this happy feeling is a 1958 film by blake edwards adapted from the f. hugh herbert play for love or money .

edwards regretted universal-international 's eleventh hour decision of a name change , but the studio was hoping to trade off another pop hit by debbie reynolds as they had with tammy and the bachelor .

reynolds stars , along with john saxon , curt jurgens and veteran hollywood actresses alexis smith and mary astor .

quit waiting around for someone else to go first , sponge up your hurts , love you perfectly , make you happy or — god forbid —
complete
you .
too often these women — even the strongest , smartest , most independent of them — weirdly believe that if they inflict enough pain back onto their partners or exact enough control of them , they’ll suddenly get with the program . instead , the opposite usually happens . their partners — not feeling loved enough and tired of feeling nagged , controlled , and criticized — do the opposite . they withdraw and tune out . and the cycle of drama and dysfunction only becomes more vicious and protracted .
i decided to put 150 percent of myself into our relationship and not sit around keeping score or waiting for love to wash over me . i stopped waiting for someone else to make me happy .
on this week’s good one podcast , vanessa bayer tells the full story of her most beloved character , from her own bat mitzvah to her final snl .
but the pressing question left unasked is ,
does this make brad the chandler of the group ?
i guess so ? i guess it makes him the chandler ? at the same time , alex being rachel makes sense , but she ' s also sort of the phoebe , because they made her a little flightier this year .
your happiness and your needs are important and need to be put first . if you are struggling right now , start focusing on the small things like this list , and if you’re still not happy , reach for bigger things . maybe you need a new hobby , a career change , or maybe you need to meet new friends . put your happiness first , and you’ll be okay !
last year , you must have been nervous over whether happy endings would come back , but it feels like this year , people are really responding to it . i think so too . last year , did i think the show would come back ? fuck no ! i thought , this is over , and i chopped all my hair off . i was like , forget it , i ' m done , and i started talking to my agents and manager and saying ,
all right , let ' s get those pilots !
we didn ' t get any publicity , really , and this year … well , not to be a jerk , but they ' re still not doing a lot . i mean , would it kill them to put a billboard up ? but the network has gotten behind it a little bit more , i think , and also the word of mouth is big , because people really like this show .
i love this movie , and wish tcm would broadcast it for others to enjoy . curt jurgens was wonderful as the

i know this damaging , dysfunctional pattern far too well . i used to be that woman who felt hurt , angry , unseen , and unheard . i also didn ' t feel loved enough by my husband .
learn to love the outdoors ! when i go for a hike or a walk , or even just read outside , i feel so good after . studies show that nature lowers depression and anxiety . i know when you’re feeling down , going outside may be the last thing you want to do , but trust me when i say you’ll feel better .
so this isn ' t the answer . shame . keep running tests and detail the extent of it ' s abilities . when you feel like it can no longer provide any more information , kill it .

agreed david i feel like i am i a living nightmare . . . . . worse since i started on these darn pills . . . . walking around looking like a mad female professor . . . . nice not ! ! ! . . . . . . think ive gone back to being a two year old just vile feeling as i know you can appreciate ! ! !
the saying is true , you are what you eat ! if you fuel your body with junk , you’ll feel sluggish and bloated . if you eat healthy foods , you’re getting nutrients and vitamins . you’ll be full , and proud of yourself for eating well ! overall , you’ll feel happy because you’re eating healthy .
in this romantic comedy a young woman comes to visit the horse ranch of a retired movie actor . he is most amused when the girl falls in love with him . meanwhile , the actor ' s young neighbor falls in love with her .
ive been on this forum for a while but it seems like these pills really make you lose the plot . . . feel like im going nuts and nothing makes sense anymore so good luck and empathy with anyone going through the same its just awful . .
even though ive read horror stories about withdrawal think i might just cut my 30mg in half and start to take 15mg again which i could cope with and sod the consequences . . . . . . . cant be doing this anymore it sucks ! ! !
i guess the upside there is that when people do catch onto the show , they feel something very proprietary , like they discovered it on their own . no , it ' s true . people feel like it ' s underground , like ,
oh , i watch happy endings , and it ' s not mainstream .
although it ' s on abc ! [ laughs . ]
i would assume there would be a lot of breaking on this set , but damon is so smooth , are you able to get him to break very often ? damon breaks constantly ! are you kidding me ? he is hilarious , and when he breaks , it gets to a point where there ' s a laugh attack that ' s just unstoppable . i think last season , adam pally recorded this one time on his iphone where we must have done ten takes because damon could not stop laughing . and he has such a contagious laugh that you can ' t help but laugh , too .
writer jon brittain brought cabaret to the iron lady in margaret thatcher queen of soho , and meticulous research and sensitivity to transgender issues in rotterdam . here , based on interviews with mental health organisations and sufferers of depression , he ' s crafted a musical about sally ( madeleine macmahon ) , told in chapters . she ' s a happy person . only she ' s not . inside , nothing feels right .
now , it must be said : if you really make it your job to make your partner happy and he ( or she ) exploits your efforts or never truly reciprocates — never meeting your love with love — you may be in a deal breaker scenario . despite your best efforts , you may be with someone who is unable or unwilling to love you back and you will probably need to terminate the relationship .
your room is your space . when my head feels cluttered , i will go in my room , clean it , and get rid of things i don’t want anymore . i filled my room with candles , books , and photo’s because they make me happy . i love turning on my lamp , lighting a candle and snuggling into bed with a book in my hands . it’s a simple way to bring me out of the dumps .
the sub then splashes into her stomach . toothy is feeling uneasy about the walls and the acids . suddenly , sniffles spots lifty and shifty ' s sub and starts to launch torpedoes at the sub . lifty and shifty feel the shockwave of the torpedo and retaliate . back in the sub , josh was holding lumpy ' s sandwich and lumpy tries get it back from josh and with great force , he snaps josh ' s arm off . josh then screams in pain and tries to find some bandages . sniffles sub and lifty and shifty ' s sub fire
happiness can seem like a simple thing , but when you feel down it can be hard to find that emotion again . i don’t know about you , but i’m in the middle of soul searching , and it can be tough . if you are trying to work on your happiness you have come to the right place ! i find a lot of people over - think what makes them happy . sometimes it just comes down to the simple stuff .
you are 100 % correct , if you want your life to turn into a nightmare just start on mirtazapine and sooner or later you will get there . i know that tis
medicine
helps some , but from what i have read on this forum , and other sources , find something else to take if you value your peace of mind .
this is a production of clever contrasts . director alex mitchell and musical director matthew floyd jones ( also on piano ) use the opening upbeat tone to knock us for six when sally ditches the microphone , turns to us and recounts her first breakdown . quietly delivered by a superb macmahon , with aching vulnerability , it ' s suddenly personal and painful .
valentine ' s day may be over , but with a new episode of happy endings on tonight , it still feels like the appropriate time to celebrate the best married couple on tv : the lusty duo , blessed with amazing chemistry and comic timing , that is eliza coupe ' s jane and damon wayans jr . ' s brad . when it comes to most romantic pairings , sitcoms often draw out the will - they - or - won ' t - they phase and then have no idea what to do when the couple actually gets together , but somehow , happy endings finds comic gold every week with jane and brad , who ' ve been together from the very start . ( take note , jim and pam . ) we got coupe on the phone yesterday to discuss her rapport with wayans jr . , her frustration with abc ' s promotion of the show , and her romantic designs on the star of shame .
the white brickwork fireplace surround in preston ' s house has the mortar apparently sticking out between the bricks not recessed as usual . either this is the work of the world ' s worst , most deranged bricklayer ( deeply inappropriate for such an upscale house ) or the set builders have simply taken a plaster cast of a brick wall and painted it white .
agreed bozzer although i do sympathise with you with your physical ailments that must be just terrible so i am blessed that i dont have them so sorry to hear that . . . . . yep they play tricks on your mind so you cant go out which is crazy . . . great you have support and thanks for the encouragment . . feeling mental as hell today which is scary . . . lost in my own crazy space wandering about . . which i bet is hilarious if someone is looking at me but like you say no one understands . . . hang in there yourself
oh bozzer i totally feel for you crying when someone asks how you are i completely understand . . . . . . . yep the mind keeps going back to that horrible place . . dont beat yourself up about showing your feelings people do understand feelings if not exactly how you are feeling on these evil pills . . . yes we do have to keep trying . . . here for you anytime and also will share anything that helps apart from a bottle of red wine ! ! . . hey youve made me smile thank you so much . . . keep the faith yourself . . . . believe

