| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was a weird ending. Both Jun and Ryou come back from the whale only Ryou comes back dead, clearly because he already died on that snow mountain. I'm still left with loads of questions that where not answered at all and new ones. 1) do people still have persona's now? 2) Was the whale pissed off because of Ayane's dad creating man made Persona's or was it pissed off because normal people had personas? 3) What was the Whale? People disappear into it and we still have no clue what it is or what it looks like or if its man made. 4) Was Shin's sword made from his parents strong will to correct what they had done wrong or was it created by something else? We hear Ryou say something about the sword and then we hear something else about Shin's strong will..bla bla. I wish they wouldn't dance around things like this. But overall I was happy with the ending, I just wish more was answered. |

| Good concliosion to a good series. 7/10 for both this episode and the series. It was nothing extraordinary but was enjoyable to watch throughout. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I have a suspicion I'm gonna have to rewatch the series to work out exactly what happened there. Nice ending though, from what I understood. |

| Yeah I probably have to rewatch it too. About your questions, Deathfire: 1 is only an assumption but I don't think personas still exist. 2 is probably both things you mentioned, since creating man-made personas resulted in normal people having personas. Not sure about 3 and 4. I liked the ending though, and the anime overall. 8/10 |

| Nope. This anime just didn't do it for me, at all. And it has nothing to do with me liking Persona or Persona 3 in general - I only just beat P3 a couple months ago. The anime itself is just a huge mess. Oh sure, there were a lot of parts that were good, but it didn't help save it. I don't care about any of the characters either quite frankly, or what messages they were trying to put out or the story they were telling. The ending felt reassuring, but at the same time empty and without closure. It wasn't terrible, but its definitely far from great. 6/10 |
| Liked this anime a lot. 8/10 Pretty strange ending though. |
 |
| Decent ending. I'm giving the series a 7/10 because it has its moments, but I honestly had no clue what was going on during the majority of the series. Maybe a later rewatch will change my score. |
     |
| Hmmm how come almost no problem is really resolved and few questions are answered and we all still liked this ending ? Hmmm I found it pretty interesting too and it was totally on par with the story, mysterious and more focused on the atmosphere than on the plot or the characters. Overall, it was a good to very good series, it should have deserved a 7,5 but seeing how the MAL system works, I can go with a 8/10. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Anyone else feel jipped at the end? I did. It seemed like the last episode was poorly put together, confusing, and left a lot of loose ends. I was hoping the last episode would sort of redeem the whole series, but, it didn't. As a whole, I think it was.... a little better than ok, maybe okie-dokie? I don't know. It was difficult to get below the basic story line for me. The characters weren't any better. But the animation was good, and through it all, I thought the good over shadowed the bad. I give it 7.3/10. |
 |
| Okay...someone will have to explain the ending to me, because I don't understand it at all. Would I understand it better if I play the game or something? All I understood was that Jun came back and Yuki isn't with him anymore. That's pretty much it. But I'm glad Ryou decided to not leave Shin alone. This means Ayane's gone for good, right? Mou, wakaranai. |
| It was good, but I can't say I really understood it all... I actually preferred the two episodes leading up to this one more, but it was still very enjoyable. I was relatively happy over the ending, even if we didn't have all the answers we wanted... In all, I actually liked the first half of the series more, when it seemed happier and a lot less confusing, but the second half was more dramatic and intense, which I really enjoyed as well. 7/10 |
