@MrIvanm10 Год назад

I can’t believe I’ve been to Tokyo twice and never been to the Toei museum. Thanks so much for the recommendations! Can’t wait to go back

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Definitely worth dropping by, the Toei studio is historic and the museum is really interesting.

@bakabon114 Год назад

Great episode to know about this historic landmark of Anime. I'll definitely follow your footsteps on my next visit to Tokyo☺️

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Definitely do, the studio and the museum are awesome. Oh, and swing by the Hard Off too lol

@dave4shmups Год назад

That Toei museum looks really cool! I know that Toei did the animation for Transformers: The Movie, which is one of my favorite movies.

@mattmaddogwheaton4724 Год назад

That is a damn good tribute to the legend himself, Osamu Tezuka. Were it not for Astro Boy, we sure as fuck wouldn't have Gundam or Macross or even Getter Robo which would totally break my heart. Also Astro Boy 2003 is awesome, watch it sometime.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Indeed, the man was a pioneer.

@RetroMoments Год назад

Another great Game Hunting video here! And nice pickups Jim. Hamelin no Violin has been on my wishlist for a while now. Gotta pick it up when I go back to Japan!

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

It's a great game, a "hidden gem" on the SuFami if you will.

@pedrobenedetti7293 Год назад

Your videos make me happy!~ You are one of my inspirations to live in Japan. Currently trying to get a master's degree scholarship. Please, never stop the videos! Cheers from Brazil.

@MatthewOceanXVX Год назад

Ah! I learned about The Violinist Of Hemeln from Import Gaming FTW. Definitely on my list. Love seeing a classic Hard Off adventure, and also loved seeing the anime statues and stuff. I need to go there.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Violinist is so damn good. I'll make a note to include it in your Patreon box.

@robertthenerd8617 Год назад

Awesome! I love watching your videos, it makes me happy. I got to visit Japan one of these days.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Happy to be of service, lol. Borders are open, start planning that trip.

@darktetsuya Год назад

holy moly that anime exhibit? installation? whatever it is it's freaking amazing! definitely a lot of names I recognize from stuff I've seen. Correct about 'Argus no Senshi' that was Rygar here in the states, funny enough that was the last PS2 game that I imported! (although I think I'm going to fix that soon!!) kinda stuck at the moment though not sure where I'm going next, haha. funny enough also bought tetris battle gaiden at one point yeah definitely a neat puzzler I need to go back to.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Maybe focus in on a genre? Like, collecting shmups, or horror games, something like that?

@darktetsuya Год назад

@@MadPanicGaming oh well when I was looking I was kinda leaning towards fighting games, I did see a good deal on that SEGA AGES hokuto no ken so picked that one up (definitely the cheaper option that atomiswave version goes for like 50 bucks!!) don't know if this was meant for my comment but a really great tip either way, haha.

@mariotaz Год назад

13:00 Thank you for showing the GameCube stuff. Always wanna see more!

@silverian Год назад

Great looking bronze statues in Oizumi/gakuen area. Great pickups and gameplay!

@ShadowPuppet3001 Год назад

great video, those games that you bought are awesome, am going to stick with flying and shoot them up games 🎮 😀 👍, your videos are always fun...

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Thank you!

@shayne1062 Год назад

Oooh, that Gundam game looks like a ton of fun! I'm always learning about games I hadn't heard of before when I watch these 'More Games' vids :)

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

It's a great game, one of the first Super Famicom exclusive games I played back in the day, instantly loved it.

@markg155 Год назад

Great to see you do another Hard-Off run again, Jim. Was great to see what is available at their stores. You can kinda get a feeling on how they compare to Super Potato, Trade and Suruga-ya. 👍

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Yeah, I was focusing too much on Akiba as of late, figured it was time to get back to my roots.

@HatsuneMiku-hh1cn Год назад

I can’t wait to go to Japan this December! I’m going to spend so much!

@xHentaiMan69 Год назад

love your vidoes, i been studying them so when i go to japan in about a week and a half :p thanks for all the info in them! Whats the play list of songs you use in these videos so nice!!

@adamh7588 Год назад

Some great pickups Jim. I look forward to you checking out the Toei Animation Studio. As always like the music you use 😊

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Much appreciated, thanks for watching!

@jayt2917 Год назад

Man you are really a man of fine taste . Love the Dragon ball theme music you put in this video . 😊 i hope to visit Japan in end of march . Great video .

