PERSONA 4 the Animation
The truth lies on the other side of the screen!
On MBS
A supernatural mystery anime that balances genuine darkness with strong friendships and comforting small-town atmosphere, grounded in character bonds as much as plot revelation.
When Yu Narukami moves to the rural country town of Inaba to live with his uncle while his parents are away on business, he's expecting a lot more peace and quiet than he's been used to in the big city. Instead, the peace has been shattered as a rash of mysterious murders and kidnappings sweep the countryside. With the police stymied, Yu finds himself joining with a group of seven other teenagers in a desperate bid to solve the mystery. A mystery that is somehow connected to both the local weather patterns and a strange TV world which Yu, his friends and the enigmatic killer can all enter.
