THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A guy writing on a notebook.

The main guy getting the letter to everyone. Naoto couldn't find the sender, but she guessed that he's somewhere near. Naoto is not sure if she should be with them because she doesn't think on the same page.

The deliveryman... Cousin girl has fever and he takes care of her. She feels lonely when the main guy leaves the spring.

Blurry screen at first.

lol @ broken kotatsu.

Another suspicious letter that Uncle got suspicious of him, and asking him the truth. The main guy did but uncle doesn't believe what he said. He's being closed in the room like jail.

Kuma and Junez guy helping out. He got Kuma cellphone.

While calling, someone visiting cousin girl.

The main saw cousin girl on TV from the room the main guy's in!!

Cousin girl got missing, and the TV that broadcasted is her school. After the detective guy is checked, she told the guys. Uncle is pissed, but they are not allowed to go.

Girls, who caught up, talking to guys through the door. Detective guy being calm and do detective thing and at the same time explaining to the police. The deliveryman is the one!! The girl on the dream world's man?? He led them go.

Uncle saw the truck. Car chase and found the notebook of who got captured. Being the savior of those on TV?? The red letter that cousin girl has is with TV and is a gift for him. Uncle, who got hurt, entrusting the main guy to save her.

In the end... the cousin girl is in danger?!

Don't Save Anyone Anymore"

Death Note anyone? lol....Nice to see the gang in winter wear, i believe it's new gear for everyone except Naoto? Speaking of which, Naoto maxed out? Also, young Naoto was nice to see, she hasn't changed a bit, lol.

Someone has appeared on the Midnight Channel. Thought Dojima's face was funny when giving Yu the threatening letter... Anyways, Yu's been caught now and the ridiculous truth has put him further in..

Nanako was the one on the midnight channel. - And while she's about to be kidnapped and thrown into the TV, Yu is stuck basically in "jail". What luck, eh? Nanako just seems to have something bad happen within atleast each episode.. As expected, the gang is going ape shit about it... And wow, real emotion from Yu..LMAO @ Chie about to kick Adachi's ass, Oh how I wish...Damn Yukiko for holding her back..

The deliveryman? Is the kidnapper? Car Chase! Followed by an accident, ending it with Dojima being hurt.. They found the notebook of the victims of the kidnappings, it had The Announcer, Saki Konishi, Yukiko Amagi, Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa and Naoto.. So it's safe to say at this point, Namatame's the one throwing people in.

This episode was a masterpiece. 5/5. Definitely felt the frustration to help Nanako. And they made Namatame seem a bit more out of it, awesome.

Next Scent: "It's just like Heaven." My fellow gameplayers - the heaven sneak peak was done justice(pun not intended), even with the shitty quality I had, it looked really great.

This episode was just EPIC.
So on, keep this level until the end!

I think that the next episode will be epic too - it's my favourite part from the game.
They don't dare to do it wrong (I hope).

"You do not have much time left. Will you be able to find the truth?"

Good question, Margaret. A very good question indeed.

Also, I predict a summoning of the ultimate Justice Persona (never got it, so I don't know its name).

So a thought crossed my mind while watching this episode- IS there a full version of Key Plus Words and Way of Memories? I figured they would be out by now, but I haven't seen them anywhere .-.

no Naoto was not maxed out, those who have been maxed have two pics in the ending




any one think there might be a season two to include the winter months that are going to be in P4 the golden because they have not maxed out brosuke or Naoto and I don’t see them being maxed out in the next couple of episodes

The second time I played through the game,


Anyway... this episode... feels bad, man.

Oh, and I'm kinda glad that they changed the order of events slightly (namely, Narukami telling Dojima everything after getting to the police station instead of before they leave the house), because it kinda patches up the question of why he couldn't just shove his arm in the TV to prove it and therefore never have to leave Nanako alone.

...Can it be next week now? Waiting is gonna be harder than usual this time.

Dear lord!

It's more intense than in the game, this anime is really living up to the standards that the game set imo.
The suspense is almost unbearable (Teddy would have been proud of that pun)

to be fair that guy appeared a lot in the previous episodes, but we just don't pay much attention to him. Go back to the previous arcs (e.g. Kanji, Rise) and you'll find signs of him popping up.

Heck, even further back than that. He's mentioned in the first half of the first episode.

You actually do know him though. Namatame shows up at the very start of the story, and several times through it. And in the game you can actually spot him through every investigation scene before the kidnappings and throughout town, moping about his dead wife. That said, you get to see the dead-fish eyed kid who kills buckteeth Morokin talking crap about people too.

Going strictly by the game his Ultimate Persona is a 12 Personae fusion (just to put it in perspective, you can only carry 12 Personae at one time in the game, so basically you fused all of them).

This was an amazing episode, although I remember Adachi being less of a pushover and being a little cooler when they were at the station (for a change). Guess that's the English dub of the game for you.

Speaking of in the station, I enjoyed the fact you got to see Yu's explanation of his involvement to Dojima instead of just skipping over them:

Yu: "We go into TVs and beat shadows by summoning perso..."
*smack*
Dojima: "WTF you on child!? I am Disappoint."

I love how Yu was finally portrayed as emotional about something. Heaven looks good for next episode. In terms of pacing however, they need another couple of episodes to play with. Maybe the original 25 was only an estimate?

That was amazing, the part where uncle chased the delivery man was really well done.
First time Yu is emotional (as far as I can remember).
Next episode will be about Nanako's fate.

I remember this part of the game. I was pretty shocked when it happened, because the foreshadowing for her kidnapping was less subtle.

I took a step into her dungeon, listened to the track, and resolved to rescue her on the same day. I was PISSED.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Great episode, probably better directed than in the game itself. I won't say much more than that, but things are definitely very different from what they seem right now. Well, a deductive and focused spectator should have already realised that a lot of hints we've been fed are somewhat fishy.

And now comes Nanako's Heaven. Or is it ? ;)

Forgot to see the ending to know, LOL. But yeah, I don't think a season 2 would be added, I think Naoto and Brosuke's links will be maxed during:


Then again, they could skip that because of the amount of time they have...

Of course they are going to play it. They played ever other one lol. I think there might be an S2 because of the upcoming video game for vita that introduces a new character.


While I don't doubt that they'll play Heaven, considering how popular it is....BULLSHIT, THEY DID NOT PLAY ALL THE DUNGEON THEMES T_________T.

If this is going to be 24 eps i prefer to be the good ending and ovas for the true ending.

i hope they dont rush the "good ending" part because that's the best fucking part of the game.
