I don't like how Ameno Sagiri's voice is mainly Adachi's voice in the anime. I know it was hard to hear in the game, but I did miss the menacing voice he had.

I've only seen 3 anime so far and finished one, so I don't know.
How far in are you? He says it all the time.
I'm only midway through the first tribe's base.

You guys should watch the rest of the Tyrone and Rog videos.

They used like 642350 filters on his voice in the game though, to an almost cartoonish effect. I would've preferred it if they just dialed it back a bit while maintaining the deep voice though; hearing Adachi's goofy voice coming from it deflated its coolness factor even more than its creepy eyelashes did.
She doesn't sound like a boy. She sounds like a forty year old woman voicing a sixteen year old. And her performance is phoned in compared to her usual magnificence. Mind you, that last one is probably Sentai's fault.
They probably didn't have the whole thing at once. I bet the Japanese licensers held the episodes until a certain date so they had to dub it once at a time.
If I remember correctly, he's still at the base guarding Sera at that point, ya? So you haven't interacted with him much.

The problem with her performance was that it sounded like I was hearing the Major speaking as the character and not Naoto, and it sounded way too deep for her.
Like Sophia said they probably didn't do the whole anime in one go. The reason for Kanji's VA(Troy Baker) being replaced halfway through the series was because he got married and went on his honeymoon during the time of recording the other half of the anime and needed a replacement.

She was fantastic as Jenna Angel.

The release were staggered, as per the usual Japanese-model.
Gah, foiled! Not only is this not Fuuka and Rise, but they're super early for once, too!
Guess I didn't account for the new guys.
Edit: I don't like these guys. Labrys was a bit weird upon first seeing her, but I came to like her despite her dumb giant axe, though a lot of that was because of her story. Sho, despite the weird red hair and yellow shoes (that have already grown on me), I liked from the outset.
And even though I'm thinking P4D might be a bit too crazy for me, Kanamin is cool too, especially since she has ties to P4 itself (kinda like Labrys did to P3 and maybe Sho will too).
These new guys, though... I dunno.

Zen and Rei seem weird. Compared to the others in the game, they just don't fit in that well imo.
Woah, didn't know they were playable though. That's cool..
I got a feeling they won't be appearing in future Persona games

Yeah, I was hoping they would do Junpei's next. Oh well. At least we know that Zen and Rei are going to be playable characters.
YOUR GLORIOUS SCHEMEING WAS FOILED BY ATLUS.
I like Rei, but Zen's kinda boring.
Also I'm pretty sure Rei's a shadow or something not-human.
Yeah, that seems reasonable. Don't know why every new character has to be wearing Yasogami outfits, though. Made sense for Labrys. Don't know why Sho would have one yet.
Eh, might make sense for these PQ characters as well. Interested to see more, at least.
The part about them being playable characters was actually shown in another trailer from a while back. Think it was the second Persona Q trailer if I'm not wrong? You can clearly see them using a Bufu-type spell on a enemy.
With that said, I'm personally hoping for a Bufu/Garu type MC when Persona 5 rolls out.

You don't think Zen is a shadow?
Zen and Rei's place in the world will be made clear.
Of course I won't be playing the game so I can hear it from all of you after the fact.
You are correct. I've only played about 1-2 hours but it feels like forever since I've been taking so long to get to it.

Don't know if you ever watched monster, but this is you right now :d
Ha, never have, but now maybe I will.
In the case of Rei and Zen they're no doubt linked to the Seven Wonders of Yasogami High, and if either of them is a Shadow they probably just manifested with it.
It's possible, but I think it's more likely that Rei is given she has all the trademark characteristics of someone who is not human.
I noticed that with each trailer's battle scene the two were inseparable, like they might have separate turns but cannot be used as single characters.

Emi > Chi.
The resemblance is noted. It's the use of red and yellow that does it.
I'm going to guess that Zen/Rei are gods or magical beings that have forgotten their true purpose or something equally generic. Still excited to play it though!
Yeah, it looks like Rei does the magic casting and Zen does the physical work.

Guess I must have missed it.
Doesn't look like they have separate turns. They'll probably just act as 1 person like you said, but share their skills.

Worst case scenario, Rei becomes the new mascot of the series, effectively replacing Teddie.

Glad to hear that, Monster is an amazing watch.
20th Century Boys is another amazing manga by Naoki Urasawa of Monster fame though. It's personally my favourite Urasawa series. Loved the real life movie adaptation too.
I never finished this series because Barnes & Noble stopped stocking it and then I forgot about it. It and Monster are both great though.
Doesn't that mean you're admitting you're wrong?
20th Century Boys is pretty amazing, but I think Pluto has it beat for Urasawa's best. I'm totally not biased in more ways than one or anything...

I don't think I'm going to like these one shot characters Rei and Zen, even that Sho guy for P4A2. Its gonna hurt how the story will end up revolving around them at the end of the game.
Then again time will tell.

I know the reasoning as to why Troy was replaced, it just sucks that they recieved the episodes in pieces, or didn't plan that well in their schedules. I doubt Troy's honeymoon was so long that they couldn't wait a bit, but I guess I ultimately don't know how the dubbing process works.

I think it's inevitable that new characters are introduced in games like this and that the plot revolves around them. In P4A and I'm assuming P4A2, the P3 and P4 character's stories are done. Having the game revolve around them could cause them to retread in character development or have a plot where nothing happens. Look at all the individual routes in P4A for example, excluding Labrys and maybe Elizabeth. In PQ, the story takes place in the middle of P3 and P4's story, so you can't have character arcs in the middle of character arcs, unless amnesia happens at the end (which is bullshit). When coming up with filler games (PQ) or sequels to stories that already have a conclusive ending (P4A), the easiest thing to do is just bring in a new character that can have their own character arc while the original cast just tags along for the ride. Use it as an excuse to have unique character interactions or show what happened to the characters after their respective games (Tales of Xillia 2 also does this).

Neat videos.
Teddie in PQ looks really adorable, and the new characters don't seem too bad either!

Yes I do like Rise. The 4th Icon specifically, I think she looks better with her hair down. Then again, I say that to most girls.
