| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, I guess those are some neat personas. It was an alright finale I guess. The battles were well coordinated. There was also little doubt that Yu stopped his attack for a moment there. Anyways, with the decent action for this finale and sticking with the premise, it was fine. |
 |
| Some scene are original and not from the game. The ending has everyone change their look. Kanji black hair stand out the most. Anyway great way to adapt the P4G. The pacing does not bother me because this was made for people who watch the original Animation or have play the original/golden game already. |
| No OP. Something's wrong with Mari, and the main guy wants to know why he has the power to begin with. It's not done? That Skeleton is despair part of Mari, who is hope part? She decided to go back to balance out? Gone and back after an half year. Kuma is still there? lol @ that deliquent looking guy's huge change! That little girl with long hair. And that weather girl is Mari!! What the... and confession. |

| Meh, such an unnecessary adaptation. |
| Ah dat epic music~ I'll Face Myself P4 reincarnation mix is one of my favorite battle themes in RPG Other than that, since they skipped around to just adapt the Golden exclusive scenes, kinda felt choppy, but oh well |
 |
| After all the big bads and even bigger bads they've fought, the final episode was very satisfying. Could have used a little less skeletor Izanami and more human-form Inzanami though. Closed up all loose ends, (if you've played the games or seen the previous Persona 4 anime that is) very nicely. Did anyone else notice Marie in a school uniform in the eyecatch card? Just Golden. I'm loving everyone's new appearances, even Kanji's. Nanako's new longer hair was really cute. It was also great seeing Marie again, and as part of society, even if she's a god that dictates the weather now. I wonder if she still hangs out with the rest of the gang from time to time during Yuu's absense? It would be strange if she didn't. With that national (regional?) live TV broadcasted confession: Yuu x Marie OTP confirmed! The only downside that bugged me was that they didn't give Izanami herself (the silver-haired lady/gas station dude) some more screen-time, (or even a good screenshot frame of her face for that matter), since Marie essentially became one with her and took her place, both in the story plot and storyboard script. Now if only we can get the sequel, Persona x Detective Naoto (one year after Persona 4) animated, I'd be ecstatic. Edit: Will definitely pick up the BD/DVDs when they come out, especially since Persona 4 The Golden Animation: Another End will be included. |

| Show was worth it just to see Golden Ending adapted. |
| I had to pause and laugh at Kanji for a few minutes because I was missing too much content... He looks like a 30 year old now! |
| Good episode. Yep, Kanji did change a lot in appearance. And Naoto looks a lot more of a woman now. Nanako looking cute as ever too with her hair down. That confession from Marie was awesome too. |
 |
| I have to say I prefer Golden over the original! I loved the addition of Marie and getting to see the Golden ending. Everyone looked so different and that confession from Marie on TV was just cool! I know Yu was only gone 6 mos, but I always hated the fact that he had to go home. Overall this is a 9/10 for me, loved the animation, loved the music, and definitely loved seeing NG+ animated! mariansony said: what was written on that piece of paper at the end ?@_@ It said "I wish we could stay together forever" Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Someone said it but I believe the original anime was far better with actions and each character getting actual screentime and plot. (I loved the game for golden but the anime was very stale imo.) 7/10 |

Solkiskey said: Meh, such an unnecessary adaptation. though it was nice seeing all this animated in better quality than P4 this whole Adaptation was unnecessary from the day it was announced 7/10 |
 |
| At least they handled the Izanami part much better than the original P4 OVA. As a Persona fan I can't complain about this adaption, I understand that it's different than the original so no use comparing it. It's simply a fan service and there were a lot of funny moments that enhances the original story line. 8/10 |
 |
| I would assume the P4G ending happen after the events of P4U and P4U2? |
 |
| It was a good ending. It was an adaptation to show of the new content, and fanservice, so it was great. So now Marie dictates the weather, that's funny. |
| I liked the epilogue part. Well, this series needed more budget, obviously. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Good ep. They did changed some things around but I'm happy they kept the epilogue in. Well with that in I don't really see this as a unneeded adaptation at all. BlitzAceSamy said: I would assume the P4G ending happen after the events of P4U and P4U2? Yes that's right and also add in the events of Dancing All Night and Persona Q also. Pretty weird they had that many adventures in 6 months time. :P |
 |
| Older Nanako was just <3 Also, that confession was just great. Didn't expect that someone would actually get to admit it. +rep to Marie~ All in all, a better ending to the series imo. |
 |
| Marie was just nothing but annoying drama until the very end. This actually deserved a 5/10, but since Yu is just so damn awesome, I bumped it up to a 6/10. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| 4/10 9 from 12 episode were unnecessary |
 |
| Well while I personally didn't like how they handled the "reveal" and how they did the final boss fight, everything after that was great, the epilogue was handled VERY VERY WELL and the send out was executed perfectly in my opinion and Maries confession was icing on the cake. Overall my rating is 7/10 Would have been higher if they executed some of the scenes, battles better, and if they had the balls to show the Valentines day scene for the girls. MOST OF ALL would have been higher if the final episode(outside the epilogue) was handled alot better. I dunno about anyone else but I personally enjoyed this and this is coming from someone who's already played the games and watched the previous anime. Now for the matter of the OVA, personally I don't think I will personally be able to stomach watching it after this, UNLESS they play the accomplish ending off like a special vision from say Margaret or maybe Marie casually having Yuu see what would have happened if he took that choice and after it's over they go back to the real present with Yu having a huge appreciation for his choice or something. If they simply show it to us straight and NOT send us back to the real reality t then no I couldn't watch it and they would have been better off doing it that way during the show. |

