Some Cool Artwork:

 

[Lumination]

Might seem like a silly question, but how "canon" is this relative to the game? Is it a straight 1-1 adaption? I'd really like to wait to play DS2 Overclocked.

 

[Deified Data]

Loved the game, hated the cast. Joe and Al Saiduq were the only appealing characters.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Now I'll maybe know how the people who watched P4 before playing it felt.

Also Makoto is best girl according to Miyukichi and her looks.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Airi shall become mai waifu.

 

[Soma]

In it for Makoto/Sawashiro goodness.

 

[duckroll]

Airi shall become mai waifu.

No, mine!

 

[Order]

Gonna wait until for the 3DS game to release before I watch this, kinda like I did for P4A.

 

[Tomat]

This show isn't going to suck is it?

Maybe I should play the game instead.

 

[Trigger]

All that truth in the OT subtitle. Airi > all girls.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

In it for Makoto/Sawashiro goodness.

Yes, you're a good person.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Do I need to play Devil Survivor 1 before watching this?

 

[789shadow]

Hmm, I'll check it out.

 

[Deified Data]

Is Yamato's twin sister going to be in this?

 

[Nexas]

Do I need to play Devil Survivor 1 before watching this?

Nope completely separate universes.

 

[duckroll]

Do I need to play Devil Survivor 1 before watching this?

Nope. It's completely unrelated.

Is Yamato's twin sister going to be in this?

Probably not, since the series will finish before Break Record is even out in Japan. I doubt they'll want to spoil any of the new stuff in the game. But you know who's in the show? Airi Ban!

 

[NeonZ]

Might seem like a silly question, but how "canon" is this relative to the game? Is it a straight 1-1 adaption? I'd really like to wait to play DS2 Overclocked.

It's unknown at this point. The basic premise and main cast seems to be following the game, but who knows how they'll handle the actual progression.

The rerelease of Devil Survivor 2 is going to have a story taking place after the original plot though, so I'd assume they'll coordinate enough to at least make the new story and the anime match up. Of course, I could end up completely wrong about that.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Nope completely separate universes.

Good to know. I have Overclocked sitting in my 3DS, I just need to start it. Should be an interesting experience playing DS1 while watching DS2

 

[Kincaido]

Does Miyako show up in this? Mai waifu.

I dunno if they'll really bother. The voice cast is the same, which is enough for most fans I'll say. The Persona 4 series didn't really take into consideration any of the additions they made for Persona 4 Golden either. Additionally, like in P4G, the DS2BR game will feature anime cutscenes of its own done by completely different people.

Damn. Might just have to wait for Overclocked 2 first then. Thanks.

 

[Deified Data]

I shall rate characters from most to least annoying:

Ronaldo > Yamato > Airi > Keita > Hinako > Io > Daichi > Otome > Makoto > Jungo > Protagonist > Anguished One > Joe

All I see are a bunch of dead people in that list except Airi!

Fumi.

I loved Devil Survivor 2, so I should probably watch this.

Spoiler

Airi is adorable.

 

[kayos90]

Is this confirmed to be one or 2 cour?

 

[jgminto]

I'm just going to watch this without playing the game. I'm near the end of Persona 3 FES and just got 4 so I don't have time for another long ass SMT game right now.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Cant wait to see

And Daichi and the Anguished One.

 

[duckroll]

Is this confirmed to be one or 2 cour?

Read the OP.

 

[CornBurrito]

Sigh. I wish they would have chosen Devil Survivor 1. I much preferred that story.

 

[Tamanon]

I think I'll catch this on Crunchyroll. Even as a SMT/Persona fan, I never played the Devil Survivor games, so it'll be new material for me. Hopefully the women have learned the power of gravity.

Ha hahahahahahhahaha.

The breasts in DS2 were super fucking ridiculous. Like giant inflated balloons.

 

[Deified Data]

Sigh. I wish they would have chosen Devil Survivor 1. I much preferred that story.

Definitely. Felt a lot more like an SMT game - it actually made sense that you were summoning demons given the atmosphere and the conflict. DS2 was basically just NGE.

 

[Ponn]

Does she show her belly button?

Spoiler

isn't she like 14?

 

[duckroll]

Does she show her belly button?

Spoiler

isn't she like 14?

Yes (Maybe nsfw? But it's that slutty Hinako's fault!)

 

[Crash Station]

Will play the game before watching, but could be neat.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Does she show her belly button?

Spoiler

IIRC, Airi is 16.

Edit: 15 according to the Megaten Wiki.

Still adorable, but this is why Fumi is superior waifu.

 

[Ponn]

Yes (Maybe nsfw? But it's that slutty Hinako's fault!)

Well then.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Holy tits, I can't wait.

 

[7Th]

Otome is the best waifu.

 

[Ponn]

Yea, that GAF borderline Nick/Disney starlet creepy age.

And yes, Fumi is the real hotness of the game and this show.

 

[duckroll]

My endgame party in DS2 was MC/Airi/Fumi/Otome. So those are all acceptable alternatives. Airi comes first because she has the cutest costume and expression. All other characters other than those 3 are traitors or whores!

 

[GulAtiCa]

Awesome!

 

[CornBurrito]

Definitely. Felt a lot more like an SMT game - it actually made sense that you were summoning demons given the atmosphere and the conflict. DS2 was basically just NGE.

And an arguably worse NGE, with pretty meh characters.

 

[PK Gaming]

err surprised to see the anti-gravity boobs back in full force

I ran with MC/Daichi/Io/Joe from beginning to end

your team just doesn't compare

[Unknown Soldier]

This saves me the trouble of having to buy 3DS. I hope they make an SMT4 anime too.

Same team right here.
Epic all day.

I really hope they do the Devil Survivor 1 story, too.
That would be tits.

Also, the anti-gravity boobs make me like 2 of the characters a LOT more.

 

[Videoneon]

Airi is very much waifu.

But I prefer Otome. She can be waifu.

Will watch.

You didn't exploit Hinako Multi Strike + Pierce + Phys Amp? I ran with MC/Fumi/Hinako/Io, and Hinako was she who destroyed worlds. Nothing could stand against her.

I will agree that Airi's outfit is top notch cute.

Mah dude.

My party only allows girls who actually wear clothes to be in it.

wasn't a big of hinako

Will watch.

Otome is actually one of the biggest bros in the SMT series. She covers for you when you, Joe and Daichi peep on the girls during the medical examination... she's basically Yosuke/Junpei level.
