Rise seems to have some actual chemistry with the protagonist. Her confession that no one sees the real her (CUE THAT TITLE DROP)

That op change I didn't see coming not that I mind it made me think of idolm@ster, the whole dance moves and lyrics sounded very much like it.

Uwahh... T___T poor Rise... I was sort of surprised how low her voice is compared to the game. I always found Kugimiya's Rise in the game was still rather high-pitched compared to the anime's Rise, but I like it a lot better this way.


Remember, that in the beginning Rise is suppose to be tired and sad. That "high-pitch" voice is gonna comeback and bite us all in the ass in episode 11(my guess). I don't mind though, since I watched dubbed anime in most shows Rie's voiced in except for Toradora, so I don't feel irritated like most do with that. I thought Rie did well in the game though, especially Kings Game scene.

Haha, I took a screenshot of the exact same thing xP

Anyway, I agree that the animation quality was off, but I liked the storytelling in this episode. The move of a good chunk of the stuff from Rise's SLink to before her shadow works better than the game, I think. I always found the party member SLinks awkward because of the way they seemed to jump back a little and forget whatever revelation they made because of their shadows.


lol. Surprising how no one has said anything about that. Really suspicious, if you ask me....

I fully agree. Hoping that the other 2 member's SocialLinks are as good or better than Rise's. Kanji's was just thrown out so quickly and with no actual "acceptance", IMO.

Wait which detective are you talking about - Dojima or Adachi? If I had to suspect one it would be Dojima given his unusual anger at the MC for interfering. Adachi is just too stupid lol.

I'd say it's impossible to make an educated guess as to who is kidnapping them all. No one really stands out as suspicious to me.


I concur.

Only Mitsuo seems to be extremely suspicious. Especially how he was just standing there in front of the Tofu shop waiting with a disturbing face, like he did with Yukiko...

Of course it's Dojima, for some detective he's sure as hell has no on screen alibi.

What makes you think a lack of alibi proves anything? Don't know if he does or not but what's to say he doesn't? Just because they don't show him doing something on screen doesn't make him guilty. The same logic could be applied to most of the characters.

Heck, we don't know what Aika was doing at the time of the kidnappings, either. She must be the one! Point is the show gives us such a narrow view of things it's really hard to judge stuff like that, at least at this point.

I think the show, overall, is pretty good so far but I've been a little disappointed with the mystery aspect. Even at this point the game was giving little hints here and there which I'm not really seeing much of in the show itself. Maybe I'm just missing them, though, or maybe it's a by product of getting such tiny pieces of the story at a time. 20 minutes a week isn't a lot to go with and only a fraction of that involves the overreaching plot of what's actually going on with the murders.

RISE!

One of my favorite characters from the game. It's interesting that Rise has only been on one episode and yet her Social Link, although yet to be establshed, is still the most developed of the main cast, aside from Yosuke.

The Junes scene was bad, but the scene where Narukami helped Rise over the fence actually made me burst out laughing. I'm trying ignore the QUALITY so I can enjoy the anime, but it's really getting out of hand.

I want to crack a joke so badly but I can't actually tell if you know who the culprit is so I'll refrain.

This is another part of my reasoning :D Why I would say that he is more suspicious than other characters is a). because he's strong enough to throw people into TVs and b). because he's close to the MC - hence massive plot twist potential

I guess we can happy that they fit the drop in animation quality right where it did hurt least - it actually was kinda cool that they did not react for some seconds when Yukiko was like "nope" before the question was finished. Everyone was stunned.

But when it extended for over a minute, it became annoying.

And Yuu abusing every chance for making joke, like about Chie's legs or when the girls find them stalking Rise - "are you the killer?". Or the epic "you suck". Not only did they just met her, she's also kinda famous and to top it off they want to protect her from some unknown killer and there he goes and tells her with a straight face "you suck" because of some paper cranes..I wonder why nobody ever seems to take his jokes offensive enough to hit him? Even if they do, they go for someone else, like Chie did with Yosuke. Yuu is really lucky :P

I pushed aside my fanboy fears and decided to go all out. I'm about to start episode 10.

Honestly, since I played the game I was severely worried to the point of being deterred from watching the anime. I clocked over two hundred hours in P4, and I'd hate to see a terrible adaptation of a game I love so much.

Now, then. I just want to clarify I'm a huge Naoto fanboi, but this episode was splendid. I've always had this soft spot for the Lovers arcana, and seeing Rise and Yu make paper planes and cranes just tugged at my shipper's heart strings. I also continue to love Yu's bluntness.



And the ending? Oh. Mai. Gawd. That was both irresistibly adorable and incredibly frightening. I like Rise, but her dungeon was really uncomfortable for me. For a multitude of reasons.

quote=Fishcaek-Chan]Yu is such a troll,

You just realized this?


And now.. for better or for worse.... onward, to episode 10! God willing, playing through the dungeon was bad enough. Now I get to see the cocktease animated. Goodie.

So a girl named Kujikawa Rise is voiced by Kugimiya Rie? Nice. Chie is still my absolute favorite, but Rise has the best hair so far. Speaking of which, Narukami is right, she has great legs. 4/5.

Well I for one really enjoyed this episode. Rise being my favorite P4 character probably being the main reason lol. I really liked all the scenes with Rise and Yu, they're just really cute together. Oh and the scene where they all chased down the stalker was pretty hilarious.

Story spoilers, sorta.


Not sure why people think this episode was lame, I mean I think they did it really well. As someone else mentioned they developed Rise's Social Link in this one episode more then they have with the rest of the main cast in the past 9 lol.

But yeah, really looking forward to Rise's dungeon next episode :P. I doubt they'll censor anything since they didn't really censor Kanji's at all.

Well, she was called "spunky dragon with sexy legs" in Persona 4 Arena. Or was it deadly legs? :)

Rise is kinda ok. It seems a little anoying but at the same time she is HOT I need that strip video to know better what will be my impression of her. XD

Yuu’s completely right. Chie does have some fine legs!

Not the biggest fan of Rise but I still really liked her in this episode.

Seems Doujima is getting suspicious of Yuu in this episode.

Love expert Yuu strikes again with this time the ex-idol Rise! He certainly has his way with words 'You suck' lol. Looks like uncle Ryotaro is getting suspicious of the gang's movement, even though his right hand Adachi seems also a bit suspicious with how stupid he seems despite being a detective in my opinion.
