This game looks phenominal. I got Qore for the Socom beta and this demo tomorrow.

Completely off-topic but that anime looks good. Would you recommend it WoW?

The original series is pretty much stock Mahou Shoujo but the concepts are pretty cool.  The sequel A's is kickass.  Best Mahou Shoujo series I've ever seen as it does two things I really like.  Doesn't show the transformation scenes constantly and actually requires the main character to *shock* practice to get better.  The final series StrikerS is much lower budget than A's and feels a bit too rushed IMO (even though it runs for 26 episodes versus 13 each for the other two).

I recommend A's.  Watching the original is good if only for knowing the who's who in A's (though it has its moments).  After A's, you'll know if you want to watch StrikerS.

PS3 exclusive.

And yes, the graphics are no doubt the closest to the actual series we have seen so far. I just hope the environments are better than what the demo of DBZ: Burst Limit had. They were quite bland, and could easily have been more detailed, and not just trying to hide behind the whole cartoony feel of the game.

But from what we've seen so far, I don't think I need to fear for the environments.

One of the few advantages to actually making a game exclusive is that you can really maximize the capabilities of that platform. That said, Ubisoft must have really screwed up on the Naruto 360 game because it doesn't look anywhere near this graphically.

I think Ubisoft has this idea that as long as it looks like the anime, but still has a videogame-look to it, then it will be fine. And there hasn't really been a problem with this strategy before, but now there is a problem. It's called Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.

I don't think fans will settle for anything less from now on, so I hope we'll see the bar raised quite a bit for all cel shaded games, primarily the DBZ, Naruto and Bleach games (the ones with the biggest native userbase if I'm not mistaken).

I agree that in general devs have been pretty lazy about anime games. They just cell shade them and make them look generally like the characters.

Well Qore is coming out today, is anybody going to buy it to play this today or wait 2 weeks?

I wont be buying it, mostly because I can't afford anything these days, except what I have planned and Qore is certainly not in my plans, so I'll just wait for the demo.
