The stage is Ayanagi City, a city near the Japan Sea. It is a futuristic city that was built to carry out the recovery from the calamity caused by the "Apathy Syndrome" ten years previous. High school student Shin Kanzato with his little brother Jun, meet with their elder brother Ryou, who is the chief of the Ayanagi City Police, again after ten years. At that time, a series of strange incidents happen in Ayanagi City such as the crew of a submarine that suddenly disappears while in their submarine, or a spiritless symptom which disturbs the world after ten years, or the case of the inside out corpse where a student took on a cruel appearance. Ryou tracks down the organization behind the string of incidents, and having become involved in the incidents, Shin awakens the "Persona."


A little overview with this series as I wasn't too keen on it, for me people went all about persona, and I adore persona for those who played the games like I did. This series is very lacking if people are looking for persona vs persona fights it only focuses on the story. 

Dont get me wrong, it was a slow paced anime but to me it didnt decipher persona in general. I love the characters and animation it looked really fluid and dark. Because it only focuses on the story the whole colour palette was somber which was fine. I would have liked more of course as it was confusing it didnt grasp me but other people may like it. 

overall for me it wasn't to my taste the animation is what got me interested more though so points to that. the music suited atmosphere of the anime. Give it a go if you feel like in a dark mood that is.

After signing a contract in which he "accepts his fate of his own free will," the main character battles with the other members of SEES against the Greater Shadows, incarnations with traits and appearances similar to those of the first 12 Major Arcana of the Tarot. While this is occurring, he continues to encounter and eventually befriends the child who gave him the contract to sign at the very beginning of the game, an entity who refers to himself as Pharos, and is really the incarnation of Death, the 13th Arcana.

I really enjoyed this one, it was different compared to the first one. the storyline was outstanding to me, the characters all have unique personalities which are proven through the show of course. If anyone played the actual game they know what goes on. 

The animation this time wasn't to my liking but I didnt mind because the story made up for it. The show is about an ordinary guy who has to save the work, having bold teamates created good battles. Power of friendship is very evident in this series compared to the first one I talked about. The music suited the movie in general the manga was also strange but you might grow to like it like I did.

Persona 4 takes place in a rural town named Inaba. There have been mysterious murders occurring whenever there was fog after heavy rain. There were also rumors about a channel on television airing only at midnight called Mayonaka TV, during which it is said that one can see his/her "other half" when staring at the TV screen. 

If you think the movie was great, this is another great comeback for Persona, this time it involvess a TV! how bizarre but in general I think this is by far the best one. Its probably the best video game I have played so far I mean series wise its really good.

Because its similar to the game the animation for the anime is the same, its clean and sharp and very vibrant. The characters are really interesting and very lovable. For me the action scenes are what makes persona 4 the animation. The music itself really suited the show as its quite the same from the game really not much change but if you like the game you would like this then.

The anime is a very faithful adaptation of the game and I am very pleased by it. I am glad that its quite similar as well and I really enjoyed the characters in general too, for me it was plus point. I dont want to talk too much about it but you get the gist. You either played and loved the game you would love this too, but if you haven't, you must give it a try.

Overall I would like to say I am generally surprised by the adaptation of the show in general. But would like to point out that persona 4 was my fave anyway. I really enjoyed watching all of the shows though so I wasn't too bothered by it, so for those who have played the game will enjoy the shows I am sure but for those who still haven't and would like to give a go to the show then make sure you have popcorn!

I shall leave with a couple of songs ~

Dopes ~
