LOL~~~ I didn't see this either in actual airing and the raw!!


Lmao. It was just an edited photo, not really was shown in the show xD.

Do you ever think the protagonist will summon mara?


Doubt it. But I wouldn't be surprised if he does summon him. Mara is apparently one of the top 5 favorite personas, lmao.

Does this anime have a confirmed episode count yet? With the remaining content I'm pretty sure it'll go farther than the standard 1 season run. :o

Also I'm liking Rise more than the other two girls. :
Is that a bad thing?


Anime Network has it up for 25episodes only.

I guess the number of episodes is alright, but still wish it had a bit more due to all the content and it being a bit rushed at times.

No, not really. But I'm sure when she's in the episode more frequently than this episode, people will get annoyed. From the direction the anime is taking though, it looks like they "toned" her down a bit. Which is pretty good. They made Chie a bit more lively aswell, and Yukiko again, to me, is invisible, forget sometimes that she's even there, lol.

LOL with RealScreamer pics.

The gag of kuma's head was awesome, but why did Rise appeared until minute 15? ):

I think the "Inaba Murderer" is on drugs or something.

And those beef bowls.

I think Yu's the collar was pretty much normal, it just wasn't folded down so it looked weird. Try to put a collar in any of your shirts up, it'll look weird too.
Man, photo-manipulated backgrounds were awful...
I love comedy in this show. Couldn't care less about the murder cases, but the jokes are really funny.

Amazing episode! I was laughing scene after scene~!
Kuma would have been sexy as hell if he didn't sound like his balls were being squeezed, and I totally love how Narukami's character is developing!!
He's such a pervy smart-ass, I LOVE IT!!

Can't wait for the next episode! I'm hoping for plenty more laughs~!x3

This show should be labeled as comedy as well, 'cause some parts are damn funny.

I finally got a chance to watch it, since I'm officially on vacation. My internet is pretty awful, but I'll try to catch tomorrow's episode since Mitsuo's dungeon is one of my all-time favorites because of the nostalgia factor.

I can honestly say this was one of the few real-world episodes that I actually really liked. I loved how they tied in the Beef Bowl Rainy Day Challenge to the murder case. I also loved yet another appearance by Aika (seriously, I freaking love Aika - best new character in the anime). Teddie's first foray into the real world was done 'beary' well. Noriko Kashiwagi's appearance in the anime seemed a bit toned down a bit from the game, she seemed much nastier towards the girls in the game version. A little bit disappointed for me. I expect that to change later on, though.

The highlight of the episode was Mitsuo - he was even worse in the anime than in the game. He shows some real emotion here as an anti-social psychopath, whereas he seemed more emo than anything in-game. I was a little worried he was going to hurt Nanako, fortunately, 'Big Bro' came to the rescue just in time. If Mitsuo had hurt Nanako, no doubt Yuu would have beaten him to a pulp, then summoned all of his Personas at once to beat the daylights out of him and send him to hell, then somehow have him resurrected so he could kick the crap out of him AGAIN with all his Personas, sending him back to hell again. But I digress.

I'm starting to have a theory on Aika Nakamura: I think she might be the female reincarnation of the MC from Persona 3/FES (Minato Arisato if you go by the manga name). They have the same mannerisms, sort of. It wouldn't surprise me.

Really good episode overall, despite once again, the derp animation quality (I didn't see the odd collar thingy, though?), but I hope they clean it up for the BD release. I give it a 4/5 and 8/10 rating. Anyhow, Mitsuo's dungeon is next, I can't wait! ;)

P.S.: I still <3 you, Rise! And does anyone besides think they may possibly do the Sun S.Link as a filler episode? I'd like to see Ayane Mitsunaga animated, myself. :)

So much QUALITY in this episode. Oh well, guess that's to be expected from P4 the animation.
Technical problems aside, I rather enjoyed this episode. It didn't seem THAT rushed(in fact, they even gave Mitsuo some new scenes, which was a pretty nice touch), although I missed the scene where Adachi brings a drunk Dojima home. Hope they animate it at some point later.(but I doubt they will)
However, some things still bothered me. I'll say i'm beginning to get a bit tired of Yuu's personality. Sure it was amusing in the beginning, but his indifference is starting to annoy me a little bit. I mean, he is suposed to be a person the others in the team can look up to and rely on, and, well, while pokersona face Yuu is kinda funny I wouldn't say he inspires reliability or gives much of a "leader" vibe for that matter.

Err, that arcana sound effect when big bowls of nikuddon come is just a win.

And that creepy guy is probably mixed up of hikkikiomori and, what the word for it? Egoist?

King Moron!!! No!! Who else will instill discipline and abstinence values into these corrupted youths?!?

Wait, what? What was Yuu rambling about? He just listed all the personality trait things and applied it to...ramen? Whaa....? Lol, using the ramen as symbolic to the investigation.

Holy shit. Kuma is so...damn...bishounen. And what's with the prince-y look? Got the frilly shirt, rose, and disco pants and 'err thing.

Lol, that kid must have terrible luck. Always walking into Kuma's head.

Mitsuo's definitely not the culprit. Too insane with his crush on Yukiko or whatever.

Oh god, they included the ramen special!! That had me laughing

And wuhayy, its teddie in human form~
Funny when the lil kid saw his bear head XD

You thought it was finished? Pffft, hell no! They gotta go and save Mitsuo ._.
Mitsuo's dungeon has some really cool music, and I loved its overall theme. Hopefully they can translate it well into the anime :D

I always hated Mitsuo, he just looks so damn creepy with those dead fish eyes of his. But I really liked the extra scenes they added of him, the anime did a much better job of showing us what a psychopath he is. Oh and the scene with him typing on the forums was the best part, I loved how he was just getting trolled by the other posters lol.

Woo we finally get human Teddie, though I personally prefer bear suit Teddie. I liked how he explains that he just grew himself a human body, like its no big deal lol. Also the scenes with the kid crying at the decapitated Teddie head were pretty funny.

Did they really cut out the scene where Adachi brings home a drunk Dojima? If so that really sucks :<.

Next episode is Void Quest, my favorite dungeon of the game. I can't wait :D.

poor moron king.
is the supposed killer running the midnight channel, or does it just randomly work to his convenience? And on the other hand, the group is going to run out of things to do together once they solve this case. since this anime still has 14 more episodes to go, they'll probably find another purpose. but i wonder what its going to be?

Oh king moron died, well more importantly there is A BISHOUNEN GUY INSIDE KUMA NOW! Well since Kuma has been blessed with a human form, time to do some stud hunting! Man to think there would be a bigger shittier person than King moron, but Mitsuo really deserves that spot.
