After a long 4 months, I have just finished the Persona 3 game. Just in time for the start of the Persona anime.
With high expectation to this relatively dark series. I couldn’t help myself by making this post.
Continue on for the back story of the game. So many spoilers…
An anime adaptation of the running series of Persona game as been announced. Persona -trinity soul- is the name given to this anime. We’ve seen many video game to anime transitions and some were actually decent. Gungrave for example. I don’t think may people liked it since it was rather slow but I thought it was interesting. I loved the video game and so this should come as good news. The art style should be the same.
The anime is set a decade after the [Persona 3] game, and will center around three brothers in a future city where the dead have risen with their skins turned inside out.
Although it says that it takes place in a different city. I’d expect that characters from the game would play a role or at least make cheap cameo appearances. An older Ken? Sexy Mitsuru? We’ll see when it comes. Not much I can say about this since there is very little info about this so far. But I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for new information that is released.
I wonder if rate of suicides will increase after the kids start watching this and start shotting themselves in the head hoping to make their persona appear? … I doubt it but I think it’s funny to think about it.. until someone actually does it. Natural selection at work right there.
Anyways, it is scheduled to be aired in January. I have to check it out.. otherwise I wouldn’t be much of a Persona fan.
I will try to get back into posting more stuff after my midterm coming up next week.
Update: The main site is up!
