I didn't expect Eiko to die. Though the moment she found the site of the battle it certainly started to seem more than likely. I wonder what was the significance of that place that she knew to drive there to look for Ryou. It'll be quite a shock to the brothers to lose both their older brother and Eiko, I reckon.
Still, the greater plot of this series is very hard to grasp.
Yeah, I hear that. I was fine with the fragmented storyline near the beginning, but by this point, I expected there to be a lot more to tie things together. They're introducing more mysteries faster than they're giving us answers which makes for discontented viewers. With the level of how much I understand of what is going on right now, I feel like this should be about the 5th or 6th episode, not more than halfway through the series. Maybe they're relying heavily on making allusions to the game to make up for it, but I can't tell since I've never played it. It'll probably be inertia that carries me through to the end. I really did like it a lot at the beginning.Originally Posted by Kraco
Maybe we'll never find out what happened to Eiko now, or why she was having those strange visions like in the submarine. The most interesting piece of info gleaned from the latest ep is that the group is after Jun, or rather, his twin. Shin better start finding out what's going on or else I'm going to despair that they'll ever explain it to the viewers. Alternatively, they could make up for it with some epic battles.
Did Ryou really die? I thought he was going to judging from the preview before last, but comparing his wound to Eiko's, his wound is lower, he didn't die instantly, and he's missing the pool of blood that's surrounding Eiko.
I'm scratching my head at the storyline. We have a vague idea that those guys are bad and they want to steal Personas (the obvious), but that's it. That old guy was a bit weird though. At first, I thought he was a persona taking the form of a human, since he kind of transformed into one rather than release one. Also, when he was talking, we were looking at the monster, not the human. When he died though, we saw the guy in a chair screaming. So somehow, he can project his shape shifting persona for incredible distances....
Only other thing I got was that the red girl was someone close, probably his daughter or granddaughter. He (and his dad?) experimented on her and killed her, and because she's died, he's continuing this so she didn't die in vain.
I knew Jun could hear personas, but seemed like he heard Eiko's death rather than Ryou's.
Like KitKat said, the next episode will probably give us more questions than answers...

Just got around to watching episode 14... so, is that Akihiko from Persona 3 or what? Considering the cops called him Sanado-san I'm inclined to believe so. Truthfully, I haven't been very interested in this show at all but the appearance of what would seem to be Akihiko-senpai made the episode positively awesome for me given that he was one of my favorite characters from Persona 3. Hopefully this is a trend as the anime could be pure awesome if it took more from the source material.
... And who the hell is the caretaker guy really? His demeanor reminds me of Ken but his face reminds me more of Junpei. He's been in the anime all along but now it's obvious enough that he has some past connection to Akihiko which leads me to suspect that he's from Persona 3 as well.

/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
Damn... I saw Akihiko appeared on this series... so maybe I'll re-start getting it... hopefully he will use an Evoker...
Has he?
The last episode cleared some stuff up, but also introduced more questions. The temporary chief is the guy Ryou keeps talking to on the phone, correct? I'm trying to understand whtat their past organisation (the one with the old man) and the current one that steals people's personas have to do with each other. It's hard to tell whether Ryou is really gone or not, since he's got all those feathers around him when he shot. But with him gone now, it's up to Shin and the others to fight I guess.

Alright fights, and some decent background knowledge of Megumi. Jun seems to have no real offensive capabilities, but rather nullifying and healing ones. I just don't like the new way they time the subtitles in Ep 17, kind of distracting.

Persona - trinity soul - 18v2 Ainex. That was rather fast, didn't expect that.
After watching: incomprehensible, really.

Things are starting to get good. We're finally building up for a finale, with the enemy group finally making their move. Though the whole persona thing is as confusing as ever, it's interesting seeing that Ayane could steal Jun's personality away, but leave Yuki's. Somehow, this whole Whale and Feathers thing seems to be symbolic for something, but I can't quite put a finger on it.

Just checking in to say that I'm downloading all the episodes I missed, and hopefully will get caught up on this soon. I'm determined to finish it, just haven't had reliable internet for a while. Here's to hoping that it improves after episode 14 where I left off (although, I've been hoping this after every ep and have yet to see my wish granted...)
Good to see someone else watching this other than me.

Well... I retook the series just because Akihiko appeared, and I am up to date with Ainex...
First half of series was damn bad... but after Ayane's story started to develop it went uphill.
I still dislike the theme of stealing other's persona... but apart from that it has been good lately (thank god they Killed Kanaru as well...)
And no surprise... I like Ayane and Kayano (both red-heads)
Almost there...
