I don't remember there being a single positive thing about the War Arc that wasn't ultimately ruined by some element down the line.

And the fights were generally a mess with the sudden leap in power levels and their constant inconsistency.

Madara vs the Shinobi Alliance is pretty legendary. Obito vs Kakashi and the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke were fantastic as well at least.

I mean it did have a few cool looking fights, like Madara vs the Shinobi Alliance.

But the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke is a mess due to both it's incredibly short length, lack of any real choreography (in the manga, I'm aware the anime expanded more on it) and probably the biggest offender of power inconsistency in the manga, but that's cause Tailed Beasts are involved and their power levels stopped making sense somewhere midway War Arc.

The fight was considerably less memorable than the first Naruto vs Sasuke VOTE fight.

I'm mainly referring to the anime to version, the hand-to-hand taijutsu parts looked really good and had real nice looking choreography. Especially when they both exhausted their powers and were just clobbering each other brutally, that was some good stuff.

Love the guitar

Yeah, the composer Meguru Shoji is just plain awesome with his guitar usage.

There's a track in Persona 4 that plays during the second-to-last boss battle, called "Mist", and Meguro does a solo in it himself, and it's probably the best sounding guitar solo I've ever heard.

This is the track perfomed by Meguro himself on stage and it's amazing. You can skip listening to it for now if you want it to remain a surprise


And yes, the Persona 3 Velvet Room is an elevator, as Shinso said, so I like to believe that it sounding like elevator music is totally intended and kinda brilliant and cheeky on their part to even seriously consider the idea lol.

Just a heads up. If you ever plan on playing more Persona in the future, definitely hold on to your sealed copy of P5 and don't open it until you're done with the previous games. P3 and 4 are just way better played before P5.

ShinsoPriest said:
I think it has to do with the amount of songs they play for each area. It's not as various as P3 or P4 which changed by time of day and seasons outside, in school, etc. P3 especially is perfect.


I dunno, I'm perfectly fine listening to the other two OSTs to this day without getting sick of it the same way. I don't know if it's the tracks having too many repeated parts, unlike the other two, or it's just the genre of music Meguro used in P5 that's not to my pallet.

No worries. I just got a vita, so Persona 4 Golden is waiting for me over there to play next. P5 will be after that.

Can't wait to get to the 4th one. This Meguro fellow seems to know how to make awesome music. Couldn't resist listening to it now, and I regret nothing.

Just saw Blade Runner for the first time because why not. Hard to believe this movie was filmed in 1982, it feels more advanced than Terminator and that one was filmed 2 years after. Then again, I also find it really hard to believe Alien was filmed in 1979.

Anyways wow the atmosphere in this movie. I can see how it influenced a lot of anime like GitS.

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." Love this line.

The Dark and Light units are so freaking good.



The chance to roll them is almost non-existent. They come from special gacha that require different currency than regular gacha.

Despite how crazy the graphic can be this game run smoother than FGO.

I kinda get what you mean. Persona 5's OST sounds...tiring to listen to, for lack of better word.

There are some tracks that are bangers, of course, like Life Will Change and Blooming Villain, but youtube keeps recommending Rivers in the Desert to me and I'm like, "not again," because it makes me want to sleep, which is the exact opposite of what a boss theme should make someone feel. The soundtrack might be too jazzy for its own good, because a lot of it is droning and not-energetic. I can appreciate jazz, but the whole soundtrack being jazz makes any track hard to distinguish, especially since there are a lot fewer tracks with lyrics in the game.

Definitely. And yeah, it's not like jazz is a bad choice for the game's atmosphere and plot (it's basically a heist movie), but the genre itself doesn't seem to lend itself too well to be the main style for a 100 hours game that loves to repeat its tracks. And oh yes, I completely agree that P5's OST makes me sleepy. The OST overall feels chill and way less tense, with some very few exceptions.

Also, I can't find myself liking Lyn at all. She sounds clumsy, and not as grand and epic as Yumi Kawamura or adorable and soothing like Hirata Shihoko and while Meguro's Engrish lyrics don't help, I never had a problem with Kawamura or Shihoko doing the same.