sorry to hear about your jobs and recent spell in hospital . i can see where you are coming from . the pain and stiffness ptevent you from doing things you want to do to keep your mind occupied . i myself am supposed to start work againon thursday and am dreading it . i cant give you an answer if its the mirt causing these feelings all i know is that in my situation it seems to have stopped doing what it did before i . e making me more happy in myself . stay strong . 👍
unfortunately , too many women i know get married and somehow , perhaps unconsciously , expect their husbands to make them happy . when things get hard — and they always do — rather than looking inward at where they may be at fault , too many women point the finger toward their partners . they blame him ( or her ) for the problems in their relationship . “if he would just pay more attention to me our marriage would be great ! ” or “if she would just help more around the house , things would be so much better . ”
the following year , but not for me ( 1959 ) utilized nearly the exact same plot , with clark gable , carroll baker , barry coe and lilli palmer enacting the roles played here by curt jurgens , debbie reynolds , john saxon and alexis smith . but not for me ( 1959 ) was based on the stage play
accent on youth ,
whereas this film was derived from the play
for love or money .
what keeps brad and jane so fresh and fun when we didn ' t even get to go through their initial courtship phase ? they just are animals in the sack . [ laughs . ] we did a scene yesterday where we ate so many mints before the scene because our noses were pressed against each other , and i think damon bit my shoulder at one point . damon and i are , like , best buddies in real life , too . we’re always texting each other , tweeting each other , doing something . we also will read scripts and text each other the night before , like on a sunday night , and be like ,
hey , for this scene , let’s do this .
we come up with stuff , because you know our characters could have very well just been a married couple , and we were like ,
no , fuck that . that’s not gonna be us .
so what did you start loving him from ? x - men ? jane eyre ? i ' ve seen jane eyre , i ' ve seen inglourious basterds , i ' ve seen this movie angel that i only got halfway through but he was in it . but i do have a weird obsession with him , i do . it ' s very bizarre . i just think he ' s really talented , and i think it would be fun to be alone with him in a bedroom , naked . i don ' t know why that ' s weird to anybody . [ laughs . ]
you ' re writing a screenplay with damon , i hear . let ' s just say that it ' s not brad and jane . it ' s not them at all . it ' s arguably the funniest thing ever , in capital letters . we ' re definitely pushing it forward as much as we can . damon kind of came up with the idea and brought it to me , and we ' ve taken it and run with it . it ' s so hard to get anything made in this town , but we ' re gonna work on it and work on it until we can hopefully do something with it .
before the sub blows up , and they fall to their deaths in the acid . sniffles launches the sub back up to giggles ' throat and giggles yawned and the sub flew out . josh accidentally opens the sub hatch and he and lumpy fall and splatter on the ground . the sub grew large again . suddenly , giggles coughs out the remains of lifty and shifty ' s sub / plane machine and cuddles swallows them . this made sniffles groan and facepalm as he had to go inside cuddles . he did so and giggles put the sub back into cuddles ' glass of water and cuddles drinks it and the iris closes on his face .
one of your career goals when you were starting out was to be on saturday night live . and now you ' re on a show with someone who actually was on snl , casey wilson . has she demystified that for you ? i think it got demystified for me when i got this job at the heartland brewery in times square , where they have the after - parties for snl . and that ' s the only reason i worked there , because i thought , this is the way i can meet all of them and finagle my way onto the show . i ended up working one of those parties and i was also the bathroom attendant for some of their other parties — don ' t ask — and i think that i saw those people then and thought , huh . like , i used to sneak downstairs on saturday nights when i was a little kid to watch snl on my parents ' little black - and - white tv in the kitchen … and no , i grew up in new hampshire , i didn ' t grow up in , like , 1905 ; they just had a black - and - white tv because they loved antiques . whatever ! anyway , i was obsessed with that show , and i don ' t really watch it that much anymore , but now it ' s funny because i have friends on the show : i was in groundlings with taran killam , and i used to do my one - person show right before bobby moynihan ' s show at ucb . but it is interesting to hear casey talk about it , and also bobby moynihan came on and did an episode of our show , so to hear him and taran talk about it , it ' s just so not what i thought it was going to be . [ whispers . ] but of course , i ' d still do it .
tell me about the next episode . from all the photos i ' ve seen , it looks like you ladies are objectifying james wolk , getting him shirtless , and running your hands through his chest hair . we were just supposed to take his shirt off in that scene , and then i , of course , got very uncomfortably close to him . and it was really funny because james , the actor , broke when i did that and he laughed , but it was such a good take that they used it because it works for his character . what’s funny is that there’s a scene where damon’s coming down the stairs and i’m like basically groping this man , and when they yelled ,
cut ,
damon was like ,
you should really just put your hands all over him .
and i’m like ,
okay . done and done .
[ laughs . ] so damon and i , we help each other to do things to other men as well .

