Larryb posted:Not a bad start, don't remember if they were in the game or not but I did like the little P4 references they threw in (they referenced Naoto early on and there was a poster of Rise later in the same scene). I've enjoyed all the other Persona anime they've put out (though Trinity Soul and Golden a bit less than the others) so I'll definitely be following this. There are references to the other games in P5 but mostly on the TV and I think you'd have to have some extreme OCD to check the TV every single day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naCpY2Fze84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61yC5uo4w94

I really hope the Palace segments are really heist oriented instead of just animating the P5 crew fighting shadows until a confrontation with the boss occurs. Same complaint I had with the game, except theres no need to make dungeons for the player to traverse in a cartoon so they should be able to play up the Phantom Thief elements more.

Anime tends to have no-OP/ED pilots. Life Will Change next week possibly, this is at least a decent watch after the game.

They should do it like Pokemon where he only gets about 5 personas and spends an entire episode helping Jack Frost so he doesn't melt then asking if he wants to leave the other Jack Frosts and join him on his adventure.

Does anyone know if there are plans to dub this? I'm okay with subs, although I'm so accustomed to the dub that several voices just feel off, but a friend really would prefer to watch it dubbed, partly because of the same reasons, partly because he's a dub watcher in general. Were the previous anime dubbed? Also the only real complaint I have about this episode is that the batshit insane post-Awakening grin wasn't quite as good as in the game but that's a minor complaint and it's a good grin regardless, even if it looks more composed than the "gonna destroy and/or steal your poo poo" grin from the games. Still, if it keeps up like this, I think it'll be a good adaptation, adding small but not insignificant bits of foreshadowing was a good idea. Maybe this'll get me to actually finish my second playthrough, I left after I realized that I had to get that loving fishing trophy and it was beyond annoying.

The director of this show, Masashi Ishihama, is really good and I'm honestly more interested in watching this than i was before like these sequential matching mirror shots that have Symbolism

I spent last spring/summer playing through the game, and I love how closely this show is sticking to it. I also didn't realize how much I miss the music.

Am I crazy or is the flashback sound when Ren remembers the Shido attack around a third of the way through just the Bloodborne reawakening at the lamp noise?

I could see them doing something like animating the bad endings from the time limit expiring as an episode.

That sounds plausible and really awful to view considering some of the bad ends. I feel the two people who have actually put spoilers up are correct, myself. Either that or the Haru thing. Edit: An actual big surprise that would be cool is Naoto actually showing up and maybe having a mini-arc as the "villain", all things considered.

I mean, Akechi shows up from time to time but hes never chasing you fist raised in the air as you get away. Hes barely relevent until like the sixth out of seven dungeons! The game really needed some more stuff like that. And I said it earlier in the thread, but more of a heist focus instead of a combat focus for the Palace sections would be awesome.

Yeah going into it I thought that Akechi was going to be the foil to you guys and the honest cop that was chasing you because he believed in the system not knowing it was corrupt. Having him join your crew and then immediately betray you being the real killer was not as interesting since as you said there's no REAL investigator going after you. Akechi knew early on that you were the Phantom Thieves and was only pretending to be fooled so there was no one really trying to catch you until the very end and at that point it was just generically the police as all the human antagonists had been dealt with. The fact the game had so many revisions over the years of development really showed with ideas that seemed at odds with each other so I wouldn't have a real problem if they deviated with the show. I personally don't like Naoto but if they changed it so that Akechi wasn't the killer or something and I wouldn't be sad about it. I'd rather that than just playing it exactly the same way but he is redeemed after you fight him and survives as the SHOCKING twist.

As an anime-only viewer going in pretty much blind, I have to admit that this premiere episode alienated me more than it interested me, but I'm going to stick with it for now because I've seen so much praise for the game itself. Pretty much no idea what I'm in for, so this'll be a ride!

I think we could see both Haru and Akechi joining the thieves properly earlier, I can picture them wanting more of the team together early instead of picking them up one at a time as you go through each of the palaces they're related to. Naoto for instance felt like they were in the party a super long time in P4 and was super memorable despite being the last addition, and Haru never gave off that vibe to me. Between the two Akechi joining at like, palace 3 or 4 would be super interesting, I'd love to have him on board from the start of Futaba's palace, but there are plenty of plot reasons to make that difficult so who knows. I'd be all for getting those cheap fanservice pops by having P4 characters show up, or to see Joker bust out the signature P4 personas of the different characters at a climactic moment. Glad to see those little twists added though, stuff like Yu's King's game in P4 and other moments it was clear he was on a NG+ stat wise were a real highlight to me.

If the anime were paced like the game they never would have got to the castle in ep.1 and being an anime, they really needed to get to the castle in ep.1. I dug everything except for no Lupin run during the casino escape. Are they using a different VA for Kamoshida?

Still gonna check out the anime tho.

P5's story isn't terrible or anything, but it's not as smart or woke as it keeps trying to be, which is disappointing. It is, however, endlessly stylish, charming, and charismatic, and knows how to create atmosphere.

I guess that means I can keep putting it off for now. Still gonna check out the anime tho. The story has very good moments but it also shows that it went through a lot of revisions in its very problematic development cycle and the first case sets up a mood that isn't really followed upon. Nonetheless, it is far from terrible and is genuinely enjoyable, plus again, it has some very good hard-hitting moments, and even outside of them, it is very stylish. Characterization is mostly strong in Social Links although how much that'll affect the anime, I can't say. Hopefully they'll get some degree of spotlight since several of the game's really good characters are in them (Toranosuke, Hifumi, Shinya's hat) plus they flesh out the actual protagonists quite a bit, even if they feel disconnected from the story itself. The gameplay is super strong and by far the most polished of the series but that'll obviously have no implications whatsoever in an anime adaptation.

Nah, the Persona games have always been more about the characters interacting with each other than the overall plot.

I honestly don't see how this will work as an anime. After the first antagonist the interaction with the villains basically follows the formula of hear about bad dude, then grind through a dungeon until you reach the end and fight the boss. It's all in service to the gameplay. If they were to properly try to adapt it in to an interesting anime i honestly think several of the arcs should be cut entirely so the more interesting ones could be fleshed out, they feel like they are just there to pad the game out so you have more time to interact with the life sim and dungeon crawling aspects of the game. But that will never happen because you get a new party member for each dungeon and there would be riots is they cut them. At the very least they should keep Joker's persona to just Arsene as the wildcard thing is just a conceit for the gameplay so you can play pokemon with the demons. Speaking of Arsene, is the scene in Tokyo where time stops and Joker sees Arsene ever explained? It feels like it's from a previous draft of the game but they had already made the anime cutscene so decided to just stick it in anyway.
