If this is serious then that means, this is not a re-make of the first anime as there is no way they can add everything into just 12 episodes. This probably means they are only doing the new scenes mostly from Golden.

I actually think that this is better seeing as I've already seen all of the original and beaten the game about 4 times. Hopefully, the focus is mostly on Marie and the events of Golden (mainly, I want an awesome version of the Junes concert).

Kind of sucks that its 12 episodes, I really don't see how they will fit everything into just 12 episodes, especially with adding Marie's scenes.

It's not a remake, the trailer show that events start three years after the end of Persona 4 Animation.

Warning: it contains big spoiler about Persona 4 Animation...

Hmmm. Are you sure it just doesn't mean 3 years after Persona 4 The Animation aired? Because P4A did air 3 years ago. I hope that you are right but I have my doubts.

Uhm, it makes sense, maybe I'm wrong. We'll know next week.

I'm fine with it being only 12 episodes. I agree that it's probably not going to be a full re-make considering there's only so little episodes.

Still, I can't help but wonder what's going to be cut-out of the previous animation but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I really hope we see the skiing and valentines day scenes. And also, I'll use any excuse I can to see Yosuke and the others in their halloween costumes ^^

No, offence, but it really doesn't make sense. The trailer clearly plays out scenes from Marie's story arch in Persona 4 Golden, which takes place during the Persona 4 timeframe. Not to mention, you have character designs from during the Persona 4 timeframes, whereas the Persona 4 Golden epilogue (takes place the summer after Persona 4 ends) has their character designs tweaked and distinctly different. This is without the simple fact that basing it off of Persona 4 Golden means you're basing it off the Persona 4 story and timeframe.

3 years later makes absolutely no sense whatsoever unless you're talking about the time between the anime's airing.

The best chance for this anime at this length to me is if they take some New Game + type storyline (which would be cool if done in the right way).

Should I bother watching this show if i'm new to the Persona franchise? I watched a few episodes of the Persona 4 anime and I thought it was done kind of poorly.

Hmm, done kind of poorly? It'd help if you elaborated on what exactly you didn't like. Was it the characters? The setting? The plot?

Since Persona 4 Golden is somewhat of a re-make on the original many of the elements I described earlier are the same.

For starters, I'd recommend playing the games first if that is an option. Also, you can try and check out the Persona 3 movie series which are more current and see if that can serve as your gateway into the Persona universe.

I just wasn't a fan of the pacing.The story definitely seemed to have a lot of potential.
I'll take your advice on the Persona 3 movies

Thank you!

I have a really bad feeling about this.
Didn't the trailer show bits from the first arc? How the hell are they going to compress all that and Marie's arc in 12 episodes?

The simple answer is : You can't. You'd need around 40 episodes to cover all of Persona 4 including Golden events, in order for it not to be rushed.

Any slim hope I had that this might have potential just cratered upon learning this was only 12 episodes. Another Aniplex cash grab anime basically, what a shocker.

They will release 12 episodes then announce a second season at the end of the last episode.

All of this director's anime does this now.

He literally JUST did it with Hamatora. Calm the fuck down.

Also, if they cut out a lot of the really bad social links (moon, temperance, hanged man) they can cut this down to 12 episodes.

The 12 episodes worth of shit that mattered.

They'll most likely announce a second season after this one ends, to air in winter or later. The fact that they showed one of the ending scenes from the True End (without the epilogue) to me looks more like they're appealing to those who already watched the old series, which coincided with the release of the P4 Golden game.

Definitely not one fourth of the game, but it did feel super rushed. They could probably go through the rest of the game in the remaining 11 episodes, but it's gonna be a mess.
