Has anyone watched the Persona 4 movie (factor of hope)? How is it? Apparently its been out for almost a year and still hasn't been subbed in English.

Was it ever even released on home media in JP?
Either way, it's just the series compressed into a movie. Somehow.

 

[Risette]

Didn't they say there are like 400+ in IV?



I think it's someone trolling.

At least I hope so.

Mostly considering this



Especially when there is so much crap anime out there.

It's gotta be a farce.

Anime is a more refined medium than videogames, though.

 

[Dantis]

Anime is a more refined medium than videogames, though.

...A more refined medium?

Nothing refined about most anime.

 

[Risette]

...A more refined medium?

Nothing refined about most anime.

You refuse to watch the anime that would be considered refined which people recommend you in an attempt to broaden your artistic palate out of some bizarre willful ignorance, please don't speak.

There is nothing refined about most anything, but videogames are especially bad.

 

[Dantis]

Ouch. Defensive.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Ouch. Defensive.

It's true, though. You criticize things without giving them a chance all the time.

 

[Squire]

Ouch. Defensive.

She's got a point, brother. Like, I don't like Orson Scott Card's opinions on society, but I don't shit-talk his books because I don't read his books.

Well, I've read Ender's Game, but you get the point.

 

[Dantis]

It's true, though. You criticize things without giving them a chance all the time.

In terms of anime?

I dunno. You criticise a lot of games. I'm willing to bet you've criticised a game on here that you haven't played.

 

[Risette]

In terms of anime?

Throwing the entire medium under the bus and shutting out any attempts to get you to see what it offers isn't much better. It's probably worse.

 

[Sophia]

In terms of anime?

Are you daring us to dig back through this entire thread?

Throwing the entire medium under the bus and shutting out any attempts to get you to see what it offers isn't much better. It's probably worse.

I don't like Soap Operas, therefore all Soap Operas are bad and the medium sucks.

Spoiler

Well at least the first part of that is true...

 

[Taruranto]

Soap operas are bad, though.

 

[Sophia]

Thank you for demonstrating. We love you too, Keiichi

 

[Taruranto]

what's a Soap operas anyway

 

[CrazyTank940]

Soap operas... Bah. Gutter trash. There's not even a single bar of soap.

 

[Dantis]

Throwing the entire medium under the bus and shutting out any attempts to get you to see what it offers isn't much better. It's probably worse.

*shrug*

Maybe.

But comparing one medium to another in any capacity is pretty ridiculous.

 

[buddha0991]

 

[Trigger]

Hah, I get it!

 

[Soriku]

Didn't they say there are like 400+ in IV?

Yeah but it's apparently more like around 500 now.

I wonder how many P5 will have. 300+?

 

[SloaneRisette]

I've gotta side with Dant0r because he is Team Not Anime with me.

Also I dun' get it Buddha.

 

[Astra]

It's a picture of soap, and a picture of an opera.

Why is it called a soap opera, anwyay?

I'd hazard a guess it's because we all want to wash our hands of such garbage. hareharehare.

 

[Risette]

*shrug*

Maybe.

When will you change your ways? I am here to help.

 

[Squire]

Since we're back to the subject of anime: Anybody seen Time of Eve? It sounds good. It's where my avatar's from.

"The name soap opera stems from the original dramatic serials' broadcast on radio that had soap manufacturers, such as Dial Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Lever Brothers, as sponsors and producers."

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Hahaha oh my god so insane anime fan is extremely upset about the "Anime is for Jerks" episode of the podcast:


"Bullshit, dumb fucks. The lot of you(save for Keats) are clearly NOTHING but dumb fucking pieces of shit; ignorant little bitchasses incapable of doing ANYTHING but spouting utterly inane bullshit. "


Rest here.

Man, I wish I had people who hate me

Spoiler

who aren't TurnipFritters

. Tirades like that are the sign that you've truly made an impact on someone.

