Length: Episodes 13-26
"The mystery of the murders seems to have been solved, but the riddle of the Velvet Room and the lethal Midnight Channel is an enigma that Yu and the other students who form the Investigation Team still have to crack. And that's to say nothing of the questions of how their powers of Persona work in the first place, and how the fictional Teddie can exist in the real world. As conundrums wrap in conundrums, and the school year burns inexorably towards a blistering summer, the team must prepare for the most deadly challenge yet while still pretending to lead normal high school lives. But that won't be easy under the evil eye of their new homeroom teacher. And when Detective Shirogane reenters the game with new information about irregularities in the police investigation and clues that may lead to an entirely different conclusion, both team and detective find themselves playing the role of prey once more! The body count is on the rise, the Shadows attack , and new Persona are about to ascend as the Midnight Channel launches the ultimate cancellation program in the grand finale of PERSONA 4!"
Whew...long description on this one. This one is the 2nd and final half of Persona 4 where the story draws to a climax. The first two episodes are just comedic but the rest starts to ratchet up the action with bits of drama. Just how much danger is everyone in? The stakes get higher and higher with possibly the fate of the world on the line.
Still love this series even if the characters are a little over-used in the personality department. You've got the macho man and the comedic relief for the guys. The girls have the tsundere, the brainiac, the airhead, and the loli. However, Yu is awesome. Very refreshing personality with how blunt, nonchalant, and ignorant he is. He punches his friend in the face without hesitation when asked to. Even has three girls sitting on his lap and doesn't get the picture.
Backgrounds are used over and over as most of the scenes take place in a few locations but they're still done nicely. Action scenes are awesome even if the fights follow a pretty typical pattern each time. BD release seemed a little better than the first volume, too.
Extras kind of blew. A few trailers along with the textless opening and closing.
Enjoyed this series a lot. Watched all of this season in one sitting and was still hoping for more. Great watch. Pick it up if you've already seen the first season. If you haven't, buy them both.
