| The title pretty much says it all I've never heard of the games or read the manga. The fact that it seems to be a sequel (judging by the 2) without a previous anime just leaves me a little curious. |
 |
| The first game have nothing to do with this one so yep. |
| ^ what reference is that ??? |
EpicWaffle said: Dang, first post. Actually, yes you can. While Devil Survivor 2 does take place after the first game, the stories aren't really connected to each other. Hell, I think there was only one reference to the first game in Devil Survivor 2. (wasn't really a big plot reference so don't worry) Welcome to the MAL forums! Please be civil and enjoy your stay~ Thank goodness this was cleared up, I was having the same question. |
| Just like the Persona 4 animation, you don't have to have played the games or have any knowledge of them. Though, if you enjoy the anime, I highly recommend these games. They are badass for sure! |
 |
| o0o thanks, you people just saved me from dropping this anime just because a damm 2 in it my list and me thank you all guys |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Think of it like Persona 4... |
 |
| Thanks everyone, I've started watching the series and enjoyed what I've seen so far. |
|
| Although the first and second games may as well be set in separate parallel universes with their vastly different stories with minor similarities; the Devil Survivor 2 game differs from the animation adaption of it because they change up a few things, like the order of which things happen, how they happen, and also cut out other things that may not be pertinent to the main story, but still interesting to know. Thus, you'll enjoy DS2 the anime more if you play the game first, so you can play "spot the difference" and also mentally fill in the small gaps they cut out. That said, watching the anime adaption alone will be just as enjoyable if you read the manga (animation version, since there are two manga adaptions of the second game) because the anime and manga are virtually identical but told in different mediums. |
| You can watch the anime without having played the game but it's really retarded and a waste to do so. DeSu2 is more of a real MegaTen then Persona and therefore more based on your own decisions. Watching the anime would be like watching someone else play the game and show you the most boring parts and ending of it. It's impossible to adapt the game right for someone new to the story and even if you don't have the time to play the game you shouldn't waste 20 minutes every week watching the anime. So you can, but don't. |
