Persona 4 the anime of the game the anime - 11

Hey guys, did you know Persona 4 was based on the game Persona 4? Are you sure? Let me just re-remind you that it's based off the game it even has these moments that were in the game that went exactly like this, oh wow that happened just like in the game because it is an adaptation of the game it's based on, let me just throw in this other moment that was just like in the game because the anime is based of the game called Persona 4.

Good grief did they try too hard in this episode.

 

[RurouniZel]

did enjoy this visual joke in Boku 11

Makes sense. AIC animated both shows. ^^

Kaiji Ball Z (Season 2)

So many episodes with singular developments. This show would have been vastly better at 13 episodes.

Slighty disappointed it only involves 2 games while S1 has 4. But agreed,the bog arc is drag out and have some bullshit moments but tht shit is intense.

LoGH Gaiden: 100 Billion etc. 5-6

They're not being subtle about the parallels to Nazi Germany here. With Reinhard's rage at the tradition-bound and memorization-focused academy, I can't help but feel that there's some implicit criticism of the Japanese educational system as well.

A dream isn't a valid excuse for an unnecessary recap segment, by the way.

Slighty disappointed it only involves 2 games while S1 has 4.

It does seem like Fukumoto has been running out of ideas. The part after the second season ended apparently has only one game, which ends up being mahjong, like all of his other manga.

IIRC,that arc is over and now the new arc involves teamwork and electric chairs. But he did wrote a new game arc for the second kaiji movie.

The dude has like 20 manga that have nothing to do with mahjong. It's only Ten and Akagi which is a prequel to Ten. Yes, part 3 of Kaiji is about mahjong, but part 4 apparently has some crazy gambles.

And of course saying he's running out of ideas is also false since Kaiji part 2 is from 2000 and the masterful mindgame manga Gambling Emperor Zero is from 2007.

Sket Dance 37

Whelp, that's the end of Himeko's back story. It was good, but not amazing or anything. It hasn't retroactively altered the perception of her character like Switch's did. It also didn't really feel complete. Should I read the equivalent manga chapters?

Anyway, now begins the long wait for Bossun's back story.

Shu deserves to be forever alone. I've seen a lot of pathetic male leads in anime but man oh man, this guy is really pissing me off. Forget this fucker, Hare! You deserve a million times better!

I thought the anime did a better job than the manga did at telling it. I don't know why but it felt more believable after watching than reading it. Either way after Switch's backstory Himeko's doesn't feel like it has the same amount of weight to it.

It's a great show, cherish it till the end

I really loved CCS, back in the days when CLAMP wasn't completely hating on all of huamnity.

First movie sucked but the second one was amazing. Definitely overall a really great series.

Yes, you definitely should read the chapters. The reason it feels incomplete is because it is; they cut out lots of the character development from the manga for this arc.

I don't follow manga that closely, so forgive me for being ignorant. I had heard of Gambling Emperor Zero, but for some reason I thought that was also about mahjong.

 

[DY_nasty]

I will keep watching Persona 4. Because they're speeding through the story so fast, because the animation is crayon-esque at times, because they've made Yu a jerk - I have to believe that the final 6 episodes will save anime for all time.

Also let it be known that the black guy died first.

well fuck

 

[7Th]

Guilty Crown 10 was as stupid as the rest of the show, but it also was poorly animated and with direction so bad it would make P4: The Animation blush. Not even the production values can save noitaminA now.

I find it funny as hell that there is literally no explanation for who gets the cancer and who doesn't beyond "main character"/"background character".

Idolmaster Ep21

Didn't like this episode. The bad guy drama is dumb and the episode on a whole felt really really long and drawn out. The second half was much better but it was still overall kinda boring.



Idolmaster Ep22

An improvement over the previous episode, but only because they dropped all attempts to have a plot and just went with Xmas moe. Every other minute in the episode was a character going ^_^ and shit. That was literally it. Cute, but kinda shallow.



Un-Go Ep10

This show is crazy and I can't wait to see how it ends. I still can't honestly tell if it is a bad show or a good show, but I'm leaning on bad show which I am enjoying a shitload for unknown reasons. It's just nuts.



Guilty Crown Ep10

Now at least with this show I can comfortably say it is a fucking bad show. The characters are all repulsive, the drama is bad, the comedy is flat, and a lot of the story themes are insulting to the audience because they're so moronic. Looks like they're going for a BAD END mid-season climax or something. But really... who cares? Lol.



Penguin Drum Ep23

Fantastic episode with some AMAZING art throughout. I looooooooved the scene in the middle of the episode. Great character art. Pretty much all the chips are on the table now, and they just have to end it next week. I don't really care "what" happens at the ending really, because I'm not attached to any of the characters and they can basically do whatever they want and it won't affect me emotionally. What I do hope for is that they decide "how" to end the show in a really visually impressive way with kickass execution.

[Regulus Tera]

I guess a show has to be something like Blood C or Horizon for some of you folks to consider dropping it. A mix of the boring and the incomprehensible, perhaps?

But virtually everyone liked Blood-C here...

Blood-C was fun! Those who didn't like it were just approaching it with the wrong mindset - you can't take it seriously at all.

Attempting to compare anything favourably to LoGH, even some of its spinoffs, feels unfair.

I liked Blood-C the same way I liked to getting choked during foreplay. It's was fun once, but now I get headaches just thinking about it.

That move with the bucket was an incredibly stupid idea, even if it was the only source of water at the time.
So like most people predicted, they'll end the season with the revelation from the end of volume 3 and beginning of volume 4. Fair enough. This show was definitely a sleeper hit of the season for me, though I maintain that Yozora doesn't deserve