  |
| Not sure what to think of the ending. it pretty much left me still confused, but w/e I enjoyed the series overall. gets a 7 from me. |
 |
| It was confusingly good xD I got a million and one unanswered Questions, but, I don't really want a second season. It might just confuse things alot more, if that's even possible. |
      |
| I really enjoyed the series but like the majority here I was dissapointed with the ending if it can so be considered an ending, since theire was nothing in it that made the series feel complete. They should of took out the 2+ minutes of showing the house at the very end and added actual plot to answer all the lingering questions. Oh and to whoever asked the question about Ayame and her apearing towards the end, I believe she lent Shin her powers and teleported him via her persona to where the battle was so he could protect their friends. |
 |
| I glad that the two of them are all happy and safe, but wtf happened to everyone else and the town lmao. Last few eps were pushing a 10 out of me but this ending is keeping it at a 8/9. Great series but end really took a lot out of it for me. |
 |
| I found this ending to be quite touching, actually. Sure they could've filled in many of the plotholes (right now the story still stands like swiss cheese to me) but at least I get the feeling that this ending has some value and they actually thought things through a bit. So I'm satisfied. |
 |
| A series I wanted to like for its unique plot, interesting characters, and a nice soundtrack. But the pacing and the way the story pieced together really ruined it for me. Especially how some episodes seemed to come out of nowhere and disappear just as fast, adding to the story but almost like it was optional... Still a 7 out of 10 from me, but it could have been so much better. |
| Run with the fishes! |
| The end of the final episode doesn't really show repercussions of what Shin chose to do. Ryou wanted to have all the artificially created personas destroyed so that they won't be able to be used for bad stuff anymore,m right? Then shin didn't want to lose his brothers and, in my opinion, forsake the world for his desires by stopping Ryou's plan from happening. Therefore, Personas still exist and bad people can keep doing their little experiments on it.That's what I got out of this ending. And then after that there was nothing to show what happened to the "whale", personas, or people that were suffering from apathy or had their personalities switched. Everything after the part where Shin sliced the "Whale" in half made the whole show a waste of time. P.S. I thought the "Whale" was a gathering of unconsciousness, as what's his name kept talking about the unconcious worl was getting out of whack and what not |
| w0w i cant accept this as the ending :( |
 |
| too much questions were left these whale feathers were playing on my nervs for whole time n' in the end i liked how it was finished |
| What happened to Morimoto? I think you see her or her persona save the others from the "whale" persona and then gone. She doesn't make any appearance at all. Confusing series, but I still liked it. 8/10 |
 |
| Only the last third part of this anime was interesting. But the end doesn't explain much. Well, we should be used to. Many filler or short animes end hastly and leaving a lot of questions. Loveless, Tenjou Tenge and Sukisho are some examples. But anyway, this part was well written. I enjoyed it, despite a lot of characters died, including Yamazaki-san. T_T So, I leave a 7/10. I don't know if I'll play Persona games someday. ... Oh, wait, I tested the 1st issue, but I got stuck on the beginning. And it's supposes that I'm a fan of jRPGs. [embarrassed] |
| What a bad end, how could they mess with Mamiko Noto? She was just trying to make people happy.=[ |

