| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL, Airi is funny to watch. I like the Hibiki's demon which happens to resemble a Phoenix. Episode felt kinda meh for me though. Oh shit, that's one ferocious demon at the end there. Look at that intense fire :o |

| like the new duo character.. this ep is a little bit confusing.. dont know which one is the bad guy.. |
 |
| Nice improvement over the first 4 episodes, or at least not as ridiculous as it used to be. Also, this show is so much better when it's not trying to channel Evangelion. I wish Jungo and Airi were the main characters because it seems to me they'd make much more interesting leads. I wanted to like Hibiki but he's just too... bland. And it looks like he's going to be stuck in the emo hero-complex archetype for the rest of the show. Come to think of it, anyone would be better than Hibiki. lol at tentacle bunny ears |
| Chibi Yamatooo :3 |
 |
| It would be weird if MC really gonna summon all of the four beasts since Genbu is a a lot weaker than the other 3 while Seiryu is weaker than Suzaku and Byakko. And why did he have to put on the rabbit hood....Now I just can't take any of this seriously.... |

zakkun89 said: SummerYoung said: Come to think of it, anyone would be better than Hibiki. Nope,he's still far better than that emo hero-complex one,even a monkey is better than Ronaldo. True enough. All that "equality" crap he spewed was bashed over our heads so many times (everyone is equal and we're all gonna fight for that and it's gonna be laughter and rainbows and unicorns by the end hurr de hurr). Wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to have an agenda though. I want a spinoff with Airi/Jungo as the leads. |
| Airi and Jungo are really likable XD Hope we get to see more of them. Hibiki already got another OP demon? I wonder why he keeps getting the good stuff XD Lol'd at Yamato's reaction to Hibiki being a friend hahaha. Well Ronaldo and his group seems like nice guys. Leat's see what will happen to them nxt ep. |
 |
| Airi = Pouty red-head with bright personality voiced by Kana Asumi - > Confirmed for best girl Damn Hibiki really hardened(possible brooding emo depending on point of view?) after the mayhem from the last couple of episodes and why the hell does he have rabbit ears integrated into his fashion now lol? He looks like a complete doucher now. Feels like Hibiki is just being manipulated by Ronaldo not that he can't be good but it seemed like Ronaldo just waited until Hibiki was at his lowest to get him to oppose Yamato. Difficult to tell right now who is "good" or "bad". Ronaldo's resolve is a little too by the books so it's hard for me to sympathize with him. Yamato is still turning out to be one of the more engrossing characters in the show so I can't wait to see where he goes from here |

Look at that intense fire :o ah, don't need to put "Beyond this episode" since the manga's way left behind the anime, even if the latest chapter's released now... haven't watch the episode, but seeing Jungo and Airi likeable, at least i still have a hope in waithing this anime lol :P SummerYoung said: Nice improvement over the first 4 episodes, or at least not as ridiculous as it used to be.

| Yamato got a friend death clip as well and it was registered as Hibiki. If they don't do anything now he would become dead like the other person in a few episodes again. Yeah Hibiki actually looks kind of manipulation. No preview!? |

| I know it's nit picking but... wasnt CERBERUS supposed to have 3 heads? so wtf! why name it like that if it has nothing todo with cerberus..were they out of cool names or what ?^^ 2/5 really not much value in this one. |
Kerozinn said: I know it's nit picking but... wasnt CERBERUS supposed to have 3 heads? so wtf! why name it like that if it has nothing todo with cerberus..were they out of cool names or what ?^^ Wrong,cerberus is showed most of times with 3 heads in most of games/animes/et,but hes appareance can vary,,he can have 1 or 3 heads and other things,in the greek mythology his form always changed from myth to myth so saying that cerberus isn't cerberus because he must have 3 heads its wrong. Liked it,i was having a bad day at all Airi makes me smiles and THAT is coming :3 Dark emo hibiki style lulz |
Kerozinn said: I know it's nit picking but... wasnt CERBERUS supposed to have 3 heads? so wtf! why name it like that if it has nothing todo with cerberus..were they out of cool names or what ?^^ Because they didn't design him by following the Greek myth tradition.In other various myth,Cerberus can have from 1-50 heads. |

