Probably the most disappointing anime i've ever seen. There are a lot of great shots here, the art is nice and there are some really well put together scenes. Makoto's awakening and the first run through of Tartarus being good examples. I also love the characterisation of the Makoto. He's still a pretty silent mc but they found a way to make it work unlike P5A, turning him this anti-social edge-lord that fits P3's darker tone.
However the pacing is off which kills a lot of enjoyment for me. Too much stuff happens too quickly and we don't get to spend nearly enough time getting to know the characters.
The calendar is a terrible example of adapting gameplay elements. It messes with the flow of the film leading to a bunch of disjointed events rather than flowing scenes. A shame considering how cool the source material is and how how much potential some parts of the movie show.
