Unbelievable...

Whats that? Man walks on moon? Shit. Hows john lennon doing these days, hes fucking what?

>>6650487
how would you know?

>>6650504
who else has a perfect row of game boxes on a shelf in the background?

>>6650523
me, thats my photo

>>6650474
yeah that's the us. Japan has a clean box where the art is the focus of it. Meanwhile america is all about the brand and a bunch of fucking ads. It's pathetic and soulless

>>6650474
TBF The thing I liked the most about the US game is that at least used official promo art by Toriyama himself unlike other games of the time which had terrible box art.

Maybe it was because since it was Toriyama himself designing the characters that's why they went with that. It was the start of the whole anime craze and magazines of the time were hyping this game along with Toriyama.

>>6650792
and it's still inferior to japan

>>6651118
two nukes weren't enough

>>6651226
The Chinese will gladly show the US what that is like.

>>6651226
don't worry the us will get it's own ration

>>6651271
Why would China nuke its biggest benefactor?

>>6650474
OK, self-hating white weeb.

>>6651428
Amazing how often the west got fucked over...oh sorry...fucked itself over.

>>6650474
I usually prefer nip things but burgers won this one.

>>6650474
kys nigger

>>6651524
lol

>>6651428
I'm all for fanservice but... it's embarassing

>>6651428
At least they redeemed themselves with the PSP version.

>It was the start of the whole anime craze
Akira was the start of the "anime craze" or speed racer or astro boy. Depending on your generation. Generally it's a sign of low IQ and stunted development to assume everyone else only started to like or do something the moment you noticed it existed.

>>6650474
stylistically, the JP cover looks better to me, though the US cover uses art that conveys what the game's about more directly (unless you think it's pokemon and you're playing as the monster on the left of the shot)
though, the art used seems outdated, as fire isn't something that Marle uses in the final game, iirc

>>6650474
Never got why they chose a winter themed artwork. Probably because it got the hero in a action pose. But still odd.

>>6652169
Yeah an odd choice. A fight with a literally who enemy too

>>6650553
You're unbelievably retarded and coping so hard, considering the same exact "ads" (they're called labels, dipshit), are on the Japanese box, except on the American one they aren't within the art, they're underneath it. So the art objectively has more focus on the America box.

>>6652169
Probably because they didn't have to spend as much money on ink.

>>6650495
What am I supposed to see here? Some letters and some fire?

>>6650474
>even the boxes

Did I miss something? What do you mean "even the boxes"? Was there something else?

>>6650474
man fuck death peak

>>6651845

>thinks there isn't a trackable meteoric rise of popularity of a particular subculture just so they can feel smart.

if you think the popularity of Astroboy and Speedracer compared to anything that was out in the time domestically, versus Pokemon since the 90s compared to anything up until MLP, you're daft.

>>6652465

choice seems obvious when you put in next to JP box. High contrast with white, makes easier to perceive whats going on at a glance.

China is about to have another Chernobyl incident, since the Three Gorges Dam is about to burst and kill 11 million Chinese.

Whoa, 3D!!!

>newsflash: idiot thinks pop culture always changed the moment he noticed it changing
I've seen young Disney animators argue on Twitter that they're the first generation to like anime because naruto was huge.
Every generation thinks they invented liking anime when they grow out of Disney and Bob the builder.

>>6654165
Pokemon was one thing, but I know a threshold was crossed when Gundam toys appeared in a local Walmart in the south. You can actually track popularity along the lines of merchandising availability with more correlation than other means

>>6650523
Anyone that collects them.

In an unheard of similarity to collecting ***literally anything***, people tend to put these things on display in a neat fashion.

>>6650523
aAyone who collect things? duh

Why are you being so autistic

>>6650474
I actually prefer the US SNES box over the Japanese SFC one for Chrono Trigger. I am in agreement with >>6652169 that there are better artworks made for the game which could be a better cover, I am glad they did include a couple posters of those. I do prefer the plastic caddies which hold the manual and cartridge in Super Famicom games more than the cardboard caddy for the cartridge alone in the US box. The US boxes allowed for larger manuals, but the large black theming of SNES games and whatever ink/paper coating meant my fingerprints are all over them. For Super Famicom instructions were smaller, more came with colored inside pages, while a few US manuals opted for black/white pages inside. This is just based on the few games I got, and it looks like you kept a lot more of your games in much better condition.

>>6650553
Gotta sell those games to stupid kids!

>>6650474
NA looks better, seethe harder faggot weeb.

>>6650474
NA box art is so much fucking better in that pic.
>Hurr durr minimalism good
I swear you faggots are like little children, who just get excited when they see a pattern they recognize.

lol doubt, and it's cute that you think we aren't already living under a world government where Jews control the slanties, too.
