I hope it's better than the rest of the show. The Persona 5 anime was incredibly mediocre and disappointing. Unlike the Persona 4 anime, it sadly didn't really do the source material justice. Instead it was just kind of boring and bland.

Oh, I'm excited for this!! More Persona is always welcome!

Even in the game the way they handeled the story wasn't the best
-some emotional moments were rushed af
Like for exemple the moments between futaba and her mum
-some parts of the story were stupid tbh(the first 2 arcs were kind of stupid)
-the redemption of the boss shadows after being beaten is as rushed as it can get (all of them)

Still great game 8.5/10

Persona 4 (the game) was better in every way possible but graphics and gameplay (the fighting ,the city...)

I hoped the anime would fix those stuffs but all it did was making it worst and giving us ugly ass animation

Futaba best girl

It can't be just one episode. There are still two(!) arcs left to cover.

Remember what we are here for, creating rivers in the desert~

Hmm a special episode to cover the true ending huh.
Hopefully it will be so.
Was surprised that the series ended with the bad ending but i guess they had to cover every angle as well.

Can't wait to see this now

As someone who plays Persona series ever since Naoya, I'm genuinely happy about this. Persona series are the best!

No kidding. I am pretty sure that the episode count is not enough to cover the entire game, and it sure shows here.

My brother and i was hoping for an extra 6 - 12 episode to properly cover the end game, but it seems like they're using another way to do it.

I wonder how long the running time of the special will be.

Only watchable if it has the much deserved gay pairing(s).

Rushed ending incoming

I dont know why, but i get this strange feeling that they might just try to cover the rest in a movie format equal to 5 eps worth of time.