extremely charming , sadly obscure comedy with a stellar cast . debbie is most appealing , curd jurgens full of continental brio , alexis smith saucy and sly , john saxon very handsome and estelle winwood an absolute sketch as the spacy housekeeper mrs . early . catch it if you have the chance .

wallace stands looking through a thick polycarbonate wall at a restrained half man . the neo - reaper strained against the thick metal shackles keeping him locked to the standing bed , bright work lamps shinning on him burning any of the inky black tendrils that attempt to slither out of the subject .
dr . hindman , how long has the subject been awake ?
wallace turned looking at a man in a white lab coat , the junetics logo stitched over the left pocket .
over 48 hours sir . no sign of desegregation of the subjects motor functions nor his mental capacity .
wallace nodded , tapping the table in front of him .
he ' s recovered from all damage done to him ?
yes sir , he has healed everything , even partial destruction of the brain . damage caused by fire heals the slowest and as you know light causes the darkness parasite extreme pain and damage .
about as well as the other test subjects you have provided us sir , only the darkness parasite doesn ' t seem to have the caloric storage capacity of the other subjects causing the damage to heal slower then equilibrium . so far the only subject to have greater then equilibrium healing when exposed to ' trockle ' s gift ' was the one you made with the fluoridated body chemistry as apposed to an oxygenated one , however as i wrote in the report that subject died when we stopped supplying fluoride to its atmosphere , and the autopsy showed a slow but building fluoride poisoning in the body .
of course sir .
the doctor wrote a note on his clipboard .
shall i take samples and suspend them in cryo ?
no , sequence it ' s genetic codes . should we need a new sample we ' ll just make a new one , keeping one on ice is much too risky .
wallace turned and walked out of the room , pulling out his phone and calling a number on his speed dial .
keep an eye on the trio , should the male become infected i want that area firebombed . report when he has engaged the two females so we can have a bomber in the air should he fail . if he succeeds report his process .
wallace hung up the phone and looked out a window over the city of denver , construction crews quickly repairing the damage done by the terrorists and traitors who threatened to destabilize the world again and put humanity back at the edge of extinction , fracturing humanity to the point where when the borsons return there would be no hope of fighting them . wallace ' s hand turned a cement brick in the wall into dust as he thought about them .
i will save humanity .
he growled to himself , eyes narrowing .
i will make sure nothing will get so close to killing us again .
wallace let go of the wall , seemingly oblivious to the damage he did , and walks down the hall eyes set forward to his next appointment .
josh , toothy , lumpy , cuddles and giggles are at sniffles ' house . josh and toothy play chess while giggles gives them glasses of fresh water and sandwiches . meanwhile , lifty and shifty are flying with their sub / plane machine that they stole from sniffles once . they spot an open window and look at each other and laughed their signature laugh . lifty shrinks the sub / plane machine and flies through the open window .
sniffles noticed that there is a speck flying around his house , so did josh and toothy . it buzzed pass cuddles and then it hovered near giggles . then giggles opened her mouth in awe and the sub / plane machine went in with a gulp . cuddles can tell it is lifty and shifty when he hears their signature laugh when he put his ear on giggles ' abdomen . sniffles comes up with a plan . he sends josh , toothy and lumpy to his submarine and asks cuddles to look after giggles when they go inside her . sniffles shrinks the sub and cuddles picks it up carefully and drops it into a glass of water . cuddles then lends the water to giggles and then she drinks it , sending sniffles ' sub down her mouth ( josh looks at the uvula on the way and was amazed by it ) , throat and gullet .
torpedoes at each other , causing giggles to feel uncomfortable . sniffles finally launches a large torpedo . lifty and shifty said

nobody really understands eventhough i have got very understanding friends and girlfriend . hang in there ! ! !
thanks leley , hope you can find the strength to get your mind focused on something else , probabely the hardest thing to manage . i myself try all sorts but it always goes back to those horrible feelings . today someone asked how i was , and i started crying just like that . poor woman didnt know what to do . but we have to carry on trying .
hopefully we can help eachother somewhat . if i find any helpfull things i will let you know . i ll keep on searching . keep the faith girl !

