Persona 4 The Animation: Awakening [ENG] 

damn, i wish the same studio animated p5a. p4a is one of the best game adaptation anime. like how yu starts of empty, expresionless & slowly became a chad pimp

Best line ever: "Get off me!" cause it immediately shows a direct understood connection between persona and the summoner. He understands already that the floating knight is a part of him just as much as his regular flesh and blood body is.

“I am thou, thou art me” “wE’rE a HaPpY fAmIlY”

Yu got his revenge in the Golden version of this scene. Holy shit he was smirking the whole time.

This scene is awesome, but I still don't know why he unbuttoned his shirt.

Japanese "Persona" having 4 syllables and three syllables in English make it a little awkward lol

We got ourselves a badass over here

I like how in this one, Yu is learning how to use Izanagi and got a shadow to land a hit on him, but in the Golden Version, he's basically in NG+ at Max Stats and Maziodynes the entire area lol

Orpheus' voice is deepened voice of Minato Izanagi's voice is deepened voice of Yu Arsene's voice is deepened voice of Akira

I think this may be my favourite awakening scene. 0:47 I love how Izanagi slowly ascends up, looking all manacing, while Reach Out To The Truth plays in the background

The dub was great

This is proof persona animations can be cool. P5 animation really failed huh

GET OFF ME!!!

1:18 That shot though.

Can’t believe they made crushing a card look so badass

That sound when he crushes the card is so clean. Thats the one part that puts it ahead of other awakenings for me. Wish it was in the game

Am I the only one that likes this awakening more than the original?

Izanagi is such a badass looking Persona. I love the starting Personas (for the 3 games I've played), Orpheus, Izanagi and Arsene, but god damn is Izanagi arguably the best of the 3, not only in this but he only has 1 weakness whereas the others both have 2. In P4A, Izanagi is an absolute beast.

Nice touch getting JYB to voice Izanagi.

Imo, when they do P4 Remake they need to take this scene for MC awakening. Imo it much better than og awakening. like here is when the persona awakening and the og location is when we learn how weapon works

This anime was what got me into Persona in the first place. Thank god it exists. Plus, when I first watched the show I stopped at the second last episode and bought Golden the next day, so the anime never spoiled me to Izanami

Ever been so angry that you hit a Shadow with another Shadow?

This show had a lot of heart to it. I've never played P4 but I was able to get hooked right away and enjoy this show quite a lot. P5 the animation, on the other hand...I don't know if it's just the way it's directed, or if the story of the game is just like that, since I've never played it, but I just can't get quite hooked to it. I found it kinda boring and I eventually just had to drop it since I wasn't enjoying it

(0:04) I am Thou, Thou art I! Thou hast open thine eyes. The Time… is NOW!!!!

The music kicked in at just the right moment

***** Context for my *"Yu Narukami's Bankai is Ichigo"* joke, on the off chance you didn't get it. Also IGN 0/10 "Not enough Getsuga Tenshou."

Bearsona

He was the only one to embrace who he really is. That's why his Persona was unlocked immediately instead of becoming a shadow. Yu knew who he was and embraced it. Awesome ^_^

When i first watch the Animation and the soundtrack kicked in, cant deny i was super pumped!

Thank you for uploading the English version! :D

Well remember what happened when each character learned/earned their persona's? They felt weak and some even passed out. If I were to guess, he probably felt weak after learning how to summon his for the first time too.

I can smell the animators blood sweat and tears with how fluid some of the animation is.

I always liked the feature that Persona Wielders can feel what their Personas do playing on the whole "Personas are just you with more bling"😁😁

1:27 GET OFF ME

Thou art I, and i am thou, from the sea of thy soul i come. I am Izanagi, lord of thunder

I am Thou and Thou art I,From the sea of the soul i come forth I am the Deity of the Eastern Lands... Izanagi!!

_Now I face out I hold out_ _I reach out to the truth of my life_ _Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away_ _Oh God let me out_ _Can you let me out?_ _Can you set me free from this dark inner world?_ _Save me now Last beat in the soul_

SWAG KING!

1:47 That “Izanagi” was delivered nicely, showed how desperate Yu really was to survive

The persona is strong with this one

The difference between this and P5A shows a difference between making an anime out of respect and passion and making one for a cash grab. If you don't believe me, just compare this awakening sequence to P5's. Night and day

_proceeds to unbutton shirt_

This is some good animation, nice bounce and fluidity to it.

still the best persona design in the series tbh

This still gives me goddamn chills every time I watch it. P5 is supposed to be even better, but I don't see how they can top P4.

Persona 4 Golden was the best in the series, man! Hundred times better than Persona 3 and Persona 5 on terms of story, soundtrack and characters. And its anime adaptation is just the definition of perfection. That's how a game is adapted to an anime.

Johnny Young Bosch is the protagonist voice

Fur... sona...This power... it belongs to me...

Still one of the coolest power awakening scenes ever.

r/iamactuallyverybadass

😮 I always loved how they made the personas in persona 4 feel like actual monsters in the anime. The size that impacts the lumbering movement from now on the ground it's amazing.❤

You know, even though this show moved faster through the story than the game did, it was still awesome

1:27 Yu Narukami Say Get Of Me

My favorite version of the Persona 4 style cut-ins. Looks better here than in the game.

I love that he says "get of *me*"

that boot kick gets me every fucking time

You are me and I am yu

Ngl izanagi is a dope persona !

Yus voice is ichigos from bleach

GET OFF ME

I am thou... and thou art I... thou shalt probably break thy card if thou want to survive. Also say Persona when thou do it because it would sound very badass.

LOOKAT THAT SMILE :D

Achievement Earned! *The Other Self* Obtain Persona Izanagi.

The Persona's are bigger then their human user's in the P345 anime's then in the games

1:48 Yu Narukami Say Izanagi

1:46 is BEAUTIFUL

The power of Zio

At 0:41 Johnny Young Bosch Ban...kai!!!!.....wait sorry wrong thing

Persona 4 was 1000 times better than persona 3 and persona 5.

As in original japanese dub or in game dub? Cause JYB is still the voice actor in both the anime and game.

God the difference is night and day when compared to P5A that anime was so trash

The thing is that the persona's voice is actually the same voice as the user, I just wished that it didn't sound so awkward here. In Persona 5 they did a great job in making it sound like they got someone else to voice the Persona, but if you listen very closely you can tell its the same voice actor.

good voice actor for the series (ichigo voice actor) and good job putting in the copyright disclaimer too.

i really likes narukami's scream in the game when he awakes his persona for the first time don't know why they didn't put it on here tho

He treated those things like practice

0:46 i love that sound

This. This was the first scene from Persona that I had ever seen. Still one of the best

izanagi is my prefer persona

Still think it would've been cooler if they played the awakening theme from Persona 4.

I am thou, thou art me, WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY!!!!🎉

Seriously, why can't A1-Pictures make P5A as faithful as P4A?

1:12 Yu: Not enough, hm? Persistent, stubborn freaks... They don't know when to give up. This is what I'd think Yu would say (If he was like that)

The biggest Chad in the world. Ichigo narukami is just the absolute best pimp

Persona 4: Friendship is unbreakable

If u look closly izanagi has only 4 fingers took me a while to notice that

yosuke in this scene of anime almost shitted himself asking himself if yu is really an ally or an enemy, also 1:12 when yu killed this shadow and appeared standing with the head set down the mf looked so much like the final boss

I love how Izanagi is just Yu trying to sound intimidating.

Golden animation seems to have more umph.

Bakugan?

BoxOfChickenTenders can you please upload the full fight of shadow chie in english dub?

This scene rocks, so many cool shots.

Bro the chills I got from this scene

0:40-0:48 : CRAZY DIAMOND

Amazing scene :)

1:36 is a pretty cool shot. It shows off how big Izanagi is. Plus the lighting and colors are on point.

The first series which introduced me to persona franchise. At first I was like...Ok typical slice of life anime then Yu,Yosuke and Chie went to tv me...what happens Yu unlocks his persona Super cool!Need to watch it!

When o saw this for the first time, I was wondering why izanagi looked like a character from Bleach, only to hear MC voice and was like....IT IS ICHIGO FROM BLEACH!!
