About Persona 4 the Animation

Looking for background on Persona 4 the Animation (ペルソナ4アニメーション)? This action, adventure and mystery series by AIC A.S.T.A. (2011) starts out like this. The premise: Persona 4 takes place in a rural town named Inaba. There have been enigmatic murders occurring whenever there was fog after heavy rain.

Further in, there were also rumors about a channel on television airing only at midnight called Mayonaka TV, during which it is said that one can see his/her "other half" when staring at the TV screen. After hearing about a recent unsolved murder which occurred during the fog, the characters—Narukami, Chie, and Yosuke—discuss how each of them had attempted to watch the unexplained TV channel and witnessed the murder victim. The protagonist later realizes that during midnight when the channel is on, his body can phase into his television set as a gateway to enter another realm infested with shadows.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Igor (Isamu Tanonaka) and Chihiro Fushimi (Ai Maeda) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 25 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
