I was pleasantly surprised by this episode, this anime might prove to be quite interesting. Looks like it will be a keeper.

and wich one has the right translation :P? They all have different saying...like a fan fiction.
The voting for the groups seems very suspicious also. Whats the point having it when other groups just do minuses to competition.

The series is very cool tho. Shin and megumi are very likable together.

Oh wow, that was nice. Good game adaptations (or should I even call it that?) are hard to come by. I never played Persona 3, but I did play Persona 2, and I loved it. I like what they did with the personas in this anime. The art is pretty good, the characters are interesting, the OP is amazing. This certainly has my interesting. I wonder if characters from the game will appear or be mentioned.

Just got around to watching the first ep. It was meh for me, I was expecting more from all the hype it was getting before it came out, oh well. It does look like it can get better thou, was the first episode after all. I'll see~

Hmm. Finally went to watch the first episode. I haven't finished Persona 3 yet (actually I'm not too far in) although I can recognize some of the homages like the guy from the Velvet room. I cry over the fact that there are no evokers though. That would of made it much cooler...

Most of the episode was pretty flat I would say. But eh, could have been worse. Least they got the music right. Hopefully this picks up. *gose to watch episode 2*

Oh right and I'm like SY. I thought Jun was a girl for... most of the episode. Until they made it plain obvious that he was a guy. -.-

I think most people thought Jun was a girl. Since he looks like a girl, is named Jun, and doesn't sound very masculine.

Also known as Monster in a box, but I hate that handle...and it doesn't fit here.

Yeah I thought Jun was a girl at first too, and when he started talking to himself I thought "uhh... k, right, whatever dude! xD", from the moment he had that dress before him, even.
As for the rest, I haven't played the game either, but I read the manga which has absolutely nothing in common with this and seems more like a real adaptation of the game from what I heard about it. Episode was a bit... flat. Decent, but flat. Oh well, I'll have to watch the couple of next episodes to really decide if I'm gonna watch it until the end or not. :) Ah, I stick to SS, since I liked their subs on Ergo Proxy and Noein, I hope they'll be as good.

Yeah, the manga is an actual adaptation of the game. This is not. This is like some... odd sequel.

I have seen better first episodes but this was by no means a bad start. I am interested to learn more about this story because I have yet to play the game. I definitely will watch more and hopefully it stays good and doesn't make a turn for the worse. O.O

I decided to start watching this because so far the verdict seems that it isn't that bad.... I actually haven't already played the video games or anything, but it's easy to understand anyway. I liked this episode and I plan on watching more. The ending theme was really weird though?

They even have a nice homage to the game. You can hear one of the BGM from Persona 3 playing in the background during the restaurant scene.


Yeah =) i really enjoyed that scene ^^ First episode was like playing the game for the first time...you don't know what the hell is going on and just slip inside :D

it actually doesn't get interesting till like 3 and on. they don't explain anything right away.

on another note, the theme music reminds me of Read or Die TV.

Conspicuous CG.
Boring characters.
Boring story.
Boring animation.
Boring boredom.

Why do things like this happen?

Wow thought Jun was a girl until Shin said he is his brother, I fell for the trap....
I wonder how this anime-original series is going to be a sequel to Persona 3 outside the Apathy Syndrome thing

After finishing the P3 game I was wondering how the sequel spin-off would be, kinda slow so far but I like the dark ambiance, MC awakening his persona already
