So I just got my copy of the last Bluray and it turns out that some stuff was added to episode 25 to set up episode 26. Also both episodes are out on that certain "Commie" site.

wow.

If, uh, you were expecting a better looking episode based on the notion that this is a BR exclusive and they had 6 months to work on it exclusively along with great sales, well......Keep dreaming.

That's not how Bluray exclusive episodes work. They're usually produced with the other episodes.

Do you really expect the Giant Bomb userbase to have Nico accounts ready for this? *sweeps own Nico account under rug* How absurd!

Considering how easy it is to make one I think they could make one if they want to see it.

They've been cleaning up the older episodes in the Bluray releases.

The older episodes were still filled with QUALITY

I think this episode was...Pretty bleh. Some poor direction, animation is still poor and they managed to make Myriad Truths look even more lackluster than it did in the game, yay!

Finally got around to watching this episode and I'm glad that I enjoyed it as much as I did because it seems it wasn't a hit with several other people. My only complaints were that I'll Face Myself Battle was used during Izanami's battle and that the battles were mainly "Persona rushes", which was awesome to see in Mitsuo Shadow's battle but got a bit repetitive here. Actually, this episode reminded me a lot of Mitsuo Shadow's episode because it had the whole illusion aspect, hinted at Yu's Shadow (explicitly shown in this episode) and had a similar battle structure. Also, in both cases Yosuke saves Yu by pulling him out of something.

I really liked how they pulled off Yu's Shadow. Maybe not a facet of him that could have been explored in the game, but was definitely something that made sense in the anime. I also like how, when Igor's assistants get disappointed in their hosts, they respond by getting all pissed and fighting as though to kill them to literally teach them a lesson (something I don't think had been demonstrated until Persona 4 Arena where Elizabeth got angry at Aigis). Margaret's battle music was also great; reminiscent of the Battle for Everyone's Souls but in a tone that suits Persona 4.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with the Persona 3 anime movies.

So is there a sub version available yet?

Seeing as they finally aired the entire series i had undertaken my third attempt at watching the series and i still can not get past the abysmal presentation and dodgy skips in logic amongst all characters. Attempting to stick so true to the source material really harmed this series in my eyes, This feels so on level with medaka box.

This is probably the reason why normally only visual novels receive this treatment,

OK, that was a strange way to end the show. Still pretty good, but still really strange.

Is that even Erin Fitzgerald voicing Chie? I'm not sure it sounds like her and I'm not liking it too much.

Sounds like her to me. Having a hard time identifying Lowenthal on Yosuke though, but whatevs.

I think this episode was...Pretty bleh. Some poor direction, animation is still poor and they managed to make Myriad Truths look even more lackluster than it did in the game, yay!

Animation wise I didn't had a problem with it, but the pacing, man, it was extremely fast. Due to that, they had to cut out a big chunk of dialogue and they not even changed the ones they left in. It just didn't worked as it should have been. As a big mystery revealing and 'closing the book' true ending. It was not the high point of a great journey.

the english dub should be all the voices from Arena also Teddie and Chie will be replaced in Golden with the new Arena voices

I thought the dub sounded great. Super psyched to get my copy this month!

This is one English dub where I don't care if it's technically not amazing; it's mostly the voices from the game I watched/played.

Also, if I do get it, it'll be on Blu-Ray for the time when I either get a drive for my HTPC or for the next console cycle.

This is weird. I'm still gonna watch it. 

I'm digging the dub. I already got used to Chie's new voice in Arena so that doesn't bug me and everyone else sounds pretty good. I'm probably going to pick up the blu-ray.

I think the Arena dub was really good but I'm still gonna miss Teddie's original voice actor tho... he was pretty funny.

@mutha3 said:

@FluxWaveZ: That's clearly Fitzgerald. The VA seems pretty weird in general in that scene, though...like, nothing flows well together at all. The dialogue is awkward and it feels like the VA are rushing to spit their lines out in every scene.

Really? It doesn't sound like it from what I've heard from her in Arena.

Yea, that explains it. Something did feel really off about all that voice acting, but I thought it was just me having a hard time adjusting nine different times to the voice actors. Yosuke's still Yosuke, though.

@mutha3: This sounds like a really disappointing dub! As expected from our good friends at Sentai!

Goddammit. We're never going to find out who voiced her in P4.

Yeah, this seems like a directing issue.

Listen to the Bosch about a 58 seconds in. The pause after "then he's either going to try and approach him directly" is comical.

That's more of a lip syncing issue. Kanji still sounds great though.

An Atlus rep confirmed she didn't work on P4. We had a thread on this, I think.

We didn't have a thread about it, but we discussed it in the P4A voice actor change thread. Here's one I made just about Naoto's voice actress on another forum. So yeah, we still don't know who voiced her in P4.

You agree that this new one doesn't sound like the original? This Naoto imposter does a much more convincing boy voice based on that clip.

Just listened to that and HOLY HELL. Well, that definitely isn't Naoto's original voice actress. Don't know how I feel about it, but I'm curious as to how her voice will change when Naoto's gender is revealed.

Huh. I hope the rest of the dub isn't like those clips, because those were of a decidedly awkward quality.

I like the new Naoto voice.

At least Kanji sounds great. I'm probably not going to watch this anime again since I didn't like it that much. Still sucks that they didn't get everyone to dub it correctly.

@Bocam said:

Its not bad but she sounds just like Kashiwagi which really bugs me.

Damn, that Naoto voice is really crappy. In P4A is the same actress, Megan Hollingshead, so that's pretty weird.

And I don't how I feel about the same guy that voices Adachi, gives his voice for Yu. I mean, I can tell it's him, I feel like is Adachi talking. I'm waiting for Yu to say: Whores and bitches at any time!

How do you know that that's Naoto's voice actress?

You're right, it could be her, or Elizabeth McGlynn or Susan Dalian. Though I'm pretty sure is not Dalian. It's close, but not enough.

Well, Atlus' Persona 4 localization director has already stated that he's never worked with Susan Dalian, so we know she's not the VA. It's just that no one can give any definitive answer because no one knows outside of the involved parties.

YU AND ADACHI IN THE SAME SCENE!

You know what? I feel like JYB actually pulled it off. It works.

EDIT: Here's JYB also talks about what it was like to voice them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpa%C2%ADge&v=7_2Io5dY2cA#t=1734s

You know, I hate to admit it, but he pulls it off really nice. Sounds good.

I'm now curious to see what it would be like if Johnny Yong Bosch voiced every character in the show. "I'm you, and you're me." "Who?"

Wow. Props to Johnny Yong Bosch, he managed to alter his original take on Adachi without straying too far out of character, while also avoiding stepping too much on his portrayal of Charlie. Skillful work.

I wonder... presumably he had to record new lines for Adachi for Golden. I wonder if he'll keep his original interpretation for that stuff or go with this new one.

FYI the entire first episode of the dub is now available on The Anime Network website for free.

You guys ready to watch the whole series again? 'Cause the dubbed episodes have started appearing as of today. You can watch episode 1 at The Anime Network right now.

Oh wow, managed to miss that comment right above me by @MeatSim! Sorry about that.

Just watched the first episode. It's good, I like it, though I've been spoiled. Focks_MacLeod's version was way better.