i’m glad to see how marriage has evolved . it used to be much more transactional — happening principally to foster economic benefits or social standings or to produce children — but nowadays people typically choose to commit themselves legally to each other for far more noble goals . more and more people marry with the intention of experiencing lasting love and companionship .
frustrated and hurt , these women compound the problems in their relationships by judging and criticizing they partner . then the punishment escalates and they withdraw and withhold sex , affection , and attention .
“i don’t give a shit what he does . i’m right and he’s wrong ! ”
so many women sit there in judgment and righteousness while their relationship falters . they expect a near perfect mirror image of themselves , someone who agrees with them and who behaves the way they want them to behave .
these women let their hurt and anger run roughshod in their relationships . small resentments turn into poisonous darts . fights over the dishes become biblical .
it’s like that old prophetic bumper sticker : the beatings will continue until the morale improves . but the morale never improves !
never does treating someone badly give you what you want — at least not in a healthy relationship based on trust and safety .
you can fight . you can yell . you can withhold . you can sit there in your judgment and self - righteousness , running the narrative in your head over - and - over again about how you’re right and how he’s wrong , wrong , wrong . how he’s a selfish asshole . a frustrating idiot . an uncaring egomaniac .
what did i do ? looking back , i admit that i did some crazy shit . and it is shit . why did i ever think that punishing my husband by turning away from him and harboring resentments would ever get me what i wanted ? how could i possibly think that punishing him and withdrawing from him would magically give me more love , attention , praise , and affection ? it’s nuts . it’s self - sabotage .
my marriage brought me to my knees . i was with someone brilliant , generous , funny , charming , and so much more . but jesus , how we pushed each others’ buttons . the pain i felt in our relationship as a result was excruciating .
after finally figuring out that punishing him for my hurt gave me the opposite of what i want , i came to the last possible conclusion . i decided that i needed to change . i decided to try more love and tenderness and less judgment and punishment .
a mentor of mine , david bell , said something brilliant to me , “trying to change another person is an act of aggression . trying to change yourself is an act of love . ”
what’s happened as a result has been brilliant . i started tuning much more actively into my husband — prioritizing him , touching him regularly ( holding his hand , sitting very close to him , hugging him , rubbing his shoulders , etc ) , more actively praising and appreciating him , and — crucially — not letting my ego get the best of me and not letting my need to be right lead to armageddon . as a result , i have managed to bring out the best in my husband .
our relationship has become light years better , and i feel much happier and more empowered .

in the last episode , brad gets high and compares everyone to the characters from friends , and you were the monica . is that fair ? do you owe a debt of gratitude to courteney cox ? i mean , i think every single tv show is somewhat of a carbon copy of a different show , but just done a different way . if we wanna take thing back to real dork land , every single piece of anything on television , film , or theater is derived from shakespeare or some greek play , so we all owe those people for the archetypes that have been created . friends definitely created a mold that we filled , but what i love about our show is that we ' ve taken those archetypal characters and put them through a fun house mirror .

the film is the prequel to the namco tales studio 's role-playing game tales of vesperia and the first animated feature film in the tales series .

tales of vesperia : the first strike revolves around the two knights , yuri lowell and flynn scifo , from the niren corps as they protect a town from monsters with their allies .

the project was led by kenta kamei who previously worked on the animated cutscenes from the tales games .

he expressed pressure due to first strike being his debut as a director and also elaborated on how difficult was creating the storyboard .

yoshida was given the role of screenwriter in order to appeal to the female fanbase the series has always had .

it was released in japan on october 3 , 2009 , as a result of delays in production .

kadokawa pictures distributed the film .

it was released in north america on june 26 , 2012 , by funimation entertainment and in the united kingdom on december 3 , 2012 , on dvd and blu-ray by u.k. anime industry .

the film grossed a total of us$ 941,610 in japan .

its home media release had positive sales in japan , with the blu-ray being one of the bestselling from the year it was released .

critical reception of the film has been generally positive for its accessibility to the non-gamers of tales of vesperia as well as the appeal of the main cast and the production value .

nevertheless , it has also attracted criticism for its slow pace .

tales of vesperia : the first strike is the official name for the anime adaptation of tales of vesperia , which was released as an animated feature film in japan in autumn 2009 . it is the same season in which the playstation 3 port was released . the movie is a prequel to the game , depicting yuri ' s time as an imperial knight .

it goes without saying then that i was excited to catch the animated prequel tales of vesperia : the first strike . i wasn ' t expecting much beyond some tov fanservice , but what i ended up finding was a fantastic edition to the vesperia lore and a great stand alone film in its own right .
title drop : unique among the tales series games , their guild name lets the title
vesperia
be dropped repeatedly .
true blue femininity : in her introduction in the game , as well as in the first strike , she ' s wearing blue .
shock and awe : havoc thunder spikes the ground with a ligthning enhanced strike .
pick this one up if you ' re a serious tales of vesperia fan or you just a dig a good fantasy romp .
content : ( please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers ) based off one of the games in the long running “tales” videogame franchise , tales of vesperia : the first strike is an animated feature that is set in the time before the vesperia game and which serves as a prologue to many of the characters who feature prominently in that game as it examines the life yuri lowell lead and his connection to flynn before the events depicted in the video game .
perhaps the most surprising thing about the first strike is how accessible it is to viewers who have never played tales of vesperia . both yuri and flynn receive full arcs of development that get them to where they need to be by the start of the game . the film doesn ' t assume you know who either of these two men are and does an impressive job of defining their relationship and opposing views of the imperial guard . estelle , rita and raven from tales of vesperia all make brief cameos but they ' re not intrusive , serving as painless fanservice for veterans of the game . the end credits are also a neat bit of fanservice that actually made me want to go back to my ps3 copy of tales of vesperia . the first strike tells a simple but effective story , only really stumbling in its climactic battle which feels somewhat like an afterthought .

