Animation looks like shit.
They were going to in 4 so this is their big chance.
He's pretty cute! Can't wait to see the rest of the cast.

They already had an extremely homophobic character in P4 I doubt they'll add gay relationships lol
this new protag is the new sad Batman for me

Yeah but I thought that character was deliberately made to look like a jackass.
Unless I'm just projecting here.

Mmm at least the manga is finished so the anime will be a closed story.
It's not like Atlus is a stranger to having gay characters in their games, even in the main cast. Never forget Persona 2!
I hope Atlus hasn't
That's the impression I got as well. Yosuke is trash.
They were originally planning so you could romance Yosuke too, it would have made him not a piece of trash character.

Actually would've made a lot of sense. He was acting the way he did because he was confused about his feelings. Would've made him more likable.
Just to confirm he was still my bro in the game, he was too useful in battle.

Persona 5 on the Ps4?

Oooh, so we're having 5 episodes for denouement?! I really like how this is shaping up, finally they get a direct prompt to consider the central conceit of the show after everything they've learned. It seems patently obvious how the question's going to resolve, but it also feels natural.
I'm getting antsy...
get rekt lol

Never was a fan of Teddie, but Kanji is the greatest. Great character.
Have to agree about Yosuke though. I didn't like him from the start, but it was the stuff at the camp that made me consider him to be an asshole.

America is rather friendly to the lgbt community overall.

we've at the very least started to have a movement in media and thinking from the general population that is pro LGBT. Anime is still stuck doing extremely stereotypical/insulting gay characters. And I wouldn't be tooting yaoi since that's usually meant as fan service.

America is a really big place. On the coasts and large cities i'd say we're very Gay friendly.
It's a pretty nice place, I think. I'm happy living here for now, at least. It has some downsides, though. It's more expensive to get some anime here compared to the States, and recently our video games became more expensive by around $5.

I do wonder when I'll get my Morpheus Infinite Stratos experience after watching that part of the stream.

I knew this would happen eventually... but now that I see it, it's even creepier than I thought it would be.

I do kind of wonder why they edited this tiny bit to make it appear worse than the thing probably is.

Solid episode, though the truck crashing into the helicopter made me bust my gut.
Mommoka is still awesome.

What is the difference?
The funniest thing about it is the people agreeing with his post without a hint of irony.
Platform mostly. Morpheus is a PS4 addon, whilst Occulus is a PC one (at least for now).
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Episode 33:
Finally, and I do mean finally the full assemblage of the Sailor Scouts has commenced, and it took its god damned sweet time. Yea, I am in agreement with those who said that Sailor Venus joining the team should have happened way sooner. Indeed, this is one of my major critiques with the first season, it took way too long to get the band together and the overall quality of the season suffered from it. At any rate, not only do we get the requite special episode mixing up of the tactics from the Dark Kingdom but we get a ruse, while cliched as hell, still proves to be effective.
Anyway, since we are momentarily out of formula, this allows Zoicite and Kunzite to team up and finally deal with the Tuxedo Mask factor. Basically the set up is there for Venus to have a big damn heroes moment and it is alright; honestly I thought Jupiter had a better entrance. Still, we get more storyline teases, but this shockingly is not the end of the arc. Anyway, a good episode and since it is a Sailor Scout debut, it automatically earns the highest recommendation to watch.

I can't quite recall but I think the singing is either not necessarily a requirement for all Undines or it's something unique to Orange Planet.
Either way, great episode.
Aha! I thought so. I remember reading about Miyazaki's involvement with something a good while back on here but I didn't want to make a tit* of myself by making claims I couldn't backup.
Very much looking forward to 155 if it ends up being as good as 145.

Wait until you see the costume design...

Hazuki's character arc is resolved really well, we keep up with the pattern of fucking destroying Doremi from all directions, and the emotional climax is still not quite here yet even though it's now clear as day how it's gonna play out. I don't want it to end so soon though ;_;
This was also, in other matters, an interesting way of realizing how demanding Hosoda's storyboards actually are. Episode 40 had Umakoshi, Sushio, Kubota and other super talented people, but here we just have Kawano + 2 bros on the animation front and you can really tell that the character art struggles to keep up with all the detailed close-ups and unusual framing. There's some nice drawings and bits and it still looks way more polished than the average Doremi episode, but it's no 40.
It's interesting to compare this with the other episode directed by Hosoda. 40 is pretty clearly the episode he really wanted to make, while this one feels more like he was around at the time and did it as a favour. This doesn't mean it's pedestrian, on the contrary it's a beautifully done episode and one of the best in the entire franchise. It's more standard in terms of the content compared to 40, and fits more directly into the continuity of the character arcs as well as the way they're playing out the resolution of the series, but this also means that in terms of being dramatically engaging and emotionally affecting it's a much more impactful entry.
