Synopsis

At the stroke of midnight, the Dark Hour appears—a secret hour which most are unaware of. Those not trapped in coffins during this time, unfortunate enough to find themselves conscious, are met by dangerous creatures known as Shadows. A select few, however, possess the potential to wield Persona: a special power used to defeat these beings. This secret group is called SEES (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad), and their mission is to uncover the reason behind the Dark Hour's appearance.

Only a short while after transfer student Makoto Yuuki begins his residency at Iwatodai Dorm, his Persona awakens after an attack by a strong Shadow. Now recruited into the ranks of SEES, he begins fighting alongside his comrades, as only they can protect humanity from Shadows and prevent the anomaly that is the Dark Hour.

For someone who has played the game and then watches this anime, it becomes clear that they are cutting out a lot of the parts where you typically spend time with friends, other people, and doing various activities in the game. This is because the movie primarily focuses on what truly matters to the plot and storyline. What I'm trying to say is that, as an anime for fans, they are doing good fan service but for someone who has zero knowledge of Persona 3 and is coming to watch this movie, it might seem average or even bad. The story moves very fast, and ...

Mixed Feelings
Being the first quarter of the story, things were bound to move pretty slowly, but you can definitely tell they tried to rush through a lot of stuff. We speed through a lot of the monthly events with little regard for anything else. Makoto's character is interesting in this, a lot more emo than I thought they would do, but if done right I can see it developing well over the 4 movies. Despite its rushed pacing and lack of standout moments, "Spring of Birth" sets the stage for potential character development, particularly with Makoto's intriguing portrayal. While it may not be anything extraordinary on ...

This presents the world the story will be set in... and that's it. No character development, not even presentation. No plot. No nothing. It's just some scenes put one after the other. Not even good scenes either.

The world the story (which doesn't exist in this movie) will be set in, is one with a 'pocket' of time (reminiscent of tales from the fairy, I would guess), and with some gifted youths that are able to use the 'persona', which it's a reminiscent of avatars (like in some ancient indian or egyptian mythologies). That was the only interesting aspect of this waste of time.

P.S.: Be careful ...