Wow! I have to visit Toei! Don't know how I missed that when I was there!!

@kevinj4877 Год назад

Your knowledge is always impressive and the delivery is excellent. Also, I’m Definitely in the Diddy Kong racing crew 😁

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

It's just a better game, lol my friend looked at me crazy when I said DK Racing is better

@SharifSourour Год назад

I did however go to an anime museum which had a library of anime DVDs you could watch while there for free which was nice.

@moonstar188 Год назад

Awesome video as always love the game hunting and the games are amazing at the price just curious of the bins that are un tested

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

I'll have my Junk video out later this week, taking a look at some of the presumably untested 100 yen games

@moonstar188 Год назад

@@MadPanicGaming will be on point to watch it cause I’ve heard rumors that most of the time they do work and for a good price also they consoles as well and handhelds

@vangelismesedakis9757 Год назад

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Lol, thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos.

@TheBandicootNerd131 Год назад

As a weeb that anime gate area looks AWESOME. If I ever go to Japan, that is a destination for sure. Thanks for showing it off!

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

@KyleYoung2012 Год назад

Glad too see some old games are going down in price;i hope that they dont go back up again because a lot of the games were like 100 + $ recently and just glad like i said that theyve gone back down

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Hopefully it's a trend that keeps up

@Bloodreign1 Год назад

I saw a Namco Museum 5 in that glass case when you first started looking in it, purchased it recently off Ebay for not too shabby a price. Bought it for 1 game on it, Valkyrie no Densetsu/Legend of Valkyrie.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Classic game, love it.

@Luigitime2015 Год назад

@Luigitime2015 Год назад

@Konuvis Год назад

With how many times I've been to Tokyo I'm shocked I never heard of anime gate! Definitely visiting that next time. What's the tune you put at the end of the vid? Sounds awfully familiar!

@pcbjunkie1 Год назад

Yes! Another Hard Off video! I miss the old intro...

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Which intro might that be?

@pcbjunkie1 Год назад

@@MadPanicGaming The old Hard Off Hunter intro with the map. It's just nostalgia from way back. It's how I started watching this channel.

@bobbinsthethird Год назад

Hmm, this video title and description seem to be algorithmically motivated. A lot of people are searching for anime on youtube these days.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Not really, just wanted to refer to the place as something other than just Oizumi-gakuen since most people wouldn't have any reference for what that is.

@Dongled Год назад

Battle Tetris Gaiden is so good! I played it on emulator ages ago...

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

It's very addictive, nice graphics and sound too.

@NeighborhoodOppa Год назад

I’ve been to that hardoff in 2016 and I don’t remember it being that stacked back then. Or maybe I didn’t have much money back then. 😂

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

It had been so long since my last time here, so it's hard to remember if they had more or less games. Got quite a few on this trip though.

@user-un5qt3bn2w Год назад

@hatdude5138 Год назад

I would think the stores in Aki get hit hard. I wonder if they price things differently outside of the tourist area. Also I am still amazed at the condition of used games in Japan. They look like they are fresh from the package.

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Prices in random Hard Offs is pretty unpredictable, there's not much uniformity among them. Super common games are always 300 or 500 yen, but aside from that it's all over the place. Akiba is typically more expensive overall, but the prices are more predictable because they're catering to a more informed clientele.

@crazyoldschool6342 Год назад

Yeah. They actually take care of there games.

@ericng5707 Год назад

Hardoff uses the franchise model so prices depend on the franchise operator. A store can also be slow to reprice items, so you can sometimes find the same game in the same condition but with different prices.

@djthesaintau Год назад

Possibly coming to Japan soon for a work trip any suggestions where I can find the best place for vintage street fighter items ?????

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Akihabara will probably be your best bet for vintage gaming stuff, just shop around, or possibly Nakano Broadway.

@djthesaintau Год назад

Thanks for the tip I’ll be heading there soon !!!

@djthesaintau Год назад

100% in Akihabara on the 30th November over night time to game hunt !

@gocedimitroski Год назад

Ps2/ps3 games do most of them have english in the game eg bio hazards games ?

@MadPanicGaming Год назад

Nope, afraid not. Even the Biohazard games only have English voice overs, all text is in Japanese.

To add to that. You don't pronounce the 's' but you also don't pronounce the 'n' part so it's kinda like Le m-an (the French 'an' / 'en' is pretty hard to explain in writing 😅
