nice ep... yu summon fucking lucifer to finish the job
discoball's eye... never realised its actually a camera lense from the game
rise's persona actually fight LOL...

I love the drastic mood changes in the series, from "the adventures of a bunch highschool kids in a little town" to "saving the world from a disco-eyeball god" XD

so glad the normal ending in anime are different ....It felt very unsatisfied & too sudden compared to the game
In Game normal ed & true ed are the same thing.... the difference is true ed just add little scene after credit...

damn waiting for the true ending will be painful ;_ ;

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.


I'm on the same boat as you... never played the game but it makes me intrigued & search the game as I love to see the original source (spoiled myself with the culprit before ep 24 & true ending included XD)

& that picture....I'm burst out laughing at that scene...

Yeah, the end was kinda rushed, and Im a bit dissapointed that they didnt pull the True End. Hopefully theyll release a special, where said end is treated.
Also, I didnt pay much attention to it during the game, but isnt this one one the most narcissistic plots ever? Everyone else does all the work, and then they leave it to the protagonist to deliver the final blow, because everyone loves said protag.

Truly a magnificent last episode, even better than the game's good ending. The direction was absolutely breathtaking and the animation was finally at the level we could have hoped to see for the whole show. Overall, this P4 The Animation was the best video game adaptation I have seen, extremely close to the original material (well, the Persona team did work with AIC/Aniplex on that) due to the music and dialogues being the same as the game, plus Seiji Kishi's direction was awesome, cementing him as one of the best - and most prolific - new Japanese animation directors. 8,5/10

i like adachi here more
Yuu summoning looks so badass ,i don't expect it to be lucifer.

5/5 for episode

9/10 , because i'm extremely bias even though it certainly has many problems. But seeing one of my favourite game get animated nicely is enough

Apparently ep23~24 had been edited to fit into the 24minute restriction. Kind of obvious since there are some quick cuts.

Just like f/z ep11, I won't be making the full review until I see the proper version. However I already find this final ep glorious enough.

It was looking to be a fairly average episode but when the cast banded together to save Yuu, I couldn't help but feel exicted when their upgraded personas came out to battle against that camera lens.

Persona 4's music was just awesome throughout. I seemed to love every track! For me, hearing the soundtrack with the animation was probably the highlight of the show. Ep 25 was no exception.

I was going to complain about the abrupt ending (and how Yuu leaves just like that?!) but damn, I didn't expect the awesome preview afterwards. Looks like fans will get their wish for the animated 'true end' afterall, eventhough it's months away. I'm excited to see it, I want to know why the mystery isn't solved yet and more about the velvet room!

From watching this show, I can see why Persona 4 is so popular from what I've gathered. I'm hyped up to play the video game in order to fill up time until ep 26. A cool 8/10.

What the hell, it's such a gay ending. And that's Yosuke's face seeing Yu drowned in the darkness is pretty...urgh. And the departure is far more better in the game. For you who haven't played the game, I encourage you to try it out. The ending in anime is nice, though, but you will feel more warm-hearted watching the game's ending. Idk, maybe it's because them just through the Good Ending or something...

The change of Persona is good, but lol they defeated three Reaper with only a team member consist of two Persona user. It's total ridiculous. Try it out for yerself. It'll break your sweat. And I don't say it is in the easy mode game.

All and all, I give this last episode 7/10 because of the gayish atmosphere I could sense.

waiting for the True Ending. Argh, it's still a long way to August. Can't wait. And lol at Nanako want to marry Onii-chan and Dojima's response :D

This episode was pretty awesome. I think they made Adachi far more menacing than he was in the game, so, that's certainly a plus. On the other hand, giant disco eyeball still felt silly xP


Also, about the preview for the OVA (minor game spoilers below)


Since the sales of P4A are doing great so far, anyone else hoping for an anime adaptation of a different Persona game? I would be all over 2 or 3.

Never watched any of the personas or played the games.. but i very much enjoyed this anime.. slow at times but still good.. i dont know the game story so i dont know if anyone gets together at all(romance wise)? or if what nanako said about marrying YU was just throwing in there for giggles. But i hate how he still left at the end. besides rise, did the other 2 girls like yu at all?

