It’s got to be a real tall order - - doing something new and interesting (but still clear and effective) whilst devising an anime intro. If I didn’t know any better, I’d figure this was a Junior Senior music video and, upon reflection, that’s actually a wonderful direction to go in.
In actuality, it’s a vid MADHOUSE's produced for the release of PERSONA 4 GOLDEN, a PlayStation Vita retooling of the game that’s caused so much runaway hysteria in this particular sphere.
Go on and give it a watch...
As relayed by ANN, this new version will boast…
- New Personas
- New costumes
- New animated material
- New plot events
- A new character, Marie (Kana Hanazawa)
- Remastered graphics
- Added dialog
- An online “dungeon feature”
...all for you, sometime this fall.
I never got to watch the show or play the game, so those specs are all just bullet points to me. However, it was impossible not to notice how well any PERSONA 4 coverage went over, so I’m sure many of you lunatics will just go bananas about the minute-and-a-half of animation above.

Just saw that article for P4G from ANN earlier. If I get enough green for a Vita, this shit right here will be the first to get! <3
@Tom_Pinchuk: By the way, you spelled poor Marie's name wrong. It's okay, though. ;p
It a sweet sweet intro.
And yes, us fans want bananas on anything that is Atlus related, not just Persona.
I don't know why, but I can't see any of this video on here. I select it and it says the video isn't available. It makes it sound as if the video hasn't been uploaded yet.
I did check this out on YouTube directly. It's a bit weird. As least the Yosuke in the trash can. It's really pretty, but the game's original opening was really cool.
Tom, you are missing out by not at least trying either PERSONA 4 the game or the anime. The anime is up on HULU now. It was so good.
I think the video wasn't embedded correctly. There doesn't seem to be a video ID associated or anything, so it's not loading a video.
