rose_of_painKinda sad how my LJ is mostly just about the anime/manga I watch/read, especially as not many on my FL read or watch the same stuff. XD But I feel the need to talk about it anyways...not sure why.
Anywho, Persona 4 Episode 4 - Absolutely LOVED this episode soooo much. I mean I've been loving the whole series so far but this episode really made me happy. Just every single aspect of it. I loved the addition of the whole bird story. I don't remember that in the game but I could be wrong and maybe she did mention it at some point. The sad thing is that I did in fact max out Yukiko's Social Link but I don't remember much of what she said. Hell I don't remember much of the details any of the links other than Yosuke's. >>;; Shows where my bias lies. lol But oh man, this episode reminded me just how much I do love Chie/Yukiko. <3 And I'm glad they made the fight a bit longer in this just 'cause that was the first fight I had a really hard time with in the game. In fact was one of the hardest for me to beat of all the boss fights. Maybe it was just 'cause it was the first one and I hadn't quite worked out a good leveling up system but it took me forever. x_x Kept having to go back and level up so I wouldn't get creamed. And really I feel like that fight is the first REAL boss fight. 'Cause Yosuke's shadow is more of just part of the intro to the game and Chie's serves as the half-way point fight in Yukiko's dungeon. While Yukiko's is the first boss fight at the end of a dungeon. But yeah I really felt like the episode added even more to the dynamics between Yukiko and Chie and it was wonderful~ ^^ Also happy they kept in the whole silly glasses bit at the end. XD Also like how Souji's stats keep going up each episode. lol And how they work in the additional Personas. And love the whole idea of them feeling the same pain when their Persona gets attacked! Since in the game they really are separate during the fights. Its more like a Summon while in the anime, they seem more linked.
And very excited to see that the next episode focuses on some of the NPC social links, it seems. ^^ At least def saw a bit of Daisuke's and Ai's in the teaser. I thought they would probably just go straight into Kanji. But this gives me more hope that maybe it'll be a full 24 instead of just 12 episodes. Really hope they put in the School Festival and maybe the Camping Field Trip. XD
And I did finally watch the first two episodes of Last Exile: Fam and not sure what to think yet. I'll give it a few more episodes before I start forming a real opinion to give it a chance but right now not really liking the fact that I don't really know who anyone is despite it being the 2nd episode. I just mean, i don't feel connected yet to anyone like I did with Klaus and Lavi right from the start in the original. I'm having a much harder time being able to get Fam and Gisey's characters. Mostly 'cause it just seems so unrealistic for a characters that young to be that skilled and know that much about the dynamics of air travel and all. Unless they're older than I think and just look really young. That and I'm still confused how things got the way they are since the previous series. Hoping for an explanation...eventually. But things already seem to be going into this new plotline and ignoring that. >> I want to know how Dio survived and why he's with these characters. And what happened to our gang from the original series. Also not enjoying how the majority of the cast is really young. I prefer older characters, especially in a series like this.
And ah...just read that Fam and Gisey are actually 15...wtf, they look like they're 12. x_x But at least that age makes more sense. Sorta. lol But hopefully things will get cleared up. I'm at least willing to give it a chance as the plot does seem like it could get pretty good. If they at least develop the characters at some point.
