That song was okay I guess? For a short performance, I wasn't impressed by it much.

The gimmicks of this episode made me face palm a few time. I noticed a bit of gender bender disguise. Lol.

Nice ep. Glad they kept the concert stuff in. Wow I didn't know know that idol girl was tied to P4: Dancing All Night game. (The more you know :P) Also really happy they kept that stage diving part in. Yosuke's line about them being good at dodging still cracks me up. Finally they given some hints of Yu spending time with Adachi. Looks like Marie sees something off about him also. I can't wait for the next episode!

Kou crossdressing was funny too see. They changed it up a bit from the game, but I still enjoyed it. Marie was pretty badass this episode.

Next episode has more adachi. "Who wants to talk about murders? :D"

Better episode than last week as this wasn't as focused on Marie as much. Rise being tsundere as well? Now that's a first. They changed a few things with the concert and got to hear Kana Hanazawa's singing voice in the process so that's a bonus.

Next week though is going to be the best episode so far...FINALLY SOME FOCUS ON CABBAGE DETECTIVE ADACHI!!!!!!

Kou crossdressing was epic. At this rate, he'll do anything Chie tells him to do now! XD

Overall, a very good episode. It does look like Adachi will be the main focus next time which is good to see. =D

Don't tell anyone that I said this, buuuuuut.

It was a nice episode, the lyrics are diferent from the game, I guess then that they could use a diferent music, but that's okay, Teddy cracked at the end with the bell.

And that stage diving.
Next episode is going to be interesting.

Ah the band! By far one of the best parts from Golden.

Man that was a little nice reference with Marie being able to only play the Velvet Room song.

Wish they animated the part where Yukiko got surprised when a sound finally came out of her sax.

Only referenced Adachi's social link this episode.... meh, I'll take that seeing as what the next episode is hinting at.

And there's our sports friend! Of course ball lover is the one running around as Rise. Like the little reference to his crush on Chie.

Of course they got KanaHana to sing part of the song. You don't get her to voice a character and NOT sing something!

Overall, wasn't bad. Could have been funnier at some part and cut out some other parts
but they got in the failed crowed surf so I'm satisfied.

Oh man next episode. My Adachi cannot possibly be this crazy?!

EDIT: Oh wow forgot to mention P4 Dancing all Night got a reference. That art of Kanami is a key visual for the game!

October and with that detective girl (forgot if she appeared since last ep. or not).

Introducing another idol while talking about recruiting temporary band members. So that new girl learned guitar before. Her fingers got scratched by wanting to make memory by doing well.

Fans blocking her just because the rumor about the revival. Saving her, but she didn't come on time, so new girl went instead until idol girl arrives. lol @ OnoD's character pretending to be her to get fans away. She sensed the enemy??

To the main story, probably, next?

Naoto!!!! 5 Episodes in is too long a wait for a real appearance of her with the gang (with the pace they're already going at).

Dat eyecatch...Naoto in her cat costume. Oh, my.

Those guys in front of Rise's house...they're pretty much the definition of what crazy fanatics are like IRL.

Ichijo Kou was really "cool" with cross-dressing as Rise. Him and Daisuke are real bros.

I was wonderering how "close" they were going to make Adachi and Yu, compared to the game...but judging from that preview, looks like shit's going to hit the fan.

Alright episode but I was a bit disappointed (perhaps my hypemeter was too high). "True Story" is one of my favorite songs from the game but I feel like it got a little short-changed here even though the setup to it was great (especially with Marie starting it). I thought that it could have gone on a bit longer. Well, thank god that Naoto has arrived at least. Anyway, seems like shit is gonna get real next episode.

Chie has skills! First she blows air, next she plays notes with an impossible fingering, then she performs her part without even being there.

Naw, I pick, 'cause the music bit was almost accurate (and Chie and Yukiko's inability to even make sounds had me cracking up. Actually, Yukiko was pretty hysterical -- not a compliment I can give often.). Went on for at least five too many minutes, though.

Needed more Adachi! (Guess we're skipping to December?) Sudden shift into angst. Wish we could have seen Adachi and he 'hanging out', but at least there was acknowledgement, and I like Adachi's characterization here.

Awaiting next.

I was reading Nico Nico Douga and Japanese blog comments about this week's episode, and a lot of people disliked the fact that Marie sang most of the song, and not Rise. They felt that this was supposed to be Rise's time to shine because the event had originally been for Kanamin. I did enjoy the concert, but I do agree with them in that sense.

Then why are you still here? You must have noticed the anime pretty much focuses on her and Yu since they are showing all the new scenes from the Persona 4 Golden game. If you don't like her then watch something else because she isn't going away.

In terms of comedy, this Golden is really competent, but Marie is such a cancerously shitty character that it nulls any sort of praise I could give it. If you cut out any scenes she wasn't in, you'd get 5 to 8 minutes of material deserving of a couple of chuckles. We have to suffer to get to the gags.

I'm glad I didn't bother replaying the game on Vita since my completionist side of me would have forced me to put up with her character at least two or three times, and I'm having a hard enough time with 20 minute doses weekly. Even if you ignore her awful personality, her chemistry with the cast is so stilted and one-tracked. It's going to take a hell of a lot more than MUH MEMORIES and her constant possession of the limelight to put up with her bad poetry, her "I can't believe it's not fanfic OC" tsunderisms, and Kana Hanazawa. Literally engineered to be the worst of the worst girls.

Next week seems to be taking a detour from The Marie Sue Show, and will probably be the last one I buckle down for since I honestly don't see it getting any better from there on out.

Yep. A lot of them want more Cabbage-Man. Let's be honest, P4GA is really Marie Social Link the Animation. As Marie SL the Anime, I do enjoy the series and the interaction between Yu and Marie. (I'm still expecting disappointment and that Yu and Marie won't be canon but whatever. SHIPS DON'T NEED CANONS. D;)

But as P4GA, it's lackluster and missing so much Adachi content that the game offered.

^This

I love Marie a lot and I'd really like to see her end up with Yu, but gah. It's so annoying that they for some reason decided to completely skip Adachi's social link. Why, I wonder? I mean, his social link is pretty interesting and I think he's quite popular on top of that (he appears as a DLC character in P4U2 for example). Seiji Kishi/The script writers must have noticed that? Or maybe not

EDIT; oh yeah they didn't skip his social link after all

Why did Marie have that reaction towards Adachi at the end? I know it couldn't happen in the game since this show presumes you already know the spoilers, but I don't remember anything implying that Marie would know anything about what Adachi did.

I think she started to absorb the fog at that moment. The fog flowing to Inaba is partly Adachi's fault.

Poor Yosuke. his band puts on killer performance with Narukami ending it with finese while he was forced to bend over on all fours with his butt shoved up. For someon who claims he's after chicks, Yosuke seems to have a habit of showing off his ass.

Marie-chan's reaction at the beginning of the video was great! Most of her reactions when her poems' are read are hilarious but this one stood out especially! "It's.Just.A.Memo."

I also didn't expect her to be so good with a guitar! She definitely has hidden talents.
For example, I didn't expect her to be able to sing as well! It was awesome seeing her take over during the concert.

A little embarrassing for the boys that no one wanted to let them crowd surf! At least Yu looked super cool when he landed. Can't say the same for Yosuke or Kanji...
