| 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. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| 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. |

| 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. :| |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| I know it's a bit late, but I just started watching this show and.... there's something fishy about this electronics shop. At 9:20 in the background there is a sign saying "USB Hubs" in the background und beneath it there are boxes practically big enough to contain corpses of adults. Definitely something wrong there. |
| and episode two is quite good ! Though some part was changed compare to the game (which i just played it recently) to whoever person who do not or do play the game that is new to watching this anime , I suggest you move on to continue to the next episode till' the end ! Its quite an amazing anime - adaptation XD so yeah , I re-watching it ^^ |

| Much better than the first episode. I'm liking the BGM's/OST's. :D |
 |
| I really love the animation. |
| Nice animation Hero a bit too calm and composed but I like this better than some noisy brat. Kuma-kun is cool Ed and Op are ok ( nothing amazing but still good) good idea to watch the first two episodes on an row. hope it stays like this or gets even better |
| woo i'm still a bit confused ,hopefully i'll understand more later |
 |
| Someone ordered a stupid looking boss? |
| Liked this way more than the first episodes. Literally felt like I was playing the game verbatim. |
| Adapted word for word basically. Nice work. Want to see how the social links will be fit in. Also hoping there's romance. |
 |
| It's amazing to be going through this story again. The anime seems to be taking the narrative a little too fast, which is understandable. I'd recommend anyone playing the game (ps2 or vita) first and then coming to the anime because there's a lot of character development and choices Yu makes in the game that seem to be skipped here. Still, I'm very hyped to see how the animation will handle each case. |
| Pacing was much better than the first episode, and I really enjoyed this epi. Yosuke (or should I say BROSUKE) confronting his own shadow in the game was memorable, and the anime pulls it off greatly. Though I hope we get to see more of brosuke's social link events, he's the kinda character I find relatable and bond most with, but that'd be the icing on the cake if the nail the main scenario :P Yu seems funny at times too XD |
| This looks interesting |
| Another great episode! Its pretty cool how they've added so many things from the game, like the day to day calendar, the players status and even all the original music. I'm really loving it so far :D |

| Another great ep. Yosuke now has a Persona as well. That little bear thingy is funny too. |
 |
| I am hooked now. The Hanemura reveal and the shadows concet is way too cool. |
| This episode reminded me why I like Yosuke. Mixed feelings on the action so far with how it’s so dark. |
 |
| Way better than the first episode. Cute Chie in the end lol |
