You shouldn’t expect anything less 😛
Anime news is not what I had in mind =/
Thought I’d just tag you in the two new articles I wrote.
I also updated the article with the trailer in it, it was confirmed that Persona 5 will be shown at E3.
So I did here E3, cool so, we’re getting a American release date soon, maybe even European
I don’t from a villain who knows more about heroics than myself
Yeah, I’ve read it 5 minutes ago, so I saw that edit.
I don’t know when E3 is though, neither do I ever watch it, so…I expect more updates in the future from you bro.
You can’t be a true villain, not until you know how the other side works.
