The original Cold Phoenix Saga was released in winter 1987, therefore it was likely first imported to the US in Jan '88. There's no way Mark was as old as he claims to be, and I find it even less likely he taught himself basic Japanese at that time. Pretty good animation though.
Oh man you just completely made my day. I love the fact that you guys exist. And that you make enjoyable nerd cartoons. Oh boy I love you. Thank you for existing.
I really enjoyed this, has a real good sense of comedic timing. Most memorably I liked the Indiana Jones reference, and this vague possibly unintentional deja vu to FLCL at the end when they throw the child, cause havoc, and declare that they are leaving as the music plays. Oh and Subscribed.
Hey everyone, Episode 2 of the "Ronin Dojo Community College DX: Digital Pirates of Dark Water Saga" will be hitting the digital streets this Monday, December 22nd. So check back here to see how this epic tale unfolds. Seacrest out!
way totally freaking awesome. 5 stars I still love your animation style. I like the new character Jerry, the kid. I hope you can feature him in future cartoons (assuming he recovers from fast ball special).
We may be going to some East Coast cons in the coming year. We'll be sure to let fans know so we can all have an awesome party and high-five-ing contest!
You know, smell and taste uses the same mechanism and the same molecules, so you could know how something tastes by smelling it. Well, generally. Textures, acidity, etc. does make a difference.
To everyone who has commented, messaged or emailed with their compliments on the newest Ronin Dojo. . . thanks! We're gonna get right to work on getting the next chapter out! Keep watching and spreading the word!
I love the animation and art style. it's VERY VERY reminiscent of the Venture Brothers... especially with the 2 guys running, it's almost identical to the intro sequence on venture bros.
I think they threw logic out the window when the guy said he completed an 80 hour game that he had just bought. And when they threw a child at him. I love this series, 5 stars.
golly gosh darn thank you for this unique and eye-opening perspective on videogame nerd culture for the epic win neogaf a cat is fine too ...........epic
I've loved these videos since IM IN UR MANGER KILLIN UR SAVIOR and this is another great addition to the series. Also, we finally see who Jerry really is. And is the game mentioned a real game or not. Because it seems like a gag on Metal Gear Solid 4 to me.
all I can think of when watching this is these characters in craig of the creek, and how their personalities match up
15 years ago - and this is still brilliant - especially the Neon Genesis Evangelion credit scenes at the end.
DAMN SAME VOICE ACTORS OF THE ELDERS THEMSELVES
THIS IS AMAZING
DAMN THEY EVEN MADE THE SAME DAMN JERRY
they also made the animation and VA
Damn I guess I know why Jerry stole that damn sword now...
I love that they brought Jerry into the other show
0:31 The Elders of the Creek.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love how Jerry the dwarf is pre-pubescent.
"That depends... are you.. attuned to the gate?"
Dang , if this is supposed to be the same Jerry from Cotc he certainly got Chubby throughout the years .
"It belongs in a Playstation!"
"So do you!"
Nice Indiana Jones reference.

2:09 man said he sold the brownie in his lunchables, I felt that bro
Holy fuck I remembered watching this back in college. Damn it felt like yesterday........
Oh man you just completely made my day.
I love the fact that you guys exist. And that you make enjoyable nerd cartoons. Oh boy I love you. Thank you for existing.
Saw this first years ago back in early days, but couldn't remember the title. Thank you tvtroupes for including it under 'fastball special.' 😃
"I had to learn basic Japanese at the age of 6 just so I could navigate the menus!"
Best line ever, lol x]
I cant believe this shit is 11 years old.
I really enjoyed this, has a real good sense of comedic timing. Most memorably I liked the Indiana Jones reference, and this vague possibly unintentional deja vu to FLCL at the end when they throw the child, cause havoc, and declare that they are leaving as the music plays.
Oh and Subscribed.

Keep them coming guys, I love it.
Oh, it's a reference all right! That show is sweet, and we are majorly bummed we never got to see Ren and his crew find the last 5 Treasures of Rule.
For Tax Reasons It’s high adventure with, the Pirates of Dark Water! Dunna dun da dunnnnnn!
This is effin hilarious. Must watch more.
for some reason, the end credits (in their perfectly-anime-aping style) crack me up so much.
I love the Evangelion-ish credits! Great job!
You need to make more, these are too good.
cool style of animation. great dialogue too
Amazing. Great job guys
You guys are amazing. I hope to shake your hand one day.
Ever go to CONs?
epic win want more havent seen some stuff for ages thought u guys quit
That's the viewfinder facing us, the viewer. Not the lens. The lens is pointing at the smashy character.
This is GREAT. I LOVE the transformers part!
Very well animated. And really funny.
Sounds more like a solution than a problem. Roll out!
I enjoyed the video. It sounded like an accurate display/parody of Metal Gear Solid fandom.
You know, smell and taste uses the same mechanism and the same molecules, so you could know how something tastes by smelling it. Well, generally. Textures, acidity, etc. does make a difference.
gota love that fast ball speical!
well, you guys are pretty on par every time you guys make one of these, there always very funny
haha this is awesome dude. more people need to see this. gamers would love it.
It's now my favorite short based on a series that seems to be sold out all over the country. I mean seriously there's sold out signs everywhere.
HAHA! He fastball'd Jerry! That was brilliant!!
Wish I could find the comics of this
I really wish I could know if the song near the end was made by the creators or not. It just makes me love life., and I'd love to download it.
man i missed these guys
You took everything I find funny about my hobbies and formed a GIANT FUNNY FRANKENSTEIN OF A VIDEO.
Noijeet'at that was pretty cool. Well done.

@ReiCandy
Homage is the word you're looking for. And yes it is, even the ending title screen was made to look like NGE.
This is the best episode.

i love mark! he looks just like travis touchdown from no more heroes!
Awesome as always!
awsome cant wait for the next one
This is awesome. It belongs on TV in a lengthier format :D
Hey, thanks for the advice! It took me like 6 hours, but I've finally watched it :D
Oh, and thanks again!
I love the animation and art style. it's VERY VERY reminiscent of the Venture Brothers... especially with the 2 guys running, it's almost identical to the intro sequence on venture bros.
its been waaaaay to long here. good stuff mate.
Smattering of applause!
I think they threw logic out the window when the guy said he completed an 80 hour game that he had just bought. And when they threw a child at him.
I love this series, 5 stars.
Much love.
That was hilarious...esp. with the fastball special.
golly gosh darn thank you for this unique and eye-opening perspective on videogame nerd culture for the epic win
neogaf

This could be the start of a great series.
Most excellent.
Was that a synth instrumental version of "Awesome Forces" at the end there?
Wow, you win a medal, sir.
