LOL Episode 7 was hilarious, if not very disturbing at times.
They just added another member to their time, and if I saw things correctly, they will add one more before the story starts to get into the plot of things. The comedy in this anime has been one of its bright spots. We definitely could use some good comedy, considering this season's much more serious anime around.

Lol Yukiko flipped and it was awesome. Chie lost her cool as well. Oh man Kanji's impostor was hilarious and so were his 2 sidekicks. Kanji's persona really suits him though. So Narukami fused 2 of his personas into a shield?

Episode 7:
* LOL at Yuu recording Bad Bad Bathhouse! * If I remember correctly, the story about Kanji trashing the biker gang to help his mom and helping the little kid out are part of his Social Link. At least we have a physical hint instead of the game's "gathering information." (When gathering info and talking to Kanji's mom, she mentions that a small boy had asked about him. The MC and I always thought that referred to Naoto, but now I see it could refer to the little kid. Good on the anime for this.) * Shadow Kanji: Hi, I'm Kanji! *sparkle* Yuu and Yosuke: summon Personas immediately * Yes, Yukiko is dangerous when she gets angry. * Yay, Yuu's Expression finally went up. Now he's becoming an... immature perv like Yosuke? * "Let's just leave!" * "Shit! I don't [have a video camera]!" * After missing out on Charming Prince last battle, it's nice to see that Shadow Kanji comes with Nice Guy and Tough Guy. The sub-bosses each absorb different elements, which is why the initial attacks didn't work. * The Strength persona that Yuu changed to was Rakshasa, if I'm not mistaken. * Yuu fuses Magician (we know it's Pyro Jack) with an unseen Priestess to create the Moon persona Yamata-no-Orochi. Based on the fusion system, I'm guessing that the Priestess was Ganga. Now that it's been fused, I suppose we'll never see that. * Kanji does more to save himself than the entire party! * Yeah, ED shows Yuu got the Emperor arcana. Ingame, it is not automatic, and here in the show we've already gone through a substantial portion of it. * "Tow days ago" Sigh, first mistake I think?

Oh dear lord this is the new BEST Persona episode !!! The comedy is beyond top notch with Yuu having the best lines and reactions! Oh and to make up for last week's lack of a punchline-
"Do you want a copy?" "Let's just leave!" "Shit! I don't have a video camera!" "I don't want to go in." "I should abandon him..." And the girls weren't too shabby as well Which both of them trying to keep cool but eventually snapped. Btw, I know Yamato no Orochi, but who are the other two Personas Yuu summoned before getting violated?

Strength - Rakshasa, if I'm not mistaken. Didn't do much. Priestess - unseen, but Ganga based on analysis of the fusion system, fused for Orochi Magician - Pyro Jack, fused for Orochi Chariot - Ara Mitama Moon - Yamato no Orochi. Apparently Yuu did not automatically gain a persona here and had to fuse it. I think that's all the personas he has had for now.

Who knew that a bathhouse would make the gang very uncomfortable. Those lines from Narukami are hilarious. Talking about insecurity and insanity. Kanji beating his own Shadow was something no other member would be willing to do.

The Personas are based on many different fictional creatures and mythological legends. Persona 3's characters used Personas that were more in-common with western/Grecian mythology or Christian biblical figures like Orpheus, Thanatos and Messiah (Jesus).
Persona 4's characters on the other hand use Personas based on eastern/Japanese mythology, like Izanagi, Tomoe Gozen or Take-Mikazuchi. Jack Frost, Pyro Jack, Black Frost and King Frost are exceptions as they are actually based on Atlus' mascot characters.

Indeed. If I recall correctly, the game producers went with Japanese mythology for P4's characters because it matched more with the game's setting in rural Japan.
Next episode, Spoiler for Ep. 07:
