Oh god. So many great episodes in this span! But I have to give my vote to episode 19 for the amazing "Miss" Yasogami pageant.

That one that was dedicated entirely to Nanako was pretty great. But I think my favorite was the school trip one. It was even funnier than the Endurance Run episode!

King's Game. It's the only answer.

I gotta say 14, because magical detective NANAKO

I should probably watch this at some point, huh?

I havent watched any of these..... 
 
And also, why do Japanese words written in english spelled in a different way compared to how theyre really pronounced?

what exactly do you mean? give an example.

Awh, man. Decision between comedy (15) and tearjerking/heartwarming (18)...

I choose comedy! King's Game indeed.

Yea, I'm confused, too. Do you mean how Persona would be said perusona? That's just how Japanese works, man.

@Video_Game_King: Wow. I've seen plenty of images but that art really looks fantastic in motion, and those scenes you posted were excellent.

I really have been missing out; I'll get to fixing that right away.

episode 15 easily , when mass destruction kicked it it was amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZoSgivgRHk&feature;=related

If you're referring to certain vowel sounds, (ex: pe ru so na,"), the "u" is often silent or de-emphasized. For example, the common male name "Yosuke" sounds more like "Yoskay" than "Yosookay," and "desu," a commonality of the Japanese language used to end sentences in a formalized manner, sounds more like "des."

But really, it's just a function of how the language works and is understood. After all, in English, we don't prnounce "knight" as "kuhnighit," unless we're referencing Monty Python.

@the_OFFICIAL_jAPanese_teaBAG:

I still don't get what you're saying. Do you want pitch marks? Other than, all I can say is "Japanese people drop and mesh syllables like crazy, and I don't know how to anticipate or understand any of it".

Its just a question I always asked when I was young. Like sake and wasurenaide. I get how thats probably the easiest way to spell if but if someone who doesnt know Japanese tried reading it, the pronounciation would be all convoluted. Wouldnt it be easier if accents were on some of the letters?

Not really. This method of romanizing Japanese was developed a long time ago and has become the standard. A person that knows Japanese but doesn't know English would bungle a lot of English pronunciations at first because they don't understand the way that the words are actually spoken by a fluent speaker.
