That's the usual problem with a website that is pretty much based on fan entries. If no one cares enough to add the data, then it'll stay that way. So it's mostly up to the fans, not really the staff. I had to add a summary for Danball Senki since there wasn't one when I checked, and if I wasn't so lazy I'd also add the 30+ episodes it's missing. (Though I do have to wonder how people find the time to enter all the random information like all 30+ 2nd Key Animator names and not a summary or episode titles)

It's the second one. A placeholder is used until there is definite info. Of course, the real catch is that someone has to update the Encyclopedia once the definite info arrives, and this often doesn't happen straight away.

Honestly, it isn't hard to understand. I don't know why so many users have trouble with this.

Well, now that I'm caught up...

We have the Fox. I thought for sure that Aika was going to replace the Fox as Hermit. So our options now are either she's Empress (which she doesn't fit, archetypally, and they've already hinted at Margaret keeping it), or she's not even a Social Link (in which I question why they added her in, since she, IMO, is ruining the story).

Also, Nanako's ending was adorable.

How is a character who only makes short cameo appearances ruining the story?

Well, that was a fun episode. I was a bit confused at the very beginning, but y'know, that probably IS how I spent most of August in-game. Funny to see it from another perspective. The fishing gear especially amused me. You go, Yu! Catch that Guardian.

I just cannot understand your hatred for Aika. Laughing

Lol, spoiler[I think I see two Chie in there, one sitting on the deck eating watermelon, the other next to Rise inside]
Gotta admit, got a nice laugh out of that pic!

overall, I liked this episode, kinda feel like one of those slice of life episodes where everything is normal but with a little bit of comedy.

spoiler[and Yu getting 5 social links finished at the same time. wonder if he's trying to get Izanagi no Okami before the eyeball boss or something lol...]

This is in regards to episode 12: Very nice.

The feel as the bonds started slipping away month after month... kinda hurt to watch.

Disclaimer: P4 is in my top 5 rpgs as a game. So far I have enjoyed the anime despite its breakneck pace through the game content.
Ep 12. was a nice departure.

Episode 13:

I really loved it. Felt kinda heart-warming while I was watching Yu help out. It feels like all that long 3 month summer in the game has filled in the gaps from the anime.

Next week spoiler[ Persona 3 city cameo appearance YAY ]

ALL YO' YENS, YIP YIP YAP!

That said, it was a great episode - probably one of my favorites so far. But man, they knocked out five social links in just two episodes. Makes me really curious to see how the end of this series will be paced.

Have to admit the new opening theme isn't really jiving with me. I liked the first much better. Same with the ending which showed which Arcana Yu just unlocked for the episode.. though I suppose we're winding down on Arcana with how many we just knocked out in 2 episodes.

yeah I didn't like the new opening at first but everytime I listen to it, it had its own amazingness to it.

Burn My Dread as the OP! And we get to see inside the love hotel, this is awesome! Burn My Dread at the eyecatch, too. All the P3 music... especially BMD:FES for the club (just like in the game).

Ooo, putting Chie's social link here is interesting, too, but it works.




As for Aika, I don't see why I need to defend my dislike of her. People have their own reasons for liking/disliking things, that's their prerogative. I feel that she does nothing to add to the story, and much to detract from it, ruining just about every scene she's in. Further than that, my opinions on her character are just that: my opinions, and I will not speak further on my reasoning, as I see no point in it.


[edit- grammar, I has it]

The music made me want to take another run through P3.... But then I could not decide portable on the PSP or FES on PS2.
I have been through P3 and P4 3 times each, and it is amazing how ingrained that music becomes. Thank god it was and is actually very listenable.
