Persona 5 (Actual Anime show)

This portion of Sojiro's confidant focused on his relationship with Futaba, and the anime adapted it by sidelining Futaba for a key part (I don't think she even knew her uncle appeared) and Ren going to Akechi for help. What's more, the reason for Futaba's omission is because of her relapsing. Running away and locking herself so she wouldn't have to deal with Sojiro's confrontation about the calling card, something that could been handled better here had they properly used Futaba. The anime really botched this one IMO.

My issue with Akechi isn't him stealing the spotlight, it's his questionable inclusion in the first place.

If the anime didn't rush through Palaces they could have done it here since this was Akechi's Spotlight or done it in transition through it. Going off how they acted to Futaba with the phone, they probably know already. Makoto looked like she was deliberately blocking Akechi. As for their interactions, the anime seems to be making them friendlier(?) in general. This might just be the byproduct.

They botched Mishimas too with how rushed it happend.

Was this the last episode?

New opening sequence, and they ended with that.

I haven't seen it but apparently it ended with MC getting shot? If so that's amazing.

This is a 39 episode anime last I checked.

There's an OVA announced that'll air at the end of this year.

Well that answers that.

Man.

If I hadn't known he was the traitor, I do kinda think that Akechi would have had people fooled up until that last moment. Then again, the thing with the Pancakes still works against him. Anyone who remembers that would be suspicious of him from the get go.

You could tell Ryuji was barely able to contain himself while in the cafe. It's still a miracle that he was able to stay calm among all of them.

My God. They finally have animation to the OP and it isn't a Clip Show anymore!

I gotta say, it's really funny how the director was being all cryptic about how they were going to end it only to just do the "bad ending" and not do the actual conclusion until the ova. Bold strategy I must say.

Well P4 did do that actually. The True Ending was confined to a no-budget OVA.

The normal ending was at least a proper one though.

Actually ending the anime here, forcing the viewers to buy the game, would be great.

First details of Dark Sun.

Saw it. Its kinda laughable how the anime makes Goro look even weaker than he did originally as a boss in the game. Less than five minutes by himself Joker pummeled him solo. Then they gush about how how competent and strong Goro is by himself when he's even more pathetic than the game.

Even Shido was a joke with how Alice and Beelzebub thrashed his boss forns in one hit.

Huh, didn't know it was out already. Apparently I didn't miss much though. Any changes or did everything pay out the same as in the game?

Pretty much the same as the game, just condensed for an hour format.

Was able to watch the Valentine’s Day OVA.

I’m a happy man.

Coming this September.

For $300, which hahaha, they think it was that good.

Easiest paycheck VA's have ever made.

So like videos are making the rounds.

The anime is still terrible, but to compensate the V As have the time of their lives, and DC Douglas sounds frigging ridiculous as Shadow Kamoshida and its great.

If only the animation matches their enthusiasm.

They actually made Ryuji say "YEET"

It was an ad-lib.

I'm glad they left it in.