There is a reason for this in the SMT series. In the very first source material's storyline, Megami Tensei, Cerberus was summoned by fusing its spirit with the main character's pet dog. This was the reason why the main character could control such a powerful demon. Due to fusing with the pet dog it only had one head, essentially turning the normal dog into a powerful creature. It retained its loyalty to its owner, whereas normally powerful demons would kill weak summoners. In subsequent games Cerberus was a series tradition of a super powerful creature that somehow joins or helps you out early in the game, to let players crush enemies effortlessly while getting used to the game (he'd leave after a while due to plot reasons and possibly rejoin once you are around level 50). Normally you cannot control demons with a level higher than yours. Interestingly, Byakko seems to take this kind of role in the anime, so it'd be interesting to see the two square off. Byakko is level 53 and Cerberus is level 58, so it'd be a fairly even match.  |
| To Nagoya. The guy is in resistance team, who the leader hates the guy who leads the gov. (Ogata-san is the young him!! That's why he knows Sakurai-san's character) 5 more? Asumi-san and NamiDai! It seems like they are not in neither teams? Sawashiro-san's character with death flag? |

HerosLight said: Daichi always gets the weak demons, but somehow he is useful for something, lol. Haha yeah, poor Daichi, I love how he asks "why are my demons so weak?!?" This episode was better than the last one since there's more talking and we actually get more information. Still not sure which side is better, Yamato's or Ronaldo's? |
| I liked it...I didn't know what to expect when I saw a little Yamato in the trailers, the scene was done right but I think they exaggerated his upbringing a bit. Cerberus is so awesome, he's one of my favourite demons in the game. I can't take Hibiki seriously anymore, blame the hoodie, the fact that he is too OP and Hiroshi Kamiya sounds weird, specially when he shouts. |
| Please understand. |
| Decent overall, a bit better, but nothing great. |

| Come on Hibiki man please take off that rabbit thing from your head, it doesn't suit you at all. Yamato = boss. |
 |
| Finally Jungo, Airi, Joe, & Otome make their appearances! I honesty like this episode better than last week's, I hope it stays like that, better episodes by the week. I can't take Hibiki seriously anymore with that bunny hoodie. I'm really curious if they'll actually make him fight Phecda the next Septentrione like that. |
    |
| Jungo, Airi, Otome and Joe <3333333333333 Daichi needs to power-up I still think this show will become 2-cour or have a second season. |
| Airi ? Nyarko ? |
 |
| It was a pretty slow episode, just a lot of talking and meeting new people. Those two new people kinda interested me as to who they were and what they were doing... They're WITH JP right? because I heard them say "why do we have to cooperate with JP?" So it must mean they're with them... AH I don't know anymore \(@.@)/ Nice to see a little of Yamato's past. Sad how the people around him put him in that typical isolated life as a rich kid, and denied him having that food like the kid was at the stand. |
| Yamato make Cerberus his bitch with no effort. LOL at his reaction when he got a death clip of a 'friend". Seems like Hibiki will have the Four Gods as his demons, Genbu, Byakko, Seiryû and Suzaku. |

