And so I come to the end of my run through of the Persona anime adaptations with an overall look at the Persona 4 series. It was well paced, with action at the start and end, with plenty of comedic antics in the middle, but was it a satisfying series overall? Read on! Continue reading
My review of all 12 episodes of GANGSTA. released on blu-ray here in the UK is now up on Anime UK News, and can be found HERE. Fun series, shame about the ending…
Persona 4 – The Animation comes to a conclusion with its last five episodes (plus an OVA episode 26) and it does a good job of wrapping up the action side of the story, but seriously skimps out on the social aspect of the series. How much does it effect the story overall? Read on!
My review of the new UK blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Z Movies 3 and 4 is now up on Anime UK News, and can be found HERE. Get ready for a lot of these, it looks like Manga Entertainment are releasing these two-film sets monthly!
My review of the 30th Naruto Shippuden box set (that’s actually just a standard 13 episode two-disc release) is now up on Anime UK news and can be viewed HERE.
It’s my 10th overall (not including movies and spin-offs), if you want all prior reviews are linked in the Anime and Manga tab up top.
Persona 4 – The Animation continues onward, and with the lead case and centrepiece of the story seemingly dealt with, everyone begins to refocus on being goofy teens again. Three of these eight episodes deal with something a bit serious, but in general this batch of episodes is all about goofy school hijinks and having a bit of a laugh. Does this makes-sense-given-the-game switch to school life comedy work in the anime series? Read on!
Continuing on from my watch of the Persona 3 movies, it’s time to watch the Persona 4 anime series. As I mentioned at the start of the P3 reviews I have experience with 3 and 5, but never did see any of 4 (beyond brief clips and an interest in the P4: Arena games, which sadly spoiled one of the lead antagonists of this series…) so this is my first time experiencing the story in any format. Now I’m sure that’s a shame as the game is undoubtedly more detailed and all that, but there you go, I don’t have 100+ hours to sink into a JRPG, sadly. ANYWAY, so, yeah: Persona 4 – The Animation’s first twelve episodes then…
I actually watched this back in September, so it’s been existing as a few notes I took while watching for a while now. I was busy at work for most of that time, but I also think it’s a hard series to get motivated to review because it’s not … that good. But it’s also not so terrible that it will be fun to sarcastically tare apart, either. Hey ho, I wanted another Gundam series I never saw before done (and was in the mood as it was in the run up to the release of PS4 game Gundam Versus) so there we go. I had planned on watching the Universal Century stuff in order, but never mind… This is technically the “Regild Century” anyway, even if it is the same timeline! So let’s take a look already!
10 years after they were released on blu-ray in the US, and over 20 years since they were theatrically released, we here in the UK are finally getting the original 13 DBZ movies (and presumably the two TV Specials as well), and of course being Anime UK News’s resident Dragon Ball guy, I get to review them! Click HERE for the first set of two movies, Movie #1: Dead Zone, and Movie #2: The World’s Strongest, with many more to come!
The Persona 3 adaptation comes to a close (rather quickly, but hey-ho, that’s what you get for reviewing them two at a time I guess!) as new friends and enemies appear, sometimes both at once! Read on to find out more! (unless you don’t want to get it spoiled, in which case scroll down until you see the Overall Thoughts section for a sum up and a rating!)