I rather him move over there or something so he could stay with his friends. I really wish(will never happen because it goes by the game) they had another person anime coming out and its was like 1 year later and yu comes back with everyone.

it does suck having to wait for the other ending. but hey they gotta make money some how.

No seriously, I love Yosuke as the 'best pal' of Yu. But in this last episode, I had hold the urge to skip the secene, but oh well, Susano-O pwned Ame-no-Sagiri's belly for good. So that cool.

Overall it was a fine ending to the series. The series had some rocky times, but I'd stand behind it as a pretty good adaptation (craptastic animation aside). I'm kinda bummed that the final episode will be five months...it'll feel weird watching it that many months after the series has ended.


Lol not really dude. I suppose ATLUS had a plan to release the True End after the player had end their True End in P4 The Golden. It might be the super duper Spoiler fans have ever seen then if they're new to the series.

Besides it will be a good money at that time. Afterall, 2012 is the year of Persona 4 :D

Eh Idk, but i suppose it's because Shadow Teddie also produce its own mist. So no, I think they're different to each other...CMIIW

I truly understand this. Somehow near the Good End I felt dissapointed by how they manage the action in that freakin 24 minutes. I want more Konohana-Sakuya's Agidyne!

All in all, I'm surprissed that no one talking about Yu's insight regarding to reality and illusion as long as he is there with his dear friends. It's pretty touching scene that we cannot get from the game. And I'm sure that Yukiko's cry "Narukami, help me!" is when THEY fighting the last enemy :D not going to spoil ya all more further, but it will be an exciting battle!!!

I liked this adaptation but that ending was so horrible. If only they had 26 episodes to work with or if they cut out one of those shitty Nanako fillers then they probably could have fit the true ending in. But no, we gotta wait till August for it. That's some real shit.

If you watched the last episode, Narukami remembers Ameno Sagiri and we get a short flashback when Izanagi stabs previously unknown black-like-ball-thing which was in episode 10 at 19:41. The ball was in Shadow Teddie, so it practicly confirms that at least Teddies shadow was possesed if not completely the same entity.

I'm pretty biased...this adaptation was still pretty good compared to others I've seen, the last 2 eps where hella rushed, but I still could follow them (though I think ppl who never played the game before got a WTF out of them).

Yeah but, don't you think it's a bit stupid? They didn't have enough time to animate the true end but they had the time to make Kanji even more gay and throw in yaoi jokes and vibes? I'm truly disappointed, i'll have to go back to the game i guess.
if only they animated P3...WHERE'S MY MINATO?!?

Seriously though, they left out alot of epic scenes from the game...if only they made an episode or two explaining the whole izanami thing (instead of wasting the animation on Yosuke blushing at yuu FFS).


Well at last we know that only from the game we get the true feeling from it.
The anime is stands in the middle I suppose, or even more they tend to the gayish thing and jokes to balance Yu's option towards the girls. Darn it, they ruin the ending. They even make Yosuke is the most talking one in Yu's departure. What about the feeling of the other?

Hope the True End episode is really something.

Oh, I agree with you. I was just making a reference to Hiimdaisy's comic because when you said that the first thing that I thought was him screaming that lol

But yeah, I'm with you in Yosuke being the "best pal" only. That's one of the reasons I was so pissed off with the Yosuke from the tv series.

Well, there was a slight yaoi vibe in the game depending on what you did in Yosuke's SL for example, but nothing really that major (for me, at least; for the yaoi fans it was more than enough).

If you aren't a fan, then why did you watch this? >.> This was solely made because it was well received by many, correct?



And yes, yaoi yaoi that people like to find in the straightest couples. Yosuke lost the girl he loved and Yu, the MC, has the ability to get a girl whenever he feels like it.

It needed more episodes, because I did like the fight scene with Ameno-sagiri. I always enjoyed the fight scenes, no matter how short. It looks so detailed! However, the part of the fight that seemed lacking was showing the full personas as I think everyone but Susanoo-o was shown properly close up. The blue flames kind of hindered the view for me.

