Atlus has unveiled that the next entry into the Persona series will also be receiving its own anime adaptation, though many are hoping that this anime will not be the first step in a long line of Persona 5 content that will prevent a new game in the franchise (which happened with Persona 4).
An announcement PV:
The adaptation will be animated by A-1 Pictures and the seiyuu from the game will be reprising their roles for the anime; Persona 5 is slated to debut sometime in 2018.
as long as the anime goes for harem route ill be satisfied
Needs more Futaba^^
It’s gonna be a disappointment since it’s A-1…
Look at how Fate/Apocrypha fared…
These Persona anime and movies don’t work because without the gameplay to keep you engaged you rapidly realize their stories suck. Not to mention that like half the fun of Persona is romancing and going out on dates with the girls, an aspect the anime and movies completely ignore.
Dunno about the others Persona games (never played them) but 5’s story isn’t great. I think 5 is more about the personal relationships between the characters than the obvious “twists” which most people see way ahead of time.
It’s just not cleverly done. Having characters literally tell everything to each other as a way to divulge information to the audience is a very dull delivery method. Although you can probably argue that games rely on that method a lot.
shut up and die
die and up shut
Get out of here you stupid cuck.
I’m too stupid for this, but if the org.cut scenes were made by Production I.G why does Atlus call in A-1?
The same thing happened to the Ace Attorney series where even the pachinko cut scenes looked far superior then to the anime show.
I mean it can’t be all blamed to cost, right?
Production I.G doesn’t seem to do as much for Anime as with games, so they likely weren’t horribly interested honestly. That or they could have been busy.
A-1 also did The Day Breakers animation for Persona 5 already, so they’re familiar with the series/animation and such and Atlus was probably happy with that work.
Honestly there’s plenty of people who seem more optimistic of A-1 from The Day Breakers than with Production I.G who’s forte is more short cutscenes in games. Some people found the P5 cutscenes to be some of the worst parts of the game.
A-1 isn’t “bad”, they have plenty of really good high quality work that they’ve done, it just depends on who is working on it and the budget. They’re a big studio that does a lot of projects.
