Alright, this episode definitely made more questions, then it answered. However, the second half had me sitting on the edge of my seat staring intently at the screen. *squee~!*

I can't get enough of the opening theme from this series, its definitely one of my current favorites^^,
Anyways this episode was pretty good, the fight scene was nice and the story is getting even more interesting, so I'm looking for to the next episode^^

I didn't really like this episode. The pacing seemed wrong. It kept skipping from conversation to conversation that meant absolutely nothing for us viewers. We don't know who they are talking to or even who they are talking about, those are fine when it is done just to add to a mystery but to have half the episode like that is weird. And the androgynous brother is really freaky.

It was an ok episode. I wonder what kind of persona his brother Jun has. Other than that it just gave us more questions than answers.

yeah jun is creepy and still seems like a girl to me too. I wish I could see the fights clearer, it's hard with the personas being transparent. hard to tell what's going on. I hope we get an explanation soon. glad to see megumi was ok though. I think I'll stick to the OI subs as they were more accurate.

Me too. His persona is going to be busty and wearing a bikini, no doubt.

So Leha any idea on when your sub for episode 3 will be out? I really prefer OI's subs over Ainex.

It's not hard to mistake Jun as a girl when he's voiced by a woman and they're trying to establish a link between him and his twin sister who is presumably dead/missing/gone. Eiko even says he looks like her.

Also, what happened to the Oi! release? Both Shinsen and I (EIGS) released before you guys did.

Finally saw the episode. I was waiting for OI's release (since I try my best to stick to only one group, and I'm sticking with [OI!] now). I thought this was a rather interesting episode, it was confusing, I mean I couldn't tell what happened in the second half. I think basically Ryou destroyed one guy's Persona cause the other guy didn't help out (since his Persona can't come out anymore) and I have no idea what happened with Shin. Did he destroy one to? I couldn't tell. Thought the other one just went weird.

That voice on the phone that Ryou calls sounds like Akihiko. I wonder if it is him or someone else with the same VA.

I can't wait / will look forward to when Ryou realises that his 'enemies' have been going after his brother also. So he can't just leave the kid alone or attempt to send him out of town anymore.

Yeah.. sorry everyone.. EdK's internet went haywire, and we had to wait for them to repair the lines. Good news though.. is that he was able to get both the xvid and x264 encodes done.. ^_^

The questions are bugging me like mad.. I wanna know..!

Not a bad episode at all, though despite giving us a few more snippets of plot direction, I still end up at the end with more questions, like the importance of the red-headed girl (I have some ideas but nothing that can be explained this early).

I'm thinking she is Yuki the Kanzato brothers dead sister and Jun's twin, she might be like a gaurdian angel or something because everytime she appears there are white feathers wich a lot of times are associated with angels.

@ Crystal - Yuuji's persona was destroyed so it's gone for good, if I remember correctly when Shin's Persona destroyed that one guys Persona in episode 2 the guy said something like "it's gone". Also I believe that Shoutarō absorbed Tōma's Persona in order to prevent it from being destroyed which it was about to be. I think that people can use multiple perona by absorbing others or at least gain a power boost.

This series isn't really doing a whole lot for met so far, and I'm pretty close to dropping it. The animation is nothing spectacular, the characters don't really grab me, the persona fights are confusing and weak, and while it feels like they are trying to build up some mystery, they haven't done anything to catch my interest. It's barely keeping me entertained, but if it doesn't pick up soon and throw in some sort of plot twist or something to get me interested, I won't be seeing this anime to the end.

Had to watch one part over, so Sotaro saved that green haired chick by absorbing her persona before it blew up or something? lol. Seems like things will pick up after this episode.

The mystery aspect is getting stronger and stronger, makes me wonder what Jun will do now, especially regarding his brother
