----------------------------------------
I will strip search, if i have to ~

I think I wet my pants over Mot's summoning, but did I watch right because I swear I saw Beelzebub summoned?


Even when Yu is old and wrinkly, Rise still loves him, that's true love right there...lmao. Teddie saves the day by using "Energy Shower". Naoto gains her persona, Suikuna-Hikona of the Fortune Arcana.

Narukami increases his links by making lunch for everyone. Wish that was possible in the game too, would have been so much easier. Naoto shares more information on the criminal after school. Gang heads to the hospital to get checked up, Teddie being an asshole as per usual with his antics, and Rise's reaction to Naoto's measurements, LOL.

-More Kanji social linking? And the start of gaining Naoto's fortune Arcana.
-LMAO @ Kanji's love showing. I want my Kouhai threesome now, P4A.


Next Scent: Yu obtaining his family social link with his uncle and cousin. The Hierophant and Justice Arcana, possibly.

Naoto's BLUSH! Don't know why, but it's look sooo cute~ ! (cause she's cute) especially in the animation it looks more cute (?) I understand Kanji reaction.

The measurements' scene was much better in the game. (And nobody still doesn't know Naoto's official sizes, lmao! [or I missed it])

Want the "sharing umbrella" scene in the animation so badly.

nonetheless, LIKE IT!

I swear I giggled endlessly like a silly teenager at Naoto being moe and Kanji falling (even more) in love with her. Oh God, those two...

Also, DAT BEELZEBUB.

Looking forward to the ending

In the beginning, Yuu summoned several new Personas.
Chinese sub groups always put the disruptions of each Persona on top.
And I always wonder if I should pause and read it... = =

Beelzebub was pretty epic, again - the girl's reactions were great.

So now we know more about the culprit and that he's still out there.
-Rings the front doorbell.
-Throws people inside the tv right away.

The measurement scene was better with subs, "Wait, were those sizes legit?!" Lmao.

Guess no Cu Chuliann, Abaddon was used as Tower. I have to question what other powerful personas they're going to use for the bigger boss battles coming up.. Still can't believe Beelzebub was used, lol.

Oh man, another great episode. The Shadow Naoto boss fight was AWESOME. When did Yuu get strong enough to summon Beelzebub AND use Megidolaon? Perhaps grinding in the TV world in his spare time? I loved how Rise still found Yuu attractive even as an old man (and another P3 reference; the music that plays during the old man dialogue between Yuu and Yosuke was the Kyoto class trip theme in November)! Margaret even has a rare 'Bushism' gaffe moment, lol. :D

Animation quality has been quite a bit better in the 2nd cour of the season as opposed to the first. ASTA really stepped up their game a bit in the 2nd cour (that and a bit more staff stability). In any case, the BD releases have been superb, so I'm not worried anymore.

2nd half was mostly exposition, though the hospital event was pretty funny (game did it better though). Other than that, still not too rushed, if a bit slow this time. School Festival event next episode (and possible Sun S.Link, since we're missing that one)? That was a pretty big deal in the game. 4/5 episode here. Still 8/10 overall.

a really good episode, surprised to see that they use a buch of named spell in this episode . see Yuu use many Persona to null Naoto Attack was nice, i could recognize some other spell that name was not mentioned.
first one Yuu used was Arahabaki of the Hermit Arcana, wonder why he use it though, he have no resistant against Garu (Wind).
the second one was Abaddon of the Tower Arcana, null fire and the skill he used was Arrow Rain
the third one was Mot of the Death Arcana, null Electricity, but i wonder how Mudoon could slow down Naoto Shadow anyway?
Yuu got aged too and the dialog with Yosuke was hilarious, Kuma use Energy Shower to cure Enervation as expected.
the last one Beelzebub,Ultimate Persona of the Devil Arcana was overkill (Wow, Yuu closer to that Nurse than i thought), it used Mabufudyne and i never thought Megidolaon is THAT powerful

Rise! You always told me that Mudo won't work on bosses! Tell Yuu sooner! And yay defensive moves! Didn't know being old was a status condition. :-P

Yuu pulled out all the stops and went for the hex fusion for Beezelbub. And dang, took out the entire place without a Power Charge up. That's some real power.

I guess it's balanced out with Megidolaon putting the user in danger as well, which is an interesting take on it. Fun fact: the typeless "Almighty" spells are defined with a nuclear symbol!

Next week's gonna be awesome!

Yet another episode full of persona awesomeness !
OMFG Mot, Abadon, and Beelzebub were summoned ! xD
Loveddd itttt soooo damn much... I wish it were that ez to obtain Beelzebub in the game >.>
Oh wow Rise's reaction with Narukami old ver. was priceless... (even though we couldn't see his or her faces during this)
She soooo digs him.
Another action packed episode, Naoto showed lots of girlish emotions in this episode, lmfao Narukami invited her out to eat, That's cute xP
The killer is still on the loose !
Looking forward to episode 18!

Beelzebub and Arahabaki were summoned?! They're like the top Persona for Devil and Hermit respectively. Which basically concludes that every Social Link is maxed everytime Yu encounters one. After seeing all this, I won't be surprised if he'll call out Yoshitsune owning every enemy with Hassou Tobi. Man, I don't remember the game being THIS EASY.

That's some very strong bandages I dare say. Anyway yeah, if you judge by the reaction in the game by Rise and the others you can say she somehow has the biggest bust of them. Still, Rise didn't put out the fact "her three sizes are public information but that her bust is smaller than what her agency says".

Since I've been on a Devil Survivor kick lately, seeing Beelzebub being summoned was a shock, that's a really high level demon right there.

I am wondering about Naoto's bust size, I am assuming she uses some heavy duty binding and that's why Rise was surprised.

Oddly, I was not too fond of this show earlier, but it is slowly growing on me.

Naoto's bust is unknown. No one knows if she's the "biggest". Honestly speaking, I think she's just about Rise's size. I'm sure Rise's reaction was that Naoto wasn't flat like she seems. Not that she's "huge". But who knows.

Also, Cu Chulainn might appear in the future.

How did it suck? Wasn't bad and pretty much covered Naoto's arc..

I'm with you on Tam Lin. Nah, I doubt so. So far they only used one demon for each arcana he's obtained.

lol @ the beginning.

lol @ the idol girl being adorable to the guy being old, too.

Detective "guy" was a grandpa's child, so that robot is making people old?! "His" persona is cute.

It's nice that Kuma's persona can return the age.

Detective "guy" remembering how he was kidnapped, which is helpful in solving the case. And deliquent guy is falling in love!!

Kuma is still a mystery. Naoto's size??

This show has been a real treat for me from the start. I've probably spent over 200 hours playing the game over and over, and to have this much extra characterization is bliss. I'm a little dissapointed they're not exploring the full arcana story lines, but that alone would probably add another cour at least to the show.

Was so not expecting an elderly citizen event, and the beef bowl investigation at the end was hilarious. It made me look back on my attempts on and eventual conquering of the beef bowl with fondness.