Eugeo said: Stark700 said: HHHHHHGGGG So cute :3 ^^ liking those two already and that sassy nurse only afraid we won't get much char development for them :( |
 |
| I kinda felt like they skipped all the (important) character intros and went straight to them already being acquainted...I'm glad they at least kept the part where Io bursts out of the cardboard box like the cardboard box gundam cosplayer. |
| I do not know what to think of this episode, I liked it, but honestly, even those who have not played the game can see the brisk pace is a shame if this anime had at least 24 episodes, could become epic, do not know why studios have the audacity to take good deeds to make adjustments with few weak episodes, the same occurs with great visual novels, as MAJIKOI and Mashiro Iro Symphony, so that the latter could not totally lose brightness, but I see Devil Survivor and overshadowed, the characters are great, but what was this presentation (?) Seriously, Joe appearing out of nowhere, Airi ditto, can not imagine why so much hurry, not in the presentation of the characters, which for me would be crucial, hey, the story itself revolves around the characters, the flashbacks were too fast, despite having shown something relevant to the climate that was not damaged, but hopefully reduce this absurd pace until the end! |

| Interesting episode. I think it was decent |
 |
| LOL at the reference/nod to "Operation Box" from the game XD XD XD Woooot, Jungo's voice is awesome here. Joe's though was a tad deeper than I thought it would be o___o YES! Hibiki's got Suzaku now! WOOT! Though though don't go into "how" Arg...I guess they're going for him getting all the directional god/demons (though Genbu sucks in my opinion...but seeing an animated Seiryu would be awesome) |

| It's already episode 5... I don't know if they're keeping Daichi as only the friend of the MC who gets all the weak demons and serves as the comedic character or if they have some bigger purpose for him... well at least he's alive Junko and Airi are too cute together :D especially Airi... he's like a child :3 Cerberus huh? cool! but Yamato's still a bitchy brat... and that feeling about him only deepened upon seeing his childhood Hibiki and that Usagi Hood... I don't think they should've done that with that serious atmosphere... really it only made the part about Suzaku and killing those demons somewhat flippant |
...if you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear... |

And why did he have to put on the rabbit hood....Now I just can't take any of this seriously.... Well, Seiryuu's quite good on electric attack, Byakko's on phys att, and Suzaku on fire att. I recall I don't ever use genbu for battle... Well, at least genbu is a good fushionable demon (lol)! Hibiki looks totally adorable! HerosLight said: Daichi always gets the weak demons, but somehow he is useful for something, lol. Jungo and Airi are pretty cool, I have still yet to see why Jungo is liked by many people. Kinda sad there is no preview.. Yeah, I wonder if he'll get a stronger demons, at least Io will get you know what... Oh so there really is no preview, I thought it's Hadena's fault. Thanks XD dex_dash said: notice somthing, hibiki will be killed by the Septentrione? I don't think it's one of the septentriones though. Or... is it? Anyways, new demon with Ice+ attribute... mmm... |

| Well this was actually better than previous episodes. I liked alcor-yamato scene at the end. Yamato flashback was ok, though the cerberus part was a bit exaggerated, but it does fit him i guess. |
| ok ep. the ending was good tho. |
| first its Byakko and now its Suzaku... love it... and that Cerberus of Hotsuin so badass... xD |

They have been using Byakko for all of the elec attack though,Seiryu will just be another Byakko clone if he appeared. And well,MC supposed to get stronger as story process so if he get Genbu and Seiryu later that would mean he actually get weaker lol As for Daichi,I wonder why he didn't fuse his 2 demons already LOL |
zakkun89 said: As for Daichi,I wonder why he didn't fuse his 2 demons already LOL Maybe he didn't notice fusion icon on his cell phone? When they've shown his cell phone it was there, so fusions are possible. As for the episode, it was fine, I just don't like rabbit ears Hibiki now has, just looks silly in an anime where people die left and right. |
| I'm really not liking this adaptation very much. They are really leaving out a lot of the fun and more lighthearted bits in the game to make it darker and since it's not a game where you have to actually level your characters and demons, etc but an anime they seem to have decided it's a great idea to heavily play up Bunny as SOOPER STRONG CHOSEN ONE. Also, the anime OST does not live up to the game OST. I wanted to see some of these dialog choices animated, too:  |

| Okay episode. So Hibiki has two demons now and both are equally strong in terms of everything, let me guess he's going to get 4 demons or some shit lmao. |
