More velvet room parts, the long nosed song was funny. I liked how we had development of the characters. Interaction among the main cast is always good, really enjoyed Kanji Yosukes Teddie parts. Oh and Naoto has the best voice, and personality among the female cast, precious. Hopefully shes playable party member in the game (yu, yosuke, kanji, naoto, I hope).
Naoto is playable, but unless you like to deal with Instant Death spells she's pretty useless. (Almighty Spells are MEH people. The only time you would ever use those is when the enemy is resistant to everything fucking else, which is never.)

She's pretty good for random encounters where you can just Hama or Mudo everything. She's pretty crap for bosses of course, since all she can usually do on them is Tempest Slash/Vorpal Blade or MIND CHARGE Megidolaon. I still used her though.

Your buddies stop mattering once you start getting elder god-tier personas.

Think my party of the forever is brotag - chie - yosuke - kanji, though. Not optimal, but it's a party of bros.

Blade of the Immortal 7

Have I mentioned how awesome this song is yet? So grunge. So good.

As far as the ep goes, I have the feeling that it basically spells out the ending.
His immortality was called into question, with a dude who also suffered the same fate finally biting the dust. So...
I'm going to say that I think it's going to pull the reverse, just for the hell of it.
 
I can't tell if that's a 4:3 stretched out to 16:9 or if the artstyle is really that wide.

Looks native to my trained eye.

Her uselessness against bosses isn't a small thing though. Anyone is effective against random encounters because there is an element of relative ease to them and/or the MC can take care of Hama/Mudo'ing everything at that late stage anyway.

She's only someone you bring along if you really like her character. I can't talk though, I tend to bring along both Chie and Kanji, rather than one or the other, for that very reason.

Yeah, she's in there. More of a Insta-Death person, useful for enemy mobs (not so much against bosses).

She wasn't on my main gang, but I do like the character.

My team = Team O.G.s

Chie, Yosuke* and Yukiko

*Yosuke is just there to keep the team name alive for me.

Mirai Nikki 20: Some weird transitions in this episode. Two of the characters were inside a building in this episode, then a shot of something happened and immediately after they were atop a hill. Also, I wish I had some gif skills. There's this funny moment where these two people are running side by side and Minene only has the key frames of her animation, making her move like an Atari-era video game sprite while her partner has full range of motion.

Sad about the censoring. What should have been a disturbing scene looked comical because of it.

Honest: I pressed triangle during most random encounters and did just fine, as long as you are not stupid enough to don any Personae with Light or Dark weaknesses.

*brofist* I always used Naoto.

Because you guys have waaaay more stuff to choose from.

I'm pretty sure alot of the discussion over there is with the JUMP stuff. AnimeGAF is kinda different in that we have alot of members who don't care for the mainstream shounen stuff and they've been able to shape the discussion.

Mangagaf goes into the shitter whenever certain members decide that the shonen manga of their choice is better than the shonen manga someone else is reading.

I mean, it kinda happens here, but it just goes on and on and on over there.
 
Well, I guess Milky Holmes just isn't suited for me, since I thought first episode was easily the worst.

I've said it before, but the first and second episodes are the worst two of the franchise so far.

I thought the farm episode was quite good (basically Milky Holmes in a nutshell and as such a good reintroduction for a second season). The second episode seemed unnecessary.
However the third episode was everything that makes this show outstanding.


Edit: I might be biased since the first season was one of my favorites in 2010 (behind Tatami Galaxy and hmmm I really have not watched much from that year).
The first season was great, though I was one of the only people on GAF then who watched it; most everyone else wrote it off before it started and really didn't even give it a chance, unfortunately.

This season, though, is not as good so far. Those first two episodes just don't match up. The third ep was good, but 4 was again a bit weaker... probably better than 1 or 2, but not equal to 3. I find the "they've pretty much forgotten about being detectives" plotline annoying, they weren't like that at the end of the last season...

I only keep up with a few series too, so I never figured to delve in there.
 
You guys always seem like you're having so much fun in here.


Why can't the manga thread be like this dammit

I pop into the manga thread and it's usually talking about JUMP. I don't mind shounen (my avatar is shounen, albeit not as "mainstream" as JUMP) but it tends to bring out the worst in people.

