That was such a AMAZING episode. Even the stellar animation doesn't save it.

I've only played a little over 2 hours, but yup, as someone who played a decent amount of P3P & P4G, I seriously appreciate the improvements in the overall pacing (I won't lie, P4 takes about 3 hours for you to actually start "playing" cuz all the PLOTPLOTPLOTPLOTLPLOTPLOT) & all the small improvements like having commands be assigned to each button instead of a menu & having the super nice ability of just pressing R1 & instantly having the game know "OH, YOU FOUGHT THIS MONSTER! HERE'S ITS WEAKNESS, JUST CONFIRM TO SELECT THE ATTACK!", which will make dungeon crawling battles go so much faster. Plus the transitions are nice & stylish, especially when you enter & leave battle. I actually said out loud when I landed an ambush "oh damn, soooo good" because it didn't fall into the RPG trap of a loading screen of the screen distorting or whatever.
Also it's kind of funny the tonal whiplash from P4's "omg a new person, welcome to our small town! let's be frriieennddsss!" to P5's "UUGGHHH, THIS GUY, CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE, WHAT AN OUTCAST"
Persona 5 definitely starts quicker than P4, but it's still pretty slow. I'm like 7 hours in (probably padded an hour or two) and I still don't have full control yet. Seems like I'm just now getting to the point where I can choose what I wanna do.
Looks like I'm about to do the first dungeon for real this time.

Yeah, I think what helps P5 is that I have more interest in the characters and what's going on, far as the opening goes. I'm more interested in what's going on and the tensions are higher already in the beginning of the game than they were in P4 specifically. I've spent a bit over 4- 5 Hrs and I have gotten to the point you are at going by your post, Moaradin. I think it definitely could have opened up quicker, but I feel more interest in playing this at the beginning than I did with the beginning of P4. It doesn't help P5's opening is very guided in what you have to do before you get to the point we are at (April 18 After School).

The next thing you're going to say is: Do you want to super size that?

There is this
Your sides are the work of an enemy stand
If I have one (minor) gripe with P5 at the moment, it's that Igor's voice is different, TOO different & doesn't fit the character. Like, when I first heard the voice, I thought it was some kind of narrator or a character I hadn't met yet, not freakin' Igor. It's not the voice itself that's the problem, it's the fact it's given to a short, old-looking guy with a long nose. The P3/P4 voice was fine, hell, Sentai brought him back for P4 Animation.

Because were moving into an actual decent part of the series, unlike Unicorn which continues to be a slog if you have no idea about the UC-era gundam.
Well, on the subject of Gundam there really wasn't another choice given what hasn't been dubbed.
One might say "let's always have a Gundam show" maybe was a bad decision.
That would be the deeper issue.

Yeah the Toonami audience clearly doesn't have the love of gundam that DeMarco does

They need more stand alone Gundam shows, like G-Gundam, Wing and IBO. problem with Unicorn is that its sooooooooo deep rooted in its own history that new fans cannot pick this up without watching the 7-8 other series's first.
IBO had flaws but not the historical weight Unicorn has which made it an easier and more fruitful watch.
Gundamn it. I really wouldn't mind a break from Gundam, but I know we'll probably get IBO S2 after Unicorn.
This as well, mainly for Unicorn & how it expects you to know the tons of other shows related to it. At least IBO was stand alone.
Gundam Unicorn is a Gundam show mainly for UC fans, I think it was even billed as such.

True but it wasn't billed to us as such, just "a new gundam series".

considering they had to go to Japan to get Unicorn on TV i do wonder how much of this was Sunrise's decision

I'm watching the first season right now.
I don't know how it would have done ratings wise, but I think Toonami-gaf would have liked it.
I think it would be easier to swallow for the Toonami crowd.
It will be lucky to ever get a NA English dub. It will never air on TV.
Pretty much.
