Tempting Fate: As the gang prepare for their upcoming concert, Kou and Daisuke wish that they can help them in some way. On the day itself, they manage to help Rise to get to the concert, with Kou dressing up as Risette to lure her fans away. Kou complains to the others during the after party for making him crossdress and becomes even more embarrass after Chie compliments him.

comment
Graceful Loser: As before, Izanami, though in a different context and nonverbal this time. Even after forging Izanagi-no-Okami Yu can't bring himself to strike Izanami down because he keeps seeing Marie's face on her. This necessitates a different approach: Yu and Marie approach her together, and summon Kaguya to help them. Marie gives Izanami a speech about how the truth will save humanity rather than harm them and, alongside a Cooldown Hug from Kaguya, convinces her to believe in mankind again and rejoin with her. At this, Izanami's One-Winged Angel form dissolves into sparks of light; finally, Marie hugs her in her more humanoid form as she dissolves into her.

Poor Communication Kills
 Persona 4: The Golden Animation / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Definitely the trope that drives the events of episode 8. The boys plan for a party on Christmas Eve but not wanting the girls to help less they want to have another incident with Mystery Food X, Yu simply asks them to come to his house on the appointed date which makes them think he is asking them out for a date. Naoto takes the confusion up to eleven when she thinks Yu and the other girls are planning to kill her and Kanji is already a victim. On the day itself, the other guys are unable to come over to help so Teddie tells Yu he is sending someone to help him. Yu thinks he means the other girls but it is actually Ai and the sports captains. One thing leads to another, the party is postponed to the next day.

comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Before the Mood Whiplash, episode 8 inflicts this on Naoto. Believing herself to be taking part in a horrific mystery tale (rather than a lighthearted slice-of-life story), she hilariously misinterprets a series of unfortunate coincidences which ends up with her completely humiliating herself by mistaking a surprise Christmas party for an attempt to murder her. Hilariously, Marie is the cause of a good few of the coincidences, because they keep remembering doing things for someone who doesn't exist!

Adaptation Expansion
 Persona 4: The Golden Animation / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: While Marie was just one of around two dozen Social Links in the game (albeit, also acting as the focus of a short arc after maxing it out (on top of being an aspect of Izanami)), in this adaptation she becomes the focus of the story. This includes having new scenes with Yu that never occurred in the game. Which means, when Marie disappears to become part of Izanami, the story loses its entire focus... Adachi also gets expanded upon, where in game he is a NPC who gets a Social Link in Golden (besides him being the killer), he gets an entire episode focusing on him, notably showing him before the two murders. He has an entire monologue within as well, and if you watch this episode in order alongside the original animation's episodes as well, you'll find out that in Episode 22, he was lying to the Investigation Team to get them intentionally riled up. Adachi made sexual advances, not Namatame, on both Yamano and Saki. He just didn't expect the team to continue investigating after he said it.

comment
Alternate Continuity: Though covering the same basic story of Yu Narukami's time in Inaba, events play out differently in Golden than they do in Persona 4: The Animation. The biggest of these changes is Yu befriending Marie, who was never featured in the first anime, on his first day in town. Also lampshaded in the opening scene of episode 1 by Margaret. Lampshaded further late in the series, when it reverts back to the ORIGINAL series abruptly... because Marie erased herself, and the very reason it IS an alternate continuity...

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Persona 4: The Golden Animation / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Yu, during the quiz show, likes to look at the camera and pose while Teddie gives his description. At the beginning of the episode, the viewer visits the Velvet Room. However, it's empty, except for a piece of paper, which Marie runs in and picks up just too late to stop it being read out. One of them is part of Marie's memory map. She's outright furious. When Marie erases herself, the series reverts to the previous adaptation's opening, and Igor and Margaret are in the cold opening. Both the cold opening and new opening prominently featured Marie... who no longer exists... The alternate ending where Yu helps Adachi has Yu visibly distressed and paranoid as if someone is watching him, and his scream to the sky is akin to him being mad at a player for taking a choice he would never do.

Yu ends up leaving town without the case being solved and the fog never lifting. The Bad Guy Wins all around... Episode 7. Marie's gone. And, when the following episode begins, It's confirmed, for now, to be permanent...

Cutting Off the Branches: As far as the anime's concerned, Marie is Yu's canon Love Interest. A not unexpected event, seeing as how Marie is the Implied Love Interest in the game and this anime is a Compressed Adaptation. Episode 7 has a reverse example, in that Marie removes herself from the life of all the Investigation Team... which means Yu suddenly has no love interest at all...

Just when it seems like they're both too exhausted to keep fighting, Yu resorts to using his bare hands to beat the crap out of the other guy. DAMN!

