| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- NEW OP and ED!! OP: "key plus words" by Shihoko Hirata feat Yume Kawamura, ED: "Koisuru Meitantei (恋する名探偵)" by Love Lean (Yui Horie). Not really sure if the name is Love Lean or Loveleen or other variations (ラブリーン). From the new OP, looks like the "high school detective" is going to join the group. The guy is home late everyday, and the cousin girl is following him with the character she's into, the character looks like Milky Holmes... The first day was disturbed by human Kuma, and second day was rest of the friends, so he was out alone. Kuma's there, again!! lol~ The guy was with different women, even old woman the third day she investigates... Next day, he wears fishing outfit? Police uncle is busy with new case, and she goes alone for the festival. "Detective highschooler" is here and he told her to not give up investigating. Even he knows about the character. Sugita-san is one of the guys who got helped by her? She helped lots of people along the way. The cousin girl finally found the guy and they got to see the fireworks together. Eating Suika! Cute ED featuring the cousin girl. Next week airs early, 1:56AM, and revealing what he's been doing all these days. |

| I liked the new OP! |
| Just remembered no more "sky's the limit" since it's halfway through the series now, new OP looked good. The song should catch on sooner or later for me, the guitar in it is pretty awesome, expected from Shoji. ED must be for this episode only? Nanako and her drawings, lol... Anywho - People who wanted drunk Dojima, got it here Stupid popped up collar continues for another episode. Dear god....Nanako's cuteness....There has to be a limit on that thing, lmao. Teddie joining in and ruining the chase was pretty funny. Yipyipyapgimmeallyo'yens. - Hermit Arcana "Your Affection" playing while the gang searched for Narukami was awesome, so nostalgic. Finally getting that Kanji/Rise interactions, now if only that last person missing can join in on the teasing they're gonna get from dearest Risette. ROFL @ the bus scene.. Nurse Sayako, not even Rise+Ai could look as pushy as she did lol - Devil Arcana. MILF that's not really a MILF - Temperance Arcana. Lol @ the "funny" glasses being worn again, Yukiko will never stop laughing at that.. The girls mistake his interactions with Old Lady, Hisano, huh? lol - Death Arcana. Shu appears aswell - not a fan of his SocialLink so don't really care. - Tower Arcana And of course, Nanako - Justice Arcana, not sure if he got it, but looks like he did.. Adachi and his cabbage or is that watermelon?lol. Naoto appearance. Old lady Shiroku appearance - I thought she was Hanako there for a sec,lol. Ai's conceited awesomeness and Daisuke/Kou. Even Daidara Metalworks owner appeared. This episode was pretty awesome, for me. Nice break from all that Mitsuo creepy-ness and Yu's dramatic thoughts of being alone.. Despite not continuing the plot, glad they introduced some of the minor characters. And will continue on with them the next episode. Also hoping for the gang going to the festival together. *And so, Narukami has started 6Arcanas, so 6bonds = 6 new personas for later, not including Teddie's star arcana, as he hasn't used it yet. So 7 in all that we might see later, or he might spam if they decided to do that again. Wonder if the king's game is after episode 13 or 14. Subs for this episode is gonna be a pain to wait for, as for the OP, too. |

| I liked the new opening, and the ending was cute but hopefully it will change when the main story continues. I liked this episode, Nana-chan was so cute, makes me want a little sister and it's also a break from the real story. I guess we'll have to wait for next week to find out what Narukami was up to! |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
Necrosaro said: Well, 20/5 for me this go. Best episode of the season. I have to agree. Didn't seem rushed either. Besides Nanako's adorableness, this made the episode:  LMAO, his cabbage obsession can't get any funnier. |
|
| Hilarious! Looks like the anime team is doing a great job making game material into something original for the anime :) I had great fun watching this episode. Many new characters appeared this time as well as some known faces. All of Yu's new social links came of as mysterious and will be explained next episode. Though it's a little annoying that Yu never informs his friends and family about his summer jobs. Highlights: Nanako-chan! *sparkly eyes* Fox! Teddie being Teddie AdachiXcabbage, lol Sushi and drunk Dojima Kanji's excitement for watermelon - priceless XD Fireworks! |

