Hello everyone,
This morning we'll talk about the sixth episode of the action / "mystery" anime series of this fall season 2011 named Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4 based on a game with the same name.
The series is finally back on track to explore the remaining three characters in the main cast. While this episode was dedicated to Kanji, we also get a small cameo of our lovely Shirogane Naoto that we'll probably get to know better soon enough!
I was really amused of the initial scene in the velvet room with the secretary girl trying to flirt with our protagonist! I wonder if there is a route for her in the game! :P
The episode was slow paced with many calm moments in which our main characters were just playing around or studying toward the middle year exam. (that, by the way, was a disaster for Chie)
It was refreshing to see Nanako enter the fray joining the team for a day, I am sure she won't be an enemy any time soon. (too cute to be evil :P)
The new main character presented, Kanji, is the classic character that act strong, but have at the same time a weakness for the cute things. I am only a bit scared by what has been shown in the TV world, because if that is his other self then we all have to be careful for our own good...:P
Chie is wonderful as you can see in every scene and in every situation. Her smile when inviting Nanako to partecipate to the meeting was really extremely cute, she is the only one who can rival Nanako in terms of cuteness.
I wonder if she has already fallen for our protagonist (just like Yukiko as shown in that "blush-galore" scene near the end) or she still need some time to mature a bit.
By the way Nanako calling our protagonist "onii-chan" was so damn great to hear. I'm a bit jelly now...:P
I have plenty of questions now on the main story that I hope they'll resolve up soon. Just why all the person connected to the first victim get kidnapped in the shadow world?
What happen to the "failed persona" when they kill the original self? Do they still live freely in the TV world or they disappear as well?
Next episode seems to focus on completing Kanji's arc and his introduction inside the main team. If they continue with this pace we'll get the full team in 5 episodes time right near halfway through this series allotted time.
Concluding, this series is continuing to be very entertaining and I'm looking forward to watch and blog the future episodes as well!
See you soon,