article . i almost had a heart attack of epic proportions . tales of graces f is amazing ; we need xillia !
the original tales of vesperia , released in 2008 on the xbox 360 , was something of a break through for the current generation . in many ways one of the first big jrpgs to hit an hd console , vesperia got a lot of things correct . despite being the first hd tales game , it has yet to be visually surpassed within its own series . the main character , yuri , was also something of a revelation . at 21 , he was one of the older tales main characters and far more mature than most jrpg fans are probably used to .
tales of vesperia : the first strike is a great looking film . kousuke fujima ' s character designs shine through on the big screen , with the background art also providing plenty of eye candy . there are brief moments where the animation quality falters , but on the whole this is a consistently beautiful movie and not some rushed effort .
the issue with first strike is just how irrelevant and pointless it really feels , those of you reading this who ' ve not played the game should know that the events of first strike are never even remotely alluded to in the game , at all - those of you who have played it should already know that , hence my frustration . if there was even some mention of the events that happened in first strike at any point in the game , i would have understood why it is that it was made and why the events happened the way they did , but it isn ' t , and first strike doesn ' t just come across as one , but really does feel like a lame cash grab for namco bandai to cash in on the success of vesperia .

it ' s the same , now it sucks : a frequent criticism tossed at vesperia was how it ' s too similar to previous tales series entries , particularly borrowing quite a number of elements from the last mothership game released in america , tales of the abyss .

if you enjoyed the tales of vesperia videogame , you will like this movie . it is a prequel to the game , and shows some of what happened in yuri and flynn ' s lives prior to the start of the game .

all in all , tales of vesperia : the first strike , is a great movie , with amazing battle scenes , art , and music . although the plot is a bit cliche , you will forgive that factor , as the good points will be overwhelming . and honestly , i recommend that you should watch this before playing the game , as it guarantees that you will not be disappointed .
i bought this because i love , love , love , the tales of vesperia video game . there are parts of this film that don ' t really jive with what happened in the video game . however , that didn ' t bother me so much as the combination of good voice actors being replaced by less good voice actors , and complete lack of plot . that said , i ' d totally buy a tales of vesperia 2 video game .
crappy old ass wii game ? rofl the game is newer than your blurry sub hd vesperia . you ' re just hung up on the wii origins part . vesperia is a chore beyond the 50 % mark , and it ' s challenge is mostly chain comboing with yuri given how easy the game is . i ' ll go further than the post above and say that vesperia is a tales of the abyss for the noobs . anyway graces ps3 version added ton of contents as usual with namco and their tales ports ( juste like vesperia ) , so it ' s price tag is justified enough .
animation wise , first strike is handled by production i . g , who also did the anime cut - scenes for the game , which means that the standard that is used in the game itself is used here .
one point i should mention about the music is the surprising , and pleasing , choice of theme song . like the original game , the tales of vesperia movie has

daddy issues : in the first strike the death of his father , as well as feeling like he died a useless death , weighs heavily on flynn . by the end of the movie , he realizes otherwise and instead takes inspiration from his father from then on .

despite the fact that it was released later on the playstation 3 in japan , tales of vesperia is the only installment of the series released exclusively on the xbox 360 in north america and europe , and it is the only game in the series to be released on a microsoft console .
he backs away from estelle in aversion—innocuous at first , but foreboding in hindsight .
inspector javert : very determined to pursue yuri for a good chunk of the first act , which he lampshades .
bandai namco stated the cg scenes will set records for the tales series , using more cell - shaded characters , appearing less rough like in tales of the abyss and more anime - like . additionally , the main theme ,
ring a bell
, will be sung by bonnie pink in both japan and north america . for the second time in the main games of the series , the skits are fully voiced in north america ; tales of legendia was the first to offer this feature .
: he ' s mentioned a few times and makes brief appearances during the first arc .
walking spoiler : pretty much everything about him beyond his minor role in the first act .
big damn heroes : shows up at the end of the first arc to disable barbos ' s special blastia powered weapon .
the “tales” series has spawned an impressive number of games and not a few anime adaptations , of which this is the third to get an english language release . unlike the previous tales animations , however , tales of vesperia ' s anime is not an adaptation , but rather a prequel to the video game . if you ' ve played the game , you will doubtless appreciate this more on an immediate level , but those unfamiliar with it can still find plenty to enjoy .
tales of vesperia : the first strike introduces a number of new characters who were not originally shown in the original game , as well as returning ones . the film introduces the main protagonist , yuri lowell , as an imperial knight ; as well as a younger version of flynn scifo , yuri ' s childhood friend and imperial knight . many other characters from the original game will also be returning such as repede when he was a puppy , rita mordio , estelle , raven and imperial commandant alexei .
in the end if i seem harsh on the film its because tales of vesperia is just so good and the first strike unfortunately doesn’t reach its highs for a variety of reason i have set out and that is kinda disappointing to a fan such as myself . however that does not mean its not enjoyable its actually a good action adventure story that just happens to work into a games story . also as a companion to the game the film works very well with numerous winks and hat tips to the source that many fans would enjoy but doesn’t actually take away from the enjoyment of the crowd if one is not in on the joke , what i’m getting at is the film isn’t like a pair of obnoxious friends who save all the fun for themselves with their in jokes . the film can be enjoyed by anyone due to its inviting atmosphere but without any doubt it’ll be best enjoyed by fans of the game . in short if you wish to watch tales of vesperia : the last strike play tales of vesperia first it’ll really enhance you understanding and enjoyment of the film and hey its an amazing game but don’t feel limited by that either if you really want to check out the film there are worse ways to spend a couple hours of your time certainly . as always thanks for reading and sound off in the comments .

