Hmm... cool, but... does this counts as an April Fool's Day joke when an image including that poster has been circulating on the Internet for various days? I'm starting to think there is more than meets the eye on this...

It's just a dumb joke they've been recycling since ep15 aired. Like all A-1 productions, there might be a good idea once, but then it gets recycled and reused until everyone is certain that the studio has no real creativity or passion. :p

If you want the thread to go up just before the episode airs in Japan, you can just say so... :p

I'm just pointing out that there are these poor people who you are leaving out of your consideration! :)

I think there is no problem. As I see it they can continue abusing of Mr. Amemiya & Mr. Imaishi brilliance a little more. Let them make a movie already...

Requiem from the Darkness 10

A tale of jealousy and betrayal. Not the hardest story to find, but I liked its implementation here.
Arson makes everything more exciting!

TO THE NEXT WORLD, WE COMMIT THEE!

Always feels bad when the gang leaves Mr.Author alone to fend for himself.

They're so hip. Who wouldn't want to hang with them 24/7?

Duckroll, you should have allowed at least one person put the star wars .gif in the retarded lie day sticky.

Man, you're being harsher about A-1 than I've ever been! Where does your hatred flow from?

Late, but whatever.

Persona 4 25
So, I rather enjoyed
Adachi
trolling everyone again. It made the whole fight more dramatic instead of in the game where it was pretty much a curbstomp. The last half of the episode, not so much. I guess it goes with the whole
giant space eyeball out of nowhere zaniness
that was seen in the game, but wow was that pretty boring.
Not a fan of how the teammate's
ultimate persona
were used though I am ok with
Lucifer
being used as the end all reflect beam spammer.
Overall, it was a good adaptation/rip right from the games of the original game. While I would have liked to see more stuff from the Golden, it's understandable why they weren't added in. I would have liked to see more different personas used as Izanagi is pretty boring to look at. I mean most people would be stomping all over
Adachi
with a Trumpeter and Yoshitsune at that point.

I am looking forward to the OAV though now, with the probable
Margaret
fight which means more different personas being used!

Good thing my backlog is pretty much done.
 
One Piece Skpiea Arc Finish

fun stuff. Dials are cool. Villains and fights were pretty lame though, and naturally things go on a bit too long. Still... fun stuff!

The next arc is filler, but most people claim that it's the best filler so it's your choice whether or not to watch it.

After that, if you decide to skip Davy Back Fight, don't make the same mistake that I did. At least watch the final two or so episodes of the arc so that you don't miss an extremely important
character introduction
.
 
Persona 4: The Enimation end

Huh, I don't remember that happening during the
normal end
final boss. Oh well, good stuff and once again cements Brosuke as Yu's love interest.

This show was really all over the place, but as a fan of the game, I thought it was great. Some scenes were adapted very faithfully which might have actually detracted from their quality, but some other scenes that switched some things up were handled pretty damn well. One episode in particular is basically a deconstruction of the silent protagonist, something all fans of the game know Yu is in it. Definitely something to set it apart from the game's narrative while still keeping the overall message.

For me, this will go down as the 2nd best video game adaptation in the medium. Can't wait for the true end episode.
 
Mouretsu Space Pirates 13

Well it was an entertaining after arc episode. Kind of curious of what Ririka's role is now, otherwise fun. Did I miss something, when did
Lynn become president?

New ED is pretty nice.

I have waited to watch Fate Zero on Blu-ray. You peasants watching it on broadcast television, that is like drinking a fine wine from a box.

But you missed the most well crafted example of editing and time management ever devised, for episode 11. Constraining that magnificent verbose on one episode's time while keeping the TOLD power intact, that is a serious task and no easy feat, well worth seeing the series on the TV airing.

I bet this is a lie too. You're in on it aren't you. THIS IS ONE BIG APRIL FOOL'S JOKE! :(
Oops! Your trauma goes deeper than I thought, and beyond our help. Sorry, have to go now to do something or the other...

The G8 filler arc is definitely pretty fun. I'm currently making my way through Davy Back... But I'll post complete impressions after I finish it.
