| Yay for true ending. Boo for five months until true ending. |
 |
Never more. My tears will never stop. Anime reached its final episode, huh? I'm really gonna miss the derp faces... |
| Okkkkk, so I finally GOT to watch it instead of just finding screens. So, yeah. Pfffff, they decided that the canon couple is Yuu X Yosuke. Like, seriously. Last fight was epic; new song by the way. What I liked the best was the preview of the last episode though, it seems like it may be a bit long. Spoilers not regarding THIS episode: |

| Is it even possible to have sexual intercourse with this episode? Susano, Kanzeon, laughing at Kanzeon actually "fighting", Nevermore playing, Lucifer, Team actually not looking useless, no final cannon shippings during the ending scene and finally some good pacing. All in all for the anime, I'd say 8/10 - as a gameplayer enjoyed everything about this besides the pacing and some of it's art. In the ending, I wish some of Narukami's social link people appeared, would have loved to see Ai, Kou, Daisuke, etc to see him off aswell, but this was good. 5/5 episode. I kind of liked Narukami holding the glasses instead of the photo in the game better... And now, all there's left is that true ending which looks to be awesome, can't wait.. August is gonna be awesome...P4Arena and P4A true ending. |

| No OP. The enemy is convincing that the real life is not needed. Everyone's in pain. So when persona is in pain, the holder is affected? Everyone's holding up to fight against the enemy, who is escaping from the reality and he became police to use the gun. Reality sucks, but we must face it... When he lost, he shot himself and became shadow of eyeball. It is the source of bringing the mist to real world. The vision is created when they wanted to see? Their persona became strong?/power up because they want to save the guy. All of his cards combined into a new personal?! Oni-looking persona defeated it. Then they bring the enemy back. Cousin girl "dreaming" about the guy and his friends defeating bad guy and saving everyone. Spring and everyone sending the guy away. lol~ cousin girl just confessed that she's going to marry him in the future! Kuma promising he's going to protect that another world. Never More is nice ED. Velvet room for the one last time. I cannot wait for another ED (True ED): "No One Is Alone" |

| I think there'll be a topic for our views about the series as a whole but I think I'll just post here anyway: I definitely have mixed feelings about P4 the Animation. On one hand, the original material suffered only minor changes, so the content itself is rather intact. On the other hand, it certainly had problems as an adaptation. Fast-forwarding, some episodes were badly directed, to name a few. Animation was poor most of the time, and while I don't care that much about it, in here it managed to bother me. Music usage was a bit crazy; sometimes, it was spot on but many times it was just stupid. Have I already mentioned how Yosuke "sux" in this? Sorry, I just can't get over it. But there were definitely positive aspects, such as Nanako's/Namatame's Arc, which was by far the best thing for me in the tv series. I also loved some new songs. Also, although in the beginning Yuu was completely ridiculous, they managed to turn him into a very likeable character. My favorite characters in the adaptation were Rise and Naoto. @RealScreamer P4: U...oh god, I can't wait to play as Yosuke ♥ Gotta kick Chie's butt!!!! |

Oh yes this, this was one of my biggest dislikes about the anime. For this episode, I believe he was redeemed a little bit, but he still sucked for the entire series... Haha, poor Chie..And same here, I'm mostly going to use Mitsuru, Elizabeth and Yosuke. Perhaps Labrys aswell, which reminds me - does anyone think she or Mari could show up randomly in the true ending of P4A in August? |
|
| ^It's payback time for Chie! huhu lol I think I'll end up playing as Yosuke, Mitsuru and Elizabeth as well (Thanatos is a MUST!). Maybe Naoto since she seems to be so awesome and overpower. Marie is a possibility, but since Labrys only meets them two months after P4 I doubt it. |
| Indeed. Thanatos in it just verified me of getting the game. I'm pretty sure mostly everyone is gonna go for Elizabeth now for that reason... I haven't really looked much into Naoto's gameplay, but I assume her to be one of the decent characters to play as. Teddie just looks absolutely ridiculous, lol... Ah yes, I forgot that Labrys meets them 2months after. As for Mari, thinking about it now, she would have been made an appearance in the anime, right? Since in P4 Golden it looks as if you meet her in the beginning during school times or w/e.. Oh well. |
|
| This was based on PS 2 version of Persona 4 not PS Vita one, but the new Persona 4 would be awesome. Geh a few months to True ending. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Yay for True Ending to be animated, but well... I think that waiting 5 months will be hard :/ I enjoyed P4A even with all the derpy stuff, but of course, go play the PS2 game if you can. |
| Not bad, didnt play the game so cant compare to it. I know the game would be much better but I still enjoyed the anime. I can understand that some parts are stupid and didnt make sense. Nevertheless a nice anime to watch. Cant wait for P4U :3 And sometime when I get a Vita I will definetly play P4. |

|
| That was a decent way to handle the ending, but I can't wait for the True End episode. Shame on them using it to sell the disks though =P |
RealScreamer said: Pretty much, they already confirmed they weren't going to add an epilogue or anything like they did with FES. It's basically just Persona 4 with some extra scenes.Blackbird said: This was based on PS 2 version of Persona 4 not PS Vita one, but the new Persona 4 would be awesome.

