Post a three year hiatus with ‘Persona 4: The Animation’, Yu Narukami is back to the Tube with his Persona powers.
At first glance, ‘Persona 4 the Golden Animation’ looks like an anime version of ‘Persona 4: The Golden for PS Vita’, the handheld game which was an expanded version of the original PlayStation 2 version of Persona 4. But, the trailer for the Golden Animation tells a different tale; it actually acts as a sequel to the story, taking place three years after and introducing the PS Vita add-on character, Marie.
The cast will star Daisuke Namikawa as Y? Narukami, Showtaro Morikubo as Y?suke Hanamura, Yui Horie as Chie Satonaka, Ami Koshimizu as Yukiko Amagi, Kappei Yamaguchi as Kuma (Teddie), and Kana Hanazawa as Marie.
‘Persona 4 the Golden Animation’ will start streaming on 10 July for Hulu, Crunchyroll, Aniplex and Daisuki. No specific time has been set just yet.
Before directing this new anime series, Tomohisa Taguchi worked on the opening and the important parts of specific episodes in the first Persona 4 The Animation series. The first anime’s Seiji Kishi will serve as chief director of the new anime.
