| good episode! Yukiko persona episode! the fight scene was amazing and i guess the main chara, Yuu gained another new persona lol next episode looks better than this episode. (hopefully it is)! |
| This was a great episode! They expanded on Yukiko's backstory and her work at the inn, something you don't see first-hand in the game. I'm loving the way they handle the Shadow Boss Fights, with the kidnapped still awake, facing their Shadow. Out of all the Personas from the Chariot Arcana, I didn't expect Ara Mitama, but o well. That Chie x Yukiko. And that laughing fit, it's great seeing that again, and yes its an endearing trait. Now that the original Investigation Team is finally together with Yukiko rescued, hopefully some of the game mechanics such as the weather system will be discussed to show non-game viewers why they didn't rescue Yukiko right away after Chie's Shadow and such. |

Solkiskey said: Wanna know why? because all that time you would had spent leveling up in the anime you got a better understanding of Yukiko's past and the relationship between her and Chie Plus that last scene with all the fire with the more fitting music made it even better.Thought this was done better than in the game. 4/5 as for other things lolwut Ara Mitama he was put to good use since using him as a Shield is all hes good for!,and MC joined the BBall team in the preview -mad..not really |

| Pretty good episode, the best one so far. I thought the pacing was much better as well, though I do think the series is a little to over dramatic and in your face with the psychological factor. |

The Arcana themselves are one big path of enlighment, and Atlus' Megami Tensei team (responsible for everything from the MegaTen series to Persona to Catherine) have always been very into psychological and religious themes (MegaTen in general is pretty much just a big mesh of different mythological and religious elements put together).Pretty good episode, the best one so far.

| Mother of God, this fight was amazing... ;_; I'm suddenly a bitch for moar fanarts of ChiexYukiko, though. 8D |
If I die and I find that I had a soul inside, Promise me you'll take it up to its final ride... |
| This episode really takes the trope talking is a free action to the limit. That aside where's the "weak!" appearing when chie was hit by fire or where's the bufu from chie or where's the little prince or or gahhhh. Well at least the fighting was decent though I would have liked if MC took part in it more than abusing his null fire. But hey seeing ara mitama means we're likely to see daisoujou and SAMSARA EDIT: Oh wait I forgot persona 4 it's neko shogun >:( |

I know and understand that, but I can't help but feel it could be a little better executed. I like the idea, being a fan of psychological stuff in general, just not the execution. It just didn't ring true for me. |

| I need me some Yukiko with some real glasses nao. Kuma with that voice and saying Yuki-chan totally tripped me up though... |

| Although I haven't played the game, I am picking up on some of the concepts (being a fan of both Jung and the Tarot), but there are still some moments of confusion. Frankly I thought more of the Two of Swords (Waite-Rider deck) for Yukiko rather than the High Priestess, but what do I know. Just how does one's Arcana card translate into powers or abilities? I'm missing something here. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| That was very enjoyable. 5/5 |
| Well, what more you can say about this episode, it seem like he is going to join a club now in the next episode but dunno. |

Rodac Said:Just how does one's Arcana card translate into powers or abilities? I'm missing something here. Supposedly in Persona the social links are made up of different people with different arcanas, which in the game when you start to raise your social link with them and forge stronger bonds, at the same time you'll also get to know their backstory. Their stories are reflective of their arcanas, so you're supposed to get powers from the different arcanas. Arcanas also have a wide range of personas that vary in abilities that fit the meanings of the arcanas, I think. So to simplify it, People with Arcanas give the MC more Persona. This episode was awesome, I always get freaked out by Yukiko's shadow boss form despite her very pretty persona. I'm so not looking forward to Ai. Ugh she pissed me off in her social link even though she did change for the better in the end. I can seriously see MC pimping out all social links like a boss now. PS: Ara Mitama? Really? |
 |
| Looks like we're getting sports Slinks next episode. How exciting. |
 |
PS: Ara Mitama? Really? If anything, the appearance of Ara Mitama means the other Mitamas may appear, WHICH also means we might see Neko Shogun if the anime does fusions in a way. |
| Rewatched with subs and I liked it. I don't know, but I didn't think it was rushed, probably because I watched it 2-3times to grasp everything though... Holy shit...Next episode seems pretty awesome...Ai Social Link startup and balls! :D Only MC would know: Looks like he joins basketball..

