The game was better

>>158444737
Huh. Didn't even know it had a game. Does it focus on the story?

The playstation game is absolute bullshit and barely follows it. The one on Sega CD is unintentionally hilarious with transitions and art direction, but has some obnoxious mechanics. It's coherent enough though. Highly recommended.

>>158444737
Or could you have meant this one?

>>158444923
Ah, so you were talking about the Sega CD one. Reminds me of games like Snatcher, but more specifically, Policenauts. Doesn't seem to have any kind of gameplay elements though.

Cobra's gynoid sidekick needed more screentime.

>>158446397
I'm pretty sure the manga delves into her backstory and actually gives her an arc if memory serves me right, but translation is nowhere near caught up.

>>158444632
It's more an 80's manga, but was there really any other competition back then?

>>158444780
>>158444923
Rock knight is the greatest anime/vidya character in existence
>>158449028
it mostly made its mark by being sci-fi action shounen when most the others back then were post-apoc or deliquent or fantasy

Been meaning to get around to watching this.
Where do I start?

>>158444632
This series gave me my first shota boners back then.
Good times.

It's the pinnacle of 70's OPs, that's for sure.

I remember watching this in an anime expo and I had a blast watching it. I need to look for subs ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>158444632
Yes.

>>158444737

Fucking right it was.

CRYSTAL BOY-KUN!

>>158444737
I loved the fake parrot grass.

>>158454108
I like how he still holds on to his ice cream. If he gets into a shootout with those toads while eating it, there's no way this isn't the most badass character in anime ever.

It was the GOAT space adventure anime, but honestly I think Space Dandy takes the crown now. Not even joking.

>>158455440
>most badass character in anime ever.
He literally is.

>>158444737
Rock knight > All

Golgo 13

>>158458650
Close, if he wasn't so damn stoic. Cobra has charm, while Golgo is the king of get-shit-done,no bs. Well, Cobra also gets shit done, mind you.

The real question is, why don't we have a poll on /a/ for best badasses?

What's everyone's favorite arc?
Mine has to be the rugball arc.

>>158460839
I liked the one where Cobra gets his old team back together for a heist.

>>158458708
Because /a/ is full of childs who have never even watched something from to decades ago.

So is the manga any good?

>>158460839
I watched it for god tier fillers

>>158461168
I'm sure plenty of people are aware of it at least peripherally between hilarious LP's of the games, the movies/ova's and him appearing in jump ultimate stars
it's not the most essential series anyways, and it's not like it's perfect despite me enjoying it

Oh right, have this in my backlog in ages.

>>158462358
Give me one good reason you haven't watched it.

>>158463573
1) It's old
2) There are much better and more importantly deeper shows

>>158465195
1) Illegitimate reason, age does not necessarily correlate with quality.
2)

>>158461306
The manga's pretty great, but quite behind on TL (4 volumes so far).

>>158465568
I don't like the way it's drawn s'all
old shows < anime post 2010

>>158465653
Just read the synopsis

>>158468296
So why is it in your backlog if the art alone was enough to turn you away?

>>158450522
The beginning.

>>158458708
>The real question is, why don't we have a poll on /a/ for best badasses?

I'm pretty sure that happened and it was an awful mess.

>>158465195
>There are much better and more importantly deeper shows

Neck yourself.

>>158444737
This is cool.

>>158473392
The parrot plant or the game?

>>158467126
The original series hasn't been worked on in a while but Space Adventure Cobra: The Psychogun has been completed.

>>158444632
See you later, space cobra

>>158444632
The best thing about it is the MAD videos of Cobra in various show like Im@s or Kancolle.

>>158468296
Reading the synopsis of anything makes it seem shitty and kiddy pool deep

>>158475015
Oh, nice. What's the difference between it and Space Cobra? They're by the same author, no?

Same author yeah. It's completely colorized and covers some of the same arcs as the original. You can find it on goddess.

>>158475895
Oh, cool. So is it like a remake of the original series, or a reboot?
>goddess
Which site is that?

More like a spinoff. Goddess is madokami.

I noticed a decent amount of parody art with 2hu also.

>>158476784
It prompts login. Is there a way to get around it, or do I have to sign up?

>>158476851
I need more of Touhou x Space Cobra in my life.

>>158476858
Yeah you need to sign up. You'll have to google how to do that.

>>158476922
Is it worth it? As in, is it pretty much like any other aggregate sites like batoto, or does it have some super special exclusive/wide collection of manga?

>>158476976
If there was stuff from mangatraders you missed out on before it went kaput you'll find it there.
