Persona 4

Genre: Urban fantasyMurder mystery,Comedy-dramaSlice of life,Action/AdventureRomance


Plot: Persona 4 opens with the protagonist arriving in Inaba to live with the Dojimas for one year (starting April 11, 2011, about one year after the events of Persona 3: FES), as his parents are working abroad. Just after his arrival, a TV announcer is found dead, her body hanging from an-antenna; Saki Konishi, the high school student who'd discovered the body, is later found dead under similar gruesome circumstances. After the protagonist and his friends (accidentally) enter the TV world, they encounter Teddie, who helps them travel freely between the TV and real worlds. They awaken their Persona abilities (the protagonist first, Yosuke second, Chie third, etc.), and, realizing that the murders stem from Shadow attacks in the TV world, are able to rescue several would-be victims. Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa and Teddie accept their other selves, which become giant Shadows in the TV world, and join the group as Persona-users. Mitsuo Kubo, a student from another high school who disappears following the death of Kinshiro Morooka (the protagonist's foul-mouthed homeroom teacher), claims credit for the murders; it is eventually learned that Kubo only killed the teacher and played no part in the other murders. Naoto Shirogane, a nationally renowned teenage detective investigating the case, is also rescued and joins the party, who learn that "he" is actually a girl.


Overall: As a big fan of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, this is a must watch anime. Lets be patient and wait for the true ending episode bah.
