Blu-ray: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 fans will LOVE this anime series!
The "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona" role-playing video game series developed and published by Atlus and has won over fans due to its darker storyline and it's one of the few games to incorporate a Japanese atmosphere incorporating simulation type games relating to its characters.
Created back in 1996, "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona" has continually evolved and its fifth installment, "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4″ (the fifth installment in the SMT: Persona series) was no doubt a popular title in the series when it was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2008.
The video game would inspire a 25-episode anime series titled "Persona 4: The Animation" , which aired on Japanese television in 2011-2012.
In 2012, with the release of the PlayStation Vita version of the game (titled "Persona 4: Golden") and the fighting game sequel "Persona 4 Arena" for the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360, what better time than now to release the anime series "Persona 4: The...
I'm gonna go on, I'm gonna go get what I want!
Finally, the second half to the great Persona 4 anime adaption is upon us. This Blu-ray set is only English Dubbed and has the second half of the series, while also containing the special True End episode.
The second half of the series is where I think this show shines the most. Hilarious Social Link episodes and high stakes fights are common in this half of the series. I always recommend that if you are interested in the show to try and play the game first, as the show obviously runs through it, which can ruin the game experience if you haven't already played it.
This set includes a special True End episode that is alternative to the ending of the episode before it. This special is actually worse than the normal ending though. This adaption of the True End from the game (which the True End in the game is absolutely fantastic and way better than the normal ending) is sloppy. They go for some kind of cutting maneuver which means they go from once scene to another...
The Velvet Room Beckons again
It seems like the case is solved, a murder is arrested and the Investigative team works to enjoy golden week and summer vacation by going on trips. But things are not all as it seems, Yu is running around on a mysterious mission - which has Naniko don the Magical Detective Loveline cape to solve the mystery, Teddy is popping up all over the place, and the Midnight Channel is quiet. But when the Detective Prince starts going to the school with new questions, even Yu has suspicions that the case is far from solved. As the group work to discover the secret of the Midnight channel, someone close to Yu is taken by the killer. It is a race into the TV world to save the latest victims, but can the bonds and new Persona's that Yu controls be enough or will it be the ultimate cancellation as the Velvet Room prepares to close.
Overall I loved the series, you could hear slight differences in the characters voices from Part 1 to Part 2 but I did not think that it detracted from the...
