Whew… took me some time to get this one out x__x;;;

So they didn�t show us the epilogue of Yumi Tasaka�s story featured in the previous episode. Instead, we see more of the paranormal side of Naginomori High, which predictably turns out to be Persona-related. Are we left to assume that Yumi has recovered from being the suicidal feather-attracted self she was in the last episode, or will that mysterious feather girl come back to haunt her later and continue her plans? Whatever that is. No complaints as of the moment, so long as the series delve into this later, these disjointed episodes will be forgivable.

Not much plot-wise developments happen in this episode, though it allowed us to see a glimpse of Jun�s Persona abilities, aside from his strong sixth sense and mind-reading abilities, people and their personas alike.

I managed to catch up with Persona this week, and wow, I�m hooked! This show has now escalated as one of my fave Winter offerings, side by side True Tears, both of which are instrumental to thawing my Winter�s block.

True Tears is shaping up to become one of the best dramas I�ve seen, with its godly animation, and great execution. It’s True Tears-rific. It�s like my forsaken dramas of the past, done right. The stereotype characters I supposedly hate are still there, the weak indecisive characters, but now I’m able to empathize with them. I don�t know if I owe that to the show itself, the presence of moe Noe, who makes the show less emo and more fun and whimsical, and the H&C-esque monologues, or is it because of my own maturity… hmm~ Nevertheless, I have become an avid Noe x Shin supporter after watching episode 8! I am so gonna cry if they won�t end up together ;___;

Both Persona and True Tears grew to become shows close to my heart now, cheesy as that might sound. Both these shows leave me hanging at the edge of my seat after the end of each episode, and make me emo. My Persona-l emoness is of the positive happy sentimental light, whilst True Tears is of the bittersweet heart-wrenching kind. In terms of Ai and Hiromi�s circumstances, that is, because Noe and Shinichirou�s development make me all giddy happy (and I hope it stays that way >_<)

I�ll delve more on Persona in this post, and save up my thoughts on True Tears in another post, if my True Tears-rific mode still hasn�t gone down by then. Many fanboys have already been praising this show, so I�m also thinking if I�ll be able to contribute something worthy o_o I feel like shipping Shin x Noe, but I was a bit saddened by the spoilers… *rids herself of evil thoughts* Hope I’ll be able to blog both these shows from now on =)

I feel a little more inclined to blog Persona, considering the lack of love its getting from bloggers, and my �innate ability� to fangirl over the show
