| PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT I thought the anime actually did a better job with the total creep asking Yukiko out than the game. Good thing we won't ever see him again ;) Also, using the TV's in the battle arena to show stuff that couldn't fit in the anime and help taunt Yosuke feelings at the same time was very crafty from the animators. Yes the music sounds out of place. But in the game, you could hardly hear the voices over the music/effects during animated cut scenes, so for all you holding the game as the perfect standard, shouldn't you be praising the anime for keeping that equal as well? Someone said before to stop comparing to the game and enjoy it for the animation itself. I say look for the things that are even more awesome than they were in the game ^^ |

| Much better than the first one, I agree too. But I wish they'd kept the original OP. Also, why am I so unexpectedly disappointed with my favourite character and his VA? Yosuke was never so annoying! I can say this though: it definitely sucks for people who haven't played the awesomeness. |
 |
| Still pretty confusing (only played the PSP version for a bit). Hope there will be more substance in the episodes to come, but interesting enough to follow so far. What I honestly don't get is that so many people complain about the art. I really really like it, very refreshing compared to all the generic anime faces. Very crisp and lively! |

I don't know what you're talking about, there's no adaptation of Persona 4 for PSP (not for now), if you've played P3P (Persona 3 adaptation) then it's another matter, they're both different stories even though being from the same sequel. |
|
| So they changed the OP eh? This new one is pretty good too though. The pacing was slightly better than the previous ep. And sure didn't see as many day-to-day transitions like last time. I also liked the battle scene with Yosuke's shadow, especially the part where MC punches the "wrong guy" while having Izanagi attack. |

RealScreamer said:Disco Ninja frog appears! Lulz, I was thinking of the exact same thing when I watched this episode. "Sounds like someone just ordered a stupid looking boss!" Watching this Anime really is making me want to replay the games yet again, dang my ps2 being broke. :( 'Must get it fixed soon. |

| I got bored, the story really takes its time to develop... But well, seems like worth the wait =) |

| I felt that this episode is full of cliches, still a good episode though. |
| I really really liked the ep XD now it makes me want to replay the game >.> |
 |
| Meh... I think it's boring so far. o3o The characters aren't that unique either. They seem like copies of the characters from Persona 3 except they look different. :/ Their personalities are the same anyway. And, why do those two girls get to dress differently than the rest of the school? XD The only things I like about this so far are the fights and the music. =P |

Copies of characters? Do you really think Persona has this type of faggotry? I've played P3 and P4 more than three times and I can guarantee that this type of affirmation is totally wrong. Only Igor is the same as always. Both Yuu and Minato, are different aside their arcana. |

| enjoyed the ep!!!! though it was bad after the director complained but it was good! need to play P4! |
| Awww man that bear thingy is so adorable. |
 |
| needs more Yukiko |
  |
| Almost at the verge of dropping this anime. Unreal emotions are what I hate in anime and this one is doing great at it. 2/5 for the episode. |

| loved every second of the episode. i loved how they handle shadow yousuke , it's really awesome , using the tv and such. it's always hard to animate an RPG game since there are like many character battling only one enemies , hope they don't screw it and made it look belieavable. looks like yu status increase every episode , i bet his understanding went up in the next episode. |

| Yeah, it's alright. Nothing outstanding, but nothing terrible either. |
 |
| Great episode. I hope they keep up this pace. I'm look forward to Yukiko's caste! (Imho the best part of the game) Relunx |
| I still think the animation looks a little weird. They probably could have done better. |
Xer0117 said: I still think the animation looks a little weird. They probably could have done better. I don´t know which part you mean, but the game also has a similar animation.  |
| Yeah, I know how the game looks like, I have over 300 hours logged on my save file haha. The animation just feels very sluggish, especially in the action scenes. Also, I wonder if the characters will ever get their own weapons like in the game, or if they'll rely solely on their Personas. |
| Looking for Brofist Scene. |

|
| This episode felt much better paced than the first, and everything felt right. 5/5 |
Xer0117 said: Also, I wonder if the characters will ever get their own weapons like in the game, or if they'll rely solely on their Personas. I wonder the same , to be honest most of them knowing how to fight with weapons doesnt make sense , except for chie and naoto. and maybe kanji too... lol. |
Vanisher said: Well, it was mostly RPG logic (same logic applied to "we'll conceal our weapons under our uniforms !"). If they'll just depend on their Persona's that's fine too. Only people who can feasibly use the weapons they did use with proficiency were Kanji, Chie, Kuma and Naoto. Kanji just uses whatever chair or object he can get, Kuma uses claws so yeah, Chie's athlethic so kicking is really not a stretch, and Naoto uses a gun and has a license for it. The rest just somehow use self-styled sword techniques which are even inhuman in terms of MC's huge swords and the less we talk about Yukiko's fans the better.Xer0117 said: Also, I wonder if the characters will ever get their own weapons like in the game, or if they'll rely solely on their Personas.

saL-Rei said:*hits yosuke* lol.. this scene made me laugh too xDD"oops, wrong guy." HAHAHA! Narukami is awesome also, while watching this episode, i was thinking why Margaret was doing most of the talking instead of Igor ;p then i just read that his seiyuu already passed away a year ago (may he rest in peace) |

HarunoYume said: This episode felt much better paced than the first, and everything felt right. 5/5 This. Also, the protagonist started to show a bit more of personality in this ep., what was quite a relief (sure, it wasn't something like "oh, what a complex personality he has!", but it's still better to have a "calm good guy" protagonist than an "automatic answers" protagonist, xD). |

NeloDeath said:All the important plot sections are intact and faithful to the game, but it feels shallow when the side activities are stripped from the presentation. What side activities? At this point, in the game, it's still in the part where the only bit of choice you get is 'feel like saving before another huge blob of cutscenes?', lol. |

| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Interesting...will keep watching. 4/5. |
| I must have watched the hiimdaisy bub parodies of P4 one too many times, I kept calling out the lines when I was watching the anime. I feel trope savy watching the anime. -YOU'RE NOT ME!! -I need to know why Saki senpai had to die like this -You guys are jerks |
 |
| So far, so good. Better pace than the first episode. They did a good job with Mitsuo's portrayal, I actually liked that scene better than the game. Yosuke was his usual awesome self, even his shadow. The only thing that worries me is that the animation quality is all over the place in spots. |
| eh I just don't know something seems off. it's not terrible but it's not drawing me in either. the fight, and the characters just seem off. eh whatever. |
 |
| I haven't played the games, but this is pretty cool so far. It looks great, and the story seems pretty interesting. I wonder how long this anime is going to be. |
| This was better than the first episode. Something feels off, though. Idk. OP and ED don't suit my taste, but I guess I'll get used to them after a few more episodes. :| |
