ThePersonagames are known for offering players storylines that go on for hours and hours. My first run-through ofPersona 5capped out at around 92 hours, and that was without seeing everything the game had to offer.
Now, not everyone has that kind of time. I understand that struggle. It’s a struggle that has stopped me personally from playing a multitude of fantastic JRPGs.
Thankfully, anime is here to save the day.Persona 4: The Animationis currently $22 on Amazon. Of course, you may watch anime online pretty easily, but don’t be a butt, support the industry. I knowPersonafans like myself love collecting as much physical media and merchandise from the series as possible.
The discounted collection is only available on Blu-ray meaning you’ll get to view it at the highest quality. Now, I’ve seenPersona 4: The Animationand don’t necessarily think it holds a candle to the game it’s based on. Also, I think it’s worth noting that there was a completely separate anime created for the additional storylines inPersona 4 Golden.Scenes from that show are not included in this collection.
As previously mentioned if you don’t have the time to play the game, the animation is an acceptable alternative. I myself viewedPersona 3’sstoryline via the four movie collection that released in Japan some time ago before trying the game myself. Sometimes it just has to be done that way for some of us.
Persona 4: The Animationis 26 episodes long. It covers all of the main plot points from the game it’s based on. The biggest criticism I have of it is the fact that over the course of the game, it’s much easier to really get to know the main characters and grow attached to them. I personally didn’t get the same effect from the anime. Nevertheless, it’s an enjoyable watch.
you may purchase the collection over onAmazonright now. It’s currently out of stock but you can still get the Blu-ray at a discounted rate, and it’ll be sent to you once it’s restocked.
Persona 4came out back in 2008 on the PlayStation 2, it’s also available digitally on the PlayStation 3.Persona 4 Goldenwas a re-release ofPersona 4with additional content for players exclusively on the PS Vita.
