Hello,
Let's talk about the seventh episode of the anime series Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4 that continues to add new members to the main cast and is now ready to complete the definitive army to discover the culprit behind the murders!
Yes, because at the moment we're just missing the two remaining girls Rise Kujikawa and Shirogane Naoto that will likely be the focus of one of the future episodes.
I was in awe by how they managed to adapt the "persona fusion" game mechanic inside the anime and I'm eager to know about any other feature that still need to be adapted in the future.
The episode continues from where we left off with our team reluctanctly (for obvious and relatable reasons) entering the TV world to save Kanji from being killed by his "peculiar" shadow.
It was funny to see how even our protagonist wasn't really sure about saving Kanji while risking something more important than his life! It was nice to see the "passive" main character becoming slowly more and more human.
We also get plenty of Chie / Yukiko time in this episode with Yukiko starting to act more and more like her shadow now that the restraints on her have been removed. I think that she's a lot more charming this way!
This scene was incredible, both for comedy values (the answer of the male part of the team) and fanservice values! Now the only question is "Where is the doujin manga for this scene?!"...
If there is some artist/writer listening to this plea, please create a doujin for this scene and I'll be the first one to buy your work! :D
I like how the director is able to create fanservice without resorting to explicit stuff. It's a nice change from time to time.
Negative points of the episode? Nothing from the story standpoint, but like with BokuTomo the series is starting to lose animation quality slowly, but surely!
We're still not at a level that could be considered "horrible", but I'm scared that it could become a possibility. Especially if we think that we are not even at the half-way mark for this two cour series...
Next episode will focus on the obligatory fanservice swimsuit scenes with, possibly, some additional story advancement. Awwww, where is my time machine? I want to see my lovely Chie in swimsuit!
Concluding, Persona 4 is still a solid series with plenty of possibilities to grow as a hit of this season and I'm look forward to blog and watch the future episodes...
See you soon,
