It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community.

Oh so 24-25 episodes then? Hmm. I haven't played the game, but at the same time I want to ask if that would be enough for the series to be at least alright on its own?

Ehh, the Persona 4 anime barely passed pacing wise, and that was 2 cours. In all honesty, 36-39 episodes is ideal for Persona 5, with every dungeon taking up 3 episodes (setting up villain in one episode, infiltrating the palace the next episode, boss fight and after math in the next episode), and then one episode between each dungeon to adapt anything that happens in between the "arc" while covering some Confidants.

Pretty much confirms 24 episodes. Now lets see how they will animate the series.

Oh and this represents Atlus and A1 with the DVDs

If you mean the cow I meant the news about the DVDs lol. I am actually glad they are animating 24 episodes rather than 12 or 13.

Ah, I misunderstood then :P

Yes. But to not rush P5, a 100% adaptation had to be around 40-70 episodes. And that was not a realistic hypothesis

I guess?...the game's story is about 90 - 100 hours long so we already know this series is going to be rushed. What I don't know is how much important points are they going to skip.

Persona 5–I would say—is comprised of 50-60 hours of story-related gameplay with another 50-60 hours dedicated to side plots and confidants. If they do a decent job at adapting it, they could possibly fit most of the important parts.

Seems fine tbh. The story itself isn't that long and it lasts hours because of the gameplay mechanics and stuff.

So basically they're most likely going to skip some stuff but nobody knows how much it'll take.

Hmm. Well, either way, I would say I'm interested tbh/ But it seems better than just 1 cour I guess.

Persona 4 with around 80-90 hours long have 25+1 Episode. Persona 5 wiht 100+ hours long deserved more episodes. But i think they will make dungeon shorter than what we feel in the game or focus just on few confidant. Because i don't want they cut/ rush important story

Based on the preview... it looks like they just made an anime out of the cut scenes in the game.... in which case, I'm good... It's just like the game Catherine. Except you can watch the whole movie on YouTube.

An adaptation doesnt need to cover every minor detail ffs what do ppl have with wanting a carbon copy of their source. Thats literally not how any form of media worked since forever. This expectation is not only ludicrous but delusional. I just want them to capture the essence of the story, get the best out of it, and flesh out the characters well. Ive seen 3 part ovas that can do that so a 24 episode series done right can def feel dense and full of life. Looking at the 6 min preview its already stylish as all hell! Shinsekai Yori director will do wonders with this series.

Exactly what I thought.
To further add on to your points, they expected the animation style from the game (Production I.G) to be the same as A-1 pictures, both studios have different style. In the first six minutes, they managed to capture the introduction of the game without wasting any time plus does not feel like anything has been cut off.

I think its not much of a problem doing a 1:1 adaption but it does resort to restrains to what the people working on it want to do with it that can easily convey the same as the original writing but in visuals.

I think as long as a show conveys it even if they miss minor details it would be possibly fine.

I am anticipated for it that's for sure btw. Since in 6 minutes I already got really engaged with it to be fairly honest, and that's a good thing.

Nothing really different from P4.

But either way, I'm still expecting there's someone might complain about the adaptation, just like what happened to P4 despite being 2-cour.

Persona 5 needs at least 36 episodes in order to be adapted properly. Still better than 12 episodes though

People have hope. The director of the show is none other than the director of Shinsekai Yori, arguably A-1's best show ever. So, I expect at least a decent adaptation, even one of the better ones imo. But yeah 100 hours of gameplay put in 9-10 hours of anime is kinda hard. Hope they do not butcher the comedy and characters. Also who hopes for Morgana to be insistent on going to sleep everytime Joker goes anywhere? I will lmao.

The fact that everyone praises A-1 pictures only for Shinsekai Yori, a show I didn't like at all, doesn't really put me at ease haha...
I was hoping for at least 30 episodes. Argue that they don't have to adapt everything all you want, P5 is a game with an incredibly long main story and a huge part of it is also the extra story from confidants. They'll barely be able to squeeze the main story in there (P4 had 25 episodes and struggled, and P4 is a shorter than P5), let alone take a bit time to develop some characters more.
Well, it's still better than 13 episodes. Can't wait to see Akechi animated ♡ And what kind of personality they give Ren.

The one he had in the game: calm and collected as Ren, cocky and badass as Joker.
