Wow, another well done episode. It must be tough being Adachi lol. And also, this episode didn't waste time with those two getting their Personas out.

I like how the action was coordinated this episode; almost feels like the Persona classics. Yu was awesome this episode of course.

Nice to see Adachi vs Narukami again. Looks like Marie remembers now and disappears.

Great ep. Yu and Adachi at the beginning. A little sad thought they would give me 'scene' but oh well. Glad they kept the whole Yu going out and meeting Adachi. Oh man thanks A-1 seeing both Izangi's was done great. Though boss battle against Adachi was what. I did enjoy seeing Helel being summoned Odin and the rest but I'm shock Yu was able to win with his fists since I would think Adachi would be trained to handle that. Well Marie finally remembers so its time to finally get some answers about her now.

Sh!t! Did Marie just disappear? Who is that person in the fog anyway? O.o

Now with Marie disappearing, less people will give her less crap about her being the 'star' of the show. D:< She deservers all those memories. ;_; Marie-chan did good, -tear-

I predict this will be the order of the next coming episodes:

This show is a mess, this episode is a mess, everything gets messier with every passing week.

It's cool that they're expanding Adachi's character, but they messed up just about everything else.

Poor Ameno-Sagiri...

I don't know what the complaining is about; this is the best episode yet.

Though I wish they would have shown what Adachi 'did' to Nanako when he reached out -- if anything, probably he pat her head. It was never explicitly stated (like most things Adachi) but I feel he had a soft spot for her.

Yu was OP 'cause he's OP. Did someone skip the first episode of Golden or...?

Ah Adachi... Why are you such a cool character?! I really wish the game had moments like this to flesh him out more. In the game he just felt like a crazy dude doing it for the lols...

That battle theme! Do I hear me some Lotus Juice?!

Christmas time! And swagmaster invites them all of course... Prob not going to be anything romantic knowing how the animated adaptions are but still prob will be a hoot to watch!

Lol Adachi just owned Yu in a debate so Yu just goes fuck this I'm gonna prove my point by pounding your face in!

It annoyed me that only Marie was "worried about him" and is the one who makes him "feel" better, it should've been everyone in IT not just her.

Overall this episode was good however, enjoyed more of Adachi's backstory as well as their fight again (the soundtrack played during it was awesome). Funny how Adachi put up more of a fight than Ameno-Sagiri it made me laugh how quickly he was taken out. (Especially as its the other way around in the game)

Also happy that Marie disappears afterwards as well like in the game. So next episode is going to be Christmas Dates? that's surprising as that isn't a Golden exclusive scene.

Holy crab, I played the game and I have no idea what's going on like all the time. To me it feels like this anime has a Trolling level over 9000. Trying to imagine how it's for people who have no idea about the games. Isn't it horrible to watch characters popping out of nowhere and skipping plot like no tomorrow ?

Wow... when Yuu was beating the shit out of Adachi and started whaling on him...that was so satisfying, I'm not even hungry anymore.

Adachi...who do he think he is, a princess? What a little bitch.

Wait...so Yuu lost his memories about Marie after she found hers?

Ermahgerd...I wonder if Yuu is going to ask all the girls on the 24th for that if you know what I mean. I hope they have a "good time" together no matter what the outcome. But since he asked multiple girls, I think he's going to try and do what he did during that last train wreck of an outing. Next week can't come soon enough.

So does the game not go back and follow the storyline of the original at all because this anime makes it seem like new characters aren't introduced, and the story line isn't explained properly.


......Uh no? The game still follows the plot of the original with just exclusive added Golden content along with Marie and a little EXTRA near the end.

This Anime is INTENTIONALLY not including the majority of the main MAIN plot because they already did all that in the original anime and they don't feel a point of repeating themselves for this one therefore they are just focusing on the exclusive golden content while using the context that in this anime Yuu's going through a new game plus playthrough(Which I find clever to be honest.).

I thought this was fairly obvious.

Pfft, don't even need Helel or Lucifer. Just have Yoshitsune and Hassou Tobi the shit out of everything. GG gamebreaker.

To be honest it is just this adaption. The original anime went far more in depth when concerning the story line and characters. The only thing P4GA has over P4A is art/animation.

This anime is NOT a full on adaptation of the game. I think that's pretty obvious. This anime only animates the Vita exclusive scenes and Marie/Adachi's social links, thus it skips most of the main story. This version assumes the viewer has either played the game or watched the first P4 anime.

Exactly what I thought. Ameno-Sagiri was a way harder boss than Adachi in both the game and the first anime adaptation - I had myself big problems with beating Mister Eyeball when I played Persona 4.

It was a pretty unecessary change.

Don't worry, she'll probably be back around episode 10-12.

Awesome Yu vs Adachi, really a much better version than the one in P4 Animation.
I really want to know who is Marie, I guess next week we are going to know the answer.
Adachi's past is sad, I know, but that doesn't make you a killer.

Really liked this episode, just like the last one. Got to see all the max S.Link personas for the main cast (except Marie's Kaguya, which I'm sure they are saving up for later). More Adachi back story, he was a pitiable character they captured that perfectly.

Did I just see the Playboy route for the Christmas Event next week. LOL if that's the case Valentines is going to be hilariously awkward.

Wasn't gonna watch this but when I heard they doin Adachi's backstory I immediately started and oh boy except this and the last ep everything was really shitty. Who's that Marie exactly? Nah I don't care. I played a bit PQ and gosh she's so standart tsundere it hurts my brain.

Anyway nice episode because Adachi but they rushed the battles like woah what it /ended/? especially the last one .__.

I also lost motivation to watch this series but oh well I made it this far so yeah...

No wonder Adachi is so miserable, he was always a loner yearning for some bonds (not James Bond though). Nice at long last Yuu unlocked dark mode Izanagi with help of his bud Adachi, some real bro's. NG+ Yuu really speedrun Ameno-sagiri there lol.
