Interesting. I really want to know how this is going to continue. I liked this episode, but I really disliked the fanservice. I don't like fanservice anyway, but it wasn't even done in a way I could easily ignore it. Maybe it's just me, but I want characters to look cool when they're fighting, not like that.

I don't know if you can tell. But Anne Takamaki was my favorite character from Persona 5. And for an episode that focused on her heavily. I was pretty satisfied with this one. The anime's depiction of the cafe scene and Shiho's suicide were both really moving to me. And taken together made this the strongest episode yet. But as with the previous two episodes the series lost serious steam when it went inside the Metaverse.

For starters I can appreciate the anime will have rushed pacing, compared to the game. But to already find the Treasure Room seems absurdly fast to me. Especially since they found it before Anne even awakened. And speaking of which that scene felt a little too creepy and exploitative to me. With Kamoshida cutting her shirt open. We never needed that much creepiness to know he was an ass in the game. I forgave it though when we got to see her bouncing around with the broadsword. And spouting off cool catch phrases about roses and toys.

On a final note. The scene near the very end. Where Kamoshida flees from the vengeful Anne. And she chases after him but gets weak in the knees and falls on her butt? Super cute.

I'm actually pretty entertained thus far, but I'm sure that the games are a lot better, so I'm not sure whether to continue as an anime-only.

After all, that scene with Ann doing her pose was some... interesting animation.

They went quickly through Ann's portion which sucks but that seems understandable since they are trying to run through a game in 24 episodes. She'll get more time later.

This is the first episode with a good pacing. It's not great because they omitted the part of the codename. All-Out Attack was great! Akechi have many cameos. I think that could be make Shiho a little more interesting. They find the Treasure Room a bit fast!!

They explain the shadow world with the perfect words in this episode. 4/5

I'm wondering just how many people realise (watching only the 1st 3 episodes and I didn't see anyone here saying anything when usually if that happens in an anime everyone is obviously worker up) that the reason Shiho tryed to commit suicide is because she was raped. Key moments:Ann confirmed Kamoshida wants her to come to his apartment and we all know why and what an assholes will do in such a situation. Later on, when they came to rescue her, around 16 minutes in, he "blames" Ann why Shiho tryed to kill herself saying (using the English subtitles) "You didn't give me what I wanted, so I had her take your place".

Worst case Kamoshida dies? so no high stakes at all, let's continue the plan with no worries then! I'm not really impressed by the battle sequence so far.
Convenient only able to hear Morgana if you've been to the palace, handy for example when talking about secret stuff or cheating on tests or something.

Great episode! Nice to see the story progress so briskly. Now with Ann in tow, things can get started. I thought that this episode did a good job at showing how Ann feels isolated from Japanese society, much more so than the game did. And when the shadow Ann was cut in half, it felt very justified and like righting a wrong. My only complaint is how the show seemed overly sexual when Ann was awakening her persona, especially when you have all of this stuff showing how Kamoshida is a terrible creep!
