Yah my point is I waste a lot of my time and moneys on P4 but I gave up on both anime eventually lol The weirdest thing about it is I know a lot of people who watched the anime without ever playing the game and really liked it? But as someone who loved the game with my whole heart I just was cringing the whole time

For example in Golden, Yu, Chie, Yosuke, Yukiko, and Teddie all became friends and had been fighting shadows together in the first episode... so they tried to squeeze in Yu moving to Inaba, befriending them, finding out about the TV world, and accepting that they had to fight the shadows within the first like 30 min episode.

The pacing was just so freaking bad that it almost took my utter suspension of disbelief to make it to episode

At least in Persona 4 the Animation (which is the more watchable of the 2 by FAR) they devote the first 5 episodes to this

I think Persona 4 is just sooooo rich in character development that there was no real way to make an anime about it that stayed true to that unless you literally had it like 100 episodes long. Because in order to introduce everyone and stick to the plot for a 25 episode anime, they literally had to skip from battle to battle, missing almost all of the amazing social interaction and character development.

The strange thing is that Persona 3 was made into movies instead of anime, and for whatever reason those movies are actually pretty watchable and true to the story. Which doesnt make sense - if they can contain that story in 4 movies, then theoretically P4 Animation should have had potential to be even better. I guess just a crappy studio got their hands on it

I think it was just too rushed. It could have been way better if there were just more episodes and it was less rushed. But there is one thing I absolutely love about the animation though: Yuu Narukami aka Johnny Yong Bosch. I think he had lots of fun voicing him. I just can't take the whole animation seriously because of him. They made the best choice with the character and the dub voice actor. I laughed the whole time. Except that one episode. Man, Johnny is really good with sad moments. I really teared up.

I personally didnt like them picking JYB for Yu since he does the voice of Adachi, too, and the two sound so similar. JYB is a great Adachi but I just didnt buy his Yu performance

Its always kinda weird to me in dubs when they pick the same voice actor for two really major characters? Especially two characters that have conversations with each other...

I don't really notice if a voice actor does two roles, only if someone points it out, then I start to notice XD. I only have some voice actors that I can tell apart from everyone else most of the time. I have a game where a voice actor did three main roles (there was a reason for that), but he did a good job with giving every character a different personality.

Thinking about buying battle royale (manga) if I can find it at barnes and noble. Has anyone read any part of it to see if it is worth it?
Also if youve been to an anime convention I want to know what it is like, thinking about going to one this summer.

i believe p4 the golden animation was made separate because the added things to p4g and the animation is more of just memories until MC leaves inaba. i could be wrong i haven't seen both anime for it but i've played persona 4 golden and seen like up to ep 6 of persona the golden animation tho

oomgggg i love kanji too got me wishing he was dateable in p4

Yah but Persona 4 Golden was waaayyyy waayyyyy wayyyyy into development when the P4 anime starting airing so why not just wait like not even a year and then release one anime that tells the whole story? Lol

idk what that has to do with anime (?) but Ive read Battle Royale and it's really good if you're into dystopian or horror novels ~

I've been to lots of anime convetions, and the amount of fun had definitely depends on how big the convention is. Small conventions or new conventions tend to not be as fun. But the typical format for all anime cons is they have panels, which is basically like either fans or guests come in and talk about the topic. Usually the panels are on a variety of topics. For example, the anime con I'm going to in 2 weeks has panels on teaching different cosplay skills, or there will be a panel discussing classic toonami anime, or a panel comparing remake anime to the original. Basically you look at the schedule for panels that are about topics you're interested in, and then you go in and sit to have fun or learn stuff ~ Anime conventions also always have a dealer's hall where official merchandise is sold by vendors who buy booths. And there is usually an artist alley, too, where artists buy a table and try to sell their own art and crafts, as well as some fanmade stuff or fanart.

If you are staying in a con that is in or attached to a hotel, the con usually has stuff going on late into the night. Many anime cons have 18+ panels after dark. Some of my favorites from the anime cons I go to are Dub Your Own Hentai or the Yaoi Slumber Party. Also, it's a thing now for conventions like this to have a rave, usually on friday or saturday night - basically a DJ comes in and everyone goes in to dance to anime music remixes. Not all cons have these though. Smaller conventions or conventions not in a hotel tend to close and have no more events after a certain time of the day, when the convention center closes. But some big conventions have panels going on very late, sometimes until 3 or 4 AM. So it just depends on the size.

All anime cons I've gone to, even the tiny less fun ones, have a cosplay contest. Some big cons have more than one. These tend to be really fun events to go to. There isn't always good screening beforehand so some people go up on stage and you're like wth I could do better then that, but a lot of people are just jaw-dropping amazing, and it's a good opportunity to get pictures of awesome cosplay.

Ive been to conventions... gosh... hmmm... 50+ times? I usually prefer the huge ones. And going in cosplay btw is always more fun. People stop you to take your pictures and it gets you to make a lot of friends.

But if you have a lot of social anxiety or dislike crowds then you shouldnt go. A lot of people go to conventions mostly just to socialize, and there's no guarantee you'll always have your bubble of personal space. It's not because people are being disrespectful, it's just because most people assume that, by going to cons, you're okay with meeting people who share your interests.
