The main social links? Sure, but 1 episode a piece to the side ones? Why? You like Eri and Shu that much?
How dare they cram the 4 most obscure and far removed from the narrative social links into an interesting and pretty funny two parter that shows how Yu looks to those on the outside when he's doing social links.
We weigh the value of the S. Links differently and that's fine, but yeah, I feel the way I do.
Really, they should just cut a lot of auxiliary characters. Focus on the main cast and story. They're great for the game, but terrible for pacing of a TV show.
Very understandable, it would just feel like padding out in my opinion. Cool for fans of the series, but ugh for overall story pacing.
I wonder how the P3 movies will deal with s.links.
The more I think about it, the less rushed it feels to me. They really cut the ending short, but the main plot was paced pretty nicely. It was coherent and interesting, which is pretty much what you'd hope for.
It also had some absolutely brilliant episodes that everyone forgets when they're giving it a kicking. The episode with Ai? And the Catherine references? Amazing. What about the episode with (P4 spoilers)
? Everyone loved that! And the Margaret fight? So good.
P4 The Animation may have had some shoddy drawing, but it was still very enjoyable to watch for sure.

Shadow Mitsuo
P4 The Animation may have had some shoddy drawing, but it was still very enjoyable to watch for sure.
Yeah, that's how I feel. I enjoyed those episodes and they are a highlight of the first series. Given the choice though? I wouldn't suggest a repeat.
Bro, I have both BDs on my shelf right now and yeah, I liked the episodes you mention a lot! P4tA is OK.
But now they have a chance to do it better. I think we're all just hoping they grab the bull by the horns and there's precedent for that, given the glowing reception of Spring of Borth.
Oh don't get me wrong, I thought it was a clever way of doing it, but I don't think you can deny that it felt rushed at the same time.
The only episode I actually didn't like was the Shadow Mitsuo episode, 'cuz that one was sort of confusing to me. The rest of the show I liked quite a bit, actually.
I've just been saying in the IRC that they're clearly going to have to make it noteably different.
I wonder if it will only cover Golden scenes or something. Or maybe it will just portray all the original stuff in a different tone. It'll be interesting to see, but I'm not jumping on the "This will definitely be better!" band wagon just yet. It could be awful for all we know.
I mostly hated the true ending episode, what a clusterfuck.
You make me sick.
Yeah, it was rushed. I just thought is was a nice alternative.
Yeah, the only episode I didn't like was the last one. Let's just throw in Margaret because why not?
At least, it's nice to look at. The animation quality in the scene whre Yu meets Marie is excellent.
Pre-release Promotional Videos have a bad habit of looking much better than the actual series.
Oh yeah, nothing is promised. They seem to have done such a good job with P3 though, hopes are reasonably high.
The animation was easily the biggest issue with the first series.

Yeah I'm not keeping my hopes up.
That's not what the show looks like though. There's an actual clip afterwards.
Looks about the same as the Persona 4 cutscenes. The promo video is not indicative of the show's actual aesthetic quality.
You speak great wisdom.
I'd pay some scanlator to translate the last volume of the P1 manga. It's so close to being done ;_;
Corvo, I'd recommend checking the P1 manga out if you want some more of the characters. They do some cool stuff with it to weave the characters and different storylines together. Only bad thing is it isn't completed yet.

Was that the
groundhog day-esque
It didn't avoid getting hit with the ugly stick though.

What if they made Marie a really good, not annoying, fleshed out character in P4GA?
Heh, never mind
Heh, never mind
HA HA GOOD JOKE
Oh, I was wondering about that, because apparently the P1 characters who pop up in P2 are all the ones I did not take! So yeah, I'll get on reading that, I suppose. I wish I could find the entire P4A manga translated, though. Nobody seems to have past chapter 7.
Why would we?
The fifth day of the fifth month.
Fifth day of the fifth month of the year.
Also:
-Sinco de Mayo
-My fathers birthday
-The return of 24
Oh.
So probably not then.
Please look forward to hot bath scenes FROM HER PERSPECTIVE!
I remember her talking about the Velvet Room having nothing to do in it... She's in it for a lot of the game, too.
I just found out she's voiced by KanaHana, so I wouldn't rule it out. That woman is unstoppable. She's everywhere.

Yep, great idea. So the only time the animation will do anything is when Yu takes her out to social link, or at the end of the year.
Every episode will feature her in the Velvet Room, writing/practicing her poetry for 20 minutes, broken up occasionally when Yu comes in to fuse new Persona.
So, someone made a Pokemon RSE-style demake of Reach Out to the Truth. It's pretty good!

Or, you know, they could shove her into places she wasn't before. Not like that's the whole idea behind her character in the first place.
Doubt there'll be anything substantial about Persona 5 before June 12. The cover for the upcoming Persona magazine is Persona Q. If they suddenly decided to unveil the game, they would be promoting P5 on the cover instead, especially since PQ would have already been out by then.
Dude yeah I was kinda taken aback. Someone put Yu. He's a silent protagonist for cryin' out loud!

"Look, his seiyuu died, alright? We're making the best of the situation here. We can't NOT do this."

She should totally have the dreamworks smirk though.
