Unlike the other characters on the team, the protagonist has the ability to change between multiple personas. Gameplay in Persona 4 is split into two parts, the first being everyday life. The group of friends pledge to save anybody who gets thrown into the TV from there on, beginning a supernatural murder mystery that may well be one of the best narratives the RPG genre has to offer. People are being thrown into this world, and with no way to leave they are killed by the Shadows on days when it's foggy in the real world. Shortly after, the protagonist and his friends learn they have the ability to enter into TV screens, emerging into a sinister foggy world full of monsters called Shadows. His peaceful country life is turned upside down rather quickly when a series of serial murders begin to happen in town, seemingly connected to a strange rumor about watching a blank TV at midnight on a rainy night, a phenomenon that is known as The Midnight Channel. He very quickly makes friends with some of the more eccentric students at his school like Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka. In Persona 4 you take control of a high school student who has transferred from his school in the city to the rural town of Inaba, where he will spend the next year of his life living with his uncle Dojima and cousin Nanako. What should those people expect from this now decade old title? To be honest, the smart choice would likely be to keep your expectations in check. Until very recently these games were trapped on their respective systems, but for the first time ever Persona 4 has arrived on a Nintendo platform, meaning those who have likely gotten into the series with the wildly popular Persona 5 will have a shot at playing one of the two titles that technically started it all. This popularity only grew with Persona 4 Golden, an enhanced edition released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012. While Persona 3 had been relatively popular in its time, people seemed to have fallen in love with the foggy streets of Inaba. I enjoyed this show even though I have never played any Persona game.Persona 4 originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2008, and for a portion of the fanbase it is considered to be where the series truly took off. It's worth giving it a chance as it keeps getting better. I wouldn't advise to drop it after few episodes. Both the shows are game-to-anime adaptation. The animation style somewhat reminded me of Steins gate. You may not want to skip the openings and the endings. Their outlook for life/reality and the way Narukami overcomes their challenges felt really superb. The villains, despite reminding us of Madara Uchiha or Kaguya Otsutsuki, were brilliantly handled. Narukami was like everyone's Harry Potter. Moreover, they had a group of maybe 8 people and yet each of them mostly think or talk only about Yu Narukami. But after their respective character arcs, Chie, Yukiko, Rize and Kanji had very little significance for the plot development. Almost each of them had a potential to contribute to the story. Many a times, even by the 'main character-standard', the show looks very 'Yu Narukami-biased.' It had many interesting characters. However, the writing isn't really flawless. Each character has at least something to offer and all of them are developed really well. The anime does well in terms of characterization as well. The ending, despite being quite dramatic at times, was very satisfying and everything felt resolved. Nevertheless, these kind of twists really suit to this concept. During the climax, you cannot help but think of Naruto Shippuden because of the way bunch of villains manipulate each other. The show takes much time in introducing the characters and mentioning about their struggles.(The similar kind of a pattern observed in Demon slayer). It keeps getting better and is unpredictable throughout. Despite the slow start, the storyline is quite intriguing. Upon confronting their dark personalities in a distorted TV world, Narukami and his friends acquired mysterious power called 'Persona' and decided to investigate the murders and save others from getting killed. On the other hand, some mysterious string of murders were taking place in Inaba. He and his new friends soon discover about an alternate reality when they were shockingly pulled inside one of the TVs in the Junes shop. The story revolves around Yu Narukami, a young teenager, who moves to the town of Inaba.
