I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This could be interesting. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| Can't deny it, I'm hyped. |
 |
| You'll truly never see it coming.... :) |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| I hope the quality is just the same as Persona 4 tv series not the golden one. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Super excited! Hope the anime does justice to the game |
 |
| Wow I really hope it's a decent adaptation, can't say I'm not hyped. |
| do you have to watch the other persona anime to watch this? |

| That was fast. Beware the pancake. |
| I'll never see see it coming! Nah, no. Just kidding, just after daybreaker OVA I know it will eventually get TV series. I hope P5 Anime get same seiyuu as the game. Edited : It is :D |

| Pretty loved and enjoyed most of the Persona shows I've seen so far, will watch this as well. Looking forward to it for sure. |
 |
| can't wait to hear about an EVIL ADULTS again, this time in anime |
| Uhh okay Video game adaptations rarely tend to turn out well though.. |
  |
| Hopefully the MC picks best girl and not leave anyone hanging like in Persona 4. No one plays a mainstream Persona games and not pick a girl, it's bible at this point, yet they don't want to include it in the anime. |
 |
| Persona 5 is a filler fest, so compressed version should be good. I hope. |
| As long as Last Surprise plays once every episode, then this we be lit. Given how long the game has been out, I truly never saw this coming. |
 |
| I wasn't really impressed with the special, so I hope this is going to be better. |
| Knew it would come someday. Good for the fans. I'll definitely give this a try too. |
 |
| I quite enjoyed P4 anime so I would go for another one but seeing as it's going to be made by A1... to say the least it will probably look as bland and anime can get with really lazy fight animation. Not really something that you would want from Persona anime I guess. Even A1 can get out of their bland safe zone of mediocrity and make something decent like Grimgar by accident so maybe it will happen again. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Hope the MC goes for the best grill teacher. |
 |
| so there is a waifu war .... interesting count me in best girl wins or 0/10 |
 |
| I want to watch him sweat his way through the burger challenge 60fps. |
And who are you rooting for BTW :D? |
"Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"-- -- |
Futaba Sakura ofc |
|
| Having already beaten the game a few weeks ago, I'm VERY happy that Persona 5 will be getting a TV animation series. As long as it has a 2-cour run and with consistent animation from A-1, then I'll be satisfied. =) |
| This has made me so happy FUTABA BEST GIRL |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The game's visual style probably won't translate well into anime, at least I don't remember Daybreakers being the level of stylistic that the game was unless they change it up for the anime and that's not something I see A-1 doing, the opening maybe. Though we still need more details on production. |
| I knew this was coming, but why... Can't wait to watch A-1 defile yet another Persona game for a quick buck. |

| an't even mad expected this stuff from all the name copyrights shown a few months ago as long as it's as enjoyable like p4 for the fans we good ,no way they can fix 90+ hours in a 2 cour without a some rushing time to see ma girl Makato and Becky ! also as always A-1 is a roll of dice unless you know the people working on it . |

| YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING |
| i'm excited for this, i love the game Makoto is best girl |
| Good thing it'll be adapted so I won't need to play the game. |
 |
| I'm excited! Not because of the anime, but because we'll be getting a canon name for the MC. That being said, we'll probably get that once the unavoidable Persona 5 Dancing All Night comes out XD I would've said "You'll never see it coming" here, but I did see this coming. A-1 did a decent job with the Persona 3 movies, but messed up the Golden anime. Ehh, as long as it's 2 cour, they can get through the story. Tbh, there's not much story to cover since main story moments come ever so often. As long as they adapt Morgana forcing the MC got to sleep, or the MC "button-mashing" Morgana, I'll be satisfied with the adaptation. They should adapt the game like how I play it, romancing all of the female characters... only to get trashed on Valentine's Day XD Also, please don't make the character designs as shitty as it was in the special. |

| Loved the game and i hope the anime lives up to it! |
Tennouji said: I seriously hope you guys don't do this.Good thing it'll be adapted so I won't need to play the game. Play the game. This anime will definitely not be a substitute for it. As someone else pointed out, this is a 90+ hour game that will be condensed into 12 episodes. It's simply impossible to fit any meaningful scenes into that space. I can almost guarantee they'll mess up the reveal of the villain, too. The writing of the story is completely different from Persona 4's to the point where making it a proper anime would already be somewhat difficult unless you were following the game to a T. edit: even if they do a two cour (which isn't likely, if we look at how they handled previous adaptations), 24 episodes is only 8 hours. Yes, I realize 90+ hours comes somewhat from the dungeon crawling aspect of the game. However, as someone who has completed the game 100%, I can say that the time comes mostly from listening to dialogue, as most of the game is fully voice acted. This is not something you can just "skip" in an anime, like you can with a video game/VN. |

SupremeEdgelord said: Manga name is almost never the canon name. P4's MC was called Souji Seta in the manga, but the anime and spin-off games called him Yu Narukami. P3's MC was called Minato Arisato in the manga, but the anime called him Makoto Yuuki. That being said, Atlus never made a spin-off game for Persona 3, so maybe Makoto isn't the true canon name. GoldenDevilGamer said: I'm excited! Not because of the anime, but because we'll be getting a canon name for the MC. The MC has already a canon name, Akira Kurusu. |
|
| It was just a matter of time, I knew this was coming. Hopefully they won't screw up the adaptation. |
  🔥You're looking at someone🔥 🔥Who is superior to you🔥 🔥You have my permission to🔥 🔥Bask in my glow🔥 |
| I want to watch this. But i need to play the game first. Or at least watch a let's play of it. |
| I can't say I didn't see this coming, but man... I have mixed feelings about this! On one hand, I really want to see my favorite characters appear in animated form and see one of my favorite video games be adapted into a proper TV series and I do like how the PV looks... BUT on the other hand, I don't see how they're going to be able to cram 100+ hours of gameplay into a 24 episode TV series without rushing things, especially since this game has more content than both P3 and P4. What bothers me the most is that A–1 pictures of all studios are adapting this, they did a decent job with the P3 movies but Persona 4 Golden The Animation was nothing short of a catastrophe and they've got too many shitty shows under their belt overall in order for me to be able to trust them. Paul said: I agree with this, not to mention that the art style looked weird. Some of the characters looked okay (e.g. Anne) but both Akira and Akechi looked extremely weird. I don't understand why they couldn't just get Production I.G. to adapt the game instead because the art style was much better.The game's visual style probably won't translate well into anime, at least I don't remember Daybreakers being the level of stylistic that the game was unless they change it up for the anime and that's not something I see A-1 doing, the opening maybe. Though we still need more details on production. |
