Bravely Default has finally released for the 3DS. I didn't hesitate to throw down the 40 bucks to buy it, but apparently I was in for a surprise: the game needs 26,500 blocks of memory space.

That's TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED blocks. That's easily more than 95% of the entire SD card on my 3DS.

By the time I found out, I had already put the money down in my eshop account, too late to back out at that point. So, reluctantly, I deleted what was basically everything else on my 3DS in order to make room for it... even the Bravely Default demo had to go, when it was promising I'd get to port over my villagers and some other perks to the full version, but it just wasn't possible.

I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I'm hoping it knocks my socks off over here.

I just bought a new SD card.  32 GB should be more than enough for everything I would want to purchase via e-Shop, and it isn't that expensive at a little over $20 USD. 

That said, with how Nintendo handles digital purchases, I much prefer to have a cartridge when the option is available.  I don't much like the "lose the system, lose all the games" system that Nintendo seems to use.

Regardless, Bravery Default has one of the best Intros i have seen for a 3DS game ever. Actually feels like a Console Intro. Still...... Isn't this the Anime thread???

[Darvi]

If it's animesque enough, it works, as far as I've witnessed. At the very least, VN's are fine.

A large amount of gratuitous special effects can make any static sprites look great!!

[Darvi]

Lessee, afterimages, zooms, SFX depending on the medium, and of course this wouldn't be the anime thread without egregious amounts of bishie sparkles...

Ah just a quick warning: there's a chat thing on HorribleSubs page. I don't recommend chatting there, unless you want to be called a faggot by a bunch of Naruto fans for liking the wrong type of shows.

[LordSlowpoke]

um

you do not use that sort of irc for chatting

the sub group of which you speak of even has a guide to properly utilizing the function it's meant to be used for primarily

[Reelya]

I'm not talking about IRC here, but the blog-style chat which uses the disqus interface on horriblesubs.info, which is why I said "the chat thing on HorribleSubs page" - it's literally right there on their homepage.

And it's not used by HS to communicate with users in the least, just random banter between users. The people who run the site delete the whole thing when the thread gets too long, so they are tacitly recognizing what it is for. I have that wep page open quite often to check current releases and keep find myself drawn into conversations against my better judgement. Seriously, the chat thread on that webpage makes 4chan look civilized. It's like 4chan with more bile and 100% less creativity.

Bravely Default could probably easily hold its own thread in Other Games anyway, though.

This show is so amazing. In a regular story it keeps building slowly till the climax, then it ends. In this it hit a climax at about episode 12, and the pacing just keeps going up and up and up.
Of all the things that Kill la kill has done right, pacing has had by far the largest effect.

Not spending dozens of episodes on training/rescue arcs already puts it in the top tier of shounen anime

[Steeled]

HorribleSubs isn't a sub group, they just rip the streams from Crunchyroll like most other "sub" sites.

[Reelya]

I'm aware of that, never claimed otherwise, and it's explicitly state in their "About Us" section to boot.

But their name is "HorribleSubs" so can't discuss the site without mentioning that.

[Furtuka]

*facepalm*

Mao you idiot

Spoiler: more seriously (click to show/hide)

Why do I get the feeling they've been waiting the entire show to make that joke with Aila's name.

My gosh that fight was great. I bet that's the kind of stuff TG would be pulling in this universe. Those little guys really add a new dimension to gunpla battle that I don't think anyone's really thought of. And wow the EXAM system was the last thing I ever expected to see show up. Especially in the MS of a main competitor.

[BFEL]

So does DBZ Abridged count in this?
Because episode 39 is out and it was, as always, hilarious.

[Furtuka]

yes gundam build fighters

Kampfer Amazing has ALL the weapons. ALL OF THEM.

That was seriously great though. Yuuki is obviously amazing by default, but the Renato Bros' fighting style was fun too. All that variety, all those indirect attacks. The Zeon figs thing was like HAHA WHAT at first, but I'll take it. It's at least less ridiculous than a bunch of mobile dolls. Kind of sad to see them go after that fight because I could really go for some more GM Sniper K9.

Not terribly looking forward to the next episode. Nils ehh.. Sengoku Astray ehh.. Tallgeese should've won. >:[

Also, and a surprise to no one, this show is really making me consider getting into buying GUNPURA myself. So cool. Probably won't anyway because the plastic has always struck me as quite cheap looking for the price, but I'm at least considering it.

The Bandai plastic's actually held up pretty well in my experience. Its the Kotobukiya plamos like the SRW line that tend to suck.

[Boksi]

Speaking of SRW...
