Naoto wears a cap and he looks a little like the main character from Persona 3. He uses a revolver. His persona appears to be a little creature wearing formal clothes. His VA [...]

Wow this show just gets more and more depressing. This week featured a blast to the past of the incident that started the whole persona-fication of the entire town. While they explained it in detail and I tried to catch the details here and there, this episode basically confirmed my “understanding” of the [...]

This post is just as random as how I got to read the book “Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet”, which became my source of inspiration for this. And in case you're wondering, I didn't type this under the summer sun. I had this post scheduled ^^; Most of my life I've been struggling with a superiority-inferiority complex, and despite how many times I convince myself that I should be proud of myself, take pride in my abilities and what God has endowed me, I was never fully at peace, and that inferior angsty attention-seeker persona of mine would always creep in no matter what. At one point I'd think that I'm so good like I can rule the world! But then at times just a simple criticism is enough to crush my pride as though it was simply founded in sand. That's how shaky it was.

NO KANARU OH GOD WHY!?! Oh my god I cried so much at the end of this episode. “Do I look like a normal girl to you?” “Er well…normal..I mean you’re cute and uh…” “The memories with you, Megumi, Takurou and Jun are my only real ones.” [...]

Figure maker Alter updated their official site this morning with listings for three new figures scheduled to appear in their October '08 release lineup! The first is Ayanami Rei, heroine of the Eva franchise (here credited as being from the new movie, though it's hard to tell). Her sculpt is from Numakura Toshiaki, and she's set for release at 1/8 scale (17 cm long) and 6,090 yen retail. Next up is Elizabeth from Persona 3 FES, with a sculpt from Saitou Fumiki. She's also due out at 6,090 yen and 1/8 scale (22 cm tall). Finally there's Aya, from Onee-Chanbara VorteX. She's due out at 1/7 scale (25 cm tall) and 8,190 yen, with a sculpt from Takeuchi Goutarou (Atelier Bamboo). None of the three appear to be significantly castoffable. Images below:

Famed seiyuu 釘宮理恵/Rie Kugimiya is set to voice one of the characters in Persona 4, perhaps a welcome break for her from voicing slot machines. She will voice Rise Kujikawa, an idol who returns from the big city to her hometown, the backwater country town setting of Persona 4. See the scan below – her character [...]

Slowly but surely this series is getting to a close. As more things are revealed, stuff is actually beginning to make sense. That is not to say that I can truly say I actually understand the who what where and why…but at least I can get the basic idea being conveyed here. So anyway Soutaro [...]

You might have noticed that I haven’t really been writing lately, and I haven’t been keeping up with this. Although, I’m probably not missing anything of value as always. Anyway, this is because I have a job and working 37 hours a week so far, and then I’m going camping soon with some friends for [...]

PERSONA is back in action! It’s been a long while since I blogged any PERSONA, let alone watched any, so I think it’d be best to tell what happened in the last episode. Shin’s older brother, Ryou went to go face Kujou, leader of the Marebito, even though he knew he’d lose. [...]
