Persona 4 The Animation is an anime television series based on PlayStation 2 video game, Persona 4. The story revolves around Yu Narukami, a young teenager who moves to the town of Inaba, where a mysterious string of murders is taking place. Upon discovering a distorted TV World and acquiring a mysterious power known as Persona, Yu and his friends decide to investigate the murders and save others from being killed. However, as persona 4 is an adaptation from the game and there are also many other series, watching this anime without knowing the game will leave many unanswered questions. Here are 7 unexplained things if we watch Persona 4 for the first time: Velvet Room The Velvet Room is a room located between consciousness and subconsciousness which is commonly featured in the Persona series. It often manifests itself differently in the game, but it is always covered in blue velvet and hosted by Igor. The purpose of the Velvet Room is always to manage Personas and use them in Fusion.

Igor Igor is a mysterious, long-nosed gentleman who resides in the Velvet Room, which takes place in an unknown dimension and has the shape of a limousine. Igor reads Yu's fortune in the beginning and later gives his advice. His purpose is to assist Yu in acquiring new powers and Personas. Following Izanami's defeat, Igor leaves Yu to see the original form from the TV world, satisfied with his journey's conclusion. Margaret Margaret is a woman who works as Igor's assistant. She appears alongside him in the Velvet Room, supporting Yu, replacing her sister Elizabeth when she leaves on a journey. After meeting her alone, she asks Yu to create a particular Persona using a certain fusion type skill, as a euphemism for drawing out corresponding aspects of Yu's personality. She seems very composed and dignified at first glance, although she actually has a silly and whimsical sense of humor.

Eventually the group manages to find him in the TV World and save him from being killed by his Shadow. Claiming he was responsible for all murders in Inaba to get people's attention, Mitsuo is taken away by the authorities. Due to the fact the kidnappings do not cease after his capture, the group then comes to the conclusion he was a copycat killer and is in fact mentally unstable.