twitter , 10 jun 2018 , 4 : 00 pm .
at the end of the first act , he is soundly defeated by yuri and company . he dies after throwing himself from off the top of ghasfarost tower .
was released in europe making it the second console game in the tales series to be released there . the game ' s
moving away from the pure art direction . the technical merits of the film are evident in the battles scenes . as each scenes conveys its unique circumstances and threats quite well in superbly animated and fluid battles that are truly a feast for the eyes . unlike many anime where the quality dips and takes one out of the moment this does not happen in the first strike and is all the better for it . in short from an anime fans perspective the first strike is a vibrant and gorgeous display of technical achievement that is very easy to be admired even as the film grows longer in the tooth by the day .
back story : unusually for a tales game , he stands out as being the only vesperia party member to get a fully fleshed out backstory . a large chunk of it is only all there in the manual through bonus materials though .
imo they shouldve localized vesperia , xillia instead of graces f . atleast namco is localizing ninokuni and hopefully one piece aswell .
the pirate aifreed is a recurring element in the tales series games , either as an non - player character or a person of legend . as patty is aifreed , this makes it the first time an aifreed is a player character .
like the other tales games , the player can invoke this by putting silly costumes and visible accessories on characters , destroying the seriousness of some scenes .
though tales of vesperia is the first main game to have online content , it does not do too much with the capabilities . it features only worldwide rankings on minigames , hit count , and completion time . additionally , useful rare items can be bought , though nothing that can not be acquired in the game is available for download .
yeah man , vesperia is one of the best games in the tales series but we get the crap one for ps3 . a crappy old ass wii game for 60 bucks . seriously , is a miracle that bandai hasn ' t gone bankrupt yet .
which she proves later when she leads a big damn heroes after brave vesperia is incapacitated by the big bad .
knight of cerebus : vesperia is an inversion for the entire series . from this point on , the games stopped focusing on serious issues like cloning blues , fantastic racism and free will and instead focusing on more traditional jrpg themes of green aesops and the power of friendship . ironically , the vigilante killings give vesperia some of the series ' darker moments .
when he rescues the rest of the party in the blade drifts of zophier .
also , i ' ve had tales of vesperia for a while and have only seen the cover and i was positive that yuri was a girl . i swear when yuri spoke in that really deep manly voice i was like wat .
i ' ll cover the second point later on , but first and foremost , my first point : first strike is supposed to be a prequel to the game , right ? now , a prequel , in most cases anyway , is supposed to be used to set up events for whatever comes next in the series - first strike doesn ' t do that at all . when i went to watch this movie , i thought i would have a better understanding of yuri ' s deep - seated hatred for the knights , why it is that he chose to leave them , why flynn decided to stay and why it is he believes that he could change the knights by using the system , i got none of that whatsoever .
on the whole , tales of vesperia ~ the first strike ~ is one of those movies that you can ' t fully appreciate unless you know the full story , and that ' s its biggest flaw . people don ' t really want to be burdened with having to complete a game that they may not even be interested in just to find out what happens next , which plays a major part in whether one can enjoy this movie or not . the more rlaxed viewer may not be overly concerned with the lack of a true ending , and the movie does have a good degree of entertainment value in its own right , but in all honesty , this is one for fans of the game and the tales franchise .
: when they form the guild

estelle later explains to yuri the origin of the name : the story of how a sister and brother who fought and defeated a great cataclysm .
breather boss : the first yeager boss battle . he doesn ' t even have a secret mission !
one of the entelexeia , several of which you have killed by this point of the game .
the dev team thinks of everything : similar to tales of the abyss , the final boss has a conversation with the party leader . and yes , this even happens if repede is the party leader .
early - bird cameo : there is a series of optional scenes featuring him . the first couple of these are triggered before he is formally introduced to the player .
the lancer : qualifies for this trope in terms of the story due to his personality differences with yuri and the fact that he ' s always either the first the one to back him up , or the first one to disagree with him . combat - wise , he ' s more of the big guy .
friendly fandoms : a lot of fans of this game are also fans of the blaz blue series since the first installment came out internationally not too long after this game ' s international release .
hold the line : the safest option to take in the first round of the fight against the baitojoh . attacking it can potentially end the fight faster , but offers no additional reward .

marshmallow hell : a light example in first strike where chastel accidentally ( but persistently ) pulls flynn ' s face into her assets as she ' s trying to heal him . chastel doesn ' t notice , but flynn does .
friend to all children : downplayed but yuri is actually rather good with kids , from the likes of ted to karol and even patty . this is probably because he doesn ' t talk down to them . first strike shows him rescuing and befriending a little girl .
the castle ' s background music is more tense and dramatic than the situation and its status as the first dungeon calls for .
inspector javert : to the party in the first act . downplayed as he lets them get away with more than the usual .
graces is anything but crappy . . you ' re not a tales of fan . . . as graces f is the pinacle of team destiny design . . .
she spends the first half of the second part hiding her conflict between keeping her life ' s mission a secret and her newfound friendship to the party .
dishing out dirt : both his first arte and his first mystic arte have a definitive
earth
theme to them . much like presea , another team symphonia under - age mighty glacier .
fanon discontinuity : many fans claim this towards the first strike movie due to its arguably odd approaches to characterization and its many inconsistencies with the game . one of many examples regards rita being knowledgeable about aer krenes , when in the game , she never knew what one was until the visit to keiv moc .
well , in the voice tracks of tales of magic carta , yuri states that he can ` t see its shape clearly given the fact that he ` s right under it .

cutscene power to the max : remember gattuso , the infuriatingly difficult boss of ehmead hill ? clint ' s first appearance has him one shot it .

