Dusk Maiden of Amnesia #07 — Persona
May 20th, 2012
If only this took place in a strip club. Or maybe a bath house.
Impressions:
Well, they finally reveal what the deal with the other ghost is. Unfortunately, they do it by one gigantic stream of exposition from Kirie. She’s the forgotten part of Yuuko’s past and memories along with all her hatred and whatnot. They could’ve at least eased into that as Yuuko was getting increasingly more possessive, clingy, and jealous through the start of the episode, but they jumped straight right from slapping away clumsy idiots trying to feed him to infodumping about the whole bloody thing. Yeah, yeah. The evil side. I get it. You did not need to spend a quarter of the episode explaining that shadows are eeeeeeeeevil.
The ending was a little better handled, particularly with the blurring between the two right before she attacked Teiichi, but I think that would’ve been a much better cliffhanger for the episode than skipping ahead to him all fixed up but her having forgotten him. It could’ve also had a bit more impact if they had some kind of connecting moment in the episode instead of her just going through her usual superficial teasing while he squirms uncomfortably. Also, it’s a little strange for him to just casually wander back to someone who just nearly killed him, but I guess that’s par for the course with the brain-challenge male anime protagonist.

It’s a pity you don’t make AKB posts, I would like to read them.
But I can understand that you don’t want to watch it, it’s even less interesting than Guilty Crown.
