Velvet room again!

Summer time.

Field trip!! Guys are the first time going there.

This ep. has Kuma's "persona!" lol~

lol @ the main guy's magic in front of the girl to let the girl happier.

lol @ the cooking. Even the main guy's dark expression is emotionless!!

A guy, who is the childhood friend of "deliquent".

People who were on TV are the possibilities of getting caught?

The two are uncomfortable sleeping with "gay-ish" guy. And girls are sleeping with heavy girl. lol~ and for some reason the girls are with the guys. (different sleeping bag) lol~ "deliquent" with that heavy girl, who is not into him!!

Wow, swimming suits from Junes are ok... Girls kicking guys for adoring them...

This episode is the best episode out of all 8 of them so far due to Narukami's expresionless face only, when he got pushed out into the river. Kanji's facial expressions were also +++

Nanako....Her cuteness level is reaching the cuteness level slowly that she has in the game... "EVERYDAY YOUNG LIFE JUNESU!"...

Love the nice touch of HanakoxKanji they did there, roflmfao. Wasn't too crazy about the yuuxyukiko/yosukexchie moment though. I digress, somehow, Hanako looks even less attractive in the Animation, didn't know it was possible, I can only imagine the event during the Cultural Festival, lmao.

Was slightly disappointed about Mystery Food X tho, maybe it was because I watched it RAW but, the whole actual "getting ready to eat their food" part was too sudden.. Just randomly seeing Yosuke "die" was a bit out there. Also wished Narukami knew before hand that it would be terrible and answer to Yosuke "You can have mind, too!"..

Arcana this episode:
Hangedman - Which I'm guessing will be Orthrus? But of course, He will most likely fuse Emperor/strength or Emperor/"other arcana he has unlocked" to defeat the one after Rise's shadow..

I must say, Naoki looked really good, IMO..

It finally begins though...The long awaited Rise arc I waited for, next episode. I cannot contain my excitement for the trueself battle...From the preview, it seems like Rise's arc will take 2-3episodes. Also hoping that her shadow stays as it was in the game and it's not rushed due to it's length/importance.. I also want the full on disturbing effect that is - Shadow Rise and her "squishy sounds" / "dance" moves, :X lol. Narukami better getting his video tapes ready and his video-camera.

Moar Aika. - I feel like she's the female version of Yuu in this show but with less emotion, if that's possible...

...Now somehow, this will be the longest wait for the next episode, for me...Since life is a "peach"...

They couldn't sleep with the "heavy girl" snoring and Kanji being passed out there, so they went to the guys tent to sleep instead. :P

Liking this as a slice of life/comedy, but on the other aspects it's pretty predictable and sporadic. There's not enough information on the Persona system in the anime to really get a grasp on what it's about.

I'm agreeing with the above posters here. This was by far the best episode of the series to date. I love the camping trip in the game, and it was done very well in the anime. They even managed to sneak the Hanged Man arcana S.Link in there with Naoki's debut. The Mystery Food X bit was hilarious (shouldn't the guys have helped with the girls' shopping to help them with the ingredients? Oh right, Yosuke had bikinis on the brain. :3). I also liked Aika's appearance at salvaging dinner (really? She cooks her diner's food EVERYWHERE?), Kanji of course in his usual confused self (and subsequently getting his butt kicked by Chie), King Moron acting like, well, King Moron, but the funniest moment belonged to the attempted pairing of Kanji X Hanako (and later rejection). Poor Kanji! Oh well, he's too good for her anyway. Cheer up, Kanji! You've still got 2 girls waiting in the wings to work with! 5/5! Heck, 10/10!

Next week is Rise's debut! My favorite character! Next week can't come soon enough! I'm gonna have a tough time restraining myself from kissing my monitor, lol. :D

and I like how narukami has expressionless face:

Narukami: "not at night"

Anyone else laughed at Teddie's transitions of saying "Persona" really quickly? lmao.

Looks like Rie is giving Rise the "Aisaka Taiga" voice, can't remember if in the game, her "calm" tired voice was like that..But I don't mind it, sounds good. Also, interesting to see Rise with a different look in the preview

Just noticed that Yosuke and Kanji are made to be a bit more humorous in this than the game, seems like those two are always being picked on.