| New opening and ending, kind of indifferent towards them, they're not bad, just not exactly thrilled about engrish. Anyhow, I initially watched Persona 4 hoping for a plot-centered anime, which resulted in me being inevitably disappointed. However, if you watch this as a slice-of-life, or a comedy, then it's great. The atmosphere really is enjoyable. Just not sure if it'll be filler-isque episodes from here on out though. Enjoyed the episode. |

| I like the both opening and ending, thought the ending didn't fit in Persona 4 anime. Damn you! Neo Featherman in the preview rofl Yeah Nanako is the best! So cute! |

| Love the episode but... |
| New OP is great, and the ED quite nice. |

OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... Amen. |
| Nice filler episode?! <3 So... What DID Yuu do? >_> I guess we'll know next episode...~ |
 |
| I like the new OP and I thought the ending was cute lol I laughed when I saw Yuu with sparkly eyes XD |
 |
OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... OMG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AHAHAHAH Plus I found it hilarious that only after half the ep I understood the toy said "I'll fill you with holes" instead of "I'll fill all your holes"... me and my mind xD |

| wow thats a terrible mess up, lol. Yosuke looked cool in the OP  |

OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... lol. I hope they notice/fix that for the DVD/BD sales. |
| A good episode. I enjoyed the focus on Nanako and it worked just as well given the space they have. Fitting four social links into one eppy (although I think they will be explained in 14) along with the major Nanako + story events was pretty good going! Judging by the post above it seems like I wasn't the only one who did a double take when Chie appeared outside and inside lololol. When i first saw it I was like "why is Chie the only one outside with nanako and Yu?" so I glanced up to find her sitting inside as welll XD Loved Adachi and Cabbage = win when he was stroking it. Although I don't know why it was even there - seems like desperate fan service >.< New opening was alright. Was a little disappointed with the song but I'm sure it'll grow on me. Hope the ending doesn't stay as it is i.e. like the Rise opening. |
| the hanabi was so great... I wanna go to the Matsuri after I watch this episode. haha. And the new OP and ED isn't bad as well. OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... I just realized there was 2 chie XD lol. |
 |
| Who else thinks that was Yu wearing "Teddy's skin" when they saw Teddy get off the bus? *waves hand around enthusiastically* ME xD Oh yeah...and LOL that they put that late night fishing thing in there.... I forget which SLink that was for but that little errand I had to do in-game drove me NUTS |
:3 |

I forget which SLink that was for but that little errand I had to do in-game drove me NUTS Since switching costumes and Neo Featherman weren't in the game (although the latter was mentioned quite a bit in P3), it's anybody's guess. However, Yu is one tall dude and I doubt can fit inside. Maybe it's a new character or it has something to do with Teddie? |
| xD.... Oh the misunderstandings~ Pretty creative way to fit all these part-time social links together xD. O.o I barely recognized Sayako, until I saw her mole xD. Her face felt a bit thinner compared to the game picture Seems like the romance is going to be Yuu alone (or with Rise... or...unless they intend to choose to go with the more difficult pairing to get in the game xD), considering Chie and Yukiko's rather subdued reactions. Couldn't help but go into fangirl mode when Naoto cheered up Nanako xD. ~patiently waits for Naoto's shadow~ |
| Damn it...I love Naoto so much. That is all. Wait, no it isn't. One last thing. The people who think that this ED is going to stay instead of being a special ED for this Nanako episode are either crazy or haven't been watching anime for very long. |
 This scene was epic too, "she's super old" lmfao. OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... TAN must have messed up something. The RAW version doesn't have 2. http://i.imgur.com/3tXoM.jpg kuroikishi said: Seems like the romance is going to be Yuu alone (or with Rise... or...unless they intend to choose to go with the more difficult pairing to get in the game xD), considering Chie and Yukiko's rather subdued reactions. Well, Yukiko really didn't deny anything, she just said it would be embarrassing if they got caught. Chie was straight forward about it tho. |

