This episode of Persona – Trinity Soul – was pretty faced paced as there’s was a lot going on, but I still was trying to figure out how everything is put together, and connected. This episode suggests that Megumi has the same ability as Shin. While Shin and his friends are at the police station, things get interesting as Ryou dragged Shin from his friends and told him to leave the city, and move to another place. After Shin leaves he police station and meets Eriko, we get another shot of the pills and container that Ryou has been using, though like other people watching this show, I’m wondering why he has to take these pills.

I was a bit lost as the second half as the second episode of this episode played out, as a group of people want to shadow strip Shin, and Ryou using his powers to fight against other Latents. From the next episode credits it looks like things should become clearer, as it looks like Shin and Ryou have a talk about what is going on.

If one loves circus, and killer clowns then you will enjoy this episode, as the traveling trio, visit a circus where a sexy ring master kidnaps and kills people from the audience, to bring her child back to life.

I liked how this episode had a dark element to this episode, with this episode all showing of the trio sleeping cutely asleep. Also this episode showed of Baroqueheat using his sword, that appears in the opening theme.

Seeing Rahzel blush in this episode a couple of times in this episode, also made be enjoy this episode even more.

This episode of Hatenkou Yuugi takes place in a jail with the three traveling companies spending most of this episode is a jail, with a small boy that they meet. I really liked the opening of this episode with it being filmed in the early black an white movie style, though if this episode played out in this fashion, I would of enjoyed this episode greatly, as I don’t think an episode has played out in this fashion.

I thought that this episode was okay in the end, though I enjoyed Baroqueheat’s attempts to get close to Rahzel in this episode. Even though we don’t get it explained how Rahzel’s gets her teddy bear back, I wonder if the episode will end like Rahzel said, with her being a cute old lady, with Alzied and Baroqueheat be old gentleman?

This episode has gotten some flack for having stills used as action scenes, but I’m understanding, because Studio Deen are probably now working on Vampire Knight and Maria-sama ga Miteru. Despite the so called action scene getting some flack in this episode, people won’t complain when Vampire Knight and Maria-sama ga Miteru air.

Slightly off topic, does anybody else think that Zero Kiryuu (Vampire Knight) and Alzied are similar from a character design and attitude point of view?

As the previous episode of Gundam 00 was a build up episode, that foreshadowed Union, HRL and AEU combing 52 squads (832 mobile suits), to capture a Gundam for their respective sides. As the AEU,HRL and Union haven’t been on good terms with one another in the past, it was good to finally see each side put their differences aside, to hopefully learning something the captured Gundam, and then most likely fight against the other factions with hopefully superior technology.

Before getting into the big battle in this episode, I liked the small minor details that this episode presented, such as Louise wanting Saji to buy her a brand ring (a wedding ring perhaps?) to make her feel better since her mother left. Also I enjoyed seeing Felt falling asleep after some coffee, wanting to hear any word from the Gundam Meisters. Also I loved Patrick’s reaction when he saluted Captian Kathy Monakin, when she tells Patrick to get ready to launch. Lastly I thought that Joushua’s scene where he gets a rush off ambition to make captain, in this episode, was interesting, as he was the only person in Graham’s squad to go against him.

I thought the big battle that occurs in this episode to capture a Gundam was pretty good, as the music did help make the scenes exciting, and energetic. Even though the audience doesn’t get a good view of the new Gundam’s, my initial opinion of them it that they a more bulky then the current Gundam’s, though still have the agility, speed and strength of the current Gundam’s.

I’m really looking forward to the next episode, to have a little peek at the personality’s of the new Gundam pilot’s, and the new Haro.

This episode deals with the second selection, so Hino, Tsukimori, Yunoki, Shimizu, Fuyuumi and Hihara get new outfits for their performance. Before the second selection gets under way, the playing musicians get to meet Tsukimori’s mother (Hamai Misa). After the audience and musicians get to have a look at Tsukimori’s mother and father, comments are made that Tsukimori gets his looks from his mother.

It was good IMO to see that Kanazawa made a bet with Hihara, that if he places higher than three people then Kanazawa has to treat him to a meal of his favourite food, as some competitors make small bets with one another.

This selection is more interesting then the previous one, with Tsukimori being disqualified for not turning up on time to play his piece, as he is lock in a closet by three students that he made upset, in the previous episodes.

After the ending credits play, we get to see Tsukimori’s piece that he was to play in the selection. With Tsukimori being disqualified in this episode, it will make the race to be the top musician in the school selection more interesting.

If you’re a Tsukimori X Hino fan, then there’s a small scene from this episode that you will enjoy.

As this was one of the few shoujo series airing in the 08 winter schedule, I was immedealy drawn to the story of this show, as it features a female lead here two male companions traveling to different worlds. The sliver haired bishounen that accompanies Rahzel is named Alzeid, and the brown haired bishounen is named Baroqueheat.

This anime from the beginning of this episode is Rahzel’s story of the adventures that she has, when he father kicks her out of her house. Rahzel soon meets up with Alzeid, and the pair take the job of a ghost exorcism, as the target is Miss Norma. Miss Norma has wanted 20 years to meet up with her lover, as when she eloped with her lover, she hit her head and died.

I thought that this episode ended in a non-stereotypical fashion, with Miss Norma passing into heaven. I thought that the relationship and humour between Rahzel and Alzeid was interesting, and the interaction between the main three leads was interesting to watch, during the course of this episode.

I thought the ending of this episode was good as Rahzel, Alzeid and Baroqueheat just make one promise between the three, that tomorrow, and that days after that, that they will have a fun time together.

As this anime IMO doesn’t have the greatest colour scheme, the show mangers to be quite interesting. I thought that the opening and closing themes were pretty good, and I’m interested in Rahzel’s teddy bear, that has a blind fold on it. As this anime will feature mainly new characters and story’s every week, the enjoyment of this show will be depended upon how interesting the characters and story is played out in each new episode.