Now that I've watched the subbed, I can now confirm that this is infact the best episode. Art quality was actually great for what they're working with, the pacing was decent, tons of awesome humor and when it got serious, it was actually done well. And it's now confirmed that the culprit strikes when a person is on TV. So basically, you appear on TV, get thrown into tv and then be on the midnight channel..It's like Inception all over again.

I must take back my comment about Yuu's facial expression during the river scene making this the best episode, it was that AND Kanji thinking Yuu's swimming trunks were "so hip" Lmao

Best part about that is Kanji doesn't have to choose one, it's a three-way pairing, lol.

Speaking of Teddy..I wonder how they'll animate..THAT scene..when he 'comes out', if people get what I mean. And the Kings game..and just..gaaah everything >3<

I think the anime does a better job at being funny. The game have many funny moments of which the anime is basing itself on, but the overall aura of the game is much more serious. I have to be very careful saying that though, it's not about anime/game being better/worse than the other. It's a different focus. The game have MUCH more time, and it uses it to build a dark aura, a felling of mystery and murder that takes itself quite seriously, giving it a "feel" in anime terms closer to Darker than Black or Fate/Zero.

The anime is doing a GREAT job of portraying all major events/places in the game with so many details, but it doesn't have time to build anything in between them. So they shifted the "feel" from bizarre murders mystery to comedy that doesn't take itself to seriously to GREAT effect.

That was disappointing for a lot of people, but I like it. Fate/Zero and Guilty Crown are doing a superb job of being the "serious stuff" this season. With it's HUGE plot P4 would have to cut/rush way more to establish the slow mystery pace of the game.

'Grats to MC for joining in with that homophobic jerk Yucksuke to bully poor Kanji, he's vewy vewy delicate ya'no? At least they made the scene more comedic than it was in the game so that lessens the jerkness of Yucksuke, d00d's till an @$$ though... Not as much as K***ma Tedd*** so maybe that's a +... If they ever make P5, I'd rather deal with another Junpei than either Yucksuke or Tedd***...

Nice Hanako appearance... She's not for you Kanji, her heart & body already belonged to somebody else *wink*wink*

Next week is....

Honestly, you could say it's up to you. Some of the troll things Narukami says are actually choices you can make in the game XD I'd say this anime is killer funny. The game established P4's charm and humor, and the anime just builds on it XD

Also, Giantbomb recorded ALL THEIR PLAYTHROUGH. It's 154 videos ranging from 11 minutes to 1h each covering the entire game. If you don't own a PS2 or don't wanna but persona 4, but still want more persona you can't watch those, or at least the first ones to get a feel for the game/relate to the anime. I would also recommend everyone to youtube "Persona 4 hiimdaisy comic dub", very funny, but expect spoilers.

Very clever of them to squeeze in Naoki's SLink even though there was really nothing of that sort in the game.

Aw yeah... every time I watch an ep my urge to replay P4 shoots up like a rocket. The anime is that faithful yet that entertaining that you want more.

It looks like Rise's arc starts next ep. I bet a lot of people will be excited for that.

Man, I agree that the game is much better than this anime, but so far it's not that bad. I hope, that action will be faster in next episodes.
Doesn't it look like the Protagonist will be with Yuki? I had a bit of that impression. But maybe I'm wrong...
Can't wait for the next episode because of Rise.

Really looking forward to Rise's arc!

I found Hanako's scene at the end to be very funny. It isn't something that can be incorporated into the game, so I'm glad that the anime is taking liberties.

Anyhow, also enjoyed the YukikoxYu scene.

I would say so since theres so many things you can't do in the game like all the expressions /MC talking and all his combacks but the game had it's moments!,on to the episode i couldn't stop laughing at all the things happening to kanji and this proves to me that the anime can have it's funny moments and i can wait to see the other events *Kings Game* anyone?.

Hilarious episode. To be honest I find episodes like these to be more entertaining that main storyline.

Hanamura's kinda annoying at the start of the series but later he became a pretty funny guy. Was laughing the whole episode.

I see, so this anime is aiming to be a comedy. Not exactly happy about this since I don't find the humour in ths show that funny so far and I hope they will return to the mystery aspects soon.

Is it just me or does Yosuke get more and more annoying with each episode?