| I'm pretty annoyed that I am still confused, even after the final episode. I just can't seem to relate everything together, heck I don't even know what was the goal of Ayane. What happenned to Kujou/Komatsubara? He left with Jun and suddenly came back after? What did Morimoto have to do with Jun's Reappearance. And Yamazaki...Yamazaki! Why didn't she come back in the scenario? Its a 6 for me, Ill give a 7 for the touchy ending and the overall concept that I loved, although most of it didn't make sense for me, gotta admit I really didn't understand what was going on since Sanada came in the picture...he's still awesome though! =D |
| guys, is yuki stil stuck in jun body? |
| Ok so all in all I loved this Series, the only thing I really hated was the romance bits. Dammit can't I watch something without romance? Also the females left much to be desired, they were such boring shit's except for Megumi! Glad that Shin and Ryou made up although I'd have loved it if they hugged... Ryou is one of my favorite older brothers:) |
| No. No. I love Persona games, and I've been looking up and waiting patiently for something as awesome while watching this anime but I haven't seem to find any. I do love how calm and hazy the atmosphere is, it tones your mood down and gives you the classic, familiar, 'lonely' Persona feeling. A lot of potentially lovable characters and a storyline that could just be awesome. But why? Why it didn't turn out to be like so? I still don't get the way the characters are thinking, I mean, take the example of Ryou; I can never understand why he didn't actually tell the truth to his siblings and send them home peacefully. I still don't get the essence of Kujou's experiment. I don't get why Akihiko suddenly appeared in the middle of the series. I don't get why Jun is back and Yuki isn't. I don't get the whale, even Kaname. It's good to leave the audience wondering, but hey, isn't this a little too much? This last episode wasn't even blurting out enough. There are some good and original moments that I'm sure will be carved into my memory, and the soundtrack is some serious masterpiece, but that didn't save the series. Dragging plot and half-done animation. Under developed characters. As a franchise fan I'm quite saddened by this. Lots of potential but poor execution. Poor storytelling. Hmm.. |
| I really loved Trinity Soul as a SMT Persona fan. The anime has the dramatic/melancholic environment that I love and missed a little on Persona 4. However, the last episode wasn't good as I expected, but it's ok. I'll just try to immagine what happens next. 10 for the anime and 7 only for this episode. |
| I find it funny how many non-canon things were stuffed in here. Like "growing too old to summon a persona" (you can use it as long as it still reflects your subconscious, no arbitrary age limit exists) or the whole Persona eating Persona thing (Persona's are tamed Shadows... if they start eating other people's subconcious they would be devolving back to their Shadow form). Also, Persona's aren't souls... they are just a part of the human psyche that the Persona-user has managed to bring under control. P4 brings this idea more clarity by showing the process of Shadows transforming into Personae after being acknowledged. |
 |
| So underrated. Started slowly but from the middle has become very exciting this show. 8/10 |
 |
| The ending.. em..I have to say this.. "what dafuq did i just watch?" This anime lack of explanation, i have no solid idea what is this "whale" thing throughout the series. I am annoyed with Shin for the last several episodes, so screw him. I like Ryou much better than Shin. 7/10, completed the series in 2 days, this is one of those that once you start, you will keep watching till the end. |
| I was really enjoying this for 25 episodes but this ending was just... I don't know. It feels like it was building up to something amazing and this wasn't it. Oh well. I loved the humor in the show though lol |
| Wow, what a boring experience... I can't believe i survived it. Half of the episodes were useless and unbearably boring fillers. The ending was anticlimactic and unimpressive to say the least. The show had some potential but never realised it and has become shitty borefest. |

| The announcement of Joker from Persona 5 being a DLC character in Smash Bros Ultimate brought me to take intereset in the Persona universe. The games are unlikely to be what I like, but the anime could be. So I decided to watch every Persona anime and movies that exist, and I naturally began with Persona Trinity Soul, the first one. And what a non-enthusastic start. I watched the 26 episodes, but I would be unable to summarize the plot. I almost didn't understand anything. I never knew a series with such bad writing. Nothing is clearly explained, a lot of things happen in random order, nothing is truly clear... Whenever I started an episode, I had to check if I didn't chose the wrong one in the order, as almost every episode starts with random stuff with no connection with the previous one. Some characters were cool, but that's all. 4.5/10 for the effort. |
| Pacing was way too slow. What happened to Ryou anyway? I think the only episode I liked was the dream Shin was having of what could have been happy life for him, his family and Eiko. Also, did Shin like Morimoto in the first place? |
 |
| Silly characters still think whales have feathers while whales are clearly insects smh.... Good portion of this series was boring to sit through and pretty confusing, they really should've shortened the episode amount and put more focus on main plot. Didn't really felt persona related in my opinion, especially one set in the future of Persona 3 where the only things similiar are Apathy syndrome, your man Akihiko and some characters being similiar (e.g. TaKuro felt like a Junpei clone) |
 |
| Yeah...that was REALLY confusing, I kinda like what they tried to do but it felt too messy in the end, it's different from Persona's universe as a whole anyway, I mainly just liked seeing Akihiko there xD |
