| Game was great (and long as hell). Waiting for this, and for Panther ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Looking forward to it. |
    |
| They better do it good or else they ruin the adaptation of one of the best games of 2017! |
| I haven't finished the game yet... dear lord, probs won't even finish before it airs either. Still gonna watch tho. |
 |
| yes finally it's been so long what an amazing christmas present |
 ඞ |
| Finished the game and excited about remembering it :D |
 |
| Is there a mistake because D.Gray-Man's original creator's name is Katsura Hoshino and P5's creator's name is Katsura Hashino? |
| You have Hashino Katsura of Atlus confused with Hoshino Katsura. Typo on director's name, Ishihama. Personally excited now because Ishihama Masashi was Shinsekai Yori's director. |
 |
| Spring 2018 looking better and better. |
 |
| Persona shows are always great watch. Looking forward to this one as well. |
 |
| @pinky_candydive @komasan Sigh, fixed, Thanks. |

jc9622 said: Even with 25 episodes, I'm pretty sure this anime is going to be rushed. This game took me almost 120 hours to finish (so about 90-100 hours of story if I cut out the Mementos Requests). Persona 4 The Animation turned out quite fine at the end even though it was a bit rushed because the game's story was only 60 hours (Not counting the extra story content from Golden). Persona 5, however.....Hoo, boy. I'll just watch this show for fanservice and Makoto. P5 will need at least 50 episodes to be properly adapted and it probably won't get that many episodes, so this adaptation is fucked. |
|
| At the bare minimum this needs 2 cour (3-4 cour would be ideal), but for now I'm insanely excited. Makoto's best girl and our Queen. |

| Thats a pretty solid staff. And another one to add in my list to watch for spring 2018 ... jesus christ that season is stacked as fuck. But still, if they do it with only 2-cour ... boi this is going to be rushed as fuck. If it ends up disappointing, at least its going to be nice to see the gang animated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| welp lets see the first Persona anime that im gonna watch |
| Not really a fan of P4 the Animation, but it's a different staff anyway so it doesn't really matter, hopefully this one's gonna be good. Seeing my waifu Anne in animated form will be glorious~ |

| Though im really looking forward to the anime given how much i loved the game thats served as its source material a part of me does worry about how much they will have to cut out. Even with a full season of 24 episodes it will be hard to fit everything in. Still if they keep to the main plot and use the same cast hopefully it will be enough. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The staff is impressive and the PV is fan-fucking-tastically loyal to the game's art design. 2-cour would be really rushed considering that each palace would only get 3 episodes, when each palace might need 4-5 (and that's still stretching it). 3-cour would be ideal. Also, Spring 2018 is hype af. |
 |
| I have only one question. Only it seems to me that official art is similar to ChaosChild? |
 |
| Art seems good this time; looking forward to this! |
| And that's another show that's making the spring season soooo packed and exciting. =) Considering how big Persona 5 is, the very least that A-1 can do length-wise is a 2-cour adaptation. Either way, I hope the staff does a good job with the adaptation overall, as 5 is my favourite Persona of them all. |

anemonespotte said: But 24 episodes also feels a bit too little. That means that each palace will only get 3 episodes. Imagine the Kamoshida arc being done in 3 episodesGoldenDevilGamer said: Finishing the game in 30 hours means that you'll need to skip all dialogues and story moments. but there is no gameplay in animes, so 24 episodes will be enough. it could get even boring if they dont do it well And let's say that Madarame's arc gets 3 episodes too. Honestly, each palace should get at least 4 episodes, and one episode to bridge the arcs together. And that's still cutting out all the fun character moments and social links confidants. Honestly, this anime might need at least 39 episodes. |

| Director of shinsekai yori. Promising |
| staff looks good, bUT WHY THE NAME CHANGE? I've been playing through P5 with MC's name as Akira Kurusu THE INCONSISTENCY STRESSES ME OUT but the other name isn't bad, in fact it's quite cute? I'm honestly just here for my girl Futaba. |
