Awww finally <3 I can't wait for it! It took me around 118 hours to finish the game last May. Let's see how A-1 Pictures delivers us the story and characterisations and which demons, err, personas we will see! They usually deliver good stuff when it comes to adaptions, so I think we should be fine with this studio.

Liked the Persona 4 anime. Persona 4 the Golden, not so much. Persona 3 movies weren't too bad but still....

So kinda iffy on this but that hasn't stopped me from watching something before.

I hoped, that they announce enhanced edition at first, then anime. Game is have plenty of animated scenes, so just add 30-minutes of animated scenes, make some additional events (Like sports festival. I mean, there is only like one time when characters are in sports uniform in the school), and anime is not needed. But i'll see it coming (Get it? It's fresh joke.I just change words of...Ah, whatever) because even special sold out pretty well. And i liked animated scenes by Production I.G. in game, but it's have been almost inevatable that A-1 will animate Persona 5.

The games is truly fantastic, one of my top 10 games of all time but I don't know if this anime will be good, there's like 90 hours of main story, if they try to fit it in 24-26 episodes, it will be a mess, and since it's A1 Pictures we are talking about, they are going to do that.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
Play the game. This anime will definitely not be a substitute for it.

As someone else pointed out, this is a 90+ hour game that will be condensed into 12 episodes. It's simply impossible to fit any meaningful scenes into that space. I can almost guarantee they'll mess up the reveal of the villain, too. The writing of the story is completely different from Persona 4's to the point where making it a proper anime would already be somewhat difficult unless you were following the game to a T.

edit: even if they do a two cour (which isn't likely, if we look at how they handled previous adaptations), 24 episodes is only 8 hours. Yes, I realize 90+ hours comes somewhat from the dungeon crawling aspect of the game. However, as someone who has completed the game 100%, I can say that the time comes mostly from listening to dialogue, as most of the game is fully voice acted. This is not something you can just "skip" in an anime, like you can with a video game/VN.


It doesn't matter anyway on my case. I already watched P5's gameplays scattering around on Youtube.

I have my reason why I don't want to play P5, gameplay-wise.

Looks like I'm going to have to skip this one until I finish the game. I doubt it'll be any good considering that it's A-1 Pictures and the mediocre streak with the previous Persona anime (except the final P3 movie). The bad news is that I won't be able to root for best girl Ann who is voiced by based Nana Mizuki (assuming that she reprises her role in the anime).

Here's why I'm not looking forward to this.

A-1 Pictures somehow manages to make Persona fights BORING. Watch any of the fights from Persona 4 The Animation or even the recent Persona 5 Day Breakers. All the sound effects are muted to hell. Why? Why do they intentionally reduce the impact when these affairs should be loud and exciting?

Not to mention that for whatever reason, despite how successful the Persona series is, Atlus seems content to let A-1 Pictures' B-team take the lead. A-1 Pictures is capable of making some great animation (e.g. Erased) don't get me wrong, but their handling of Persona has historically been lackluster with choppy animation, awkward pauses, and unexciting action sequences.

This is exactly what I felt was wrong with the Persona 4 animations. I don't get why Persona 3 got four movies, but the subsequent entries can barely get a proper episode count. Atlus is just weird.

Oh God... A-1 Pictures...

They already ruined Ace Attorney so I feel sober sense of anger filling my heart just knowing they'll be handling this one...

Really, they gotta stop rellying on title/brand alone to earn their money.

They'll already going to earn plenty just by this being Persona 5, but if they put real effort and do this right they'll be gaining fountains of money for a while, so they have zero excuse to cheap out on it.

If they screw up, that would be akin to confirming their incompetence to the entire world once and for all.

100+ hours of gameplay and story will probably be crammed into a measly 24 episodes (8 hours) of anime.

Just fuck my favorite RPG up, A1. It happened to Gyakuten Saiban. Why not here too?

Considering that they gave Ace Attorney a two cour anime adaptation (despite the fact that even the combined length of the first two games doesn't even amount to half of Persona 5's length) I would still say there's a high chance of them doing two cours... Though it's not going to matter much in the end if they end up treating P5 the same way they handled Ace Attorney.

It was a matter of moments before an anime was announced, especially given to the reception of the games and its praised.

To me I'm still debating two things for now:

1. Whether I go through an Lets Play of the game itself (because I've done this with some degree towards Rewrite as well as Danganronpa but its tedious as fuck to go through)

2. Or I'll stay in this as one of those secondaries that will have no knowledge of the source material. Like, at all.

I'm going to lean to the second one mostly because this game is apparently 80 hours, which unless I followed it previously from some YouTubers or get to it faster, I don't see myself going through that. Especially given how for me it took me 4-5 months to get through the main route via fucking YouTube, and few chapters in a matter of weeks which is outright tedious to go through.

Not to mention I don't have the console for the game (Pretty sure its PS4) and the ONLY way I can actually get through that would be to ask my cousin to borrow the console, and even then I have to earn a lot of money to get that shit, so no thank you.

Play the game. This anime will definitely not be a substitute for it..


Depending on the person in question and the reasons (which I think Tennouji has said which is I don't know, looking it up right now) either they can or cannot. I just simply can't due to past experience with games when I had to go through YT and I can't buy the game anyways no matter what way or another I can go through, it's simply impossible for me.

For me (in my circumstances) its simply tedious. If it took me 4 months to get through Rewrite's Common Route on YouTube and compared to actually playing it (which I can easily just download it somewhere) which I finished it faster, then I can't simply do it here, especially since its something that should be played by the user since its usually a much more enjoyable experience compared to not actually playing it, which I cannot get my hands on due to limitations. And even if I don't go through YT, I can't simply get it easily (given to my economic state here and how GameStop closed in PR which is the nearest to get games).

Oh so PS3 too? Alright then.

Now that you mentioned that I just remembered my friend had a PS3 (unfortunately we don't live nearby, we're in different countries Lol).

But yeah if it gets emulated depending on the size itself for the game I might try to consider it. But still I'm going to lean in the second option. It's more of debating whether I should have knowledge, or jump with none from the source. I don't really know on my decisions so far.

@Wasshio You could always play the game after you've watched the anime. Of course it's not the ideal option but it's still better than nothing.

@wasshio yeah well that's up to the viewer in the end, but it really sits in the same corner as Rewrite where there's absolutely too much to cover for it to be a decent adaptation. Too much stuff happens. A lot of the transitions between plot elements will be sudden and confusing, I believe. If you really can't get a copy of P5, I would stay away from the anime since it will only succeed in spoiling the experience. Up to you (and whoever else is reading) whether that matters, I suppose.

Maaaybe it would be risky because of what you said earlier but well for me I guess I don't really mind spoilers? (Maybe that would sound contradicting) unless I REALLY, REALLY do not want to know about the contents or future events of a series at all.

The game's fastest clear is 18 hours, after cutting out all the dialogue and movies. That's about how much actual game play makes up that 90ish hours which is already a very fast play speed in general. (quite a number of people report 100+ or even 110+.)

However
I really must say the story is so predictable that you probably would be able to guess who the villain is just by looking at them, and how much exposure they get in the story. Spoiling it isn't exactly that damaging since the plot isn't really trying to hide who the villain(s) is.

Really really up to you. I'm being lenient compared to Rewrite where I pretty much felt like smacking people who said it was a substitute for the VN.

Honestly, I'm on the fence here...

After the massive fuck up with what was Occultic;Nine, which has a similar theme to Persona 5 by the way [1][2], I have doubts that A-1 Pictures can do justice with their Persona 5 anime series.
