Blu-ray's Jeffrey Kauffman was initially sceptical about the plot until the revelation of the supernatural and wondered how appealing would be the case's outcome.
A reviewer from T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews noted that while the pacing and the animation often had issues ' Persona 4: The Animation is about as good an adaptation of the video game as you could hope for'. Consistent praise was given to the characterization of the silent protagonist from the video game which involved being a deadpan snarker as well as his development across the series that made him a more fleshed character.Critical reaction to the second anime series has been mixed with critics finding it would appeal only to fans of the original series. They have also agreed Marie lacks the appeal of the other major recurring characters who are more popular within the fandom. Retrieved August 22, 2014.
