The anime didn't get great reviews, and apparently the dub has some odd translation issues where they changed monster names, but it does exist. It also has 75 episodes, which is much longer than I expected.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Hunter_Stories:_Ride_OnSamantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-18842922037947065272020-09-20T14:00:43.532-04:002020-09-20T14:00:43.532-04:00(Yeah I'm obviously not getting a mobile versi...(Yeah I'm obviously not getting a mobile version of it, ever.)<br /><br />wtf CAPCOM made an anime of it? ...Is that a Japan-only thing?Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-79809124036569100112020-09-18T18:11:48.929-04:002020-09-18T18:11:48.929-04:00I really enjoyed Monster Hunter Stories on the 3DS...I really enjoyed Monster Hunter Stories on the 3DS (it's also on mobile devices), but not to the point where I'd bug you to play it ahead of the sequel.<br /><br />Also, if it turns out they <em>are</em> connected story-wise, there was an anime adaptation of the first game, too.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-45751513934483149962020-09-18T15:51:11.343-04:002020-09-18T15:51:11.343-04:00Hey, don't challenge my vibes. >_> We...Hey, don't challenge my <i>vibes</i>. >_> We'll see how the transformations go.<br /><br />I've seen a lot more people reference Repede in comments sections and the like, so you're right on that.

The transformations in Balan Wonderworld look much more involved.<br /><br />"But Monster Hunter Rise from CAPCOM is introducing another animal buddy, Palamute, which is a dog that gives strong Zacian/Zamazenta vibes."<br /><br />And strong Repede vibes, so I thought we were getting a Tales of Vesperia sequel or something crazy like that at the start of the trailer.<br /><br />"Is Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin a direct sequel? In other words, should I buy and play through the first one if this one interests me?"<br /><br />Judging by the trailer, it doesn't look like it's a direct sequel.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-9144047629037475292020-09-18T13:17:50.800-04:002020-09-18T13:17:50.800-04:00Yeah pretty much, exactly.
