If your looking to get books/light novels Kinokuniya is pretty awesome.

Ooh, what do they ship with now?
Oh boo, I guess they don't ship some games out of the country. :lol

Don't worry guys I'll buy it even though I've never really played a Persona game and mock you!

Well I've already owned 3 FES for about over a year now. Also NCSX will be the place to go to Sora no Woto when they put up the pre-order.firehawk12 said:

I'm sorry guys but Gemini is calling me.
How much was it on Amazon? Amiami has the limited edition for 3560 yen. They usually have good prices on games in my experience. I got my Ketsui LE for like $60 (+$19ish shipping) and it's like $110+ everywhere else I've checked!firehawk12 said:
Also I just put that yen amount into a converter and holy shit the exchange rate sucks. I probably won't be getting my J360 this year.
Looks like that Ketsui LE of mine is going to stay unopened for awhile.InfiniteNine

A game inside my game and I can talk like Kirino? Sounds like a good deal!

I finally got around to watching Panty and Stocking now that it is free for us peons, and I'm not really sure what to think. It started off pretty weak, and it seems kind of one note, but the second half got stronger towards the end. I'll at least give it another episode or two. It's about what I expected, quality wise.

It seems to be out everywhere already, so I have no idea. I haven't been able to find any English language impressions of it either... but that's probably because no one cares about the game I suppose.
Also, just get Persona 4 and play that!
Aigis said:
Ah, that's not bad. The normal edition on Amazon was 2500 yen I think, but it was also their last copy. I'll keep that site in mind though - it's the first I've heard of it!

A VN about a person who plays VNs featuring a girl who plays VNs. Rabbit hole indeed.

Currently watching Macross : DYRL and its very interesting seeing the changes they made from the TV series so far.
I'm sad they

Will keep on watching.
I'm sad they

Will keep on watching.

I think he means as in sort of following Panty and Stocking or perhaps just in this general thread as opposed to the larger ones, I don't think he meant "here" in the context of existing.Branduil said:
I'm convinced I'm now trapped in some kind of parody world, only way I can see people actually thinking Star Driver's fabulous(by any take on the word) or Panty and Stocking(yeah finally caught the first ep) is funny, it's like we just have to like something. But I can't talk as I'll probably get some kind of enjoyment out of Index.
Is Subaru a girl or not? I'm still not sure either way.

I was simply referring to the great culture wars of...last night.Branduil said:
I barely noticed the script in this weeks P&S, although one line that irked me was about the girl saying her name was Barbie, and then either Panty or Stocking mentioned that there's a doll with the same name.
You shouldn't really point out the joke by having a character explain it.
Were the skin color threads that important to GAF?Jexhius said:
I didn't think the jokes had the same problem in P&S 2 as in the first episode, they had whole new ones. Like being parodies of stories we've already seen a million times and have been parodied a million times. The stone has been squeezed, the horse is dead. And certainly there is no drama in any of the stories since the characters are cynically manufactured cliches. None of this would be a problem if it was actually funny, but there's just nothing particularly laugh-inducing. I think part of the problem is that everything is so surreal and fake. You could make the argument that absurd situations are what the humor is, but, to me, that only works in contrast to some sense of normality. If everything in the universe is absurd, nothing is.
And even the animation's novelty feels like it's starting to wear off.

The normalcy is found in the context of anime as a whole, surely?
Given how much intertext works in anime, especially comedies, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Well, people keep saying it's funny and entertaining so that's presumably how it works for them.firehawk12 said:
It's interesting, as 2B or 4 or 2.2 or whatever showed, there wasn't really a set format for how the show would work. Ghosts aren't even necessary.

Well, to bring up PPG again, I'm pretty sure there was an episode where the sisters fought and made up with each other (or maybe they fought with the professor, same dif I suppose).
Certainly the episode felt familiar anyway.

Just finished DYRL and it was interesting.
I prefer the TV series though since it had time to flesh out some stuff but the movie was cool with that extra/different stuff plus they had a limited time to work with. The animation was great and i'm surprised the went out a bit with some of the violence/gore (
)
Some of the differences were sad though
Plus Kakizaki.......dude, messed up way to go :lol :lol

Roy's death was so out of nowhere... shit just caught me off guard. "Hey everyone, I'm Kakizaki and this is my second line in the mo-UGHHHH" *boom*. Epic tramp slap was epic.
And damn, did Max just get more awesome? I love how during all of his fights he's never actually afraid or threatened. He just makes "oh shit! that was kinda close lol" faces throughout the movie :lol

Suffice to say, I mainly learnt that eventually I will run out of names for all the film techniques that Shinbo uses. In episode one I noticed :
Extreme Long Shot, Long Shot, Medium Long Shot, Medium Shot, Close Up, Extreme Close Up. Establishing Shot, POV, Pulling Focus, Slow Motion (these last three were all combined!)
Tracking Shot/Dolly Shot, Discontinuity Editing, Continuity Editing, On screen timer
Chiaroscuro lighting, Low Key Lighting, High Key lighting.
Steady cam, Rapid Editing, Slow editing, Low Angle shot, High Angle shot, Birds Eye View
Match on action, matte shot , soft lighting, tilt, pan, time lapse, Kuleshov effect
Strange framing devices, Deep focus, Distored Mise-En-Scene, Repeated geometric shapes, Reaction shot, Hard lighting, tight framing, masking, extreme low angle
Dolly Zoom (traditional), Dolly Zoom (reverse), "smash cut". Canted/Inverse camera, Canted/Sideways camera, Canted+Extreme contrast, tracking shot mounted on bicycle, heavy masking, eyeline match, stage lighting, off-screen space.
And various other things that have no names because cameras cant usually move that way without breaking in half. Such as the Dolly Zoom to Extreme Low-Angle Reverse Dolly Zoom.
