The story and characters have to be summarized for a project of this nature, so there is a sense that a lot of the minor characters are sort of shoved into the narrative. This is a bit sad considering that the Persona4: the Animation and Persona5 (from what I've seen), plays heavily on the idea of forming relationships with characters.
The animation seems to get a little spotty at points, but that is more the exception to rule. The music is catchy and I can see why the original game got a lot of praise for the soundtrack. Overall, this show has a decent story with decent pacing, though I am not a fan of cliffhangers that force me to watch the specials to get a satisfactory ending. I'm looking at you too, DVD release of Persona4: the Animation...
I would recommend this series to either a fan or a novice who wants a summary of the game rather than playing. It also works as a very long advertisement for the game, and perhaps I will edit my review once I play the game.
Until then, I hope you enjoy.
P.S. I finished my first run through of the game and am half way through a second run through. Of course the source material is far more detailed and comprehensive than an anime forced to condense 140 hours of gameplay to a 12 hour show. I stand by my anime review, but the game I bump up +1 to everything (except Sound) for an overall of 8. If you can play the game.
Hope you enjoy both.
