I do wonder where the book series went.

I would never really think that Persona 3/4 would make good adaptation material. 75% of those games is mundane crap and it doesn't really feel right if its just important scene -> important scene, let alone all the choices you make like who you hang out with and stuff.
Don't feel bitter, the Akagi vs Washizu match is still going. I peak into the manga every so often to see whats going on and man, Fukumoto is THE MASTER of dragging shit out. No one else even comes close.

I remember watching a Shin Megami Tensei anime once. It was kinda like porn. Lol.

Persona 4: Golden anime was alright. It was kind of weird seeing one of my favorite video games ever in anime form.

I mean, it doesn't end right in the middle of a conflict. It ends with an arc.
But there's still a ton of lingering plot threads and even a sort of indication that the story is only just beginning. No, it wouldn't be total bullshit like ending in the middle of a game or something, but it would be completely unsatisfying for all parties involved in the same way a manga that gets cancelled is.

Most games are bad for adaptation, simply because their stories have so much padding that comes off poorly when you try to fashion it into a linear narrative without player interaction. The only good game-based anime I've seen are ones that are only loosely based on a game and aren't trying to do a direct adaptation.
Didn't the match just recently come to an end? At least, that's what I read in MangaGAF.
I just can't understand how it can keep going. By the time the anime ends, the mahjong match is like 1/3 to 1/2 of the way done.

Yeah but then Washizu recovered for like the fourth time
Tons and tons of metaphors.

"There's no plot, how would you do a SMT/Bloodborn/Dark Souls anime?!"
Are y'all serious? You have the world, you have the lore, you have a couple of named characters. Like instead of trying to cling on to a plot already written for you, just write your own that could conceivable take place in that world. It would just be a loose adaptation of the game rather than trying to hit all the plot points" in the title istelf. Y'all of you have no god damn imagination

So 3/4 of the manga panels are extended metaphors or something? XD
I loved the bar sequences in Catherine. Very relaxing and that trivia.
Some of that might be people trying to figure out why the last two episodes haven't been as fulfilling as the ones before, and not quite putting their finger on the reason.
I can enjoy a good thriller. I'll defend Terror in Resonance more than most, and that's definitely part of the genre. And what set it apart (when it was good) was that it executed its material so well. Poor execution inevitably exposes the artifice at the heart of any of these kinds of stories, reducing the audience's investment and the resulting emotional response.
I was enjoying Erased to the extent I was because it was executing incredibly well, for a lot of small reasons that people chronicled in various posts. I don't think it's necessarily impossible to present the show's recent material just as well as what came before (thought it might be impossible to do it in two episodes), but that didn't happen. The direction has descended to being merely serviceable, and so the show is now just pretty great instead of being possible AOTY material.

Nah it's good episode, in fact i like present day more because feels more exciting, but both timeline are great since beginning anyway.

Go read it, you can get what you missed from anime.
Its funny. In a way I thinks its due to anime that I judge western tv more harshly. Untill this year it seemed like almost nothing was being made that lined up with my interests whilst with anime since I got in a few years ago thetes always been a bunch of stuff relevant to my interests. Already I'd say this year US tv has had the most thing I'm interested in in maybe 5-6 years. Maybe longer.

Remember, all adaptations have to be exactly the same and present no deviation or imagination from the source material.

When did I say adaptations have to be faithful? I like plenty of adaptations that go in a different direction.
Remakes that go from turn-based to action on the other hand? Fuck that.

A match that has continued for like a decade.
No matter how many times I hear this my brain wants to explode from the sheer insanity of this fact.

The Washizu arc was invented so people could truly understand the concept of eternity.

Fukumoto often dedicate multiple pages for nothing but monologue (no image, just black background and words) and image of people distorted, thrown into hell, stuck in a sandpit, crossing a bridge, jesus revival, blown by a bomb, stab by a dagger, akagi and washizu smug, sweating, pale face, and the audience going 'WTF IS GOING ON!' Then there's the mahjong part. He dictate every hands that come into play.

Make a anime about people play Dark Souls, just like PSO2 lol.

Seriously? Is Fukumoto trying to keep this Washizu match going until he dies? The man doesn't know when to stop.

It's not impossible to take the lore from one of these games and make a good anime out of it, but it'd require an imaginative director who is skilled with atmosphere and brave enough to make a lonely, desolate series, as well as a production committee that's willing to give free rein to the anime staff. That's a highly unlikely situation. I'd rather someone try to make an original anime incorporating some of the qualities people like from SMT and Souls. No need to pull in the game IP.
Yeah, but ten years man. Teeeenn yeaaarrsss.

Well the Chimera Ants arc ran for 9 years (not consistently) and Steel Ball Run for 7 so it's not that outlandish.
No, you mean invented to destroy people's mind with the concept of eternity as their brain gets overloaded with a concept not meant for humanity to grasp.
No wonder Chimera Ants arc was so freaking annoying. XD
Those weren't mahjong matches.
I love that he can do this and that it exists.

That Batman vs Supermanawn of Justice trailer, holy fuck does it look good.
Also does Batman's fighting style look similar to the Arkham games?

If you are like Fukumoto you can drag out a Mahjong match for waaaay longer then a race or palace invasion, going into explicit detail about every tile and play you could make.
Man I should read Akagi.
That Batman vs Superman
Zack Snyder is a hack fraud!
This too. There are 6 rounds. How long must the other rounds have been extended when when the anime covered around half of it?

Funny thing about Akagi is that its a spinoff of Ten which ran from 1989-2002 while Akagi started in 1992 so Akagi has actually OUTLIVED its own father series.
I really wish there was a new Fukumoto adaptation, of anything. I really love the Akagi and Kaiji anime.