The RAW version doesn't have 2. http://i.imgur.com/3tXoM.jpg that kind of weird & scary in the same time I love this ep.... nanako is really cute <3 It sucks that her father always working & she living alone in that house that loveline kind remind me with tantei milky holmes LOL when they misunderstood Yuu for dating with the ladies love the song played when they searching for him naoto <3 what's up with that fishing gear & teddie in that bus XD daww with nanako holding hand with yuu & dojima new OP is good & ED suits nanako.. maybe it stays only for this ep |
 |
| 魔法の探偵 Loveline! Nanako was the best detective ever. I didn't expect, Yuu, that you're such a womanizer! Spying Yuu was totally epic. An these funny glasses xD Naoto appeared - again. When detective met detective. x3 And he... This episode was totally... LOL! xD And this new OP - lovinlovinlovinlovinloving this~ |
 |
| Yep, I just rewatched the episode with Commie's release and there definitely were not two Chies in the watermelon scene. |
OMGDayTrippeR said: as much as i love her MAKE THAT ONE BURN! i knew something was up with this scene i was like Why the F is she just chilling with them there?.Love the episode but... |
 |
| man was this pretty good whenever nanako asked what yuu did all summer i was thinking to myself *I was working on all my social links before it's to late Gawh!!!*,seems next week they're gonna show what happened to those that didn't understand what he was doing~. |
| |
| Holy shit, Kanji sprinkling that magic dust on the Watermelon made me laugh more than it did in the game. |
| The new OP was okay, that's about it. I thought the original was fantastic and one of the best from the fall season, the new one isn't even half as good. Mediocre song, mediocre animation. Average, at best. The new ED was just plain bad but I'm hoping they are just using that one for this episode. It doesn't really fit the series as a whole, after all. The episode itself was pretty good, I guess. I enjoyed it but it didn't really feel like a lot was going on. Also not really sure how happy I am over how different the anime is making Nanako from the the way she was in the game. As for the second Chie, my explanation is it's a nasty shadow that followed them somehow. They can't see it because they aren't wearing the glasses. Maybe. Stalker Shadow, works for me. Creepy too. |
| This episode was... amazing. Opening was amazing. Yu in Teddie's suit was amazing. Magical Detective Nanako was amazing. Magical Detective Naoto was amazing. Watermelon was amazing. Ending was amazing. Everything was amazing. |

webkid94 said: Next ep is the same as this only from Narukami's perspective. Girl with a mole, single mom, old lady and a nerd. That's going to be interesting. You forgot the Fox. Lookin forward to next Ep. Can anyone remember the fox quests I only remember the fishing one at the end and that one where he builds a robot (cos that was annoying). Devil, Death, Temperance, Tower and Hermit were all packed together but at least its interesting. |
| Anime, Food and Sleep Who needs anything more! |
OMGDayTrippeR said: Love the episode but... Weird in my version Chie is only inside the house . Anyway Nice Episode ;) . |

I remember the one with the girl who wants to learn how to talk well, the one with the woman who lost her wallet, the one with the lost dog, the girl at school who wants to get a boy to notice her, and the one with the woman who wants to stop eating snacks... the last few I'm drawing a blank on. I doubt that most of them will show up in the anime though. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| good episode spin off of detective loveline on the way??? lol i like the new op |
 |
| it had some funny moments and it was a pretty original way to do those social links. but i got a little bored at some times but that's just me, looking foward to episode 15. |
| Nanako's episode = supreme goodness! Suche MOE! :D 4 new SL too, damn Sayoko has such a girly voice ^^ |
| cute episode |
  |
| This ep reminded me of a good YT comment: May be less funny for those who didn't play the game, but whatever. Especially the bolded part.. am I the only one who had the home > room > sleep routine? |
| Did you like my avatar, perv? |
| Really great moments in this episode. I totally forgot about the fishing sidequest. Wow, that's a bad screwup. Totally didn't notice that the first time I watched. |
| I had to wait an extra week just to see Nanako's face? Really? Well anyway... DAT OP. IT WAS LOVE. |

Yay for more Reincarnation music and Nanako! Was looking forward to the new Tarot cards in the ED but this works too. |
