That battle suit really is silly. Her regular black kamui is great though. I wanna see Yukiko in that.
The battle outfit is silly and that's the point.
I'll take art of both though. And Mako x Chie while I'm at it.
How could you not?
And yes, I do give the show credit for being self-aware of how ridiculous that outfit is.
What are your general thoughts on it? I think it's funny and I generally like the art. It's wacky like FLCL, but there doesn't seem to be anything happening there thematically and the humor isn't as smart either. I like it a lot, but the glass is certainly half-full for me.
It's just coasting on style right now for me. There's a lot of humour in the animations but it doesn't seem to have that core of genuine feeling that TTGL had in it that made it more than just well-made absurdity.
I feel very strongly uncomfortable about the absolutely blatant fanservice - more so now that it's an actual plot point that parading around near-naked actually translates to being strong. It feels uncomfortably close to excuse-for-naked-girls territory rather than anything of any real meaning or value, at least at this point.
In conclusion,

Jeepers, it is silly.
This is a smart post. I don't even know anything about the show, haha!
I didn't mind sword art online, though the reaction from the Toonami thread was HILARIOUS a week or so ago. 
Feels there was a lot of potential in the series there that never really came of much though. Can hope the books were better, but meh.
Kill la Kill is freaking CRAZY as hell, but I like it. Has the craziness of FLCL(music queues seem reminiscent of it too), but it's not as smart as that show was. Which is fine, in the zany department I like it better than Excel Saga so far. The fanservice though, yeah no. Was a little better that there's a reason for it now, but even then, eh.

Been hilarious for the past few weeks. I have no interest in continuing watching it since I just plain didn't care for it, but reading ToonamiGAF at 2 am brings me some good laughsI didn't mind sword art online, though the reaction from the Toonami thread was HILARIOUS a week or so ago.
There's a two episode string of the excellent first half of SA:O where a kid is introduced, and much hilarious reactions ensue from those that watch it.

Oh god, they're watching the psudo parents arc? That's when I stopped watching when it was originally airing. SAO has a good concept that falls flat due to the actual characters, mostly "perfect" Kirito and Asuna, who is pretty good unless she's around Kirito (which is a lot)
As for Kill la Kill, I'm sort of enjoying it. I really liked the 4th episdoe for some reason though, just pure stupid fun. The fanservice is obnoxious though, so that knocks off a lot of points. Feels like I can't show this anime to a friend without getting odd looks.
Yep, I like getting my friend into anime since he likes things with good stories(loved Death Note for example), but it's hard to with something like Kill la Kill for that reason. Though he did like Excel Saga when we watched it, though Kill la Kill because of the battle mode being that, it's almost like the whole show is made around it, while the talking uniform without being pervy is a much more interesting plot device(not to mention I think it just flat out looks better).

I actually have a pretty long winded response to this, but I'm not going to derail the thread with quibbling over what is or isn't feminism.

Which one? Though they're all pretty vile.
The hardest chapter for me in Book of Shadows was the one about Naho.
Why? I thought it was pretty standard stuff.

no p3 remaster until p5 is out pls
1st one is a total harem pic.
Nice idea with the Eva characters in that classic P4 pic. Took me a sec to see what they did there.
P5 released next year with P3 Velvet and whatever the hell else. BELIEVE.
You know what, let's get totally crazy: Persona 2 HD collection with improved gameplay/graphics with both games slapped together, and this is why 2 EP PSP never came out. There's your 3rd game.

MEIA PLS LETS NOT GET TOOOO CRAZY HERE

I imagine they'd both release in the same year. Not sure which would come first, since P5's been in the works for ages and they wouldn't need to spend too long on P3. Could end up being really close together.
I would imagine if P3 Velvet is one of them, it'll probably coincide when the final movie is out in theaters, so I'd guess whenever that is.
Then again, maybe the three announcements are two games and one release date for the next movie? This is what makes this so much FUN. We know one of them will be a game, but how many of them will be?
....I'd really want a remade 2. Sigh.

So do I but lets be real here :c
Persona Complete Velvet Edition. HD next gen remakes of every Persona game, plus 5.
Costs $400
Is the only way of getting P5
Only 400? I'd probably pay double that.
Good point, let's make it 1500.
I highly doubt that. You're talking about delaying what would probably amount to 9-12 months work by 2-3 years. Makes no sense to announce it this early and then sit on it that long. If we're to assume they're going after the same market that bought P4G, that means it's a Vita game, which means time isn't really a luxury they're afforded.
What makes you say that? With Vita TV and the PS4, it looks like sony plans to bank on the vita for a while yet. It's not like the system is weak in any way so they can certainly milk it for awhile.
Why?
Yeah, those are good points. You still wouldn't announce a remaster 2-3 years in advance of release though.

It's not quite that farfetched. Both P4G and P2EPP were in development at the same time. They weren't announced at the same time, and both are ports, though.
Summoning giant robots out of your psyche? Not gonna lie, that sounds rad.
It would have to be an entirely different team. The whole of the Persona team will be working on P5 right now, just like they did with Catherine. When they split up for multiple games, they finish on the smaller project and then shift over to help with the larger one (Common practice. ND did likewise with U3 and LoU). But Persona 5 has been in development for years already, and a release is to be expected a mere matter of months after its announcement, so they're already going to be at the tail end of development.
They'll already be having to pull a handful of members out for Arena 2, and they'd have to pull a lot more out for an internal development. Unless they literally grab a previously unrelated team to work on it, it seems incredibly unlikely to me.
The only thing is that we don't know what the SMT4 guys are doing. There's always the chance that they've been roped into it.
These are both side projects with smaller teams, during which P5 would have been very early in development. Completely different.

Yep, Those mechs are looking kawaii~.
I actually don't think it'll take 2 years for the other P3 movies to come out, but whatevs, who knows really? Think end of first movie has trailer for second coming out next summer, then last movie in winter.
I still wouldn't be shocked if one of those boxes wasn't for the 2nd movie at the least. I mean, if it really is 3 announcements, at least one has to be related to the Persona studio, but that doesn't mean they all do, right?

I see what you're saying, but I think you're making a lot of assumptions about there work flow. They could probably manage small teams for Arena 2 and P3G at any point in development. The studio probably doesn't even have a crunch period. It's not like they're making a AAA game. Now that I'm saying this, ND is a really bad reference point.
So, they spent a year promoting and producing the first film and you're thinking the next two will be out the following summer and then winter? Major theatrical motion pictures? That doesn't seem inconsistent to you?
Pretty sure everyone has a crunch period, not just AAA. ND isn't a bad reference point, because it's what they did with P3P and Catherine.
And I guess we'll see on November 24th!
Not everyone has a Naughty Dog crunch though. Bad point of reference.
I didn't mention ND's crunch period. I think you misunderstood me.
Right. In general I wouldn't compare a studio like Atlus to one like ND. Even similar processes employed by both have minor differences due to scale. Atlus allocating team members to those other minor projects and ND moving people over to something else is different.
