| whoa wait what when how why huh The opening is amazing! DDDD: The ending is amazing! DDDD: Subs fucking when? DDDD: |
 |
| Disco Ninja frog appears! OP & ED was pretty good. Everyone so far looks good animated, especially Kanji. I think they introduced Mitsuo pretty well, he gave off that really creepy vibe. So even with the slight change, I didn't mind it. Better than the first episode..Also..LMAO @ Chie..10 fsteaks...Poor Yosuke. I wonder how they will handle the next episode with the two persona users. Hope they don't rush it. |
 |
| Where are you watching this? D': |
|
| i found spanish sub version i think but I wasnt paying attention to them I have a basic idea of what happened since i played the game and it pretty much is the same anyway. Ep 2 slowed down a bit but only a little so yeah its still a little overpaced but bareable to me at least. OP was awesome and ED sounded like a Remix of game OP dont know. Ninja frog down next comes the Dominatrix |

| Son of market found his persona, just like that nonchalant guy previous ep. Next ep will be that short hair girl. |

| For anyone who doesn't know, theanimenetwork.com is simulcasting at 1pm pst, 3pm est i believe. http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Persona-4/Episode-2/Watch |
 |
| Found a raw torrent. Downloading~ Then I wait for subs. ;_; |
|
| Subs are up on WAO. Pretty cool but the girl is starting to grate on my nerves. Shouldn't that bitch be like 400 pounds the way she shovels down the beefsteaks? Never understood why an insatiable appetite is considered 'cute' by the Japanese. I dislike her only outfit of clothes also. Dunno, I'm not feeling this series as much as some others I'm watching, but I'm not getting the 'DROP THIS SHIT NOW' vibe I got from Horizon yet. 3/5 |
| I'm really liking the OP~! I think this episode was great, and Teddy seemed awfully cute to me for some reason... Urgh...my urge to draw P4 fanart has been on the rise since this anime started airing. |
| Yosuke has obtained the facade used to face life's hardships, the Persona DISCO NINJA FROG! This is a great adaption, as far as I'm concerned. But of course, nothing to the original game. Also, the OP is LOVELOVELOVELOVE! |
| Awesome episode. I love how every scene and all the dialogue is virtually exactly as it originally was. Even the talking in the rain on the way to school scenes. This is the most faithful adaptation of anything I've ever seen. The animation also seemed better than last week. Those reports had me slightly concerned. Someone who hasn't played the game would probably think it's too fast paced. Sucks for them! This is a true show for fans. |
    |
| Watched the raw. I think that was much better than episode 1. In, like, every way. |
|
| Well it was quite good episode, nice fight and Hanamura got a persona. There will be more Shadow fights. :) Next time will be Chie fight the shadow and get a persona. He actually was a silent person till this episode he try to change. A lot of people that watching this anime have already finish the game. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| MUCH better than the first. Pacing was fine, animation quality still wavering, but it was fine |
| The shadow fight was handled fairy well,though I think they switched off the battle theme too early. While I love the game music they are using ,they need to put more though where the music is placed.Traumerei felt stupidly out of place, where you could have put Who's there? or Backside of The TV. Overall a pretty decent episode,can't wait for the next ep. |
 |
| I seem to watch each episode twice. Great fun, this series. P.S. The episode where they spend a few hours level-grinding in the castle is going to be awesome. ^^ |
| Loved Shadow Yosuke! He was always my favorite shadow. And Yuu is more courageous now! YAY! 1. Does anyone know if they are also going to dub it at the same time or does someone have to be interested in it 1st? 2. In the ending, it showed the Magician card floating toward Yuu. does that mean he got the social link? |
     |
| It seems that things are getting into place, thank god, the fight between Izanagi and Yosuke's shadows was aazing too, it would be so epic if Yuu actually said "Zio" LOL. DAT OP AMAZING. DAT ED AMAZING. Naoto is in the series. I HAVE NO REGRETS. |

XD hmm....it probably does symbolize that. Anyway, loved this ep. The random "emotes" even though kinda break the mood awkwardly still make me laugh. |