| That ending was pretty good. It was nice seeing how everyone's appearances changed. 7/10 |
 |
| It was good. 7/10 |
| I'm almost ashamed of being a fan of Persona if this is the kind of garbage Atlus expects me to buy into. An insult to the source material from beginning to end. 1/10 |
 |
| This gets a 5/10 from me it was a fragmented disappointment i can not give it even a 6 since i was really not even fine with it. Don't me wrong i liked the Persona 4 anime and i love Persona 4 Golden playing it on the Vita but this was just a let down and an empty covering the bare basics jumping about shell of itself. I can say i enjoyed seeing the golden ending animated though after the 6 month time skip and that small amount of extra scenes of Adachi but still far too much meh for me but what can you expect with only 12 episodes. |

| Marie's national confession- and that 明日もガーンバッテねと。XD 8/10 |
 |
| Nanako kawaii sugiru *-* 7/10 anime. |
| This was very fun at the begining then became boring with all the Marie drama. Couldn't care less about her. At the end I thought several years passed, some characters changed too much in just 6 months o.O |
 |
| Well, that was terrible. The anime took way too many liberties for me to actually enjoy it. So many scenes from the game were ruined because they just had to shove Marie down our throat. It was completely unnecessary, although that could be said about this whole adaptation in general. I couldn't even enjoy the epilogue because the cast wasn't really even involved with Yuu the whole season. Hell, even he wasn't invested with them at the end; he just shoved them aside for Marie, which was even more obvious when he was leaving the station and he looked back at the cherry blossom tree rather than his group of family and friends that were right in front of him. In all honesty, the only good thing that came from this were the Adachi episodes + the accomplice ending OVA that will be released in a few months. Anyways, if you really want the Golden experience, just play the game. And if you can't afford a Vita + the game, then watch a LP of it on YT or something. |

BlitzAceSamy said: I would assume the P4G ending happen after the events of P4U and P4U2? It does. P4U happens during golden week, around 3-4 months after P4 and P4G ending takes place after that. In the game, Yosuke even references P4A saying how crazy golden week got. |

| That Naoto...! The Epiolouge is the best part! |
Shirobako is AOTY 2015. Deal with it. |
| Meh. |
| I prefered this ending over the original (not golden) :3 Actually, this has become the original ending, so happy for it =D |
| Uuugh....one of the worst adaptation i've ever seen.... |
   I only wish life could be as leisurely as this a little more often... How greedy of me  |
| Overall it was more of an giant special showing the content that was added in P4G than an actual series. Other than seeing Adachi and the way they showed Marie there was really nothing special about this. |
| This was okay. I felt like this was more of a side-story with a new character rather than a remake. I haven't played the games so I never had any expectations although they could have added more action like they have in the main story of persona 4. 7/10 |
| I loved this ending. 10/10 Nanakochan so kawaii <33333 |
| I don't care if this was chopped to fit the exclusive part from P4G, i loved it all the way and i think Marie is a pretty good character addition. That Kanji tho... XD 9/10 cuz i love persona so what? Sue me XD |
 |
| It's a good adaptation but you need to play p4g i think. |
 |
| fell asleep twice watching this... blah blah blah friendship always win blah blah blah 5/10 |
 |
| *sigh* What really makes me sad is that this adaptation had so much better animation then the previous one. Also, liked Yu here much more then in the previous installment. I'm currently playing Dancing all Night game, and this personality is much more faithful. But overall, good start but went downhill very fast. The entire series should have been called Marie route instead of Golden, cuz' it was mostly about her and very little about other characters. Like people already stated, more like a NG+ to show extra scenes. It stared pretty damn good, even if little fast but then it concentrated on scenes that were Golden game specific but forcefully putting Marie in them, even when she wasn't featured in those scenes in the original game. Honestly, they should have made it a movie or something if they wanted to show Marie that much... Fans of her will probably appreciate it more but it was overly pointless for me as I didn't think she should have this much of a spotlight. The last episode that had Epilogue scene from Golden was the only thing I found worthy of mention. I like P4 cast and I loved all the characters much more here then in previous anime. But sadly as a stand alone it pretty much sucks. Game is superb, it takes a lot of effort to fuck this up. Shame. |
