I wish the same music as the fight in episode one was used in this episode again but it was nice.
4.5/5 for the episode

That was an awesome episode. How far into the game is this episode?

That really felt like the end. Not sure how i should feel now, Because i was really ready for the ending.

my face while watching this episode: DAFUQ WAS THAT I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHAT WAS MY FACE LIKE

Pretty damn far considering they just hit 12. If they keep going at this rate the anime will be over around 17. But if they do all the endings (bad, normal, true) then I can see that being 20+ episodes.

Disappointed the dungeon was over so quickly. 8-bit ftw.

One word: rushed. Like mad. That was really disappointing. Yuu being engulfed my Shadow Mitsuo's powers, no more friends blablablah, so damn annoying and useless... :(

Good thing the battle in the end saved the episode. At least next episode, looks fun, 3 new SL in one episode ^^ Sayoko! <3

Enjoyable ep, even though I had no clue wtf was happening. Super rushed ep :S

4/5

I really thought it was the final ep lmao.



Stalker Face lmao.

I kinda feel like I was trolled, but then again I did imagine everything was some sort of illusion.

I want to try Yu's omelet.

You know, as one of the viewers who've never played the game, I understand that I won't understand the details as well as someone who's played the game. I kind of go with the flow about the whole TV thing, the whole Persona thing, and whatnot - it's a little confusing, but the anime does an OK job of explaining what's going on. Then I watched today's episode and I was just completely lost. Where did all those Personas come from? What the heck was the point of spamming all of them? Why were we never introduced to the majority of those Persona before this episode? I thought the entire battle scene was terrible because of these unanswered questions. This anime needs to seriously explain how the rules work. On a side note, I thought Kuma fighting by himself was hilarious.

Well, every time Yu gains a new arcana, he gains a new persona. Meaning, every time he makes a bond with someone, he awakens to a new persona, since he's the "wild card". During the ending song, you can see all the Arcanas he's earned, or what he gained from that episode.

Example:
He's originally the fool Arcana: Izanagi.
Magician(Yosuke bond): Pyro Jack
Chariot(Chie bond): Ara Mitama
Strength(Kou/Daisuke bond): Rakshasa
Moon(Ai bond - fusion): Orochi
Priestess(Yukiko bond): High Pixie
Emperor(Kanji bond): King Frost
Hangedman(Saki's little brother,Naoki bond): Makami
Lovers(Rise bond): Leanan Sidhe
We are yet to see the Star Arcana persona he has.

It was explained during the Velvet Room scenes. Every time he makes a new bond, his "powers grow". Therefore, that's where all these persona's came from. Wasn't introduced before, as the last few episodes didn't require him to use em'. Sure, he could have used one against Shadow Teddie, but it was essential to show Rise's role and have Teddie face himself alone, not everything requires Narukami's persona change, but I understand that this all can be confusing, which is why, I myself, rewatch the episodes from time to time, even though I've played the game.

He spammed them as the Shadow was resisting some of the moves, shown when the shadow put up a wall of some sorts.

yep you nailed it pretty well... I never played the game but they really explained how the persona work during the velvet room segment except for the persona that shown in this ep... thanks realscreamer for clearing that up

Idk if that minor detail was ever explained in the game....My wild guess would be when they become unconscious after receiving the Arcana – they get the information when the persona becomes one with the user

this ep really fooled me with that abrupt transition... My mind went "is that it?"
It caught me off-guard... well played aic asta
I knew something wrong when they never shown the shadow evolved, the team started to act OOC, they skip so many days & Yuu’s status all showed up blank

Yuu's persona spamming really spectacular & the ommelette rice scene kinda rushed a bit... the pinky swear at the end is very cute..

I fanboygasmed pretty hard when Leanan Sidhe got called out. She was always one of my favorites as far as design and background in pretty much all SMT games she's been in.

Great episode. I absolutely adore the additions the anime has made.

I also love seeing Yosuke and MC call each other by first names finally. This significance was lost in the English dub of the game, which is what I played.

The animation on their faces was really derpy in this episode. XD

wowowowow ....
That was the depressing moment when I thought It would end AHAHAH! I'm glad I watched 'till the end XDD

Fu, I thought they'd change the story, lmao. Haha.

nice time twist. might play the game after the anime

The feeble attempt to put some more character on Yu as to make him feel sad because the case is getting solved, or his fear of losing his friends as if the bonds were only because the investigation team ( he seems to ignore everything igor and margareth tells him! ) didn't do it for me , perhaps because, aside some funny moments I find Yu pretty dull compared to the cool main char I had envisioned while playing the game. Also animation was really, reeeeaaaally poor on this one, else the battle could've been awesome, perhaps, worst episode so far imo.

I was expecting this to be the end but I guess things are still going to happen in this anime. Didn't like this episode that much. I kind of thought it was going to be like Haruhi Suzumiya and have part of the summer repeat over and over (since Yu ended up planning a celebratory party twice).

we you mean people who have played the game because not everyone has even played it.