| what i liked about it was how the handled the ameno sagiri fight. even though they completely deviated from the game, i think this was a suitable way to present things in anime form. i absolutely hated the ending, that is the most rushed ending ever. they literally jump from defeating ameno sagiri to the train station on the final day. i can only assume they left out other stuff so that they can save it for the true ending episode. which is not something im a big fan of. i was overall disappointed with this series. |

|
| although it's highly unlikely, I hope they can choose one random day and broadcast the full version of this episode like what happened with F/Z ep11. haven't seen the ep yet so can't really comment on it. |
| OVA?? I still don't understand why they can't just put the true ending in the main series itself. Anyway from the preview of the OVA, it looks like there's going to be the Margaret battle. 2 episode OVA? |
| Ok, this episode owned the last one. Hard. The thing with Persona 4 is it seems that you have to take the whole anime as a whole. When you do that, it becomes neat and understandable with a great mix of comedy and action, with a bit of suspense. Individual episodes may be bad, but I bet that if everyone re-watched the whole series in 2 months time consecutively a lot of negative opinions would change. I apologize to the writers for my comments on 24! Adachi's character this week kicked ass for the first 8 min or so, before inevitably morphing back into a bitch (but that's what SHOULD happen). The team did a good job, and Lucifer was a nice touch. Also Never More is the ultimate feel good song. 5/5 episode ?/10 series (still haven't decided, may rewatch and then wait for true ending) |
| I thought the episode was pretty great, my only qualm with the episode is the ending, I would rather have seen the group high five and have it end that way. Still a great episode can't wait till August P4 arena and the true ending come out in that month. |
| This episode was like... really, really bad. It was full of cliche shit and that last battle was lame as heck, then sudden ending. Way too rushed. 2/5 for the episode, 7/10 for the series. |
| Where did you guys see the preview for the true end? i didn't see it in the raw.. |
| Felt the episode was slightly rushed. Transition from end of battle to the MC leaving town could have had more scenes, hopefully the True End episode provides a better conclusion to the series. I didn't see the preview at the end of the episode either. I found out via animenewsnetwork: http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/news/2012-03-29/persona-4-10th-bd-dvd-to-include-true-end-episode |
| It was a good 'final' battle. Lucifer was totally the boss out there. I miss the Social links parts after the battle. I can't wait five months for the true ending. Even this episode will be a director's cut in the dvd/blueray version. And I hope to see Trumpeter in action. |
 |
| I'm still on the fence with how the series concluded + the whole final episode debacle, but did anyone else notice how great the animation was in this episode? it's like the reason the rest of the series was so badly done was so they could save the budget for the finale. adachi was pretty spot on too, a lot more haunting than the game. imo as an adaption it did pretty okay in regards to faithfulness to the source material but considering the length of the game and how much they skipped it definitely could have used an extra few episodes or at least been paced a bit better as a whole. i guess it's just a good hook to get people to buy the game? heh. 8/10 |
| Oh yeah, a really nice fight, although it was short. All in one it was a really nice anime. |
 |
| I feel like they're gonna make an ova of the true end what with them suddenly tossing in the orb at the very end. |
| AND so it ends was really bummed until they finally did all the Max social link personas bonds all at once! would had been great if yu got Izanami-no-Okami to top it all off in the end I really enjoyed this as a person who has played the games i can forgive the pacing at art kinda and i got to see most of the moments i wanted and got a good laugh out of it 8/10 Time to wait for True ending OVA? annd Persona4Golden~. |

| Oh good, for a second there I thought they totally copped out in the Izanami boss battle. Will be awaiting it for to be animated. =) |

| Can't wait for the True End. Loved this series. 9/10 |
| Not bad. 9/10 for me and for some reason, I like OP song 2 better for the 2nd half |
 |
| This series was really rushed but they only have 25 episodes so can't blame them for condensing everything. If they really need to, why can't they just make it into 2 seasons of 24 episodes each and do it properly? Anyway Ameno Sagiri sounds like Mayuri from Bleach. I still think that P3 would make a much better adaptation with its story but I guess they chose P4 to promote their 2 games, Golden and Arena. |
| Where did people watch the PV for the true end?? |
  |
| The ending totally threw me off. I didn't like it. It was too rushed. |
| I loved the ending...except for some missing tidbits here and there that were cut out due to time and money-constraints. I hope the DVD/BD releases include the real final boss battle and things they cut out, since there's still a tonne of material from the game for OVAs and specials, like Margaret as an optional boss battle, or her requests...which were required for Yuu to have the Isis persona in the final episode. |

| Well that was a good show~ Considering i have never really heard of the Persona series before this show came out, i was incredibly confused as to what was going on, but either way im glad i stuck with it~ I cant wait for the ova either~ Also, im amazed no one has mentioned Yu's...position when he was with Adachi. ....what. |
  |
| So true end out at august and just normal ending for now.. Persona evolution and king of demons out :) How can rise persona fight?? hahaha weird XD.. Anyway very good episode solid 4/5... Need to wait five months for true ending now |
| While this show had it's moments, it ultimately amounted to being nothing more than weak sauce. |

I wanna see Chie X Yu! |
 |
| I thoroughly enjoyed this series albeit I loved the plotless episodes a ton more than when it was present. Someday I will obtain a Vita and Atlus would have already released Persona 4 for it and I will enjoy playing it. Until then I guess. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Holy shit, this episode made my tits fall off... And I'm a dude. Anywho, somebody should make a GIF of Yu |
| I expected... somethin better from this animation. This ending leaves unsatisfied. Animation is slightly spoiled during the fighting, ugh. I'm looking forward to the True Ending. Cause it was totally rushed (like every episodes). I'll be glad, if they make OVA's with other pairings xd And... OH-MY-GOD! It's Yuu x Yosuke at all! This series is "masked" shounen-ai LOL. |