On an unrelated note, should I change my avatar to Laura Bailey, Scrafty!Junpei, or keep it the way it is? I really like this avatar (and will come back to it once I'm done faffing about with the new one), but I want a breath of fresh air for a bit.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I thought it was a sponge and a play.

Well, that's that then.

Hah, I doubt that is a good measure of the impact you have on someone. Especially since said person didn't even listen to the podcast.

Why not do them all. Nothing like changing avatars every week.
I really should change mine up.

I thought it was a sponge and a play.

Sponge Opera?

 

[Taruranto]

When will you change your ways?

Try have him watch K-on, Bakemonogatari and Ore no Imouto!

 

[Risette]

1/3 ain't bad

 

[Taruranto]

I wanted to say Hyouka but i didn't want him to fall asleep.

 

[cjkeats]

1/3 ain't bad

Those are my 3 favourites!

 

[Risette]

I wanted to say Hyouka but i didn't want him to fall asleep.

I'm gonna get you one day

Those are my 3 favourites!

Hey, I said 1/3

 

[cj_iwakura]

Serial Experiments Lain or Bubblegum Crisis(original) would be my picks.

 

[cjkeats]

Madoka Magica is my go to recommendation, and everyone I'd recommended it to seemed to love it.

 

[Squire]

If probably go with: The Big O, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and the original Full Metal Alchemist. Off the top of my head.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop and Gankutsuou for me, probably. Bo-bobo might replace Gankutsuou because it's probably the most consistently show I've ever seen (I love absurd/surreal humour).

I've recommended all of the above to friends before and they've all loved them without fail. Most of GAF would probably hate 3/4 of them though...

 

[Squire]

Everyone likes Bebop.

 

[Risette]

My recommendations: Mononoke (2007 series, not the Miyazaki movie), Trapeze (Kuuchuu Buranko), Kenya Boy, Gauche the Cellist, FLCL, Ghost in the Shell 1+2 (Oshii movies only, series/all SAC related stuff is really bad), Hyouka, Sword of the Stranger, Angel's Egg, and Little Witch Academia, to start off with.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Everyone likes Bebop.

How could you not? It's pretty much as close to perfect as an anime will get, in my opinion; the only reason I put GL higher on my list is because it made me feel absolutely unparalleled happiness and sadness alternatively, which no other anime has done for me.

 

[Risette]

For currently airing stuff, Aku no Hana is an absolute must watch.

 

[Squire]

See, I knew I'd forget something. FLCL is also totally perfect and LWA is an achievement.

 

[Taruranto]

I bet Dantis would love Aku no Hana.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I'd love to see his reaction to Cuticle Detective Inaba.

Yuta was amazing.

 

[Squire]

I'd love to see his reaction to Cuticle Detective Inaba.

Yuta was amazing.

Wait, what? What the hell is this?!

 

[Dantis]

I've gotta side with Dant0r because he is Team Not Anime with me.

And because we're besties.

Right?

Right.

When will you change your ways? I am here to help.

Probably never, honestly.

It's just not something that interests me.

 

[cjkeats]

See, I knew I'd forget something. FLCL is also totally perfect and LWA is an achievement.

I read the manga yesterday and it was nuts.

God, FLCL is so good.

 

[Marche90]

throwing anime suggestions? I second both Full Metal Alchemist series. Evangelion also, if only because it's ubiquitous to the genre

 

[Trigger]

Serial Experiments Lain or Bubblegum Crisis(original) would be my picks.

Madoka Magica is my go to recommendation, and everyone I'd recommended it to seemed to love it.

I see the initials CJ are synonymous with good taste. I like both of these recommendations.

 

[Taruranto]

Ok, jokes aside, Dantis should really at least check Boku no Pico.

You won't regret it. Trust me on this.

 

[Risette]

Probably never, honestly.

It's just not something that interests me.

Well, it's okay to have narrow artistic horizons. It's best to be honest about it though.

 

[Sophia]

Isn't... that the shotacon show?
