So I finally got to finish watching Persona 4 anime.
It’s probably confusing to watch if you didn’t play the game, but it does repeats some of the best moments. So it’s like a way to refresh your memory on the story.
They did well with the Nanako hospital scene, finishing the episode with her flat lining. And then the followup lynching scene.
And while the series was light on fighting scenes until the last three episodes, when fight kicks off with Adaci, it’s quite spectacular.
In the original game, I remember it as quite boring, because you just fight that dark cop. But here, instead they put Reaper and Dark Izanagi instead (Izanagi is the persona Yu, the protagonist uses).
Interesting for Shin Megamin Tensei fans only, but still, the way Yu defeats Amano Sagiri is by summoning Lucifer, the strongest Persona in most games.
And they actually made the final twist better. In the game, it was the secret ending, and or was a bit tedious to pull. But here, they went for a fake ending, then into Groundhog Day, and even gave Yu a shadow, which I think the game didn’t have because Yu was the Joker (or in other words a silent placeholder for the player).
Overall, I liked the anime more than I expected. Especially for the finale.
