Persona 5

What are the things that would ruin and save the P5 anime for you?

An anime adaptation as a cashgrab

>Ruined
He doesn't end up with Sensei.
>Saved
He ends up with Sensei.

P5 is near perfect as it is
That being said, if I have to take it then they really need to balance the personality/non-personality of the MC

Fluffy sensei is my reason for living

Joker-Makoto seems the best pairing so far, but I`ve just cleared Futaba`s palace and I`m struggling between Makoto and Chihiya

>save
the entire thing isn't animated by A-1 Pictures and isn't just a worse paced version of an already terribly paced video game. Because that's what it looks like it's going to be.

what will ruin it? reused animation of Persona special attack.

Giving Joker a single love interest that's not my waifu would ruin it for me. Either go harem or romance at all.

or no romance at all*

Ruin makato is end game. Saved any Cake is end game.

I went in as a Kawakamifag but Chihiya nearly made me break my oath.

>it's already ruined for me because I played it with the english dub

It's already ruined because the story is edgy garbage.

The dub isn't that bad. What's truly trash is the localization.

>Ruined
Shitty flanderized personalities ala what happened to the P3 cast.

>Saved
Surprising Shiho end.

>ruin
cgi civilians in the background at all times, non-makoto binary end

>save
sojiro route hoo boy

Kawakami might actually look like Joker's mom

>Saved
Secret Sae Romantic end

>cute as a button country bumpkin
>slipping in and out of her hick accent when she's worked up
>loves the MC even without having to MAX her
>goes home with the MC
She's so great.

Not like the characters beyond P3 have much personality to begin with. Ever since they started to ''develop'' the characters on the alternative realities, I mean, on the social links, they became walking archetypes with no depth. Every character on P5 and P4 are defined by a single trait, and don't have any side to them beyond that.

>ruin
They drag out the most boring optional plot lines
>save
They don't waste my time in the space level

they'll probably gloss over the confidants who don't get directly involved in the main story for even a moment
that includes
Chihaya, Iwai, Kawakami, Oda, Hifumi, Yoshida, and Ohya. They'll have one clip of starting the confidants, and a montage of them later.

good news if you're a fan of Tae, Sojiro, and Mishima

I'm not even playing favorites here. I love Hifumi and Oda
most episodes that aren't the main story will probably be the party confidants sadly

>too much makoto

>more kawakami and takemi

didn't mean to reply to

Yeah but the P3 cast got it the worst, Akihiko especially who got turned into a goofy /fit/fag obsessed with protein.

I guess the benefit of not using the pre-P3 characters (out of "respect" supposedly) is that it means they can't fuck up characters like Eikichi, Ulala or Katsuya.

>Shiho end

That'd be heartwarming but I don't expect it.

Huh? Ohya's got more direct involvement in the story than others considering she makes regular appearances (including revealing Kaneshiro's identity) and at the end of the game is also the one working to try and clear Joker's name. Plus her backstory being directly tied to Shido's.

She should probably be given a bigger role in the anime in all honest but it's not going to happen because she's far and away the least popular confidant. I could see Kawakami having a regular supporting role though due mainly to popularity, same reason they'll probably push Joker x Makoto although of course they won't give any kind of definitive end girl.

I could at least see her getting more appearances in the anime if they follow Ann's Confidant story by letting Joker visit her some as well. She's pretty popular and I'm imagining they'll do a lot of things based on popularity.

>Saved
Secret Lavenza end.
>Ruin
Joker is not portrayed as master fisherman in at least two episodes.

>She's pretty popular
user I love Ann as well, but she was the least voted persona girl as far party members.

Everything hinges on how they portray the protagonist for me. It was the only reason I watched P4 and P4 Golden.

Pretty much this, renember what they did to poor old bunny?
They butchered him so hard, he was almost unrecognizable.

Never watched it, what was his personality like? In the game I remember you can say some outright random shit.

He was little bitch that constantly got depressed.

In terms of what? Lack of localization?

>I love hifumi

Literal feces for brains, the worst s.link in the series

i like her because how distant she is from the plot, feels like an s.link from the previous games
not that there's anything wrong with how they do it in p5

>ryuji that low
what the fuck is wrong with these nips

She better not having a fucking dick

Jesus christ

I'm still hoping for a P5: Crimson to include her in the party as originally intended.

Hopefully Crimson will replace cardboardMakoto with Hifumi

It was.terrible for everyone involved literally everyone died exvept for bunny and Yamato and most of the development went to yamato/psyduck/bunny fujobaiting.
The finale was yamato and bunny facing off ending with lucy and satan hugging it out.

He has to be a cake hunter.

If they fuck up Joker it wont be worth it. I liked Yu in the p4 anime, I liked Makoto in the p3 movies, but it would be damn easy to fuck up

If it ends up like the p4 anime, they'll give romantic hints with all the potential girls but Akira won't end up with anyone.

But kinda how Rise for more moments, so will Makoto.

I would love for Shiho to become more prominent in the series. Truly an underrated character.

