Persona 3 FES


Should I watch the movies the in game anime cutscenes were some of the worst I have ever seen besides the opening one

are you ready to wait ages? Part 1 was great, part 2 comes out on blu-ray early next month and part 3 comes out on japanese theaters not too far off. The issue was that the part 2 blu-ray took like 8+ months to come out if not more. If you have the means to play the game do so.

Blue Exorcist the Movie

I thought it was OK. Still the same dumb writing and characterization that made the series more of a slug to go through. The visuals and the Animation were terrific which elevates it a lot, but its a run-of-the-mill shonen clichee of Anime.

But I have to say, some of those Background arts were bloody gorgeous.

6/10

Hey Narag, want to make a bet?

I beat the game last night just wondering if there was any reason to watch the movies

I'm probably gonna skip NG+ and The Answer and just YouTube that stuff because if I have to play more of that battle system my head will explode

 

[Mature]

I wish GITS Arise was really good. =(

And let us never speak of it again.

The cat is back.

 

[firehawk12]

They should get ScarJo to do the dub of Arise.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Ah. Well if you just beat the game I personally wouldn't see a reason as the only reason I care about the films is because it's been a while and P5 got me hyped for Persona. The movie looks pretty enough I guess. And yeah FES doesn't allow you to control party members right? P4G spoiled me I can't go back to that.

If you want to see a nice looking version of the P3 cutscenes and can deal with a mopily-played MC and drama shoehorned into boss battles it's a decent experience.

Guess I'll skip it then.
SMT anime don't seem to be very good anyway (DeSu2 cough cough)

If you finish the game, i think the only reason you want to watch the movie is just to see how they animate the persona fight and see the protag presentation in the movie.
Unlike Yu "Swag" Narukami, Makoto don't have much of a personality in part 1. The movie skip S.Link content and focus on the main story. There's a few cool scene here and there (YMMV). overall, I think the movie is just average and feel very rushed.

I pretty like this Disappearance of Yuki Nagato anime design.

I pretty like this Disappearance of Yuki Nagato anime design.

Which studio is doing this again?

 

[faridmon]

Meh, art always looks interesting until they decide to add colour to it. I am gonna wait and see how it turns out in animated form

 

[Clov]

Which studio is doing this again?

Satelight. It's... a step down, for sure. I'll still give it a shot, though.

 

[Envelope]

still better than the source deserves

KyoAni too busy making more moe shows that no one will remember.

Nagato > your favourite Haruhi

 

[striferser]

Yeah it's the worst shit ever I don't know what they were thinking

I think most party member AI are fine, except Mitsuru.
Mitsuru AI is so ridiculous, a certain mangaka decide to make fun of it

 

[Envelope]

KyoAni too busy making more moe shows that no one will remember.


Nagato > your favourite Haruhi

being the least bad of the haruhis means nothing when they're all some of the worst characters ever created

Only reason to watch the show anyways is Kyon. Gintoki-san <3

They are actually developing Makoto's personality in the Movies. You actually see him create a closer bond with his teammates. Fuck I mean in the recent trailer you actually see him hug Aigis. So yeah he isn't actually devoid of a personality, you see him grow as a character.

Yeah it's the worst shit ever I don't know what they were thinking

What? I'd say the Movies are well worth your time. Going by the first Movie it is by far the best anime adaption of the persona series or SMT in general.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The Persona 3 movies are fantastic. Significantly better than the relative garbage that were the P4 anime adaptations, overall.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Maybe I'll watch em then

If I remember

Wasn't that the whole point? Most of part 1 paints him as the emotionless "I don't care" personality until he gets called out on it and then learns how to feel emotions.

You better remember, this isn't a game. &#128548;

Yeah. And I feel like the apathetic demeanor was always meant to be his "canon" personality, based on his design, body language, and the dialogue options he gets (Compare to P3's FeMC who gets far more energetic and upbeat dialogue options as a rule)

I know, that's why i specifically mention part 1. The character development is not fleshed enough IMO. Not enough screentime for all the characters and all that.

Yeah, but i wish they handle it better though.

So will I bro. So will I

Makes me curious as I loved the P4 shows. Though I've never played the games so I guess my perspective is different.

 

[AquaWateria]

This one of the many reasons why I prefer Makoto to Yu imo because you actually see Makoto develop as a character, unlike Yu where everyone jumps on his ass because muh swag. I mean even Yosuke wants some of Yu with his cheesy partner shit.

The details on the GitS Arise TV series are finally out. It's a ten episode series, remixing the existing Arise episodes into two episodes each, with two brand new episodes at end. They're reordering them too, since it starts with the final Arise story with the team together so audiences can see familiar faces, then they'll explore how they were recruited after that. The entire TV project is meant to be a lead-in for the new GitS film this Summer, so yeah, that's 100% Arise continuity now. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Thanks for the garbage, PIG.

Between this and Death Parade, I'm really enjoying this season ~chu.

Catch up to Dog Days'' de arimasu.

And let us never speak of it again.

I will never forget de arimasu.

I like how if I switched him out for Shiny Luminous, it would still be the same thing

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Yu and Minato/Makoto/Door-kun don't really have much of a personality, beyond Yu being a swagmaster because of all those memes. But SMT protags are always just blank slates for the most part, except for Raidou, I think

Potter-kun at least looks like he has one. Doubt it though

 

[faridmon]

So will I bro. So will I

*Bro-fist*

Having trouble deciding what to watch next: Tsuritama, .hack//Sign, or Uchouten Kazoku. Any suggestions?

Out of those 3, I have enjoyed Tsuritama. I would recommend that.

Uchouten Kazoku

Uchoten Kazoku
Tsuritama is also good, but i like Uchoten Kazoku better.

.hack//sign while you can enjoy the story, there are several plot thread that are resolved in the video game

Cross Ange 1-3

Sucks

Cross Ange 4-5

I like it.

 

[Thoraxes]

As far as I know, it's in line with Funimation's regular prices. The limited edition is more expensive, but doesn't have a soundtrack, I think. It's not the whole series though, just the first season. Second season isn't up for preorder yet, as far as I know.

It's not really that expensive though, unless we are entering an age when even Funimation releases are considered too expensive. Are buyers waiting for the industry to crash again, to try and grab their favorite titles for a few dollars each?

Spoiler

My standard LE for first release is ~$37 with my Got Anime discount and shipping. Chump change as far as far as anime pricing is concerned.

Yuri Kuma arashi - 07

Now i'm just waiting for inévitable twist when it'll be revealed that

Spoiler

the headmaster is a bear too and she was the one who pulled the strings and killed kureha mother

I mean you know this twist is coming, right ?

I could've told you that like 5 weeks ago. Her

Spoiler

hair (beehive style) and position at the school (interpret as queen bee of the hive)

gave it away all the way back from her first conversation in episode 2 and the first scene of episode 3. The names too.

 

[MikeHattsu]

I will always remember Tamako Market, always

That shitty bird

Spoiler

Not even that can make up for her going full devil. It just feels like the studio/director/someone was like 'no! we can't end this series because it is a cash cow and must continue!' Waste of time. The only good part was Kyubey finally getting curb-stomped.

Kyubey did nothing wrong.

 

[Quasar]

That shitty bird

Liked the movie though. Not that I hated the show....just liked it in spite of the bird.

 

[Quasar]

Uchouten Kazoku

Yeah. My favourite anime of 2013.

 

[Turin Turambar]

First and third. In whatever order you want.

Tsuritama is the best show from those,

Tsuritama is pretty passable. Go for that.
