I gave it a 9/10, the visuals were neat and the story was refreshingly new, the characters were enjoyable and overall it was a good experience. It's not fantastically ground-breaking, but you should definitely try it.

The only problem I could see with it was that it had a rather convoluted story in my opinion, though that probably added to its charm. Nearly every episode had me scratching my head at the end and scrambling for the next episode.
I kinda warmed up to the penguins but I'm a little disappointed that they were only used as background events.

Well, that's their entire purpose. They're intangible objects that serve to reflect the change of relationships, and show the "true feelings" of the person they represented. Kanba showing his tough exterior while his penguin exhibited his base emotions of love and caring, if in extreme perverse ways.

As for how the story was delivered, I think that's a matter of preference - I like stories where the answers aren't always obvious or given in the next episode.

Also trying to find that image, but I think Cafall or princess brothel might have to supply it, can't find it on my external hdd.

Aaaaaahhh.
I kind of half-hate, half-love that feeling I get when I finish a series. A part of me says "Man, that was so goooood" and the other whines about not being able to watch more of it.
It's an odd mixture of feeling satisfied and left empty, in a way.

Hrm. Persona 4 is nice, but I can't help but notice some moments that were obviously pulled from the game. It's kind of jarring seeing an entire arcana line compressed into one episode.

Also does the protagonist ever develop a personality higher than a block of wood?

Hey, they actually gave the guy some personality.
With the whole king's game bit and his cute little paper crane habit.
Also, the 'arcana line' compressed into one episode- I assume you're talking about episode 14? All of those scenarios were written just for the anime. I thought it was really cool how they tied everything together.

There's some, but he's very very quiet and when he does talk it's a single sentence or less. Quirks don't make a personality.

And I was more mentioning Episode 5 with the basketball manager. Dunno, seemed like an arcana line taken straight from the game. On Episode 6 right now.

i assume he's pretty blank in the animu because it's an adaptation of a role-playing game in which his personality is entirely chosen by the player

If you're only on ep 6, then just keep going. They try and show personality like it is in the game, where doing certain things will increase your smarts and courage and stuff, so his personality grows with each episode. It shouldn't be too much longer before his swag becomes uncontrollable. King's game is pretty outrageous.

The P4 protag is a polite and quiet guy. He's got a very strange sense of humor. He's occasionally pretty oblivious to some things, and while the player is still developing his attributes, he has difficulty saying how he feels or what he things because he doesn't have enough courage.
Throughout the game the player can level up his understanding and other attributes that help the protagonist with his social links.
He's pretty distant in the beginning (think about his situation, new town, new family, serial murders) but as the year goes on more aspects of his personality show through, and he gets to be pretty lively when he develops some confidence.
At least he's not as bad as Minato from P3.

P3 protag put the smackdown on someone during a kendo tournament so he's cool in my book. Granted that would never fly in a real one but it was absolutely hilarious at the time.

I have no problem with silent protagonist in a game. But anime is different. I'm already going to press on because I find the other characters interesting, I just also like the main character to grow which you've said he does already.