>how Rise for more moments, so will Makoto.
I think you mean Ann

Gas yourself, you shit

Makoto is the most popular girl in p5, user. Accept it.

I'm not talking about Ann. Jap fans were demanding/wanting a Shiho Confidant in the inevitable re-release. She's not massively/MC levels of popular but for a character who's effectively out of the game after the first two hours aside from one appearance at the end of Ann's Confidant she's popular enough.

The translation is shit. It's inconsistent, very literal and many sentences feel weird as hell. Sometimes you have to
rewrite things in your mind for the dialogues to feel natural.

The only thing here that's shit is your taste

Its the ponytail. It is the sexiest hairstyle for a woman afterall.

I seriously think the only reason she's popular is because of a.) her useful skills and b.) that she was originally supposed to be a party member. She's not that great otherwise. She's not the worst girl though and I'm glad to see Takememe died out fairly quick.

But Rise was the least voted p4 girl while Naoto the most voted for p4 girl, so by your logic Rise should have the least scenes and Naoto the most.

>she was originally supposed to be a party member

I would love it if she was and we then got scenes of her and Yusuke acting like complete nutters in school together.

>not liking best girl Makoto

You have shit taste, user. Time to kill yourself and save us the oxygen.

cutting out chihaya

Huh..
My mistake user. I was under the impression that Rise was popular.

>Makoto 1.0, Bear puns, and Rise Cumjikawa all above Kanji
Degenerates

>Yosuke second most popular
I guess it's easy to see why they keep trying to make a new Eikichi in each game. Maybe Ryuji's failure will leave them to stop jacking Persona 2 archetypes.

Ripping off both Ginko and Yuka is a pretty bold move I have to say considering Yuka's pretty much the only P1 character that hasn't so much as been mentioned after that game.

That's why it's laughable that people tout that P5 poll like I means anything.

>Macucktofags this desperate

Chihaya's fairly middle of the road in terms of popularity and with her VA dead I can see them cutting her out or basically glossing over her in some kind of wordless montage scene "out of respect" for Miyu which is something that's always pissed me off with Japan.

It will be saved if there's a scene where joker goes to Chihaya and gives her a shitload of cash and the next day everyone suddenly loves him

I am actually more mad that based doggo is that low.

>Macuckoto

Really user? Stop. Lol

>Akira

Who?

The p5 MC.
Although I hear he might have a different name thanks to the dance game giving him a different one from the manga.

It's Amamiya Ren now.

I just wanted just cute anime original scenes with her but if they just reuse voice lines that wont happen

or they decide redub and that will make me sad too because I just love her voice and her "umumumus"

either option is heartbreaking...

>might

its confirmed to be Ren in the game and the anime

either switch to that or start calling him Joker

Bummer. I liked Akira better.

She's just getting her daily public pube inspection by the mc.

>Save
More interactions among your party members, especially fun ones. They didn't really feel like a group of friends to me right until the end.
>Ruined
Pushing one girl too much. Give every main girl her moment to shine and I'll be fine with it. Since Kishi is not the director this time, I'm hopeful about it.

I still use Minato Arisato and Seta Souji. Deal with it.

cute sae moments, plus shadow sae being slutty

This

Ohya is actually integral to the plot, I was actually surprised when I recently replayed the game, I had forgotten how many story scenes she is in. I assume first user forgot just like me.

>saved
Akechi is the love interest

I'm not saying they should make my waifu the sole love interest but if they go with a single love interest and it's not her I'm flying to Japan to burn down Atlus HQ

It's either Makoto, Futaba or no one. Face it user

My man of exquisite taste.

This but for Futaba. At least if it's Ann it's because of main girl syndrome but pushing a meme ship like sensei would likely leave me groaning.

Well it better be fucking no one then. Besides I think it's either Ann, Makoto, harem, or no one.

Hopefully they will give Haru some scenes sprinkled throughout the first 4 palaces arcs instead of her just suddenly popping into existence around the 5th

Hopefully they just write Haru out of the anime. They almost wrote her out of the game, but they chickened out.

>implying any of the girls would win

They could show her in the rooftop at least.
It'll be nobody. What may change or not is how many scenes a girl will get with Joker.

P5 anime with cake route. Y/N?

I wish. I ain't happening though.

The cakes outside of Takemi were the worst part of the game though user.

I expect nothing from this fucking anime, we already been through this song and dance with the P3 movies and the multiple P4 anime.

There is nothing a Persona adaptation has to offer anyone. The games are already pretty much an anime where you have to play a little bit of SMT in between each episode. What's the point in seeing everything again on a lower budgeted animation?

P4 was pretty fun.

i can live with that

It's funny, I come into these threads and post what I'd like to see in the adaptation, even though I have no intention of ever watching it. I watched the first couple of episodes of P4's and that was enough for me to realize that I'd rather just play the game again. Never even bothered to try P3's.

Why did Takemi go from the most popular non-party member girl from around release to basically completely ignored today?

Nobody cares about irrelevant some characters.

Because people swarmed to her and her goth-punk sex appeal. Then everyone realized she didn't really have shit else going on and got bored.
