The episode starts with Marie’s poetry. We really need to stop reading that, baka! It’s not like it’s a poem or anything, we totally suck. Oh, new opening for episode 2 with a different song, though it keeps to the tune of the games opening it’s a lot less….dance like? Huh, compared to the game or even the first opening it’s sort of bland. The second half is a lot more interesting then the first but it still sort of falls flat.

WAIT, WAIT, NO…did we just skip an entire month? So uh, they cover one of the social links with Marie where they have her eating steak ka-bobs….and then Yosuke brings up his up close and personal plan…

THAT PLAN DOESN’T COME IN UNTIL AFTER THEY RECRUIT KANJI!

We skip a month and it comes up again, this time with Kanji….did we seriously just skip a bunch of things? I said this once, I’ll say it again. This is really not for people who haven’t played the game or at least seen the first anime.

MY GOD, they upped Yu’s dorkiness by like 50% in this anime. I can’t even handle how much of a total dork he is. So they go for their driving licenses so they can get scooters….
Then they skip to the next social link with Marie in which they plan to go shopping with her on a later date. Then, we see Yu get his license and Dojima give him his scooter bike.

Can I stop to point out how much of a total cutie Adachi is?I love him, -spoiler- or not. (Seriously, if I had to spoiler tag this, you shouldn’t be watching Golden!)

So, Chie calls and tells him that they’re going shopping with Marie on the next Wednesday. Yosuke calls and is ready to set the plan into motion. The up close and personal plan! Somehow, this ends up also being next Wednesday and Yosuke won’t listen to him when he says he’s busy.

Yu is faced with the worst problem of his life! Scheduling issues. Well, now we skip to next Wednesday in which the boys are riding to the station on their fancy motor scooters. Yu has a booked day of doom but he has it all planned out.

OH, there’s Kanji. I was wondering if him and his bike were going to show up.  Oh my god! Really!? REALLY? Three minutes to catch a hot chick? That’s amazing.
The bet, he picks up a girl in three minutes or he has to let Nanako see him in his underwear and gag glasses.
Oh man, now he’s been roped into judging a contest between the Moon arcana girl and Chie.

does he really need to put on his glasses for everything? He calls a draw between the girls and keeps hitting on everyone in the meanwhile. Marie solves the problem between the moon girl and Chie…

and Yosuke was duped by a hot girl and given the number of…well let’s just say his preciously earned motorcycle is destroyed. It was a draw in the end between the boys. The girls notice them and go over to talk to them ending the episode.

We get a Marie based ending. Nothing spoilerish, just sort of a music video. He gets home while Nanako is in the garden. He looks like death….

WAIT, WAIT, ARE THEY JUST SKIPPING TO THE BEACH EPISODE? WE’RE JUST ADDING RISE TO THE GROUP? Yeah, okay, I’m saying this again….do NOT watch this if you haven’t seen the first anime or played the game.
