Synopsis

Spring. Far from the city, time flows peacefully in this rural town. As the cherry blossoms scatter in the wind, a young man named Yu Narukami steps off the train at Yasoinaba Station. Yu has come to this town, where his uncle lives, for family reasons; he will be transferring into the local high school, Yasogami High. And so begins his school life... The shopping mall after school. A series of murders taking place in town. The Midnight Channel, airing late at night.... What lies in store for Yu and his friends ‘this time around?

I'll say this upfront. I don't believe you should watch Persona 4 the Golden Animation as a stand-alone show. I recommend the anime version released prior in 2011 if you want the show to adapt the entirety of the game.

With that out of the way, I do recommend this show if you've seen the original version or have played the game. The show itself is mainly focused on the character Marie, who plays an important role.

When I saw how Golden in comparison to the Original, its score was almost 1 mark lower than the former. I did not think it will be bad until I watched it and...yeah it was poorly done. Despite that fact, there were very few moments when I had fun one being the ...