sadly , when the camera pulls away from the characters , the quality seems to drop - there was one moment in particular that the characters just completely lost their faces even though there was dialogue going on , but aside from this , first strike does what it needs to do in the animation department .
thankfully it ends up being subverted , as yuri is at least willing to hear her reasoning first .
four over limit gauges can be stocked , which can be used on one character or shared with the party . each over limit level stacks the bonuses of the previous ones . four additional over limit gauges were added for the enhanced playstation 3 port of tales of vesperia . although the over limit gauge can go up to eight , the same character can only use four at once :
i don ' t see what the big deal is . that was clearly the king of town making a surprise cameo . he ' s there to cross promote the new game tales of strong badia .
tales of vesperia was ported to the playstation 3 and released on september 17 , 2009 . the playstation 3 version of the game features full - voice acting , which is nearly double the size of the script in the original xbox 360 version . the game also features various new characters such as flynn as a fully customizable , permanent playable character , and patty fleur , a young girl with blond hair , who is an entirely new playable character . the game also features several unplayable characters from tales of vesperia : the first strike , which the game ties - in with . in addition , repede , flynn , and patty become selectable as on - screen avatars with new mini - games such as a racing mini - game for repede , new subplots , skits , and main game quests , and sidequests . the game also has new songs added to the game ' s soundtrack together with remodeled towns and new towns and dungeons . the game also includes new bosses such as the sword dancer from previous tales games , don whitehorse , and clint of the hunting blades . players are also able to replay boss fights at nam cobanda isle .
- rare for a tales game , vesperia doesn ' t focus much on any romance , barring a line of dialogue here or there that hints one character may like another . despite the two main characters being male and female , they don ' t very much resemble an
but it didn ' t , and i am left feeling really angry and annoyed at how irrelevant it is to the entire story of vesperia as a whole .
a pirate named aifreed appears in most tales games as some notable historical figure , or rarely an npc . as patty ' s true identity is aifreed , it marks the first and only time an aifreed is a playable character .
also notable as a call back joke to lloyd ' s wanted posters in tales of symphonia , which themselves are referenced in the denebola inn in halure .
also when he first learns his mystic arte — he gets it in a sidequest where he trains using the sword of his hero . the sidequest comes shortly after
ragtag band of misfits : and how . may be the most prominent example in tales history . each of the party members came from such different backgrounds that none of them knew each other prior to the beginning of the story ( unless you count repede and / or flynn ) .

