| I guess this is pretty much a comedy anime with persona 4 characters. |
| Hum... they changed the opening. It was a really funny episode, I forgive them for ''rushing''. Yu really has a Sister Complex. |
| I see, so it's going to be that type of anime (for the most part is seems). Well, can't say I'm complaining, it's been a while since I laughed that much. |
| Hilarious episode. Really hope it'll stay hilarious like this too. Though just as last week, the parts with Marie makes me cringe, and i kinda feel like puking. She was already horrible in the game, and then she's even worse here, since she's voiced by that horrible Hanazawa Kana. Can't she just go burn in hell so we can enjoy this series much more? Well, Narukami being hilarious like this kinda makes up for those horrible scenes with Marie, but still, it could have been so much more enjoyable without her. And I'm kinda worried since they probably won't be able to keep all episodes hilarious like this either, and then the episodes will really be ruined if they have any scenes with her :( Great OP though, and good ED song (even if the animation was awful). |
 |
| seems like they're completely skipping the murders? Well, it would be interesting if in the end it'd turn out that Yu took care of that right from the beginning, though SOMETHING has to happen, they know about the TV after all? This episode was pretty funny and apparently they want to do something similar next episode; I suppose this is fun in it's own way, still waiting for some action though. |
 |
| I dropped this anime at episode 2, its effing horrible, dropped before it makes me hate the original cast from the games. |
 |
| Love Hanazawa Kana voice in this series, she can suit the character <3 Both OP and ED is good, eventhough OP1 from P4G is better i think what's the matter with Yu? he's character is really funny, just like Yosuke, it's really different than in P4G, and his character really made this series become comedy, once again, he really is funny, i can't stop laughing watching this series makes me want to play the game, it's interesting.. next episode we will see Rise? and Beach Scene? Nice!!! can't wait~~~ |

| Judging from the opening, I'm pretty sure they expected you to watch the 1st anime before this one. |
Zetsubo667 said: ^^^^ This new opening proves this is definitely a NG+, if you look at Yu near the end of it, you can see the maxed out parameters in the background. ... I'm having a feeling they're not going to do Adachi's SL, I hope I'm wrong about this. If they do reference his S-Link, I suspect it'll be near the middle to end of the run. Part of me almost wonders if the murders are even happening at all... I guess there must be kidnappings since they kind of side-reference the TV world (plus they're all friends) but... Kanji mentions recovering from being "sick?" Speaking of Kanji, I really like much this adaptation is respecting his character. In P4A, he seemed liked such a joke. Now he's got the right amount of moe cool. Best Yu moment: distracted from his mission by cats. Do not fight me on this. |
 |
| In any case, I expected what I got and much more from this episode. It made me remember the awful regimenting that I had to do in Persona 3 where I had to have the perfect schedule to satisfy everyone. This might just be me, but I think they're setting up Marie to take up Yuu's spot as the main protagonist. At least, that's what I got when she was interacting with the girls. She's more like the Yuu from the original adaptations. Mod Edit: Removed unnecessary remark. |

| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Marie's way of praising stuff! The two *perfect* plans xD All those changes to Yu's plan. The chat with Nanako made it seem like he is going into a full-out war! |

dutchah said: I wasn't expecting them to show the entirety of Yukiko and Kanji's dungeons but this is completely ridiculous. At this rate, it's probably going to end up a 4-5 on my list. If you're going to cut out so much content, why not just focus on adapting the content from Golden? ... They are focusing on that. The first episode established Marie's introduction and the New Game + scenario. The second episode focused on some of Marie's Social Link events and the Up Close and Personal Plan |
| It's really fast... lol~ Green and Red. Nampa?? lol~ Such a fun ep., and ED is nice. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Oh man! They got both the shopping spree and phone numbers contest in this episode! So I guess this adaptation will only cover the Marie/Extra moments only, which is find by me. Really rather they do that then rush a remake in 12 episodes. So I'm gonna guess they're going to leave around a episode for , 2 episodes for and maybe a episode for I really hope they do valentine day. Would love to see Overall, the pacing is about what I expect being only 12 episodes, but with this not being a complete remake and only mostly covering the new scenes, I'm completely fine with that. |

