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;
