oh idk now which i should watch

if the p4g anime is just going 'ah gently caress it here is some episodes' i'm all about that but if its legit worse because its boring and not well done i guess i'll go with the original. honestly p4g anime has a lot of catching up to do because gently caress marie she is garbage

P4GA is extra episodes to P4G or possibly a NG+ run of the original game. Aside from the first episode and the Christmas episode, they don't cover anything in the first anime.

Also on the subject of Persona characters being similar to ArcSys characters I love that Junpei has an install and a clean hit mechanic as if he's the Sol of the game.

You wanna get through this?
For those actually wanting context of the Chie picture:

Naoto somehow concludes Yu's invitation to come over for Christmas is a plot to kill her, and she starts imagining crazy poo poo. She calls Chie and hears yelling in the background, and then assumes Chie is part of the plot and torturing Kanji. In reality, Chie is trying to learn what's the proper way to celebrate Christmas Eve...by watching a Christmas themed Kung-Fu movie.

why the gently caress would Naoto assume that? the first thing, I mean.

Something like she's crazy with stress over the possibility that sempai has noticed her.

I got into anime again recently and there's actually good shows still being made, I just assumed everything was poo poo by now

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Yeah it's an adaptation of a manga that started in the 80s but that doesn't make it any less good. They're currently on Part 3 of the manga, which introduces the concepts of Stands which are LITERALLY the same thing as Persona. From what I hear a huge chunk of the feel and story of Persona 4 is straight from Jojo's Part 4 too. Imagine Persona 4 where every single character is Kanji

Space Dandy: People were dissapointed because they were expecting the next Cowboy Bebop since it's the same creator, except this time what he did is give a different guest director and writer control over every episode which leads to some out there stuff like a speed racer inspired episode that ends with Dandy getting lost in time and finding out he has become a god, or an episode that has like 3 minutes of no dialogue that is basically an LSD trip, or an episode where a zombie outbreak happens but the zombies win in like 10 minutes and the rest of the episode is just exploring the ramifications of a universe where everyone is a zombie

Ping Pong: They play ping pong and there are emotions

Makes you wonder if Persona 5 is about joining the yakuza :tinfoil:

The anime's interpretation of Yu is pretty fun too, basically as if someone was 100%ing the game by picking all of the sarcastic and silly dialogue options.

Anime Yu is only cool in the original anime. Golden Anime gave no shits because its just the Marie Show guest starring some other unimportant chucklefucks.

e; Do YOU love Marie as much as the Golden writers and want to see people fawn over Marie being so ~*cool*~ and ~*perfect*~ moreso than even the game version of Golden? Then the Golden anime is for you, since everyone and their fox does it there.

i thought the golden anime sorta squandered the "New Game+" gimmick they had for Yu, instead of him figuring things out really fast they just ignore the actual Persona 4 plot entirely and made 8 or 9 episodes about marie butting her way into events she was barely involved with in the game

I will not be happy until one of the P4 anime series shows Yu and Mara fighting in a totally serious situation.

Episode 2 has Yu trying to balance several events at once. That's pretty good. Chie and Ai get into a fashion battle.

Adachi's episodes are 6&7 but it's framed by Marie warning Yu about him.

The last episode has a funny moment between Yu and Nanako, but the rest of it is about Yu and Marie.

I'm at the alignment lock and depending on what answer I give I'm getting either the Law or Chaos path. Does that mean I'm stuck in a hotspot in points where the decision is hitting me out of the neutral path?

Yeah, if you have a save from slightly earlier you should be able to get neutral pretty easily.

Yeah that basically means you were too neutral for the neutral path, at between +2 and -2 alignment. Bit silly isn't it?

Marie was an important addition to the game as her 90s bubblegum punk aesthetic filled a major hole in the waifu taxonomy, which is important to Atlus's bottom line.

Marie is important because she shows the player how annoying Yu would be if he weren't the MC.