| Yuu caused me to almost laugh out a lung! I would love to see him in shorts and gag glasses!! I'm still not feeling Marie. They better get her into a social skills class quickly, or else she's going to get a beat down by someone that doesn't understand her. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I haven't enjoyed a good episode of anime like this in a long time. It was "perfect". If I were Yuu, I would have played it off and said "I only left so Marie can get more comfortable around others and become friendlier with you girls". Those background characters Yuu hit on seemed quite interesting on their own. I wouldn't mind seeing of them again...minus for the okama. That fat chick...where does all that confidence come from...her fat reserves? She must be using a concave mirror. The whole time, right when she decided to sit, I was screaming "nooooooooooo!!!!!!". I really felt Yosuke's pain, probably because it really hit close to home. How is this girl popular with some of the people around town that are her admirers!? That bitch, I hope she ends up alone and miserable for life. I wouldn't be surprised if the woman Yosuke hit on gave him a fake number. |
| Oh, they're not even bothering with the main story at all now. Okay. The episode got better as it went on, but the animation took a very sharp dive in quality. The 2011 show was at least good about close-up shots. In this one, those can go either way... It's nice to see the Golden extra bits animated, but the hilariously bad way they're handling the actual plot is kinda distracting from that. This clearly isn't meant to be a serious adaptation of the game, but it does lose it some points. |
 |
| I kinda hoped that this would be an improved adaption upon the original, but I guess it's just covering Golden bits whilst skimming through the main content. Only 12 episodes too. At least I played Golden before watching either anime. Also, it's interesting how they're handling Yu, with him planning out his whole schedule in a hilarious way which highlights the importance of time planning in the actual game. |
| Holy pacing! Yeah guess they aren't focusing on the main plot at all. Episode 1 - Yu get's his persona & meets Teddy Episode 2 - Kanji appears, Okina city, scooter scene. Episode 3 - |
 |
| This episode was too much lol Perfect plan my foot. Poor Yu he tried and tried but he should've realized nothing ever goes according to plan ^_^ Pheromone = Fillet Mignon...Oh Kanji, you and your misunderstandings. Yu isn't picky about who he asks out is he? Even going so far as a old lady and a cat no less ^^ "Draw!!!" xD I'm sorry Chie, but if I was the judge the first two rounds wouldn't have ended in your favor. Poor Yosuke. I bet this is what Yu was thinking in the back of his mind when he saw Yosuke's bike get trashed xD  Next episode is going to be even better than this one. Can't wait! |
| I'm actually loving this. I loved Marie when I was playing but when I came to know that her Japanese VA was HanaKana, that made me love her even more. I think they are just gonna animate all the filler scenes and maybe include a few battles here and there. Either way, I am enjoying this a lot! Nice to see Yu getting all badass dialogues here unlike in the previous series. |
 |
| Ew, they're really not gonna show any actual story at all? No wonder this anime's so short. I was expecting it super condensed, not totally fucking deleted. Ugh, I really loved seeing the shadow selves too. Marie is so horrible too. She's literally the worst tsundere archetype in existence. If it weren't for getting to see Kanji do dumb shit like ride on mummy bikes and buy bags of wool then I doubt I'd even be bothering. Destroy Marie 2k14. |
| Looks like they are not wasting any time introducing the characters, they just assume you already know their stories and want to focus on Golden stuff. Its kinda weird hearing their voices in Japanese now, considering I played p4g in english.. Still pretty funny, the humor in P4GA is done surprisingly well so far. Especially that bike scene. Mostly verbatim stuff from P4G, but I love how they made that schedule conflict thing too, and also when they were getting rejected by all those girls XD For some reason I get a lot of enjoyment out of seeing something from the game exactly reproduced in this anime haha. Well Straggy, I agree in that Marie wasn't the greatest character from the game. I still enjoyed some of her social link days though..I actually thought it was cute to see her denying those poems though and seeing her get all flustered, I remember enjoying that in the game.. |

