say that even though yes Frog and Toad are from a children's book they are also characters from Super Mario and Chrono Trigger, thus an inside joke is born...you know?

I don't think it was meant that way though... the banner I mean...

Put it back. You're just making things confusing.

... GR and OB1 do you honestly think DJ's joke is funny? Or whatever... I don't get why it's supposed to be so funny it just looks to me like DJ doesn't know what Frog and Toad is so she came up with something else that doesn't make sense...

See, DJ, Frog and Toad are children's books, and Frog and Toad are friends... that banner is funny, if you know the books and Nintendorks. Of course most of those are a lot funnier if you know Nintendorks much...

What's going on here?!

ABF is screwing up Tendo City continuity. He's like Q.

Um........... I'm lost now. What are we debating? Whether or not that banner had anything to do with Toad from Mario and Frog from Chrono Trigger... or whether or not it was funny... or how much funnier it would've been to someone who knew a thing or two about Nintendorks... or what?

All of that. :)

...You know?

Ask ABF, Tendo City's official thread-ruiner.