| Brosuke such a bro. Since they're having the characters get their persona first... I wonder when they're going to start with the S links... if they're even going to put them in. |
 |
| DAT OP. Kanjiiii~ (L)(L) AND SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, THE DISCO NINJA FROG VS IZANAGI FIGHT WAS SO DSDHJSAKJSALKSDJKFDKJDSFSD I died when I heard "I'll Face Myself". Talk about FANSERVICE, man. This' indeed a fans' show. (L)³³ I always feel sorry for Brosuke though, poor guy. Discovering everything in that way... ): |
If I die and I find that I had a soul inside, Promise me you'll take it up to its final ride... |
layfonkun said: Nice work, MC is a bit different from the game, but nothing too terrible. Considering everyone who played the game probably has slightly different opinions about his personality based on their own choices, that's to be expected, really. The only way they could meet one of my close friend's expectations, for example, would be by making him an apathetic jerk =P Anyway, not much to say. Wasn't too bad, wasn't really disappointing, not sure if I'm finding Teddie cute or annoying or both... |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Still Loving it only problem is there timing on the BGM makes it awkward at times but nontheless still Good times,forgot how creepy that guy at the front gate was and forever will be,but was so glad at the end was waiting For chie to mention more Steak!~ >3. PS truly can't wait for peoples reaction to Kanji. |
 |
| I guess I'm the only one bothered by the distincly tanned lower facial half of every characters... It was not present in older Persona games so I assume it's either the artist of the director's UV radiation fetish... Wasabi said: Brosuke such a bro. Sure... If not for a certain (actually, many...) event where he acts like a creepy perv or being a homophobic asshole ... -_- But hey, at least he's more bearable than that pedobear and his pedo followers... Did I just say "bearable"? (＾ω＾)┌∩┐ |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
shadowtsunami said: the animation sucks cool story, bro. To make my post clearer. I thought everyone in the opening looked good animated. Kanji looks really good:  Only one who looks "off" in the opening is Rise. And in all honesty, I really don't see the big deal in the animation during the show itself. Sure things can look a bit out of place but it's a big step up from the game during the cut-scenes. But this could all just be me, not looking at all the wrong things in the show and just watching for the story. |
|
| w/c part of the animation sucks? everything is "well-animated" anyway, this episode is well done imho, great to be exact, now P4 The Animation is a certified watch for me, a solid fan of the game, i haven't gotten to the point to be able to fuse Izanagi no Okami in New Game + though, school struck a great blow out of my gaming career anyway, can't wait for the next set of episodes and i hope the show doesn't get canceled because of AIC's stupid management btw, the OP/ED is awesome, especially the OP, addicting |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| damn i wish they wouldve stuck with the opening song from the game...that first episode got my hopes up i know i said i would wait for the vita port...but im seriously doubting that i get through the weekend without picking the game back up...i just hate how slow the persona games start off though |

Still, I think it's time to people understand that this is an adaptation. So we have to talk about the anime itself, things as such "in the game this was way better" or "in the game the pace is much better" isn't relevant in this discussion. Some posts already said this, but if you need to play the game, to think this is a good show (even though the QUALITY) then the show itself already failed in terms of being an anime. The only thing i'm sure is that I will only die in peace when I watch my Persona 3 adaptation. |
|
| Enjoyed it more than the first episode. Seems to have likable characters and a fairly original plot. Will have to see how this goes |
 |
| Way better than the first episode , this was good and didnt felt rushed , they explained things correctly. |
| btw, i hope they animate the "cooking battle" and "culture festival" scenes, they're highlights of the game for me ^^ |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
Vanisher said: Way better than the first episode , this was good and didnt felt rushed , they explained things correctly. The first episode was indeed rushed, they tried to put 1-2 hours of gameplay into 24 minutes, but it finished well though. |
|
| I liked it. I was worried about how they'd treat the Shadow Yosuke fight, but I thought it was well done. Somehow the manga and anime both had the idea to have the main character punch Yosuke. |
Mattcoww said: For an 23 minutes episode it was pretty cool! In this time they did what we do in about 1hr(or more). It has to be faster cause its an anime, not a game. LOL, it's his first post, yet one of more useful ones I've seen so far. |
|
| I'm too biased to give this anything lower than a 5/5 for this episode. Though, the pacing is a bit off, and the animation quality is a bit messy at times, but I'm on this bandwagon and I'm not leaving it dammit! |

| I liked it more than the first episode. |
 |
| I actually thought the 2nd episode of Persona 4 was much better than the first one. Or maybe it's just because I haven't seen that part of the story in game and don't know how it originally turned out. I thought some of the ideas like the shadow taunting a certain character was a nice idea but it was way to easily resolved. I may keep watching this, depends on my whim next week. |

| Nice...It's not exactly just like the game....Still having Fun... Funny thing the episode title just for the 1 minute of the show.. Still great..can't wait for the next one |
     |
| Ugh. What have they done to my beloved persona 4. The pacing wasn't fixed at all. |
 |
| Yeah, there seems to be an imbalance in the animation budget in AIC. Other than that, it's just like playing a game. Pacing isn't that bad but I wouldn't know if it's really bad or not since I didn't play the game. Narukami increased in Courage huh. Will we get to see that other guy's stats as well? |