AnimeGAF could use a refined sombrero-wearing sloth like yourself. Join us.

Don't make me get started on my fanfic again.

I'm still waiting for the fanfic where your Av uses the toothbrush on my Av.

Oh hey, it's a Natsume episode without Natsume. Well, no, it's actually an OVA from the people who make Natsume about the relationship between a girl and a youkai, but it might as well be a Natsume episode. You have similar directing and music cues, similar plotting and themes, and of course, the requisite
:firehawk ending.
(spoiler picture)

Random note: I was wondering why the guy sounded so familiar and it turns out he's
Ichika from IS
. I thought it was the dude who plays Natsume for a moment.

This episode felt more "anime" than other to me, with the new girl.
Loved the thing about the woof, another proof that Muginami is the better character between her and Lan.

I would go to the manga thread (since I read way more than I watch manga), but there were lots of unmarked spoilers the last time I went :-/

You guys need to come up with a list horrible mangas to inflict on newbies. Then you'll have as much fun as us.

It's like the reverse in there, no hazing. Instead of School Days or Blood-C, the manga newbies get rec'd straight gems like Fapnote and Lucifer & the biscuit hammer. Only disappointment's left after recs like those.

Yeah, I did. It was amusing.

Yah, that's one of the things with the Manga thread, since it's not seasonal and is all-,spoilers would be too much trouble. Discussion comes to a halt outside of the popular stuff but there's a few bros in ManGAF. The funny thing is people probably don't read spoilers outside of the Big 3 anyways.

This is it. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. A hot-blooded female protagonist turning a mundane setting into FUCKAWESOME.

Miki is the kind of character that is seriously underused in anime. Well I guess you could say the trope itself isn't underused, but it is rarely applied to her gender and executed so perfectly. While the premise may not be the perfect fit for an idiot female shounen protagonist, it definitely works.

And then we got Megumi, who is equally as hot-blooded and awesome. The story regarding the chalk-throwing training just kept escalating in such a way that it all culminated into one hilarious absurdist scenario.

My only concern so far is it seems to be rather episodic. Should be fine though. At least this is a start.

This may not be an accurate representation of animeGAF. Read with caution.
I'll be honest and admit I've only skimmed a majority of the thread (because 72 pages goddamn) so it could just be a case of the grass seeming greener. The discussions and arguments do seem more fun despite if it gets heated. There certainly seems to be less vitriol. Of course my opinion could just be a little colored because of how the last couple of arguments in the manga thread have gone.
We're just angry at each other. Mangaf is mostly a happy place with only Big One and some other dudes being angry.
True, the majority of Mangaf is plenty happy but it just seems less fun if that makes any sense. Maybe because the group over appears to be more tightknit or something? Maybe it's probably because I had one too many sangrias to drink tonight.

We've already convinced a few people to read Wolf Guy. It's like twilight but with rape. That author definitely has some issues.
Manga arguments always involves the big 3 which is boring.
Well there is always plenty of HxH, TWGOK, Beelzebub, Nurarihyon no Magi, and occasionally Silver Spoon talk when those chapters are released, but I won't deny that the big 3 dominate. Especially during any down time.

I appreciate the offer, but I always just end up reading something whenever I have free time. I do watch some stuff every now and then though like Utena (since animegaf recommended it to me before) and the 2nd season on Kimi no Todoke (my guiltiest of pleasures).


Incidentally, everyone in this thread should start reading Silver Spoon as soon as humanely possible./manga pimping

Edit: I will say that the original manga thread was a hell of a lot more fun that it's successors. I was only lurking then, but I fondly remember God's Beard convincing people he was actually the author of Naruto.

You don't really need to be currently watching anime to post here, though. There are some members who know pretty much nothing about the current season and instead just talk about Utena. Every day.

Back to SM after a small break. Feels good, man.

It's nice that the sailors
only need Luna to get their memories back, would have been kind of annoying seeing everyone go through that Sailor initiation phase again
.

Also, lol this MOTW was like a retarded Polnareff from Jojo...
