Since the series is almost done (I'm told) I started watching the Persona 4 anime and I must say; I'm a little disappointed. Of course it's a disappointment I knew I would experience due to how compressed the game needs to be to fit it into an anime. The first episode alone combined hours of game play and storyline which is fine, as I said. I know they had to do it so we wouldn't have a 102 hour long anime everyone fell asleep in (though *I* would watch it).
I felt a bit... I don't know... dirty, watching it. Almost the kind of feeling I get when I skip a cut scene I haven't seen before (even though I have seen all the in game cut scenes). The voice acting is fine, the animation is fine, and of course the music is exceptional.
After four episodes now, I still have that eugh feeling. It also bothers me when they have to compress things, into anime form, because they make things happen at different points or in a different way, and that makes my OCD bells go off in an insane manner. I might want to enjoy it more, but I'm unable to enjoy it more because of these reasons. As I head into the fifth episode I find myself wanting to play the game again instead of watching the anime. I’m sure its phenomenal for others and I’m sure that others are enjoying it immensely, but... I don't know. Its just... like Persona 4 cliff notes. I feel like I'm cheating and I don't like it.
