Golden is about the story of Marie and her journey to find her memories, a great slice of life anime with a little bit of that persona video game action. Not an all-rounder but it'll make you feel good inside especially the last episode. I wouldn't say you should avoid watching this if you have not played the game or watched Persona 4: The Animation, It's a different story on its own but it does have some spoilers but its not blatantly obvious. What really got me was that the animation is top-notch; it was like it was from those cut scenes from the game itself. Thestory does get stale after so many iterations coupled with such rushed pacing but somehow it always compels me to watch it again and again. Recommended if you want something beautiful to admire or just to have something new to watch.
