It's been a few days, but I wanted to make sure that fellow Persona series fans knew that the Persona 4 anime is up on Hulu now. You can watch it right here. Subtitled.
This is a straight up anime adaptation of the game, complete with loading screens that show the weather. Everything's here: Teddy, TV jumping, the original musical score from the game and all the small town Japan scenery you can handle. Not bad. Still, not enough Nanako. She does bust out the original Junes song. It's worth a watch for that, if nothing else.
Everyday Young Life, Ju-Ne-Su!
Have you seen it? If so, what did you think?

My only complaint is that the Japanese cast simply just isn't as good as the English one. I don't know if they're using different VAs than from the game, but good lord, Teddie's voice is annoying.
I never beat Persona 4 hell I never even played it, but I loved P3 and am eagerly waiting for P4 and the vita so I can play it portably
That said, they've done a decent job of emulating Soejima's style though.
;_;
I guess its nice for the people who were unable to finish the game for whatever reasons (sucking, impatience, etc.).
I haven't played Persona 4, but I'm playing P3P on my PSP right now, and I've always liked the art style of the series.
I'd sooner wait for it to be dubbed, anyway. I'd rather hear it voiced by the actors I fell in love with when I played it.
Only one episode has been shown in Japan, they're going up the same day as they air over there I believe.
If you're Europe the series is being streamed through Anime News Network's streaming service. So no need to torrent there.
There were some nice touches though like when they show the weather sometimes between scenes, the fact that the music is the same and showing the characters eyes when they do a special move were all pretty neat. The end of the episode was cheesy as hell when he's just standing there like "heh, I did it, son!" lol
I saw it already, it was great, but rushed. I expected it to be rushed though, a lot goes on in the beginning of the game. I just hope they don't continue to rush it as time goes on.