The anime only focusing on new content and breezing through battles can be seen almost as a Speed Run.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Like the previous P4 anime, the anime assumes most of the viewers have already played the game, and shows big reveals with much less fanfare, including showing Teddie's human form in the opening, Ameno-Sagiri making a cameo in Episode 4, Adachi's killings shown before Nanako gets thrown into the TV, and Izanami making named cameos in some episodes. The Investigation Team's dungeons and personal crises are also skipped, since they've been largely addressed in the previous series.

comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: Coming out 2 years after the conclusion of Persona 4: The Animation, with this new anime, A-1 Pictures opted to adapt the new story and side content that got added to Persona 4 Golden rather than retelling the entire story from scratch. This resulted in Marie getting promoted to Deuteragonist and added to the side story content she wasn't originally a part of in the game, to make her closer to the Investigation Team and provide a better emotional climax.

New Game Plus
 Persona 4: The Golden Animation / int_637ef67
comment
New Game Plus: Invoked. Yu is far more knowledgeable / charismatic / courageous / understanding / diligent than he was in the first anime adaptation and the game itself, referencing the "replay the story while keeping all your stats" from the original Persona 4 video game. Margaret lampshades this being Yu's second time through in the opening scene of the first episode, stating he's "seeing a familiar landscape from a different viewpoint". Yu greets the gas station attendant on his first day in town, instead of the other way around (as in the original). He also greets the gas station attendant with a handshake, actively seeking out the "push" that awakens his TV-entering powers. Yu is far more outgoing with both Nanako and Dojima as soon as he gets to town. Yu reacts to Morooka's bullying on his first day in a way that isn't even possible in the game.note A close comparison is how in Persona 4: The Animation, he takes what is the equivalent to the first response (abide by Morooka and just say your name) whereas here he takes what is close to the last response (call Morooka a Jerkass outright). Yu walks directly into the TV World instead of accidentally getting pushed in by Yosuke and Chie freaking out. (They instead try to hold Yu back.) Yu takes out thousands of shadows single-handedly in the first episode, using high level skills like Maziodyne, Null Physical, Vorpal Blade, and Myriad Arrows. Most anime would say, "On the next episode..." or, "Coming soon!..." The Persona 4 Golden Animation says, "Next Memories". The opening credits each week actually show Yu with a fully maxed out Social Qualities board behind him at one point. ...That is, until Marie erases them by mistake... The opening theme is called "Next Chance To Move On". The anime only focusing on new content and breezing through battles can be seen almost as a Speed Run. Interestingly, all of the events from the original animation can be stitched with this animation as well with no problems since they occur on different but ordered dates. Which is lampshaded in Episode 8. Izanagi evolving into Izanagi no Okami during the battle with Kusumi-no-Okami and before the battle with Izanami. Something that's only possible with a new game plus.

Evil Laugh
 Persona 4: The Golden Animation / int_68068108
comment
The "Thank you Mr Accomplice" OVA is an adaptation of the Accomplice Ending, so of course. Yu destroys the evidence incriminating Adachi for his benefit, and Adachi responds with an Evil Laugh and declaring he'll keep tabs on Yu and hold this over his head forever. Yu ends up leaving town without the case being solved and the fog never lifting. The Bad Guy Wins all around...

Adaptation Personality Change: A minor case with Adachi. In the game, the first murder was an accident (as he admitted to just wanting to scare Yamano). In this adaptation he becomes aware of his powers much earlier and uses them to punish Yamano instead. Another minor case with Yu who is a little more sure of himself in the start due to being somewhat aware of how to progress the story and fight Shadows as per New Game Plus.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Originally, Yu ended the first anime single with admirers. Yu and Marie pretty much the central couple in this anime with the epilogue having Marie confessing to Yu which happens when the player romances her. Kanji and Naoto are relegated to Ship Tease but Yu being freed up makes their relationship more fleshed out.

comment
Adaptational Badass: At least in the start, Yu is very much this due to having maxed his stats in the previous anime, if the chart indicating his powers is anything to go by. Following in the footsteps of the first anime, Adachi goes from a fairly easy boss to stalemating every single Persona Yu summons against him, including Helel, with Magatsu Izanagi only vanishing from a suicide attack by Yu's Izanagi. Magatsu-Izanagi itself undergoes a severe case of this. In the actual P4 Golden game, although it's unquestionably better than vanilla Izanagi, that mostly has to do with the fact Magatsu-Izanagi is the prize for maxing out one of the two Golden-unique Social Links, whereas Izanagi stops learning any new techniques after level 5. Here? It defeats Ameno-Sagiri in a single strike. Likewise, Kaguya, the Persona acquired after completing the Aeon Social Link, is used to defeat Izanami instead of Izanagi-no-Okami.