| lol this episode was hilarious~ Marie's personality is really cute~ people who havent seen the first anime are prob gonna be really confused i feel like this is gonna turn out to be a whole series of episodes of what happened in between the main dungeon events that happened in the first anime series but anyways, really enjoying the series xD |

| Stiff and pointless, MC has no emotions whatsoever, the worse anime episode i've ever watched(Probably). |

| I thought the first half of new OP look somewhat familiar,turn out they just took it right from the game's cover. |
| This is 100% fanservice for people who are familiar with the series and I'm loving 100% of it. But yeah, it also means that new viewers will have no idea what's going on, and won't be able to enjoy it. Also, for people complaining that all of the actual story is cut out: why would they bother re-animating the exact same scenes? Just watch the other anime or play the games. |

| If your looking for an faithful adaption, look somewhere else. |
 |
| Poor Yosuke.. even though you are in despair, it has amused your audience. |
| Can such a dream truely exist? |
| As an ignorant who never played the game, this adaptation has been a lot more enjoyable than the first. |

No, no, those awful poems are the worst part. It's like they were having a competition to see if they could create the worst tsundere they possibly could. |
shadowtsunami said: They are really messing up the pace in P4GA. If you didn't play the game or watched the original series, you wouldn't have a clue of how Kanji entered the story. This series is just fanservice for those who've played the game/watched the original series. |
| I had to take a pause to figure out where we were in the story. Seems a lot more like a gift to fans than a show for people who are otherwise new to the Persona 4 story. |
| good episode nice chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai reference |
| Damn that's a huge skip.... then again I suppose it would be lame if this anime is just a remake of the other one.... Oh well, at least I've played the PS2 game. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Wow, this time around it has a lot more humor.. And I'm loving it! Yu forever!! |
| Ohhh Yuu. I thought you were such a badass troll in the first P4 anime. Your bad-ass-ness has multiplied by 10 in this one LOL. And OMG I had the most HILARIOUS reaction when I realized they were combining the shopping and motorcycle trip in the same day. Probably the same reaction as Yuu XD "ohSNAPohSNAPohSNAP" ROFL!!! Ahhhh and Yosuke's huge OTL moment was so much more awesome animated that I couldn't stop laughing. I love the "new" ending. So beautiful....hope I can find it subbed/translated somewhere eventually.. The OP on the other hand.....I wish they had put a little more effort in changing it up... Well I'm going to have to 'officially' put the rest on hold from here on since I'm not this far in the game yet :( |

| This adaption is absolutely hilarious! I'm actually loving how this is completely light-hearted and how they skipped all the "serious" stuff. It's great for any Persona 4 fan. Also I'm in love with the opening video this episode. So goddamn beautiful! |
| new OP and ED. I was laughing almost the whole time on this episode. I feel sorry for Yosuke's bike. The ED fits Marie perfectly. |
 |
| Yosuke's bike took a critical hit, poor guy. |
Zetsubo667 said: I'm having a feeling they're not going to do Adachi's SL, I hope I'm wrong about this. Pretty sure they're going to but most of them are not very substantial until after level 6 in the game. I wouldn't doubt if they just devote one or two episodes to that. Also, I feel like they'll be dedicating two or three episodes to the ending, with the new bad ending and the new True ending (along with the winter sequence). That being said, I can see this turning a lot more serious mid-to-late in the series. |
| Dat OP and ED, is that where all the visual budget went? xD Putting that aside, this is pretty much a hilarious episode. Unfortunately, I needed to hold myself because I was watching this at a public place. Oh god, Yu'us choices are absolutely funny ;3 Gotta love this adaptation over the original. |
