| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- o_O Megumi is a really interesting character. I liked this episode and I'm looking forward to more. This whole shadow-pulling thing is weird though, I hope not everyone ends up having a Persona. I'm gonna stay tuned. |

| It was actually a far better episode than the first, the characters seem to be quite interesting, and we understood some plot strings already, so it's all good. The chara-design still feels very strange to me though :) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| this show looks interesting so far :D Hopefully there going to be a cameo character from the game came out Hopefully the Persona later will not always be transparent, it's kind of hard to see the fight with it's transparency -__- |
| Very interesting episode. I wonder if Ryou will find out that Shin has a persona soon. |
     |
| I don't quite "get" shadow-pulling...but I'm intrigued nonetheless. Is it just me, or do Japanese schoolgirls get assaulted like it's their job? :/ Kind of tired of that plot device. |
     |
| All the different music from the game being heard in the anime is just great. I'm guessing that everybody in town has some kind of potential that allows them to affect other people's 'Persona' to some extent but only a certain handful can actually call on the Persona like Shin. |
 |
| Megumi is someone I'll be watching out for from now on - I like her character a lot. And the music is pretty darn awesome. |
     |
| A great episode to me. Shadow pulling is a little weird, but hey it explains why they really don't need evokers or cards bring forth their persona. I hope everyone doesn't get a persona either, since the game said it's for special people.Though from some hints in the anime it seems like only the people like the brothers are the special ones, since they called them naturals. I really like the music they played from P3. Those were some of my favorite songs from the game, and I do like the new style they put with it. |
 |
| As far as i can tell, Shadow Pulling is basically provoking someone else's persona out of them, causing a euphoric rush. |
 |
It was a good episode, as for the "shadow pulling" thing.. it seemed a little..weird lol..  ..it kinda of reminded me of the sword extractions from Shining Tears haha xP But anyways so far I really like the series and I can't wait to see more^^, |
 |
| omg sweet episode!! i love the shadow pulling thing and how it's like an addiction for people.. The part where Ryou notices random girl on top of the bridge was awesome ^_^ |
| I'm wondering if that random girl was the "twin" and that's why he was so surprised... and the feather that flew by the car after... I didn't like the ending :S I hope he saves Megumi, but I don't know considering the previews. :( Bothers me. Otherwise, interesting episode. But yeah, damn things kept popping out of everyone. Hopefully Ryou will give some explanations coming up... maybe... |
| I don't know, didn't find this episode as entertaining as some of the previous posters. That shadow pulling did seem a little homo erotic (when the guys did it, that is). Looking forward to the next episode but the ending was kind of cliche, I just wonder who is gong to come to the rescue. But, I do like that there is an underlying mystery (feathers anyone). |

maxcherry715 said: That shadow pulling did seem a little homo erotic (when the guys did it, that is). LOL Yeah, but that was the best part! "Do it to me!" "I don't want to. Not here." "Do me over here!" ... "Let's do it again!" Golden. XD |
|
| So far this seems really intresting. Can't wait to watch more ^^ Oh, and it was really nice to hear different variations of the music from P3. |
| I bet Shin or some random person comes to the rescue and it looks like Megumi is taken to the hospital. |
| this series is getting more interesting! |
 |
| amazing, lovely series, keeps us wanting more to see what happens!!! It really grasps my attention!!! |
| Considering the opening sequences of the game, it's going to be interesting to see if there is a parallel after the main protagonist mentions the word "Persona." |
 |
| ...I'll keep my opinion on stand by but by what happened it looks promising (but then again my expectations were really low...so when the anime is proving that it isn't too bad I'm a little surprised) or rather it sounds interesting...with the appearence of by the sounds of it Strega wannebes, This "whole shadow pulling" deal (hope this doesn't lead to everyone having a Persona), introduction of an decent cast (though I'm afraid for the lead when it comes to the frodo kid ) and the return of some remixed tunes of the actual game itself was a nice touch. |
| Not really sure what direction this show is going in, but I'm enjoying it thus far. And since I'm watching as it comes out, I can't have any internet idiots all caps, bolded, extra large text spoil stuff for me!... |
 Also known as Monster in a box, but I hate that handle...and it doesn't fit here. |
anime_junkie said: oh is it just me or did anyone notice that the subtitle timing is a bit fast. they flick on then screen and then suddenly off. Which group? I was torn between my 'training' and how to lengthen certain scenes.. so if you're referring to Oi!.. then my apologies. I'm kinda stoked that people are using the 'shadow pulling'.. there was a huge discussion between about 10 of us, as to what to use.. I asked like 5 translators and other proofreaders.. the actual word 'kagenuki' means 'kage' 'shadow' and 'nuki' 'to pull out; to remove from' .. or something along those lines. So when the other groups say 'shadow extraction'.. they're not wrong.. it just didn't seem to flow well to me.. what student would say something like that.. 'Give me a shadow extraction please!'.. that just doesn't sound.. I dunno.. but well.. yeah. At one point, I was pulling my hair out and screaming in my house 'IM JUST GONNA CALL IT A FLIPPING SHADOWGASM!!!'.. heh.. cause it sure looks like they're having one when it 'happens'. :P I'm really interested to see where this leads to as well.. so I'm in just as much suspense as the next person. ^_^ |
Leha said: At one point, I was pulling my hair out and screaming in my house 'IM JUST GONNA CALL IT A FLIPPING SHADOWGASM!!! Good call. I think Shadow Pulling is as effective a term as one can get. It's a fairly plausible sounding term. |

| Hmm. Second episode was a bit better. Yeah, the shadow pulling is weird. And I was a bit... eh.. with seeing the guy begging Shin for a shadow pull. T.T Happy to see the remixed tunes from the game there, I can't reminisce over that since I haven't actually finished the game, but it reminds me that I should continue playing. I think the end with Shin mumbling Persona was the best part of the ep. |
| Good episode, the last 5 minutes were the best part. My favourite character is definitely the little brother! He is so cute! |
  |
| love it! i like megumi character, yes we need someone like her in this series.. |
| Love the recycled music from the game, plus the whole special A and shadow extraction is interesting, really liked this ep. |
 |
| I'm understanding the shadow-pulling (it's shadow-stripping in the sub im watching) a bit more now after reading the comments ^^ |
 |
| Again music from the game remixed =) yay! Also story is getting more interesting, would have been a nice gameplay for a new persona game...well still waiting for P4 here in Europe |
| OH MY GOD! The innuendo! It will haunt me! |
 |
| These teenagers sure love to give each other shadow extractions, even those of the same gender... |

| So shadow extraction is the replacement of the cool evokers, kinda feels like some weird addicting ritual to do (damn innuendo's) |
 |
| Kinda weird to me right now and it feels different than what we saw in the game, though I'm curious to what will happen next I guess the priority is the Persona usage to save the girls from the r*pe attempt :( |
