| Fitting finale. I totally enjoyed every episode, no complaint from me. P4G animated with Marie as focus... well, I don't mind that. Sure, I might not like tsundere character as much as I used to, but she's tolerable as far as being tsundere goes. |

| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| I never really liked Marie in the game. This anime actually made me like her a bit for some reason. |
 |
| Never played Persona 4 Golden but did this anime make Yu x Marie canon? Or was her confession supposed to come off one-sided? Does this happen in the game regardless? Loved the epilogue where everyone surprises Yu by saying she came back shortly after disappearing. She's a god, I'm not surprised. The photos of the fun they had that summer when he visited that were shown during the credits were wonderful. Also liked how Naoto embraced being a woman. |

| Suprising to see Yuu's return, everybody changed quite a bit with Marie turning into some weatherwoman/ parttime goddess and more importantly Kanji's look turning from delinquent to salaryman. So we've reached the end of Persona 4: Marie edition featuring bits of Adachi, decent adaptation to showcase the new content but not really better than the other P4 anime despite having better visuals. |
 |
| Normie Kanji was pretty good. Never played the game and never will, but as a solfag this was good, shame fans don't get the concept of added value. |

| This whole anime was... okay I guess. Even the finale wasn't very special. I understand the reason for the changes from the game but that didn't make it "good" let alone better. From the start I thought the character artstyle of the Golden Animation was a downgrade from the original Persona 4 anime. Seriously if the anime isn't showing a keyframe 99% of the time it'll look terrible. And most of the keyframes look mediocre at best. You watch anime adaptations of games so you can just relax watching instead of playing. But this anime makes it difficult to do that because of the awful artwork. I appreciated that the Golden anime focused more on Marie instead of retelling the stories of the game because it has half the number of episodes of the last anime (and that anime felt like it could've used more episodes to fully flesh out everything). But problem with anime like this is that you have to make the viewers like the character of Marie. She wasn't really well received in the Golden port of Persona 4 on PS Vita and understandably, anime-onlies didn't appreciate her watered down version in the anime. The studio did try to make her more likable but she essentially boils down to a tsundere anime girl wearing weird outfit (seriously why couldn't she wear a more normal outfit like the other girls Atlus?). They even tried to make her seem more useful at the cost of undermining other characters... Personally I don't hate Marie but I don't really like her either. She felt like a gimmicky addition in the game too. And anime adaptations for games like this seem to be never done right because different people like the games for different reasons and the anime only tries to adapt only certain aspects of the video games. So yeah, these anime are a pretty decent watch if you've already finished playing the video games. But I would NEVER recommend these to someone who never played the Persona games. The anime adaptations are NOT an alternative to playing and experiencing the games and never will be. You can play them after watching the anime but it will downgrade your experience significantly because of the spoilers so no one should consciously do this either. (Probably would've made more sense if I said this in the first episode discussion but whatever) Watching it in conjunction with the 2011 anime doesn't make that big of difference like I previously expected. I think this anime is worth watching if you've already finished the game. The "real" Golden part of this anime is the original scene about Adachi. It gives him a little more depth than the games which almost makes him out to be an edgelord. A-1 Studio would go on to adapt Persona 5 into anime in 2018 and it somehow surpassed P4GA in terms of being utterly dogshit. I haven't seen background characters that look this bad in any other anime that wasn't animated by A-1. |

Also yes, love Naoto, the first P4 party member I dated xD |
| I wish this ended more like the game tbh adaptation was pretty bad overall |
 |
| Yes the end! And especially the time skip it always felt a bit weird to me because it's only been a few months but they changed so much, especially Kanji lmao, but Nanako's hair grew way too much for that short time xD Anyway was pretty good additional series when you played the game, otherwise it's pointless imo |

| I thought the show was terrific, 9/10. Didn't expect a lot going in but thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. What do people have against this show? It's too much about Marie? She was what makes Golden different, I don't see the problem. Great tsundere character and hot too, also with one of the best voice actresses. Really nice show.

The show was true to the golden ending in the game. Marie did confess on TV to Yu. And Naoto did become more womanly. All the grownup appearances were done perfectly. 0451 said: I didn't romance Marie in Golden so I'm not sure but in my playthrough she didn't make that on air confession iirc.

Spent too much time hanging out with Naoto instead of Marie! |

Or it did happen and I just didn't pay attention. Just catch on youtube. It was very similar in the game and anime. I forgot if you have to actually romance her or just level 10 her. I romanced all the girls, harem is the best. |

I romanced all the girls, harem is the best. According to a comment, that line doesn't happen if you don't romance Marie. Which is why I never saw it in my playthrough. Couldn't find footage of it though. I only dated Ai and Naoto in my first playthrough. Couldn't be bothered to date all of them. And the heartbreaking scenes you get when you don't accept the Valentine's Day invites from the girls are too much for me. So I'm glad I didn't do that. |