| Nothing really bad but nothing that good, either. Most of it was pretty boring but that was to be expected since Yukiko is my least favorite character. 3/5 |
| just finished watching it and damn, its so good, Yukiko all over again, best episode for me so far. now the real game starts here. |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| I thought this was a lovely episode. They did the whole Yukiko arc beary well. |
 |
FlashFumo said: Also, Persona 4 Reincarnation ost is out. Pretty awesome.. |
|
| Lesbians. I don't think it's fair that Chie gets a manly tough Persona and Yukiko gets a beautiful pretty one. Are they trying to be funny? I think it's rude. |
  |
| Yuri Field...:P Anyways I felt a bit bored with this episode. A bit too much talking. The fights were still good though. Yuu yet keeps getting another Persona. Curious as to why only him but I know it'll be explained later on as gamers keep saying. Not as good as previous but still good. Now about that murder mystery...where?? |

belatkuro said: If I may be so bold... no, there's actually no big explanation over why he can wield multiple Personae. He's the Fool Arcana, the wildcard. That's all. the only two that have defined explanation for their multiple Persona power are the heroes of persona 1 and 2.Yuri Field...:P Anyways I felt a bit bored with this episode.

Blackbird said: Is it just me that feel that episode were a bit rushing? Even thought it was just 20 minutes anime I feel it were shorter than this. I was a bit dissapointed with this episode hehe :P Exactly. I think they are rushing things. They could've made P4 better than this. Im really disappointed. The score just dropped by one.... Well anyways, I hope they can make up for it. |
| Rushed?! Seriously? The only thing they omitted here is the dungeon crawling part. lol They even get the dates spot on when stuff happens from the game. Manly Tears were shed. 5/5 Didn't think they could make this part of the game so emotional! I was shedding buckets of manly tears! The insert song only made it worse. Best episode so far. This showed more than the game did on Yukiko's back story. =D |

| Nice episode~ But I don't like Yukio's voice when she's laughing. x/ And: RealScreamer said: I hope I wasn't the only one who thought Chie and Yukiko were gonna kiss...Also, It's amazing how many times Chie said "Yukiko" the last two episodes... Truth. They were so close... o,,o ! |

A pretty persona dancing around flowers doesn't even suit Chie. She's the Chariot arcana, persona known for their brute strength, and she's a total tomboy. Whilst Yukiko is the complete opposite. The persona fit them fine. |

| good ep 5/5 and so far 10/10 for the anime! |
| enough with the " i am not u " power ups they should just stop them before they think that way...but it sure does feel like u are playing the game good adaptation |
| Ara Mitama? Oh wow i usually never uses those personas, i find them tiny and ugly ^^; Yukiko working at her inn was a great addition, i think these flashbacks are really useful and well made :) So it seems narukami will join the soccer club? And Ai already available? God damn his courage is increasing way too fast ;) |
nurkenn said: Hmm... This episode has good fighting scenes, and great use of symbolism such as the bird cage, but I feel like there is no suspense while fighting the shadows or the urgency of saving Yukiko before the next fog. I would say that our protagonists seemed super confident in being able to save Yukiko, which lacks the anxiety that they are supposed to have. I suppose the pacing might be off..? Regardless, kudos to the BGMs and ED scene. That blank card means a lot. The thing is, the game gives you plenty of time to prepare before you even have to save someone that gets trapped in the TV world. You never have to save the person right when they get kidnapped. In fact, its better if you hold off a little and work on Social Links before you do. Even if you do go ahead and try and save the person, you usually can't reach the end of the dungeon in one try, so you have to rest for the night and try again another day. This has to do with the calendar and weather system that is also in the anime. I'm hoping they explain this a bit in the next episode. |

| Urgh.. this 'You are not me' business will go on for a little while longer. =___= And why aren't the characters making their personas use elemental powers!? I want to see some garus and zios and bufus already (the one yosuke pulled in the last episode doesn't count). I like the whole cage and bird innovation though. Something fresh for the gamers as well. |
 |
| Pretty intense, same stuff once again though. And it'll repear for how many more times? But hey, cool bgm and not awful insert song for the first time, that's surely a huge step. |

| Did they get lazy or does the fact that Yukihiko's priestess arcana not showing in the ED sequence imply something you think? =o And damn...I thought Narukami NEEDED to pass out someplace at some point in this ep... I mean...seriously, easily summoning and switching between 3 different persona (immediately after he's 'attained' them) is supposed to be exhausting on him..... |