in summary : tales of vesperia : the first strike is a fantastically animated feature that may also be one of the best adaptations of an rpg world that has been created in a different medium . the production team takes care to explain the mechanics of the world in a way that it adds a dimension to the characters that dwell there while not losing site that the world is merely the background for both where and how events happen . to fully utilize this world , the producers create some fabulous characters , particularly in the case of a pair of characters who are opposites in most ways , which allows for an exploration of different motivations which leads to a deeper understanding of the characters as well as an appreciation for the different philosophies that can spring from a single event . that the film then balances all of this with a superb pacing helps to create a rather stunning work in the final measure that doesn’t have to hide in the shadow of its game franchise and which tells a compelling story of its own .
smug snake : he seems like one at first , but we soon learn he ' s much worse .
: has turned down rewards for several of brave vesperia ' s jobs , much to the rest of the guild ' s economic despair . also doesn ' t mind when people attribute his heroics to flynn ,
a more subtle comes in the form of how much stronger monsters and particularly bosses are compared to other tales series games are like . in universe , the survival of humans depends on the barriers to keep out the monsters within the world .
those two guys : adeccor and boccos . the first moment you see them , you immediately know their only purpose in the game .
the european namco bandai twitter back in 2015 told fans they were listening to them about localizing more games . in response , people suggested vesperia , to which they stated
yeah not that one
. when the hd remaster was announced , the tales of twitter responded to the original tweet with the response , quickly becoming a meme .
tales of vesperia , the game that is , happens to be a very special game to me - sure , its story isn ' t its highest selling point and the game really drags towards the end , but overall , i had a blast experiencing the world of terca lumiries - especially the characters , vesperia has one of my favourite video game casts ever , particularly rita mordio - who i have a great adoration for , being my favourite female character in any form of media to date . however , until necessary , i won ' t let
with all this in mind , i should have loved the tales of vesperia movie , if not loved at least thought it was pretty good , but i didn ' t and there is a very good reason for that - wait , scratch that , two very good reasons . the first being that , this movie is really pointless . the second is that they completely undermined everything that makes yuri lowell the character that he is .
yeah it was a good movie . i wish they would bring it over to ps3 even if its just subs i wouldnt mind . the movie made me want the game more . then again most tales series , ovas , or movies are pretty damn good . i like tales of symphonia the most .
up to pushing him out of a trap that got the rest of the party .
karol finally comes to a decision and gives a speech in that regard . it ' s one of his first real big steps forward in
a good example comes early on during the first visit to deidon hold : when the lord of the plains and a hoard of monsters attack , who is the first one to jump in to help people ? it ' s not estelle , it ' s yuri . he even goes back for a little girl ' s doll .
tales of vesperia : the first strike takes place before the events of the xbox 360 game , detailing yuri ' s time spent in the imperial guard . young and sporting a devil may care attitude , yuri often disobeys orders in favor of following his heart . this greatly frustrated his childhood friend and roommate flynn , who is a stickler for the rules . deployed to a small town called shizontania , the two men join a squad led by niren fedrok . jovial and well loved by the people he fights to protect , niren is a commanding officer who values the people directly in front of him rather than the orders of those above . one day , the forests surrounding the town begin to whither and monsters have been seen approaching the city more and more often . with the situation growing increasingly more dangerous and no support from the empire , it ' s up to yuri , flynn and the rest of the niren corps to protect the people of shizontania .
hermes , the inventor of the aer - guzzling blastia of the same name , was a krityan .
a particularly memorable callback , especially to tales of eternia and tales of phantasia , in the ps3 version : rita unlocks her second mystic arte ( indignation ) by re - enacting the opening to tales of phantasia in the 200 - man melee against dhaos . if she gets dhaos to under half his hp and casts thunder blade in overlimit 4 or higher , she ' ll cast indignation instead . dhaos will utter
sonna . . . sonna bakana ! !
, and the spell will instantly kill him .
i actually expect funimation to have dubs for the movie , unlike what bandai entertainment did with the tales of the abyss anime ( subs only ) . let ' s just hope they manage to get the same voice actors in the game for some of the characters .
ship tease : rare for a tales game , vesperia doesn ' t focus much on any romance , barring a line of dialogue here or there that hints one character may like another . despite the two main characters being male and female , they don ' t very much resemble an official couple .
this animated movie is a prequel to the tales of vesperia video game . having played the game , i knew this going into the film . as such , i expected it to be a short film with decent animation , several cameos of characters from the game , and a passable story that relies on knowledge of the video game ' s plot and world to know what ' s going on . what i got was a much better film than i would have guessed ! instead of mildly entertaining film that relies on nostalgia , tales of vesperia : first strike is an excellent movie that stands strongly on it ' s own merits ! the film is well animated and full of excellent action scenes . the story is fluid , thought out , and character driven . the characters are well realized , well acted , and instantly lovable . careful consideration for the audience is given for this film : you don ' t need to have played the game to understand what ' s going on in the film , but those who have played the game will find a lot to enjoy ! every thing about this film is solid ! highly recommended !
blood knight : flynn tries to keep a lid on it ( such behavior is unbecoming of a knight , after all ) , but he enjoys a good fight just as much as yuri . best shown in the first strike when yuri instigates a bar fight . annoyed , he tries to stay out of it until one of the brawlers punches him in the face . a second later he returns the favor then charges into the fray himself .
twin red heads hisca and chastel are also introduced into the canon but aren ' t utilized as much as i would have liked . some of my favorite scenes in the film centered around their banter with the two male leads and i ' m sad there wasn ' t more of it . these two characters are never mentioned in the original tales of vesperia , but they both make appearances in the updated ps3 version .
the radiant winged one ' s second mystic arte , brave vesperia , combines parts of all the party ' s mystic artes into something that can cause a total party wipe instead of just hp to one like big bang .
: they take it personally when brave vesperia kills yeager . gauche calls them out for it , just before their boss battle begins :
brave vesperia receives the blessing of the world ' s leaders to carry out their plan . however , duke pantarei , a veteran of the great war who has lost his faith in humanity , has revived an ancient weapon called tarqaron with the intention of sacrificing the lives of every human in the world in order to power the weapon and destroy the adephagos . brave vesperia confronts him at the peak of tarqaron , but neither can stand down due to their shared desire to save the world in their own ways . duke and brave vesperia fight to resolve their conflict of beliefs , and yuri manages to convince duke that humanity is willing to give up their blastia to save the world . with the aid of duke and power of every blastia core summon spirit in the world , yuri forms a giant sword that allows him to cleave the adephagos in two , converting it into hundreds of thousands of spirits itself , revitalizing the world .
in this prequel to the tales of vesperia xbox 360 game , flynn and yuri are young knights under the command of niren fedrock in a remote outpost town . something strange is happening in the surrounding countryside that is endangering the people niren ' s squadron is charged to protect , a bizarre mutation of the power known as “aer . ” as niren works to figure out what is going on , flynn and yuri must come to terms with their pasts and their reasons for becoming knights in the first place , as well as what it is they want for the future .
deconstructor fleet : vesperia takes aim at protagonist - centered morality . what gives a hero the right to completely and utterly change the world based on their own individual view of morality , completely discarding the opinions of the millions that also live in their world ?
the pop quiz in nam cobanda tests your knowledge of the tales series . in a nice touch , the american and european releases removed questions on games that had not been released in their respective regions .
flynn shoves yuri out of the way of a laser beam fired by alexei .
at the beginning of the two halves of the fight . it ' s taken directly from the japanese version , where he pronounces the words
first , if you collected all the fell arms it will unlock their true power . second , duke uses it to give the very last drop of energy they need to take down the adephagos .
thankfully first time director kamei kanta and writer yoshida reiko have kept things simple and direct , and because of this tales of vesperia actually manages to become interesting to a degree , enough to at least enjoy the movie and maybe consider buying the game ( more on this in a bit ) . the one thing that most surprised me though , is how very different the feel and tone is from the game , and while both have lighter and darker moments throughout their respective stories , there is a certain brevity inherent in the movie that the game lacks , partly due to the rpg nature of the latter , and partly because of the need to wrap the story up within 110 minutes .
capital city - zaphias , capital of the empire , and dahngrest , capital of the union .
improbable aiming skills : downplayed , but when he first joins the party in keiv moc , raven shows off some pretty impressive archery skills .
animated films and tv series based off of video game properties rarely do a good job of representing their source material . either the production focuses too hard on the fanservice or it tells a story too unrelated for fans to identify with the characters and universe . the first strike hits the sweet spot in that it dives into the past of two of the most beloved characters from the game , telling a smaller , more personal tale . in doing so , director kanta kamei and his crew have created a film that fans and non - fans alike can enjoy .
a few new characters are introduced into the lore as well but aren ' t quite as fleshed out as the two leads . niren fedrok is the most important of the bunch , directly effecting the growth of both yuri and flynn . it ' s his leadership and belief in the people that drive yuri to eventually become the man he is in tales of vesperia . similarly , niren plants the seeds in flynn that help him find a balance between obeying orders and following one ' s own heart .
it later received an updated rerelease for the playstation 3 , which in turn led to an extreme amount of outrage from people who had bought an xbox 360 specifically for vesperia . debate rages on whether or not namco bandai released a deliberately unfinished game ( or dummied out parts ) with the intention of releasing the
complete
version for the playstation 3 , where it was expected to make the majority of sales . a fan translation of the playstation 3 version is also in progress here , by the same team behind the ill - fated tales of graces fan translation .
