Capcom also announced that a new anime series based on the Viewtiful Joe games will begin airing in Japan starting October 2. The Saturday morning anime will broadcast in six TV Tokyo-affiliated stations throughout Japan every week from 9:30am to 10:00am. Like the game, the anime will feature Joe in an adventure that’s packed with enemies, stylish action, and comedy.

Should we be overjoyed, or very, very afraid?

I'll say the same thing I said in another message board that annouced this:
DAMN, I haven't even gotten the game yet and there already make a TV show!

Old news to me.

And I don't have any real opinion on the matter since I haven't played Viewtiful Joe. I know, I know shame on Ngangbius for that. But at least I pre-ordered Katamari Damacy(and it should be coming soon if Gamestop didn't screw-up) so that should count for something.

Did anyone ever happen to catch the PaRappa anime?

OMGOMGOMG TEH WIIIIIN.

...there was a PaRappa anime? o.o

The Parappa anime was pretty horrible. They just re-wrote the lyrics to melodies and songs from the games and used them in the series as musical numbers. As far as I know, it flopped pretty horribly.

As a point of interest, though, one of Parappa's male classmates was gay. He was also the most desirable boy in school, according to the girls, so there were actually a couple of episodes that where Parappa was like "Why is that chick chasing after the gay guy instead of me?!"

It's funny that those situations are tip-toed around in adult US tv shows, while they're freely shown on Japanese children's TV.

But then again, this is also the cartoon based on a videogame series that had a crossdressing moose driving instructor and a fabulous hairdressing octopus.

And there's a problem with this?

I haven't seen the anime only the beginning japanese theme song which I thought was cute and well done (Parappa on a stick doing different moves as he turns is fun).
