THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Airi's summoning is a cat with a sword? Lol. But seriously, that little thing is fast and tough. I kinda want one.

Episode was alright imo. The music was kinda weird though. The Septentrione this episode imo is strange, kinda OP also. Definitely a better episode this week. Kuberos or whatever Yamato's spirit is badass.


Eyes kinda reminds me of Koko from Jormungand.

This week's DeSu2 got my attention again after some rather lackluster episodes. I felt dragged along and this seems like one of the series where there should be enough intrigue so I don't care or have a clear direction. I got a little bit of both with the second half with Yamato and Alcor's encounter with Hibiki.

Still wondering how Jungo and Airi play into all of this whether they are pawns like previous companions or play bigger roles

The first half was pretty boring but the second half was amazing.

Airi and Jungo are really lovable characters hehe.

Yamato's entrance was BA. So was his Cerberus!

At the end all the big shot have gathered :)

Is Yamato a tsundere? Find out on the nxt episode of DS XD

Dropped. The story doesn't hold my interest, I can't stand the main cast and the way they try to make the show ethical and philosophical makes me want to pull my hair out -.-

Airi and Jungo should have been the main characters from the start.

Its because them wanted to show all of what devil survivor can show in 13 episodes,ingame that was much better,much deeper and you felt and the way of thinking,but because them chose a 13 epi anime,them are rushing it too much


Still like it though,airi S2

Airi and Jungo is so adorable that's make the show good.

Yamato is not even honest and really want to save Hibiki.
Now when Alcor told Hibiki about Yamato saw that death clip he knew that he saved his life and prevent all that.
That's probably make him all confused.

Oh, that's they are. The summoner from Nagoya section. And they've come to retrieve the place.

The leader of Tokyo section came! And so it was his plan? But at least he wants him to be alive (he also saw the clip).

The whole gang is back together.

Cait Sith looks like Puss n' Boots.

It's a floating, rainbow disk...Wow.

Wow, Yamato's badass entrance was badass. Lawl.

Even Alcor joined this standoff. What a weird place for a cliffhanger, "Yamato saved you, but he doesn't know how to say it properly."

Jungo reminds me so much of Yu Narukami, lol. So aloof and points out the obvious; great combination with Airi.

Been wondering this since she first used it but what attack has Nitta's Kikuri-hime been using? Trying to hard to relate it to animation used in Persona games since I don't remember anything from the first DS game.

Yamato's entrance was pretty badass, even though I still don't like him from what we've seen so far. Cerberus was awesome too. The only thing I like about the battles though is the color usage XD the part when the septentrion exploded was pretty to watch.

I just noticed that in the ending they took out Keita...if they're doing this for all the characters killed, then that must mean Hinako is still alive!!

Don't know about the persona games, but in the Devil Survivor games, her default skills were Affection and Recarm, so no offensive abilities. Through fusion though, they can inherit most skills from the demons used in the fusion, or learn skills in battle later in the games.

I assume Kikuri-Hime's attack is a Force type attack like Zan/Zandyne/Force Dance/Mazan/Mazandyne...or a curse type attack like Judgement since it has a beam + purple circle the game. Could also be a weakening type attack like Nigayomogi (poison), Paral Eyes, Sexy Gaze, Marin Karin(charm), Petra Eyes, Gigajama(Forget)...etc. Could also be an original attack the animation decided to give her because of writers'/directors' "creative liberties".

I must be the only person who loves this show o_o
I don´t know why, but it´s the episode I look forward to every week, besides Shingeki no Kyoujin. I like the dark-theme the anime has, and Hibiki isn´t that bad of a main character so far. He´s just confused as to why he has that power and what Yamato´s true intentions are.

I haven´t played the game, but I will guess that Yamato actually has a hidden motive for doing what hes doing.

Dropped.

He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.

Well, all of this was quite predictable with the last ep but it's still well done. Now Hibiki will probably start to go away from Ronaldo, since, well, this episode pretty much proved that he cannot protect everyone, despite everything he says. Saying nice things is cool and all, but it's useless if you cannot translate them into actions later.

Aside from that. Yamato is still awesome, as always, and I laughed quite a lot when Alcor showed Hibiki that Yamato is a big tsundere.

It was a bit surprising, since it's definitely something that helps Yamato a lot more than the AO, but Yamato wasn't honest enough to do it himself. It seems that honesty is more important to TAO than his"plot". I don't remember this in the game, but even if they added it, then it's a nice add.

I already liked TAO quite a lot before, well, I like him even more now. He's the only one really trying to clear the emotional part of this mess somehow (something Yamato is NOT good at, even if I like him a lot).

Also, damnit, Hibiki is fucking stupid. 15 vs 1 at the end, Yamato only defend himself and wasn't going to attack them beforehand, and Hibiki still try to fight Yamato rather than telling the egalitarians to stop their nonsense.

I was thinking that it was most likely Holy Dance. Even though Kikuri-hime doesn't get that skill, it visually looks like it'd be Holy Dance.

Not only does he summon 2 super powerful monsters, but he also has almost 4 million maca? That guy is cheating! :)

As for the episode, I don't know, for some reason I just don't like it anymore. Well at least fights were good.
But did they even look at stats for some of those monsters or did they just put them in anime because they look good? Using Orcus as caster? Dude, his magic is one of the lowest in the whole game. Bloody starting lvl 2 demon has more magic than him.

Nope. I think it's some kind of symbolism. From wiki:

Orcus (Latin: Orcus) was a god of the underworld, punisher of broken oaths in Italic and Roman mythology.


It fits quite well with Joe's "unreliability" with his girlfriend before her death. For the magic part, well, it was probably in order to keep him (and Joe) far enough. Joe isn't that much of man of action.

Also, Jungo has a Neko shogun. You probably know what happens in Jungo's fate events in the game. This one is quite obvious.
As for Airi, I have no idea... Maybe some parallelism between the king of cat tale where Old tom disappears and Dera-deka? Also, they probably wanted a cat team with Jungo, since he already had one.

The episode managed to please me, despite the rushed pace again, I was already used to it, whereas with 13 episodes, there was no way to do miracles, but within standards, without comparing with the game until he had a decent climate. Enjoyed seeing the Hibiki realizing that is not the badass of the time, was almost hating him for his leadership and confidence in his demons, since Yamato lets him to shame, but that ending was what I liked most, Yamato will be the big tsundere the series? LOL

Expected more animation and feeble, but at least the seiyuus are helping with regard to the character design of the characters. I expect more deaths next week, and there are more revelations.
