First of all this is the first episode so nothing is certain yet.
Anyway, let's start wasting my time on a review.
First, this is based from Persona 4, a PS2 videogame and a sequel to Persona 3 (Makes me wonder why there is no P3 anime). Takes place in the same universe, just no big creepy towers this time. As mentioned earlier it's the first episode, so I can't speak much yet, but..
Story:
Some things are omitted from the game. Mostly trivial stuff, things that do not make a significant difference. The story didn't develop much.. yet.
Everyone who played the game now should know how the story
...
goes. And unless you're one of these New Game++++++++++ people, omitted stuff should not or annoy you very little.
Art:
Crap. I've got to the graphics part. Damn, this is not a videogame but hell it seems it invaded everywhere. Well, some people say looks don't matter, but people who know what marketing is would disagree. I'd also like to comment on them: Go protest for gay rights. (I do hope that offends.) It'll be great if they feel trolled, because those self-righteous bastards always find it justified to call me shallow.
Anyway as other reviewers noted, the art is not the best. But damnit, what were you expecting? 3D characters? Tactics menu? Personally I think the art is heartly enough, but that's perhaps because I watched it 720p on a 32' HDTV..
I bet the art will get 100/10 once we get to Rise's part.
Sound:
It's based on the game, so naturally the BGM from the game will be played. Because it is the game, just an anime version, tracks play accordingly.
Characters:
The only notable character is the MC, because in the game he doesn't speak (He does, you're just given usually three choices but there's no voice) and he does now. Feels the same for me.
Other than that, Yusuke still sexually harasses Chie and they get into occasional fights. Your normal animeistic fighting characters. Kind of disappointing.
Enjoyment:
Enjoyment.. it's pretty subjective. Actually, every damn word I type here is subjective. I enjoy it. Pretty sure some other people enjoyed it. Others maybe less.
I think that people who played the game will have a different type of enjoyment than people who did not. Different type is not less or more, don't get confused.
There's also some elements taken from the games. The day progression and the character development.
Overall:
Overalls suck! Oh, this isn't a fashion debate.. damn fashion disasters always have to ruin my day.
Overalls... this is the first episode. You know, magical stuff happens. Creepy people inviting you into their limo, with their assistant and who knows what happens there. There's still much to see.
