Ah, hey, now that Digitpress is back up, I can post this here!

Copypasted from my Atariage forum post;
So, quite a bit ago I decided to try looking up TV series spinoffs of video games, and found a bit of into this series;

And thought to try checking it out. Unfortunately, that was rather hard to do for a long time.

Then suddenly I started finding DVDISOs. Excited to finally see a bit of what this is about, I tried asking around some anime communities to see if they were interested in it - but to no avail at the time. Even guidance from friends on what anime places to go to couldn't help me there.

So then I thought to try posting about it on Digitpress. Bad timing.

So then I thought to try posting about it here!

But I guess before that, I gotta explain what this has to do with retro-gaming anything, don't I?

After checking out multiple episodes of the series, I can say with at least some degree of certainty that "Bug-tte Honey" is Hudson Soft's own take on the "Captain N" concept - where kids get zapped into a "videogame world" and have to help the VG Stars fend off villains Compared to Captain N, it's much more comedic and, well, more retro-anime-esque.

I put up a place on my webspace to download the episodes I ripped from DVD so far, in case people here are interested;

And since my descriptor probably isn't the best, here's some screenshots, most of which I've picked out to carefully show some of the 8-bit homages in the show;




Currently I've uploaded up to episode 29 on my webspace, hoping to see if some people are interested in the series. Besides the Hudson references, the show also has a lot of borderline-copyright-infringing parodies of other VG Devver's products (Episode 29 in particular has a Super Mario Bros. stage parody nearly randomly tossed in, for example.)
