Which is actually being fansubbed in Japanese right now: [EDIT: Fansub links are not allowed, even if they're not for anime. - Key]
Odd post...I am an adult and I don't own a single console. In general society, owning video game consoles isn't considered a sign of maturity, but the opposite.
Unless someone's paying for product, they're not a statistic that matters to the production machine. |

Uh, bullcrap, considering how many games are aimed and at widely enjoyed by older players. Games are mainstream now, remember? They aren't some obscure little "children and nerds in basements" hobby anymore. Also, just wanna say, yeah, Maken-Ki is fixing to be pretty foul. And knowing who's directing it, I give it another episode or two before some girl pisses herself. |

Say's the person with a my little pony avatar... The OP's point was that unless you're living on an 8th grader's allowance, it's fairly easy to spend whatever paltry amount of money it takes to buy a used PS2+copy of P4. |

Yeah, and I could have gone out and bought a Super Nintendo to play the Stargate game. I used an emulator instead.
I would recommend buying the game and then downloading a PS2 emulator. Any up to date computer should easily be capable of emulating a PS2, and PS2 games come on an ordinary CD, so can be read on a normal computer as well. |

Who ever owns Strawberry Shortcake needs to try marketing it to this audience as well.

pretty much the reason i dropped zac's favorite anime kiss x sis. This is a bit of rebuttal but owning a game system is sign more of eh wealth and status not so much maturity. I do own all there major consoles and a gaming pc "even though I only play vn's most of the time" however gaming is mainstream like you said and hell I have a wii in every room with netflix instead of cable. |

I bought a PS2 new (still being sold I think) just to play Sakura Wars 4.
Persona 4 and 3 FES were a very happy bonus (loved Sakura Wars 4 btw). Easily the best console rpg I have played, and that is coming from a big fan of the original Dragon Age. Rewatched the P4 episode today, and again, I must say that I really like Chie's Japanese voice, it is quite different from the game dub. |

I wasn't complaining. I was just replying to someone else's complaint, which was right before my post. Probably should've quoted from'em, but, then again, I don't really care. More bandwidth! Oh, and, from the looks of the raws, the first episode of Majikoi seems to really be a trick. So, heads up (pun may be intended) |

I almost died when that random blob guy in Horizon was on screen. This immediately became the show I'm most looking forward to following this season. Screw all of your ivory tower judgements, Horizon is a silly ass show.

Watched the second episode of Fate/Zero and it's great. There are tons of good animation, the real ones not just talking, and the introduction of many characters I enjoy. So, if anyone had doubts about it, this episode should settle it as a must see.

In popularity there is a good chance of that, considering the audience is built in.
In terms of my own personal tastes not a chance in space. Yep, I have just read some more Asimov. Foundation, in fact. There is no breast grabbing and almost no female characters. |

lol if you hadn't quoted that I wouldn't have noticed, this thread moves fast. Also...LOL. Questioning the maturity of a person for not having tons of video game consoles. 
I don't care how cheap a copy of the game and a PS2 is now. I am NOT going to buy an entire bloody console just to play a SINGLE game. I could try a PS2 emulator...but in that case, why not just download Person 4 instead?
Fun fact. M rating =/= aimed at older players. Anyone whose played stuff like CoD or GOW(space marines) or the other GOW(DmC clone) can tell you that they have materials that warrant a M rating, but they're anything but "mature". Most stuff in mature games are often stuff a 12 year old boy would enjoy the most. __________________________________________________ As for this thread and anime...............damn there's a lot of anime this season compared to the last. I wish there was a way to keep a list of anime I'm watching...I only expected to like a small number. Is this also the season that's airing the final episode of Zero No Tsukaima? |
