Hello everyone,
This morning we'll talk about the 10th episode of the action anime series Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4 that completes the Rise Arc and gives us almost the final team with only Naoto missing!
I liked how they have shown the conflict between Rise and the "many shadows" of her heart, this was probably the best arc in terms of storyline of the whole series till now.
It was a bit unclimactic for Kuma to win the fight alone, but I suppose that's a way to make him stand up more compared to the mascotte character role he was acting till now.
The episode continues from last week with our cute Risecchi being kidnapped to the TV world, her shadow was really peculiar, but we didn't really hated her right?!
It was hilarious to see our protagonist trying to record the scene on the TV at the very beginning of the episode. Everyone want some fanservice scene of Risecchi after all...:P
When inside the dungeon I thought the battle was going too fast compared to the other arcs, but it looks like they had to go fast because they included another shadow in the same episode.
Risecchi is definitely a nice and amiable girl. Personality wise she's the most "girl" of the team and I have to agree that Rie Kugimiya's voice is perfect for the role.
The real difference between her and the other girls (Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi) is that she don't try to hide the fact that she likes the protagonist.
This probably will make her the most dreaded enemy for our queen Chie Satonaka in her quest to conquer Narukami's heart. :P
Kuma's shadow story on the other side was really short, but I wonder if this links to the mysterious girl shown together with Kuma in many wallpapers found on the net...
I think we'll get to know as soon as Kuma uses his new persona in the next dungeon (that will probably not be Naoto's one?!) for the first time I suppose...:D
Next episode we get to known someone who claim to be the culprit of all the killings. While I think he's early for the real culprit to appear I'm curious about how they'll play out his story and what information our heroes will gain.
Concluding, Persona 4 is continuing to prove an entertaining and funny series and I'll continue to watch and blog about it in the future as well.
See you soon,
