Sooooo.......

I think that pretty much says what I'm trying to say. Am I the only one excited about this? I know the subbing is pretty crappy, but I'm looking forward to it, VJ was one of my favorite games, and I think it's cool that they're trying to bring it to anime.

A whole 52 episodes, think of all the filler ones.

Then again, that's what they said about Full Metal Alchemist . I haven't played the game, I wonder if this'll really be good.

You haven't played Viewtiful Joe?

Picture something like Final Fight, but much more stylized, and there's cool special movie effects-based powers and stuff. I can't really describe it too well.

Anyway, I'm just looking forward to the action scenes, if the action in the anime is anything like the game action, it'll kick ass. Wonder what they're doing for plot, though...?

Seems similar to the games... from what i can tell, anyways. I downloaded the Raw.

The Op/Ending sequences are shit. Although the songs themselves are good.

Not much action yet... but at least its going to begin like the games with him rescuing Sylvia. Not sure if that's going to be the whole focus of the series or not. I hope not, though.

Not much Viewtiful action in the first ep either, unfortunatley.

Yeah, that's understandable, it does start a little slow. My younger brother actually started playing it, and after he got to a part he couldn't get past he taught me all the moves he'd learned along the way. It builds up to be a much stronger game than it starts off as. Anyway, give that one a chance -- it surprised me.

I'm gonna be a touch pissed off if they take 52 episodes to go through the (extremely short!) game. I'd like to see some background plot, and we know Alastor and the rest are gonna be speaking role characters, so maybe it won't really so much be Joe rescuing Sylvia as it is a series of interconnected adventures leading up to a grand climax...

In any case, I wanna see what they do with his plane and stuff. That ought to be interesting.

I still need to play the game, but hopefully the show will clarify the plot of said game and then give aditional background information so that playing the game will make the show that much more enjoyable.

I've seen the game before. They are really better off with the comics. I find them much easier to read; more or less, look at. The cartoony colourful stuff in games really makes me dizzy , hurts my head too much.

Hate to break it to you, but this anime sucks. It's one of the few series I've seen the last few years that are just so horribly bad in most every way. It IS a bit funny in places though, but that doesn't make up for the rest imho.

The game was a satire of comic books and japanese heroes. I think the anime was intended to be a satire of superhero animes, much like Kill Bill is a satire of Hong Kong action films (I.E. it's so bad, it's good).

I'd suggest you watch it yourself before taking Jill's judgement for an opinion. Much as I do agree with her, it is kinda cheesy, I still liked what I saw. To each their own, but their own isn't necessarily someone else's.
