it's an official subbed release on youtube, well worth a half hour of your time

Oh man, Little Witch Academia. I saw that about a week ago, it's awesome - especially considering it was made to train young animators.
Speaking of those guys (Trigger), they have this in the works. Looks pretty damn cool so far, plus they said it's going to be even more intense than GL.

Overrated anime(s)? Sure why not.

- Hidimari Sketch
- Elfin Lied
- Naruto
- Bleach
- Death Note
- K-On
- Haruhi Suzumiya

too lazy to spell check the ones i misspelled.

I've given them all a shot and dropped them aside from Bleach, Haruhi, and Death Note. Watched DN & HS all the way through and just recently finished off the Bleach anime to have some closure(though I'm still keeping up with the ever so drawn out manga). Nartuo isn't really my deal seeing how I dropped it when it got filler heavy. The first few seasons are not bad but it just gets worse after that. Sketch is beyond uguu~ and K-On just takes the kawai stuff too far for me. Just couldn't do it. I don't hate them, just don't really care to ever see them pop up in a discussion anywhere ever again in the history of ever.

Considering there's no games in existence for the vita and a PS2 is a lot cheaper, I'd say get the PS2 version instead.

But the vita version has a new character to add to your party D:

Similar list for me. I love haruhi but it's way overrated, esp death note. I really do enjoy k-on though.

i'd add to that list though

code geass, clannad AS, lucky star, oreimo, flcl maybe, and when they cry higurashi.

I love most of those (ambivalent about clannad + oreimo, and hated higurashi, eugh), but they're still a bit overrated in general i reckon

Maybe even neon genesis evangelion. It changed the face of anime, but when you remove historical context it's not actually that great, and the amount of adulation it gets is a little overkill imo.

Not really when it seems to get nothing but hate these days. No one seems to like it outside of /a/ any more. I think the new movies are overshadowing the original sadly.

I kind of hate k-on, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. It's a bunch of ditsy airhead twats doing literally nothing for a dozen episodes, then getting on a stage and suddenly playing like pros, even though the guitarist never even held an instrument until about a week before and never practiced. It's got nothing to do with music or what it's like being in a band. I expected a music anime and I got moe blobs being obnoxious.

Unrelated, but can anyone recommend anime that have the same feel as tarantino films?

and "gantz" and "gurren lagann" to it

lolwut. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were far better than Inglorious Basterds.

Anime rocks!
Shingeki no Kyojin one of the top anime and the contents of anime fan posts and talks. What do you guys think about that? Do you like Shingeki no Kyojin(Attack on Titan)? I, personally loved the anime. It's awesome, unique, contains cool characters, plot twists, and more. There's so much things going on. I think that are things that made the show popular. Thoughts?

I'm just going on spree on Netflix. I finished Soul Eater infinitely faster than I would have on Toonami. Now im watching Afro Samurai, after that I find Trigun interesting. Dunno what im going to check out after that.

If your talking about Marie, you can't add her to your party. Unless I overlooked someone

Can you be her friend? Doing so unlocks new personas doesn't it?

I made her my girlfriend...then I restarted from my last save point and took advantage of that fine ass Yukiko Amagi. But ya maxing out any social links gives you new unlockable personas. But only with party members can maxing social links get you transformed personas. Also if you continue spending time with someone with a maxed social link it then transforms the transformed persona

Do you know Gintama?

Why not Naoto? :3

Do you get new personas or powers from dating as well? I know an awful lot about the lore and how the game works thanks to Persona 4 Arena and how unsubtly they blurt everything out, even in the menu. Hell I think I learned the most from the character select screen.

The personas you get from maxing out your links from dating are the same as the ones you would get from maxing out as friends. The only perks were when Valentines day came around and Yukiko and Brotagonist go to the beach where she tells him how much she loves and appreciates him etc etc. Also do you have P4A for xbox or ps3? we should play together!

I have it on PS3. My main is Kanji Tatsumi, my backup is Yukiko.

Thats a shame. i have it on xbox. my main is chie, followed by yu narukami. then yukiko

On a related topic does anybody buy figures.......cuz I do

So I just finished Trigun.
It started off as the misadventures of the worlds dumbest and unluckiest man but got pretty dark around the the moment the main villain was introduces roughly halfway through. I liked it though, it was a good show.

And out of the roll of the dice I am now watching Squid girl...Just because. It's good. I've seen two episodes so far.

I like to stick with Playstation and Nintendo when it comes to games because I like to play JRPG's every now and again and those only show up on PS and Nintendo. Games like Disgaea, Odin sphere, Hyperdimention Neptunia, etc etc. don't show up on Xbox. Not to mention Xbox doesn't get any of the class Final Fantasy games.
I thought you would own a Playstation for the same reason :\

Well to make up for that I usually download with a 360 controller on my computer. If i ever need JRPGS's I usually stick to my wii, vita or 3ds. I don't like most console RPG's and wasn't really a fan of FF after X

I would if I had more disposable income. I'd like to buy an Eva and maybe a ship or something from cowbop, for some reason I'm only interested in mechs and vehicles rather than figures of the actual characters.

Is there anything besides Persona 4 that's worth getting on the Vita?

I actually have an Eva mech one where you have to take the pieces and construct the weaponry (like a model). Little fucker took me two hours to finish
Other than that it is just character figures

Umvc3 is garbage, too much salf in that game. It's hardly any fun to play.

I might start watching Fairy tale. I've been hearing some good things about it from my friend, anybody know where I can watch it?
