Line 43:
** Yu is the bigger example. He may be irreverent and a little [[Cloudcuckoolander|cuckoo]], but he really loves Nanako, taking up the mantle of her older brother with ease and frequently having her around when he's hanging out with friends. The depth of feeling between the two is especially evident in episode 22.
** Naoto is a subversion, {{spoiler|because she is a girl}}. The first time we see Naoto's true colors is when Nanako is upset about her "case," dressed up in her Detective Loveline costume. Naoto picks up Nanako's abandoned magnifying glass, hands it back to her and encourages her not to give up by telling her that a detective should see the case through until it's over. When they visit the Amagi Inn and most of the others want to stay up in the baths, Naoto goes to sleep with Nanako, and the two share a bed.
* [[Big Damn Movie]]: With ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.
* [[Bokukko]]: {{spoiler|Naoto}}.
* [[Book Ends]]: The first thing Yu kills is one of the shadows attacking the group in Episode 1 - he does so by plunging Izanagi's sword through the shadow's head. In the final (25th) episode - in the fight against {{spoiler|Adachi and his Persona Magatsu Izanagi}}? Yu's Izanagi plunges his sword straight through {{spoiler|Magatsu Izanagi}}'s head. The scenes even look exactly the same.
Line 124:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: It continues the trend.
{{quote|''Bonds of people is the true power.''}}
** Look no further than the opening and ending songs! The opening especially has caused a lot of [[
** One of Shadow Kanji's flunkies speaks nothing but Engrish.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Like in the game, the Shadows do this to their hosts, but Shadow Mitsuo gives a very bone-chilling one to Yu {{spoiler|inside the [[Lotus Eater Machine]]}}:
Line 154:
* [[Idol Singer]]: Risette.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]:
** In episode 9, Yukiko calls Chie's Persona a "Chie pet." As if that single pun wasn't enough for her, she then goes off on a short tangent about
** Episode 15 has one that gets [[Lost in Translation]]. Teddie and Yukiko laugh at a pun on Kanji's name, "ii kanji," which means "good feeling/s." The subbers settle for using the pun that was used in the game, "Great Kanjecture." For bonus points, the latter isn't just
* [[Innocent Swearing]]: In episode 20, Nanako happily announces to the group that {{spoiler|Margaret}}, the fortune teller at the cultural festival, told her that Yu was a "gigolo."
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Kuma's response to how the main villain rationalizes his actions.
Line 194:
* [[Not Drawn to Scale]]: Teddie and Naoto get this the worst. Walking out of the Textile Shop in episode 6, Naoto is just taller than Yu's shoulder in one shot and barely shorter than his shoulder height in the next. When Naoto and Kanji are talking outside, in one shot the top of his head reaches just below Kanji's chest. In a few seconds, Naoto only seems to reach Kanji's ''waist''. Later on in the episode, he is shown as up to Kanji's shoulder. Episode 21 has Naoto looking slightly taller than, slightly shorter than and the same height as Adachi.
* [[No Theme Tune]]: Episodes 23 and 24 open with just the title cards, no theme song. Epsiode 25 also forgoes the theme tune, instead showing the title card just as {{spoiler|Adachi is presumed to have shot Yu in the head}}.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: In an effort to condense a 90+ hour game into 26 half-hour episodes, the anime seems to be showing no class time and cutting out the vast majority of the dungeon
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The name of the penultimate episode - "The World is Full of Shit."
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Igor's role is severely reduced because his voice actor passed away and they're only using his archived dialogue from the game.
