Persona 4 the Animation (much like the game it's based on), is a story filled with peaks and valleys. When it's good (ex: the last 3-4 episodes (and the OVA), the King's Game), it's REALLY good. But when it's bad (ex: the accursed Hot Springs episode, Kanji, Rise & Naoto's dungeons), it's REALLY bad. But this is not a BAD story or a bad anime on the whole. It's just aged really, really, REALLY badly. Needless to say, I prefer P3 & P5 over P4. Certainly doesn't help that Rise's simping for Yu, Yosuke's homophobia & Teddie's sleaziness really got on my nerves quickly.
6/10 for me, but it's an 9/10 or maybe even a 10/10 at it's peaks. Too bad this show is so inconsistent...
