When it comes to anime Persona has never really been too impressive but I still look forward to seeing my favorite Persona game animated.

Hell yes! So hyped for this!

The game is uber popular in Japan so it is nothing unexpected. I'm glad for the anime adaptation of a game i like.

The video game has been getting lots and lots of attention from my friends. I'm very interested to see what the anime version will be like.

so, it will be showing us the real plot of the game, and the real name of the "hero"? i'll see it anyway

hopefully it isn't as bad as the persona 4 anime

Oh god. I love the game, and now I already want to see this lol

I've never played any of the Persona games previous to the newest one in the franchise. Persona 5 looks really fun and I want to try it out. I've also never seen any of the Persona animes. But I can certainly say I will watch this one.

Well, in the end I kinda got the jist you would mention that since I may be wrong (correct me) but the game is around 80-100 hours of play-time depending on the user's speed reading. But yeah that's something that I can understand to an extent.

For me no matter what options I have there's always something or either limitations or the way I can go through it. I will probably put this as well as how Comic_Sans responded and give a bit of conversation, I'll go into the series with no knowledge of the original source (the thing I'll check for this adaptation would be the news before it actually releases example: PVs, Staff, additional info etc) and after the anime series ends, I'll try to get the game somehow if I get the chance to.

Maaaybe it would be risky because of what you said earlier but well for me I guess I don't really mind spoilers? (Maybe that would sound contradicting) unless I REALLY, REALLY do not want to know about the contents or future events of a series at all.

Buuuut this is just me.

The game's fastest clear is 18 hours, after cutting out all the dialogue and movies. That's about how much actual game play makes up that 90ish hours which is already a very fast play speed in general. (quite a number of people report 100+ or even 110+.)

However
I really must say the story is so predictable that you probably would be able to guess who the villain is just by looking at them, and how much exposure they get in the story. Spoiling it isn't exactly that damaging since the plot isn't really trying to hide who the villain(s) is.

Really really up to you. I'm being lenient compared to Rewrite where I pretty much felt like smacking people who said it was a substitute for the VN.

Well I guess that won't be much of an issue then in that case.

Also, an unrelated note: Not going to lie I died laughing at the last part because I then imagined you literally smacking anyone that does that.

Though I would do that too... but well, for a different reason. :T

Honestly, I'm on the fence here...

After the massive fuck up with what was Occultic;Nine, which has a similar theme to Persona 5 by the way [1][2], I have doubts that A-1 Pictures can do justice with their Persona 5 anime series.

*Heavy spoilers incoming. Don't click if you haven't played Persona 5 or watched Occultic;Nine*

@wasshio yeah well that's up to the viewer in the end, but it really sits in the same corner as Rewrite where there's absolutely too much to cover for it to be a decent adaptation. Too much stuff happens. A lot of the transitions between plot elements will be sudden and confusing, I believe. If you really can't get a copy of P5, I would stay away from the anime since it will only succeed in spoiling the experience. Up to you (and whoever else is reading) whether that matters, I suppose.

Please don't screw it up, A-1 Pictures.

@Wasshio You could always play the game after you've watched the anime. Of course it's not the ideal option but it's still better than nothing.

Might try to take that option then. I'll just go with no knowledge with this one then, and depending how this goes on my end I'll go and play or go through the game... somehow.

HOPEFULLY MY INTERNET DOESN'T TELL ME TO GO TO SHIT

{Sorry I just have triggers of internet problems x.x so yeh}

Comic_Sans said:
@Wasshio It's available on both PS3 and PS4. Also it's probably going to be emulated sooner or later.

Oh so PS3 too? Alright then.

Now that you mentioned that I just remembered my friend had a PS3 (unfortunately we don't live nearby, we're in different countries Lol).

But yeah if it gets emulated depending on the size itself for the game I might try to consider it. But still I'm going to lean in the second option. It's more of debating whether I should have knowledge, or jump with none from the source. I don't really know on my decisions so far.