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Marie is pretty much the actual protagonist of this series, being the most focused character of the show and appearing in scenes that she doesn't appear in the game. In addition, the show also made her the canon love interest of Yu. Following his Ascended Extra status in Golden, Adachi not only has two whole episodes dedicated to him, his fight with Yu being expanded to include more Personas than the two Izanagis. He's also the main focus of the Bad Ending OVA.

Medium Awareness: While Yu isn't actually aware that he's in what's basically a New Game Plus, several choices he makes early on are done with enough confidence and initiative on his part to reflect that he at least can better predict what to do in his unique situation without having to go through it first as if it's all familiar. The ending where he bails out Adachi also has him uncomfortable through the entire ordeal even before he makes the decision, and him yelling at the sky as one would do when pulling off a Rage Against the Heavens is pretty much him him damning whatever entity made him choose that path.

While Marie was just one of around two dozen Social Links in the game (albeit, also acting as the focus of a short arc after maxing it out (on top of being an aspect of Izanami)), in this adaptation she becomes the focus of the story. This includes having new scenes with Yu that never occurred in the game. Which means, when Marie disappears to become part of Izanami, the story loses its entire focus...

Continuity Nod: A butterfly is seen in the credits, referencing Philemon, the original boss of the Velvet Room. The Episode 1 commercial break has art of the Investigation team in Persona 3 Gekkoukan High uniforms. Marie's use of the electric guitar in the 5th episode has an electrical rendition of "Aria of the Soul" theme song. Episode 8. The original opening sequence of Persona 4 The Animation returns, since Marie erased herself, and the reason it's Persona 4 Golden, in Episode 7. Also, the credits lose the memory map images and the Investigation Team vanish. Taps is played in Episode 8 when the boys remember their previous hot spring incident. The end credits of Episode 10 mimics the Game Over scene from the game. In Episode 11, at one point, Yu gets to use a katana, just like he does in the game.

Interquel: There are vague hints scattered that the story of the game is acting like a New Game Plus, but with that in mind, the anime mostly adapts the new story content that got added to Persona 4 Golden rather than faithfully retelling the story from beginning to end, making it something of a companion series to the original. At times, the series borders on being a Slice of Life series if not for the final few episodes.

It's only after Marie's disappearance that the Investigation Team and Margaret's role increase. Igor on the other hand only appears quoting his usual Catchphrase.

Compressed Adaptation: The series focuses solely on the scenes exclusive to Golden, leaving the main murder plot Out of Focus. The other dungeons (such as those of the Investigation Team) are also timeskipped over. The anime also has no qualms on combining certain events together to save time. For example, one of Marie's Social Link events (one where she, Yukiko and Chie go shopping with you) happens during "Operation Up, Close and Personal". The scene where Yu confronts Adachi to shift the Jester Arcana to the Hunger Arcana is combined with Adachi's boss fight. Likewise, the battle against Izanami-no-Okami is combined with Marie's reveal of her true identity.

Fake Shemp: This adaptation uses every excuse possible not to use Igor, down to the fact Margaret has virtually all the dialogue. This is since the writers couldn't write him out, due to his long-running role as the host of the Velvet Room, even though his voice actor had passed away. His only line is his "Welcome To The Velvet Room..." introductory line. This gets to a hilarious conclusion in Episode 9 when Margaret misses her cue due to emulating Marie, and the music just dies out, Igor glaring at her.

comment
Continuity Cameo: The first episode's opening sequence features several appearances by several secondary Social Links and supporting characters, many of whom don't otherwise appear in the series. Some are more obvious than others. Kou and Daisuke are seen hanging out with Yosuke at Junes, while Yumi, Eri and Yuuta can be seen eating at other tables. Ayane and Hisano are seen along the riverbank during the wide shot of Chie and Yukiko walking together. Saki and Naoki get an entire shot to themselves, with Sayoko visible in the background shopping at their family's store and Mitsuo walking into the frame right at the end. Ai is seen scolding Adachi before he calls Dojima. Aika is seen feeding the fox while the Dojimas drive by the shrine to pick up Yu.

Updated Re-release: It's an anime based on the one of Persona 4, making it something of an updated re-release of Persona 4 The Animation. Which is lampshade hung in Episode 8.

Call-Forward: Yu defeats Kusumi-no-Okami the same way he would eventually (or already had?) defeat Izanami: by throwing away his glasses and summoning Izanagi-no-Okami.
