yeah i definitely didn't think this thru. i played the game and have seen clips of the animation on youtube and was like why not? yeah those clips on youtube are only the best parts and doesn't show how bad narratively the animation version is. like yeah it might be bad to compare to the original game but like you can't help not to because the pacing is just too fast. the animation cuts out parts and rearranges how certain scenes were like morgana came in day 1 not day 2. that's a little example of what was changed but like there was obviously more
...
which in term affects how the audience interprets and perceives the character development of certain characters. like we all didn't know ryuji's full name until episode 2 but pretty sure it should've happened earlier.
animation was whatever too. i didn't really watch for animation because i already knew (from other people's reviews and hopefully you too) was that the animation isn't the best. like it's not even comparable to the original game cutscenes. obviously because it's from different animation studios but still there wasn't really an attempt to try to copy the original and if there was, it looked very wonky (i.e. the all out attack animation sequence).
only really good thing to stay watching really was ryuji for me but that's cuz he's my favorite. i think both the japanese and english voice actor for ryuji does a really good job and portraying his character with the lines they are respectively given in their different mediums. the little "renren" from ryuji to joker was really cute and gave him more personality but that was really it. other than that, i would really just play the game. they made a port version to most systems now so you should go play that instead of watching this to get a more in depth knowledge of the plot and characterizations of the different phantom thieves. (though i will say for persona5 royal, i did not like yoshizawa who really was just badly inserted into the original base persona 5 plot. her character would've done a lot better had they not did what they did in royal. should've let her entirely help out for the royal exclusive stuff and not inserted into the base persona5 game portion.) well i guess that would technically be considered a good point for the animation, yoshizawa isn't in it to ruin how the story goes (i still think she's a cute character just very badly executed and included)