Yumi Kawamura and Lotus Juice remain the winning combo for me as far as Persona music is concerned. I disliked Hirata at first, but that was mostly due to me disliking the overall atmosphere of P4 compared to P3, but she really grew on me (while the game did not as much) and I really look forward to what new pieces she does for the likes of Persona Q.

There has been a trend in the Persona concerts where sometimes a singer will sing a song from one of the other games, so I really want Yumi to try her hands at the P5 OST.

Hear, hear.

Also, it's a bit late, but welcome to the wonderful world of Persona, a world of dark events, beautiful friendships, too-cool-for-school protagonists and the best waifus you can find around.

Hope you enjoy the ride! :D

Took a trip back on a memory lane for some Doctor Who goodness. This series had some insanely good and truly iconic music tracks that verge on being instant classics when they aren't even that old.


Also, David Tennant is objectively the best (modern) Doctor. If you disagree, you're wrong.

Was it, though?

Aside from the nonsensical story, bland character stereotypes, cliche plot elements, ridiculous non-ending, and the production issues causing them to delay the finale for almost half a year, its biggest issue was being a criminally boring show about hunters with freaking huge swords that fight big monsters and the freaking huge swords freaking EAT the monsters. And this is coming from someone who played the game too and had my expectation completely in check and sufficiently lowered.

Alisa's underboobs can only carry the show so much, man.

I played P4 first and like it more than P3, but I still prefer P3's soundtrack. P4's soundtrack is a bit too happy for me. I can imagine myself listening to music similar to P3's. I can't imagine listening to P4's super poppy music all the time.

Nothing makes me tear up quite like P4G's Snowflakes, though.

Persona 3's OST is so far and beyond every OST I've ever heard, in video games or otherwise, and even compared to the other OSTs in its own franchise for me.

Even if I don't count famous highlights like "Burn My Dread", "Battle for Everyone's Souls", "Mass Destruction" and "Aria of the Soul", there's "Memories of the City", "Unavoidable Battle", "When the Moon Reaches for the Stars", "Because I'm Protecting You" (dear God, the context of this one) and of course the two big ones:

For these two, even 12 years later, I still can't help feeling emotional when I Iisten to them again.

Man, Persona 3 freaking had HEART.

Bad news to those who like Marvel's Netflix show. They cancelled Daredevil which means, the rest will follows.

I never used Netflix but it seems to getting worse. I won't be surprised if it died in few years because every good shows just leave it. All of Disney properties are leaving it which is almost everything in existence.

Wait, WHAT THE HELL!!!!???????

Disney better fucking be planning to just move it to their own new streaming service. Otherwise, they just fucking canceled a widely critically acclaimed and viewed show for no reason other than to not have their IP be co-owned by someone else.

At least season 3 ended pretty conclusively and happily for all of our heroes (if we pretend the post-credits scene never happened), so I'd be somewhat fine if it ended now, I guess.

Still, goddammit.

So much BS involved with any streaming service these days. Every damn company only cares about their slice of the pie and will make things as inconvenient as possible for a consumer if it makes them a little more money. We already have way too much with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and soon we'll have this damn Disney streaming service - and these are just the big ones. Soon you'll need to pay a dozen monthly subscription fees just to get access to all the movies/shows you might want to watch. Streaming was supposed to replace physical ownership, but with greedy motherfuckers like this then it won't happen anytime soon.

Jim Sterling said something in one of his videos that I always thought seemed true - media corporations would rather make no money instead of only getting *some* of the money. They're not satisfied in getting by with a profit, they want a monopoly - complete control. God forbid Disney shares with Netflix; these asshole executives clearly see it as a zero sum game and want every penny to puff up their own status and sense of success

All this will do is inspire more piracy. No one's gonna pay 10 bucks a month just to watch one show on a shitty streaming service.

So I'm guessing I'm a little over halfway through Persona 3, its September and I just beat the mall Shadow and we captured Chidori. Overall, I'd say I've been enjoying my experience, particularly thanks to the main cast and the story. Can't really say I've enjoyed it as much as P5, but that's really an unfair comparison. Also the dub is fine overall, but oh man does some of the voice acting fall flat for the more emotional moments and some of the voice actors don't really sound like the really want to be here in general.
