Not all of them, only the ones that are partly done by Americans. Pure Japanese-made animes can be mindlessly fun. God I love Japanese people. They're so disturbing that knowing something like that exists is just awesome.
Dont blame america for causing all the cash-cow-milking, there's been plenty back before anime 'boomed' in the USA. Though I agree that the japanese are deliciously disturbed. (anyone who dissagrees, watch Serial Expariments LAIN... or for mo coherant but jsut as disturbing, watch Hagaren all the way to the ending... the deeper you get, the more disturbing...)
I only blame people who try to make fast money by making children emphatize with unqualified, cliché characters. Either American or Japanese. Though that cow-milking was kept at minimum before the involvement of USA. There wasn't that much people to sell stuff in Japanese by Japanese so they were never greedy in theirselves. When USA showed up, that meant a new, much much larger audience to sell stuff and make an even faster money. Then Japanese people too got greedy in the process.
"Chiaki Konaka's Sam and Max" would be both something I would really want to watch, and something that would really not be anything like Sam and Max. Although I would love to be proven wrong. Anyway, I'm pretty sure season three is a game. I think it's an action/fps/platformer kind of thing, like Assassin's Creed mixed with Uncharted 2.

Eh? I'm talking about "Sam and Max: Freelance Samurai" It's a little-known series bing done by a backwater studio. However, the one or two references I've seen to it seem good (not to be confused with the movie "freelance Samurai")
this needs to be in the game
if they can make sam with a mustache, they can give max anime eyes and a sword
i want to see a puzzle where you have to get back to hell, so you perform hara kiri

I thought you were kidding about the anime, or were confusing it with the animated series. (I get so confused when people talk about "American" anime. It's like, do you mean dubs or American cartoons drawn in a "Japanese" style or what ... ?) I never heard that Purcell licensed the duo to a Japanese company. Are they even that well known in Japan? (Germany now, that'd make sense.)

I try tonmever use a term like "american anime" because it confuse people. IMO anime is a style or genre, it's nationality-independant, wheather Japanese like Evangelion, or american like Avatar, it's all anime. There are lots of people that think several american shows are japanese and several japanese shows are american (Hellsing for example) so the water's already very muddied.
I know next to nothing about the series. I suggested that they publicize on here, as this seems to be the "unofficial official" Sam and Max forum, but I dont know that they will. Apparently it relies on the off-beat humor of S+M but has a serious, dark, plot, all while parodying many anime and tv tropes. If anyone's interested I'll see if I can dig up any more info on it sometime.
I have a question for Telltale. While we know S&M s3 is going to be released this year, does anybody in Telltale know what month or quarter of the year the first episode will be released? thx in advanced.
Edit: And if you do know, when will it be released?

Now I'm expecting TTG employees to pop in here with "I know!" or "I dont know..." nothing more...
"A power-mad space gorilla pitted against..."
what do you guys think space gorillia as in the animal? or space guerilla as in a stealth soldier of some kind?

oh, awesome. but hey, no reason he can't be both. He does look heavily armed. But i guess this means we can also expect giant cockroaches, it'll be just like Bad Day on The Moon. I hope Max doesn't get incinerated again.

I don't think this greeting is related to Sam and Max 2010 by any kind. I believe it's a random albino gorilla near a random giant cockroach playing the piano.
I doubt the card has nothing to do with the new game. I'm not very good at explaining myself right now, but it just seems weird that... argh, I can't think of the right words. Steve Purcell didn't draw it, is my point. I'd elaborate, but I can't. Sorry.

It was drawn by their concept artist though. They have also mentioned a space gorilla as playing a part in season three, so I think it's safe to say that the gorilla in the greeting is the power mad space gorilla.

Agreed. Let's see the facts:
- They released ToMI Ep5 on Dec 8, with a closing hint of Sam & Max 2010
- At the same time, they opened up a teaser site
- They've created a christmas card with not Wallace & Gromit, not Tales of Monkey, not Strongbad, not Bone, but... surprise! Sam & Max
If there were negative nouns in the dictionary, this would fit nicely under 'not conincidence'

Because there's a Sam and Max anime.

I hope everyone get's that one
Happy new year!
I wish we could award reputation or kudos on this forum.
Edit: And if you do know, when will it be released?

It's January 1st!
..wait..
nah, more like the onetyfirst jancember.
I do that with every TTG game I get. That's one of the reasons I refuse to pay full retail price for them.

People more awesome than me have said it's a gun rather than a spaceship (and after reading their sage comments, I'd agree).

I'm goin CRAZY!
Happens to me at least 200 days off the year.

Good point. Maybe it's a... um... gouerilla?
Hush! Allow me to enjoy my elaborately constructed fantasy world undisturbed!
Sorry. Try hanging a sock on your door handle next time.
Ohoho~~
That convinced me!
