Heck, Chie's weapons are shoes of sorts, including a pair with armor going up to her knees and Kanji can use a folding chair as a weapon, I never could believe they managed to sneak those into Junes. xD

Whoa this has got to be a dream. How did Sentai was able to get the original English VA to reprise their roles from the game into the anime? Seems to be at the same time with the release of the Arena game. JYB doesn't have much of a distinctive voice. It's either normal (like Ichigo from Bleach) or slightly higher-pitched (like Renton from E7). He would make a great Adachi since he did voice Vash the Stampede in Trigun. I'll be worried about some VAs though since it's been awhile (like Chie and Naoto).

So apparently Sentai didn't tell the voice actors about the news...that awkward moment when indeed.

Sentai is in sorta hot water now. They better make it up for this or else it'll be a mess. Hopefully they'll get the cast but it'll be a while till we get the release.

The Bloodlust Kid · 2012-04-10, 03:33

Well that settles it. Even though it may not be true to the source material, SMT finally has a decent anime adaption. For comparison, see Digital Devil Story.

wandering-dreamer · 2012-04-10, 09:31

Hmm, maybe they meant to say that they intend to get the original cast back? Although geeze, how do you forget to negotiate a dozen different contracts before making that announcement.

Speculation elsewhere is that Sentai is hiring Bang Zoom to actually make the dub. If true, then Bang Zoom would be the company to make the contracts with the voice actors. Bang Zoom probably told Sentai that it plans to get the cast back, and Sentai mistakenly thought it was a done deal already. That's only speculation, of course, but it seems reasonable to me.

Only recording studios that did collaboration was Funimation and Next Generation Pictures back awhile ago for Beck. Not sure whether Sentai has the funds to bring back the original cast after this incident. At least one VA confirmed that she does voices in Arena.

Yu Ominae · 2012-04-10, 18:35

Dangit. Dave's not gonna be in the anime adaptation voicing Teddie.

NOOOO!

Maybe they sent the contracts out and haven't received them back. You could also have hold outs wanting more money so they say they haven't heard a thing to stir up the internet to put themselves in a better negotiating stance. The more people cry about a certain VA the better chances of them getting a higher salary.

ID555 · 2012-04-27, 21:57

This is a surprise. I've always liked Persona4's character designs, but avoided show due to the horror aspect. I didn't expect that school life slice-of-life aspect though. Sometimes the Sousuke-like lead and hilarious comedy reminds me of Fumoffu

I'm going to enjoy this slowly...

RRW · 2012-05-02, 11:28

so which episode with Boss battle?

and general episode recommendation

True end will be on the 10th BluRay volume and the theater version will be a recap of all the episodes including the true end one. That should clear things up no?

that compression will be disaster

Von Himmel · 2012-05-27, 19:38

Seriously? Phew, at least we don't have to wait longer if the true end isn't going to be for theater

You said it

Even the anime seems to have a hard time to summarize the contents of the game.

well it can be Seed style recap. but why would you theaterise that

Nerroth · 2012-06-02, 22:03

I maye be a bit late to the party, but I recently sprinted through the series on ANN.com. (I haven't played the game, so I have no doubt spoiled all manner of details from Persona 4 Golden; but it was worth it.)

Actually, I was surprised to note that Narukami Yu is voiced by Namikawa Daisuke; and he even has a "Velvet" Room he goes into, heh.

Actually, one thing I wonder about is if the animators will throw in any Easter egg references to any of the new content set for Golden, or to the run-up to Arena, in the upcoming True End special. (Or if there would be enough demand for an animated follow-up, based on either Arena or Persona x Detective.)

SilverSyko · 2012-06-09, 00:05

Hey guys, guess what? Those clamoring for an animated version of the Persona 3 game are finally going to get it. A feature film based on the plot of Persona 3 was teased at the very end of Persona 4 ~The Factor of Hope~.

The pages below are in Japanese, but thanks to a fellow on another forum, apparently they have the confirmation on this bit of news:

I'm absolutely ecstatic for this. Even if it is just a movie and not a 2-cour season show like P4 got, I'm delighted my favorite Persona game is getting animated in some form.~

Von Himmel · 2012-06-09, 07:21

So..is it going to be a movie or anime like P4?

P3 has less comedy than P4 so I'm kinda afraid how it'll turn up. One thing that I really like about P4A is they managed to bring up some light-hearted theme that made me who had finished the game enjoyed it a lot. But oh well, I'll believe in them

I'm sure whatever they come up with will be the best for this series.
