There are two types of anime fans, anime fans that like shows that are secretly just Gunbuster, and anime fans that like shows that are secretly just NGE

I am the third type of fan, I like shows that are just Utena, have you guys seen this Revue Starlight?

i too think the best anime is a story about outsiders and being anti authority but isn't actually about outsiders or marginalized people and presents gay people as predators and overall is just very conservative.

samurai champloo is a good anime.

the best anime is a eight way tie between a woman called fujiko mine, turn a gundam, concrete revolutio, revolutionary girl utena, patlabor, and some other stuff i guess

i like the idea and image of persona in my head more than i like the actual persona games. 3 and 4 i still have like, a bit of a soft spot for in some stuff, but that series needs a new director because dude is just kinda lovely and sexist.

Grow up.

I love Persona 3 Portable a hell of a lot, possibly my favorite game period, but pretending the series doesn't have issues is being willfully ignorant. Or did you forget about the part in Persona 5 where an arc about not objectifying and sexualizing teenage girls is immediately followed by the plot requiring that you pressure a teenage girl into stripping for someone? Or the part in Persona 4 where literally the only fat girl in the game is petty and mean and just generally made out to be as repulsive as possible? Or like half of Persona 3's social links? Or that before FES, the only way to max out your Social Links was to cheat on several different women with each other?

Or just how generally lovely the "lovable pervert" trope is? That's a whole other rant.

Objecting to minor aspects that one finds distasteful is certainly valid but similarly mis characterizing the storyline or said aspects because it doesn't correspond to one's preferred narrative is a waste

The gourmet King is not an intended assault on the healthy at any size movement, for example, but you'll likely find a reset era thread on it

Now who's misrepresenting? I'm literally poly, and P3 isn't that. You can get caught cheating, and it will put the Links in Reverse. But there's still a mechanical incentive to cheat. The lesson there, whether intended or not, is "cheating is good, just don't get caught".

i am not mis characterizing the storyline. 4 is a game about being outsiders, about people who aren't really outsiders, rebelling against authority, who all make conservative choices for their futures in their epilogues.

That's not what the slippery slope is, friend


Wrt the relationships in 3 any sense of cheating is guilt projected by the player. The text doesn't support the idea of mc as taking advantage of his partners

about everything western fans applaud the persona games for, other games have done better. overall those elements do blend together to form a cool and stylish image, but the games always have kinda failed that image at the end. it needs fresh blood, and a new director to really do it justice.

With the exception of mc and maybe Yosuke they aren't "outsiders" as they are just uncomfortable in their station. The distinction is that people growing into themselves makes more sense than just settling or w/e.

Persona has many flaws indeed! Its stories have major pacing issues and the secondary characters have wildly varying depth, for example

To be fair, it was a confusing game with some odd mechanics.

I don't think most games are as unusual.

However, I will say that I personally thought you played fine. Honestly, I think the other people were maybe a little....rude isn't the right word...but maybe didn't try to engage you as much as they should have.

In the wake of the first great Shine-fueled war that caught the world unprepared, things settled into a curious sort of détente. The great world powers had seen what Shine could do on the battlefield for the first time, and each nation's finest minds frantically considered how to turn its unpredictable might to their advantage. But in the meantime, life moved on.

Those who lived in the new nation of Nuevo Villa - New Home - found that life proceeded much like it had before. Sure, the taxmen spoke more Spanish than English, but all in all things hadn't changed much on the wild western frontier. That all changed when the stories began to spread - thanks to the power of Shine, people were finding untapped veins of gold out West! For those who felt the stirrings of curiosity - the desire to break away from their previous lives and seek fortune out West in a newly-conquered country, that was all the inspiration needed.

The second California Gold Rush has begun, fueled by the unpredictable whimsy of Shine.


Shine VI: Fool's Gold is a flavorful closed-setup game of Mafia for 16 players.

(Yes I know I got the thread title wrong. It's being fixed.)
