Persona 1 and Innocent Sin were also about high schoolers too.

i mean. yes, they focused on high schoolers, but they didn't focus on living your high school life alongside the parts where you fought literal nazis, there's kind of a big difference in subject matter between them and the later games

Looks pretty cool once I muted it. Maybe it's a personal failing on my part, but to me dub VAs almost always sound like the same half dozen aging baby boomers trying to impersonate angsty teenagers. It's uncomfortable.

you're not entirely off-base, since it's been 15 years and they're having the same Haruko VA do the Haruko voice. downside of keeping a handful of the original cast i guess

Not that I know of, but there are trans people, schizoid personality disorder, anorexia, single moms, hikkiko-moris, SNS psychopaths, and also possibly lots of legit mental illness and assorted people who fell through the social net of contemporary Japan.

One of the main cast cuts his own face with broken glass to get out of a social situation. It gets hosed up.

No. Wrong eye color, different voice, looks more like Naota's friend anyway.

He's probably gotten out of Mabase and made something of his life. Good on him.

Apparently there's a fight between Madhouse and the original Boogiepop Phantom artist who has been working on the LN series for 20 years. Wonder if this will interfere with the series?

I liked the trailer so I guess the illustrator has bad taste.

i mean if the original author gets involved he might be able to have some push/pull but the original artist wouldnt really be able to have any power, and the fact that they've already announced it means that production committees and stuff are already on board. plus the pv already had finished animation so its probably too late in the game to retool the designs that heavily.

imo the artist seems like kind of a jackass. not showing him the designs at all is a little lovely but 'i sent them a bunch of random messages on twitter and they didn't reply, time to blow the gently caress up'

this season has a lot of wild cards for me. currently i am most looking forward to:

devils line: the manga was insanely good and the whole time i read it was thinking wow they just adapt this it would be a good anime so as long as they don't gently caress it up completely it should be solid
sword art online: gun gale online: sao is bad but studio 3hz have made 2 of my favorite anime (flip flappers and princess principal) with their small output already and its adapting the guy who wrote kino's journey and has basically nothing to do with sao proper.

optimistic for:
steins gate 0: first series was good hopefully this isn't bad regardless of the vn its adapting
caligula: looks like dumbfuck stupid poo poo but fun
magical girl site: this is basically my wheelhouse

will try:
magical girl ore: the pv i saw was weirdly dramatic for what is a premise is this a zombie did years ago
persona 5: can i just watch this instead of wasting 300 hours playing the game
