nolan · 07-17-2008, 01:16 PM

im just getting into buying all the taiko ps2 games, so far ive bought 7 and 5 and im gonna get 6, but i feel like i should also buy the anime one...i was looking at that song list on the taiko site and there are columns for two taiko games that both have the word anime in the title, are there really two? or is it like another release of the same game only updated or something? they seem to have different songs...fill me in plz ^^; and if they are different which is better?

Buy Tobikiri! Anime Special.

I'm sure the reason is obvious.

There were indeed two anime versions released with different song lists.

One was a budget game (Anime Matsuri), and the other had the full game treatment(Anime Special). The intro is just spectacular.

yeah i saw the intro on youtube, it sounds like an anime theme! xD i guess thats the reason =P i need to buy the soundtrack if there is one, or is it in the 2008 soundtrack?

That theme actually has a long version on the Anime CD.

Taiko no Tatsujin Super Animehit Original Soundtrack

And just your luck, they have it in stock, AND with the 25% discount. :P

wow, talk about good timing! =D and is there anything 'bad' about tobikkiri anime special? like annoying things? i think i want to hunt for it...

I just wish Hironobu Kageyama sang more than 1 song for the game. Other than that, I flat out love the game. Such an awesome and epic intro song.

Nothing bad about Anime Special at all. It's a clear-cut winner in terms of quality songs and charts.

does the anime special game use the first or second taiko game engine? (like, when the taiko guy says "saa hajimarudon" does it sound enthusiastic or does he sound like hes gonna fall asleep? i want to buy all the 2nd taiko engine games)

flyboy87 · 07-20-2008, 08:10 PM

Well, it uses the newer Taiko engine. Meaning... the more enthusiastic "Saa!! Hajimaru, don!"

yay! thanks guys! im soo buying this game! i just gotta find an internet site with it in stock, so far no luck, it must be really popular o.o

flyboy87 · 07-20-2008, 08:33 PM

I have an extra mildly used one if you want it.

nolan · 07-21-2008, 01:26 PM

ok, keep that somewhere, ill ask you if i cant find it anywhere in the next month, ok?

flyboy87 · 07-21-2008, 05:57 PM

Sure. I'll be selling it off for $20 - just to let you know. Half the price I bought it.
