I'm jelly. The only Baccano! bluray I can find is in French and Japanese. Damn Quebecois.

You still need to watch Baccano! dub! I didn't even know there was a Baccano! Blu-Ray set, I only have the Anime Classics DVD set that Funimation released.

And holy crap at Steins;gate being 80$ per part for you :(. I paid 35$ per part I think and was well worth it, but 80$ each is so much money.

The Anime Classics re-release has both parts of Steins;Gate in one release, so it's cheaper to get this version than both parts separately. I'll probably pick this one up at some point.

Yeah I already preordered it :D. Already got both the original Blue Ray releases, but I can never have enough Steins;gate so I'm getting this also.

What's gonna be different in the re-release? Mine is already a Blu-ray/DVD combo? Hell I'm probably gonna buy it again even if it's just a new bluray cover lol.

I definitely plan to rewatch the dub. I'm so confused going through it the first time. The fact that the narrative is told out of order and there are so many characters makes it really hard to follow. Watching it a second time in a language I understand will definitely be a much better experience.

Persona 4 The Golden Animation 3

Who punched Yukiko in the face?

Episode was really enjoyable until it decided to get philosophical, but even then, those were alright too.
 
Steins;Gate is that show I'm never going to watch because Bravely Default.

I'll admit that I've never seen Steins;Gate, but what does Bravely Default have to do with it?


(read this if you don't mind being spoiled)
both deal with time travel and repeating the same events over and over again. Also I think same writer

Though Corvo if you're serious, I will eat you. Because seriously dawg, Steins Gate is fucking great. They deal with the
time travel
in a much better way than Bravely Default or Haruhi. Like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Man, I should've listened to you guys and started Tonari no Seki-kun sooner.

I'm dying laughing lol

They bumped up the price for the P&S release from like $22 to $30.

Which still ain't bad, but it happened. I'm in the same boat as you for S;G though.

Hell yeah!

And here I thought Bravely Default was a good game.
Well, I feel good now, since I have no 3DS in the first place, but a Vita.
HAHAHAHA!
Hahaha
Haha

Ohhhhhhh. Now I get it.

But wasn't the main problem with Bravely Default mostly on the fact that
it made you replay the game over and over with little plot advancement each time?

I'm pretty sure an anime won't put you through that kind of madness.

Yeah if this was the issue, it sounds like that's on the developers for making that questionable decision, and the task fell on the writer to make it work in-universe somehow.
 
Momo Kyun Sword 03

Momo confirmed for getting wrecked next episode.

Locodol 03

They are going to figure her out on the next episode I guarantee it.

Zankyou no Terror 03

Old grizzled detective and the rest of the police force is the only reason to keep watching this show. I pray he gets punch out the MCs by the end of this.

Bravely Default

I still give the game a solid 8.
 
Bravely Default was a fun game for what it was. I liked it but I stopped playing before the part that gets highly criticized. I had my fill of the combat system and the story just wasn't interesting enough to keep playing so I've resolved to the fact that I'm done with the game and I'll probably never finish it. (I do plan to return to it at some point)
 
Hey animegaf, I am thinking of watching Shakugan no Shana. I watched the first season a very long time ago and never finished the second season or Final. I know this was a LN, so how well does is the anime story wise compare to the LN? Does the anime have an original ending or does it match up with the LN ending?

this is exactly me, won't be buying Bravely Second
 
Guys I'm on Bravely Default Chapter 4 stop scaring me plz

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Be ready for chapter 5 breh, chapter 4 I still liked the game. Then chapter 5 came and slapped its nipple on my face.

Chapter 5 is Chariot.

The hate this game has gotten is alarming considering it looks great. Something about chapter 5 or something like that.......what happens briefly? I don't care about spoilers, I was never planning on getting it in the first place.

chapter 5 and onward is replaying the same bosses and side battles over and over again, with nothing happening in the plot besides "hey let's do it all over again uguuuu~"
 
stop reminding me that i spent money on bravely default

Wow, they really did that? That sucks.

Still have a handful of Anime Classics releases that I'm planning on picking up. Texhnolyze is at the top of my list, though I also want to get that complete Spice and Wolf set.

Starting with Chapter 5, you have to repeat the same set of boss fights until chapter 9. Very repetitive. I gave up around chapter 7.
 
Psycho Pass Extended Edition Episode 3

The Kagari Akane cooking scene was more enjoyable than I remember, or maybe it was the comedy for it too, her line questioning the purpose of the wine and Kagari's face was the best moment.

Radio scene for Sasayama in the start of the episode was pretty chilling.

Actually read up on it.......wow thats bad. How can any competent developer make such a stupid decision.
 
I kind of want to get Bravely Default but then I don't.

I say get it if you're hankering for some classic FF turn based combat. The job system is great and it encourages you to take multiple jobs for each character. There are a lot of classes and plenty of different strategies to use if you're so inclined.

If you're looking for a good story or characters don't bother. A lot of people had problems with one of the main characters but that may have been a dub issue. I personally didn't have any problems with her playing with the Japanese voices on. The story is really uninteresting and only serves the purpose of pushing you forward into different areas to fight more baddies.

The art is great if you're into the chibi style. The backgrounds look good but its style is ruined by the low res textures.

It's a mixed bag but I got 25+ hours out of it before I got bored so I think it was worth the money I spent.