The epilogue was rushed. The whole group did NOT run after the train, which is why it wasn't good to me like in the game. Good ending also showed every maxed link at the end, but there was no time for that. Despite that, it WAS well adapted. If they had more time...they could easily make a interesting run of the social links and the epilogue could be fantastic! If they had ONE MORE episode just for the epilogue, it would have been great.

Still a 9/10 for overall
Rushed or not, they weren't given enough space to maneuver; similar to a max social link run of P3. lol

*Whistles* Niiiiice.... They used Lucifer as the persona to PWN it all...
Though I was upset that they didn't bring out Izanagi-No-Okami
UNTIL I SAW THE PREVIEW FOR THE TRUE END!

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!


Otherwise.....this ep was kinda blah.....
One thing that peeved me is that they had to use Death of all things? OH COME ON. I fought death FOR FUN in the games....it ain't as tough as the anime made it to look, the thing is real easy to beat -it just tends to like to spam an instant death move a lot.
(Plus Adachi can't control Death...but the anime made it look like he could control them)

Also kind of "meh" that the teammates Personas all upgraded in that final battle at the last second.... it was a little forced I think... like "Oh...we forgot to include the Persona-upgrades things....let's throw it in like the last second"
really? I'd have forgiven them if they had upgraded when they beat the various Death clones (even though that's not quite correct either...) but that late? Come on....

Well...I look forward to the True End. If anything I want to see Izanagi-No-Okami animated soo badly.


----------------------
Edit: in regards to Deardrops post a little above mine...
@Deardrops: Actually if you did play the game a certain way you can kind of trigger dialogue that sounds rather borderline yaoi between Yosuke and Narukami in the game.
I'm specifically talking about the "Group date" cafe thing. If you get Yu to sit on the dude's side Yosuke sits on the girls side and he does say some "questionable dialogue" in response to the "date questions"

That's enough for yaoi fans to grab onto and run for it.

Long time lurker of this forum, first time poster, so forgive me if my post feels really long as I feel the urge to voice my opinion on this adaption. I'll start with talking about the final episode than the series as a whole.

With Episode 24 in mind, I think Episode 25 was done very well as far as Adachi is concerned. Strong build-up, strong tension, and Adachi's animation was very convincing. I enjoyed the fact he busted out three Reapers (which would've owned the hell out of everyone in the game) and had a solo battle with Narukami. I feel the battle was very well done even though it felt very preachy the whole time. I felt it would've been better if Yu and Adachi were actually fighting with their Personas as well for added effect.

The second half of Episode 25 though was a major downer for me. The severely rushed ending is obvious. I also didn't like the song that played to finish off Ameno. I love "The Almighty" that was playing and it was cut out far too soon. However, the Ameno battle, while very well animated, left me quite disappointed. I enjoyed watching Yu's struggle against the darkness, as well as Yosuke saving him with his transformed Persona, but right after that it fell into the world of Cliches`. Yosuke is the only person who I am 100% certain should have a transformed persona. Yukiko and Naoto are arguable candidates. Everyone else... not really.

Though this just leads me to look back at the series in retrospect. Even without knowledge from the game (I played it with 100% completion), one could tell the anime is just really rushed. There's so much cut out from the game that the adaptation suffered. The only thing I feel the adaption did right was solidify the relationship between Yu and Nanako. Even I felt like crying when Yu was desperately trying to save her and she ended up dying (and I knew it was going to happen!). The most important aspect in Persona 4 is the relationships that Yu shares with others, and it really felt more like the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. instead of an actual bond group of BFFs. As a result, I felt Episodes 18 to 24 were truly great episodes, but in hind sight I feel that's only because Nanako was involved. Of course, I'm generalizing a little too much. Yosuke and Naoto were well-developed, even though the former was pretty late with his development.

This series seriously should've been two seasons. That's plenty of episodes to form relationships with everyone.

I don't really wanna rate this anime, but this is definitely a show for fans of the game. I can't see people without previous knowledge liking this.

EDIT:

Which I'm not sure why there is. Yosuke and Yu grow to be best friends in the game, and the two actually depend on each other very well. Yu's the Commander, and Yosuke is the Lieutenant. I would expect nothing less.
