Samurai riding a raptor? Why not.

And it's still second samurai.
Third samurai would be riding a modern motorcycle!
Oh wait... that's already be done.

Yes, it's Shibazaki Yousuke.
But he doesn't give his name until chapter 30 or so in the manga since he has trust issue.
Before he only gave everyone he met fake names from SEGA games he played.
One of the fake names' example is Kuroki Tenma from Alien Soldier (Mega Drive).





Uncle From Another World (Isekai Ojisan) anime adaptation is scheduled for a July premiere date in Japan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZGuf4jqltQ



Quote
In the trailer, Takafumi asks Uncle what his friends in the other world were like, and Uncle remarks on the verbal abuse he received from one of his companions (shown to be a female elf).
Takafumi realizes that the elf was just being tsundere.
Unfortunately for Uncle, tsundere was a character concept that only really hit the pop culture mainstream around 2004, long after he had had departed to the other world.

Samurai Jack was awesome. Wish we had more shows like that... or at least more episodes of Primal.

Snow Bros. is a classic platform game that was first released as an arcade game in 1990 by Toaplan, a Japanese development studio that was mainly famous for their shoot ‘em up games. Critically acclaimed Snow Bros. later released for several consoles and home computers. Being well-liked by players, Snow Bros. spawned a sequel on arcade. Snow Bros. gained cult status as a sought-after retro game after having been dormant since the 90’s.

30 years later it’s time for the heroes Nick and Tom to return in a modern interpretation with the title Snow Bros. Special coming to Nintendo Switch later this. Snow Bros. Special has inherited the cute design and the feeling from the original arcade version, but has been upgraded to make it even more fun. The game can be played by two players at the same time.
