Haven't seen it, but more annoyed that they didn't make a Persona 3 anime. That one (to me) was more anime worthy story wise. Liked both games and story though so I'd still watch this one day.

That would be a semi-neat thing if they gave him a shadow-self. Although, to avoid spoilers, lets just say the first "final boss" is kinda like his shadow since they use the same persona.FaceFaceFace said:
And just for fun how do you think they are going to match up that characters or well they not do it at all? It seems like they're going for the platonic friend amongst all the characters, which is both good an bad. Although it seems a feel social links will make cameos.
I could see them throwing in an actual shadow for him, maybe one that develops after everything instead of before, so in the midst of the final dungeon maybe? If not, then yeah, HE is a pretty good foil to the MC and depending on how they characterize both, could be even better.DanyoSouth said:
I agree he'll probably go full platonic, otherwise they risk pissing off people who prefer one girl over another. They could pair off the other party members, (Yosuke and Chie, the two gender-sexuality confused characters) and stick MC with Yukiko or Rise, but still, same problem. Or they could go the "date everyone" route, but I don't know how that could possibly work without making the MC a terrible person, or possibly just even more like the first final boss.
Maybe he'll just have some unresolved sexual tension with every single girl?
Eh. I was personally not too impressed. It sticks way too close to the source material to be a show that can stand on its own. The only part that really impressed me was when it deviated from the game with the awakening of Izanagi and the fight sequence that followed.
The biggest issue, though, is that the protagonist has absolutely no character. It's ok for a role playing game, but not ok for a tv show.

I actually like Yuu's characterization in this. Remember he's been here about a day and doesn't know anyone, so it makes sense that he'd act the way he does. I'm sure as time passes he'll loosen up around everyone.
Yeah, there has only been one episode so I can't really complain too much yet. In addition, according to the stat screen that popped up during the commercial break he is still devoid of expression. It would be really cool if Yuu's character did evolve a lot over the course of the series, but the starting point of "no personality" is frustrating.GestaltEsper said:
I mean, what is his personality in the first episode? I can't think of any word to use except "stoic." And when stoic is the only world you could possibly use to describe a character, you have a problem. In addition, they only half transformed him from a silent protagonist into an actual character. He had maybe around 10 lines the whole episode. And none more than 10 words.
And not to be that guy, but one last complaint. In the game Yosuke and Chie accompany the protagonist to Junes to test out the hand-TV thing mostly to mock him. In the show, it just seems like they are saying "alright sure."
Well, in both the game and manga, they seem to be hinting at a harem thing and judging by all the other harem stuff coming out this anime season, it could be possible. Anyways if there's an episodes two post next week I will see you then.DanyoSouth said:
Wouldn't it interfer with the fact that they are ment to go back and find the girl Youske likes nightmare realm and not have Chie with them?werewolfsfury said:
Given that I knew nothing about the game other than the reputation that it's a great and what not, I thought the anime is ok. I will be watching more of it. Yeah I won't get some of the ingame gags but that what anime bloggers are for.
