So, I'm torn. Do I consider the man behind one of my favorite shows incompetent? Or do I chalk up Yugo to having great source material even an incompetent director couldn't screw up? I'm leaning towards the latter, so while I disagree with your statement on Kamisama Dolls (ie: I think it's fairly standard fare that is very similar to the vast majority of his works), I totally agree he is an incompetent.

So to sum up the episode: Yu's Knowledge and Understanding increased, Chie confronted her shadow self and received her Persona and Yu gained the Chariot arcana because of his bond with Chie.
And I'm surprised they actually did have Yu change his Persona to Pyro Jack. I'm guessing most fights will have him start with Izanagi but then later on he'll change it to something different when things get difficult. Nice to see Jiraiya in action too with his signature Garu techniques. I guess the shorter an action scene is the cooler it is allowed to look.~ Yu also managed to be pretty funny this episode. "I'm gonna cry" and "I should have recorded that" made me laugh. Looks like Yukiko's episode is next week.~

All the game callbacks are pretty awesome, but still suit the visual style of the show. Also, the OP and ED are growing on me.
Spoiler for comparisons to the game up til this point, no actual spoilers:
But that's all just second-guessing the direction. The episode was lots of fun. I can't wait for next week. |

Episode has improved drastically from the previous one. Those masks that Chie have remind me of Shirley from Code Geass R2. I could've sworn Narukami said Jack o' Lantern anyway. Wish Persona combos would've work like back in P2.

It was actually a pretty decent episode. Narukami gets bonus points for witty comments, folding dem paper cranes has to have helped.
Humor was good, but I feel as though they could work on establishing the mood for the serious parts. They played the dark mystery tone, then we got an Adachi nonchalant ramble that overpowered any sinking feeling. We got a sad Chie, then a happy one the very next second. They could have done little things like lowering Adachi's voice and giving Chie a tiny pause/bite of lip (though that's kinda cliche) to set the mood. Very happy to see Pyro Jack. Plenty of fighting going on. The digitalizing shadow touch is kinda weird. Right now it's a bit intrusive, but not so much and I'll probably adapt soon. |

Two things:
1) Narukami has some awesome one-liners Everything from "I think I'm gonna cry", "I should have taped it" to the classic "I don't know him" 2) HOLY SHIT I take that back, they've actually gonna make Yuu use more than one Persona ?!?! But Pyro Jack ? Shouldn't they start with Jack Frost Or is it because this Boss' weakness is fire and wind so they need Agi and Garu? He won it in a random card draw while fighting the trash mobs...
