Butterfly Dreams

It figures that by the time I fully support Ryou and Eiko, Eiko dies. Or maybe it’s because Eiko dies that I support the pairing. In any case, Ryou may be joining her, since he’s quite injured, too. Ever since Gundam 00 managed to kill off a main character, I’m not striking out the possibility that Ryou will die. It was obvious something was going to happen to him when he saluted the two officers that were supsicious of him since forever, but Eiko’s death came out of no where. Why Eiko believed she could hide a tracking device in his car is beyond me. If he was the police chief and he didn’t catch that, they’d have one really weak police chief.

It’s always the quiet ones, ne? I knew Kanaru was really into Shadow Pulling, but who ever knew it was that deep? And I mean that literally as well, since that girl was feeling some things real deep. It really bothered me that she kept on lying to her friends to join up with her groupies and do some Pulling, but I guess it’s hard for someone to go cold turkey on a ‘drug’ like that. And I thought Megumi just released her Persona once when she was little, but it seems she has done it a little more recently as well, which surprises me.

Forcing one’s Persona out through Shadow Pulling doesn’t help one’s Persona, though. I wonder what took over and possessed Kanaru during a few scenes in Episode 11– and what the hell came out when she freaked at th end of the episode. I also wonder why the number of Persona users have dropped since “Inui’s time”. Is this why there are organizations to collect the most powerful left? Shin x Kanaru went up and down. I thought the slap was pure WIN, and he was there for her when she was relapsing. Kanaru’s attitude really bothered me this episode, though, so I don’t support them any more than I did before.

If you were having major deja vu going on in the beginning of Episode 10, you’re not alone. These two episodes happen in the same time frame, but I guess they decided to split it instead of shortening the scenes and go back and forth. Compared to a similar tatic done with Rental Magica, I like the way PERSONA has done it much better. And of the two episodes, I enjoyed Episode 10 more.

Episode 9 had a lot of talking where as Episode 10 had much more action and scene changes to keep it fresh, but the graphics with the feathers at the end of Episode 9 was simply amazing. It was also interesting to hear more about Jun and Yuki. I’m still sorting through the philosophical talk, though. And the whole thing about ten years ago, including the random woman and hospitalized man. And I don’t like Shin with that woman.
