The anime series Persona 4: The Animation (ペルソナ4, Perusona Fō, stylized in Japan as "P4 Persona4 the ANIMATION") is based on the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 video game by Atlus. Produced by AIC A.S.T.A. and directed by Seiji Kishi,[1] Persona 4: The Animation revolves around Yu Narukami, a second year high school student from a city who moves to Inaba to live for a year with his uncle and cousin. After acquiring a mysterious power called "Persona", he embarks on a journey with his new friends to uncover the truth behind a bizarre series of murders involving the distorted TV World, as well as a phenomenon called the "Midnight Channel".

Overview

The episodes started airing in Japan on MBS on October 7, 2011 and have a simulcast by Anime Network in North America.[2] On November 23, 2011, Aniplex started releasing the series in DVD and Blu-ray volumes, with the first one including the first episode in a director's cut version and bonus CD single for the opening and ending themes.[3] Following volumes will contain three episodes and a single CD with the second released on December 21, 2011.[4] The anime has been licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks for Blu-ray and DVD release during 2012.[5] Episodes are then available for stream on Hulu 24 hours after the Anime Network simulcast.[6]

The anime series features the same main Japanese voice cast from the original game.[2][7] Some minor characters have had their voice actors changed. Igor's voice actor Isamu Tanonaka died of a heart attack in 2010, so the anime uses the original recordings from the video game.

Music

Shōji Meguro returns as the composer for the series' songs and background music. The first 12 episodes used "sky's the limit" performed by Shihoko Hirata as the opening theme, and "Beauty of Destiny" by Hirata featuring Lotus Juice as the ending theme. When the second season began with episode 13, the opening theme changed to "key plus words" performed by Hirata featuring Yumi Kawamura, and episode 14 began the use of a new ending theme titled "The Way of Memories (Kizuna no Chikara)" (The Way of Memories -キズナノチカラ-, subtitle literally "The Power of Bonds") performed by Hirata.[15]

The debut episode of the anime used "Pursuing My True Self", the theme song from the video game, performed by Hirata as the opening theme, while utilizing "sky's the limit" as the ending. Episode 9 used a special opening theme titled "True Story" which was performed by Rie Kugimiya as her character Rise Kujikawa. Episode 13 also had a unique ending theme titled "Koisuru Meitantei" (恋する名探偵, lit. "The Love Detective") by Yui Horie as the character Loveline (ラブリーン, Raburīn). Episode 15 has a unique opening theme as well, using "Burn My Dread", the theme song of the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 video game, performed by Kawamura. Episode 18 had a unique ending theme titled "Honto no Kimochi" (ほんとのきもち, lit. "True Feelings"), performed by Hirata.
