I was fine with Marie. But then I'm a sucker for a dork and she is a massive dork.

Marie's plot just seems like a filler episode to bridge the gap of time between Adachi and Izanami in my opinion.

The legend has returned.

I barely remember Marie since my memory can be faint but hey bagging on certain characters can be fun so I do it. tongue

She awakened Naoto's desire to murder people by reading her poetry.

Also tbf the Golden anime made her that important. To the point she pulls the "power of friendship hug to death" on Izanami Lucifer did to Satan in the De Su 2 animu.

Honestly the fact they made an entire anime for her alone is the most ridiculous thing about her.

Good news: They give more screentime to best boy supports Kou and Daisuke. Including Kou crossdressing.

I feel like the extra importance she got outside P 4 G itself is most of the reason she's disliked. They reeeeally shoved her down peoples throats.

[up][up] We're lucky she also didn't get a movie.

Boy would that have been beyond overkill.

Shit was the Golden anime even profitable?

Yes I recall.

But for P5 onwards you can't really make an upgrade of graphics in anime. Instead its a downgrade as P 5 A showed.

The Golden anime is redeemed in my eyes by the Adachi episodes (really worth seeing), but everything else was alright at best. I was pretty damn annoyed by how insistently Marie was put in focus for the rest of the anime, mainly about how hugely important they made her for the finale.

But I will say that I appreciate they actually tried to make her seem like part of the group proper, where the game just acts like she is despite there not being much premises for that.

[up][up] Well you kinda can, by employing shit tons of sakuga & other scenery porn & such.

Its just you need a renowned studio with highly competent staff & time to actually pull it off.

To be fair, if you make an anime based on a remake whose biggest addition is a new character, it makes sense for said character to be at the forefront.

The inevitable P5R anime will absolutely have Kasumi as the main focus.

The ironic part is that for all of the focus on Marie in Golden, Adachi is the one who ends up stealing the show, which continued into Persona 4 Arena Ultimax where Marie plays an extremely minor role.

So...will Akechi end up stealing Kasumi's thunder in Royal?

Huh a sudden thought, can they have the next games team be an outright Power Rangers/Sentai expy or would that be too much?

Marie is Best Girl. The mechanics of her dungeon suck but goddam the music and atmosphere is unparalleled.

Grant ed, I started with Golden. On the other hand, Golden is the definitive way best version so I chose wisely.

So 4 is like Scooby Doo Detectives, 5 is Phantom Thieves, 3 is...... okay someone else do 3.

I'm curious what the next theme could be.

[up][up][up] I think I've been entirely too nice and forgiving given how rude you have been. No one is surprised that you are acting snide when I participate in the conversation that was started by somebody else and offer my opinion that P4 is good because you whine about me giving my opinion on the current thread topic every. single. time.. I'd understand if I burst into the thread and derailed it constantly to whack off P4 but I did absolutely nothing except join an already ongoing discussion.

I could easily describe the Persona opinions of many users here given we have had the same discussions multiple times. Let's discuss how Jovian thinks P3's cast is wonderfully written given how their conflict with one another makes them stronger characters than P4's friendship themes. Only I suspect you wouldn't shit on him if he said the same thing he's said before.

So, please stop.

While I have defended this tendency of yours in the past Nik, I have to admit it's not fun to see you praise something because it usually comes off as obnoxious fanboying. Especially when it's juxtaposed with you whining about P5, a game with as many fans as P4 here and elsewhere.

The topic of P5 being hated or loved was literally brought up last page. I simply responded to what other posters were already talking about.

W hen I burst into a P3 talk to say "ya know guys Joker was the worst MC ever" - and I've never done anything even vaguely of the sort - that could be problem.

Actually last page was whether Marie is shit or not for the most part.

The topic about P5 was in relation to Kasumi, her role & possible message she may serve, & you said you weren't interested in her after praising Marie & at the very least Alex as great.
