I bought a PS TV (aka Vita TV) today. I'm probably returning it later tonight. Already been ridiculed by 5 people on Twitter for my purchasing decision.
I hope you're not returning it simply because people made fun of you. Who cares what other people think? If you find it useful, keep it.

Kirito and his harem go on a non-life threatening quest to get a virtual sword. How exciting.

I get not wanting to make games that use the touchscreen compatible, that's a lot of money down the drain but all the other issues with the PS TV (720p, no Netflix/Hulu, PSP games that don't work at all, some Vita games that don't use the touchscreen at all on the blacklist) just makes it more trouble than its worth.

Then again I'm a handheld first kind of guy who doesn't see the point in playing Vita on a larger screen. Screen is plenty big on a Vita anyways.

I guess one could argue it could be used as an easier way of capturing footage & a bigger screen, but honestly, it kind of defeats the purpose of a handheld for me. Super Game Boy was kind of amazing to me as a kid, but then when I got the GBA Player, I barely used it because it felt pointless since I'd just play it on the GBA itself. Though it did come in handy when I was trying to unlock e-Reader content like the Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4 levels & power-ups.

I have one and I use it for exactly those reasons: to play Vita games on a bigger screen and to be able to capture them. I can also use it to remote play PS4 games if needed.

I really like the Vita system but it's not ergonomic to hold. So, being able to play P4G or Killzone: Mercenary using a DualShock 4 is great.

No, I hooked it up and an hour later angerly put it back in the box

Do you have a vita?

I own 2 Vita's- a 1000 and a 2000. I'm probably going to sell the 1000 soon, as the form factor of the 2000 makes it enough of an improvement over DAT OLED to be the primary system

Crunchyroll works though!
I own a billion devices to do Netflix on, that wasn't a dealbreaker

The PSP stuff is what killed it for me. Stuff that works on the Vita doesn't work on this. One of the reasons I bought this was to play Dracula X Chronicles on TV- it's not compatable. There are also tons of Vita games that work on the JPN version, but not on the US version (Lumines, i'm looking at you!)

And as far as Vita games that it does support, it's not really worth it. I played about half an hour of Killzone Mercenary- it looks really rough and moves jerkely (is that a word?), and it just makes me want to buy Killzone PS4 instead.

I could see a use for PS (Vita) TV if you didn't have a Vita and wanted one but didn't think you'd play it anywhere but home, Vita/PS4 stream on the big screen, or you didn't have a device that did streaming

The first two are quite niche as is and the 3rd is pretty much next to impossible as everything streams online video right out of the box. To me, it's a novel idea that will sell miserably to a very small group of people. It'd be great if it did well, but Sony is trying to tap an already over saturated market and while I love my Vita, there aren't a ton of people who share that opinion.

Went to the Studio Bones showcase today which featured two episodes of Space Dandy followed by a Q+A with President Minami.

- Left out ideas for Space Dandy; would have liked to have done an hot springs ep with mixed bathing but would have been filled with aliens. When questioned why when every anime under the sun has such an episode, he joked that that way, he could have gone to an onsen for research purposes in the same way that he and the team visited several Hooters bars for research for the Boobies restaurant.

From a recent event with the President of Studio BONES.

Amazing. I hope we see this if we get a third season or something.

Watch it be an OVA episode or something. Though holy crap, got a good laugh out of the logic as to why they wanted to do the episode.

Wait, does this mean tonight is when we FINALLY get to hear about Robin's past? Like, no teases or just a minute while something else happens? We're actually gonna get told the reason why she was being hunted down & such?

I think it's a three or so episode flashback, but yes you'll finally find out why shit's been going down the way it has.

Yes. Research....

I like the way they think. It's no surprise that they made Space Dandy with comments like that.

Yep. The beginning of it anyways.

I wonder how a 3 episode flashback is going to effect its ratings

Not as much as the 5 episode recap that comes after it, I'd wager.

The next 4 episodes are top tier episodes, so I wouldn't worry. Episode 278 in particular is probably in a short list of best episodes in the series (a little unfair, though, as it was an hour special with 277 in its original broadcast, which won't be the case here).
 
Oh god, I forgot about those. Any chance DeMarco skips them?

i think they might actually be beneficial in this case, though if people will stick around to watch them is anyone's guess. i can't predict an audience that will actually sit through garbage like the last Shippuden episode.

Considering OP started a decent amount into the series, it'll probably help fill some people in. Not to mention, it's been so damn long since I've seen anything relating to the Alabasta arc or earlier, so it'll be kind of a trip down memory lane, but with better voice actors & no censoring stupid stuff.

I'm excited for the start of Robin's backstory, especially after the hype from last week. That scene in particular is one of the most hype scene in the entire anime. I literally fist pumped the air when they all showed up on the roof to save Robin.

That is one of the best moments in One Piece thus far for sure
