I don't know, seems like she and her character is the reason you actually shouldn't watch.

Impressive how they’re thinking outside the box in milking Persona 4 even more. I mean, I love SMT and Persona, but still, it's peculiar how they chose remaking the anime over releasing an ova.

If this will be like P4 but with less cheesy lines, it will be awesome.

Oh crap, A-1 is going to make it. It's so going to suck...

Nothing, Persona is the retarded little brother of the MegaTen family.

Honestly, why bother remaking a P4 anime just to add Marie. Was the previous 2-cour P4 anime not good enough with its gravitation pull of swag or something? These are efforts and resources wasted on P4 milking that could have been utilized towards innovations and developments in the next era of animation.

Thanks I'll summon my Izanag-HURR DURR.

So yet again the company that is exploiting all these properties and licences of late in Aniplex gets off Scot free while the company that makes the games that fans enjoyed so much in the first place gets buried and the franchise itself now as well. Of course if Aniplex had enlisted their darlings in Shaft in this instead of A-1 MAL would be all over this new adaptation, but then the trailer wouldn't look as nice if we even had one at all yet.

I'm happy to hear this because I'm currently playing the game and I love it.
But what's the point of making this if it had already been adapted before?
At least it kinda have better animation this time based on the PV

This is honestly really fucking stupid imo. It's technically a reboot of the damn game/anime just with a new character and the new scenes from the new game. This is not necessary considering the anime JUST aired over a year ago.

Such stupid milking of the franchise. No better than DBZ Kai at this point, as much as I love the persona series and p4 in general. It's just a waste of money.

Atlus should've put the money towards P5 dev or even making the P3 movies even better instead of throwing more money at P4.

You don't think all the P4 stuff is helping to bring in the money that does develop those things?

P5 is already nearly completed by the time this new anime finishes. P3 can easily sell and rely on itself. Atlus is just milking P4 for all its worth for an easy cash grab. They'd probably make more money if they ported P4G to other consoles instead.

As much as I love the game this really wasn't needed, like, at all :/

If it's another cash-grab they want why not adapt P4A instead?

Nah see, that actually -was- necessary, especially given the English dub(s) for Z

Well this is something. The animation looks better than the original and I'm all for more Kana Hana in one my favorite series but I might be a tad bitter considering P3 just has 2 movies while P4 has a 25 ep series, 1 movie, and a special.
I'm really wondering what's the point but I'll be watching it anyway.

This'll be awesome! Hope they don't botch some of the social links this time! But to be honest, with even more content added, they'll probably abridge the links even more :(

I don't know how they will be able to pull this off without remaking the whole series.

-They have an insert Marie in the plot lines along with her social links and her social links involves many of the main casts. Her freaking poems might not be in the series.

-There is also that mini concert the investigation group had which would be fun to see animated.

-We will get Adachi Jester Social link which would be nice to see

-There is skii trip event but I don't know what kind of route the anime will take because there are choices. Even the Valentines event.

-And the last would be the Marie dungeon would ties everything about the whole plot.

I wonder if I missed anything particular about the Golden version.

I watched about 7 or 8 episodes and then I dropped it. It feels like an episodic series and it very repetitive. You have people who get sucked by the TV in every episode, and then they fight a monster and save the victim and thats it. Sound like dumb and very repetitive to me without any real story. Not to mention that the characters are annoying.

That's the reason why P4GA is released

Man, does Persona 4 need any more attention? Two television shows, two fighting games, an upcoming rhythm-based game. This is getting repetitive. Call of Duty is telling you to do something fresh.

Eh the only thing I can think of is Why?

Persona 4 had great combat and all but compared to the story and characters from P3 it left much to be desired. I don't see the point in remaking an anime that wasn't that good, from a game that had an okay story. I would be all for this if it where a Persona 3 + FES adaptation. I'll probably skip this one, I'll wait for Persona 5!

Seriously? P4 the animation was shit and now they do this but with the same director so no doubt this will be shitty. I don't see the need for creating a full TV series for a spin off that basically has the same shit only with some add-ons. I'm a huge fan of the Persona series especially P4 but this news really just irks me. Instead on focusing on the faster release of P5, no, they milk their cash cow in every way possible. Really, this is very unnecessary.

As much as I love P4, I think to myself, do they really need another anime. I mean can't you just do a ova or movie and showcase marie. My only guess to why they even doing another anime is because P4 marketing/popularity.

Eh... A remake. :-( I had always hoped to see some Persona 4 Golden scenes animated, but still, this is an entire series of almost the same story! An OVA would've been better for this, in my opinion.

Don't care that Persona 4 is being milked even more, I'm still really happy for this.
The PV shows off some beautiful animation, so I hope that's consistent the entire way through.
I wonder how different it's going to be from the original adaption! Should be great fun to watch.
