P3 Anime

[That Terrible Biscuit]

Call me thick but I just noticed theres a Person 3 anime. Though on the streaming website I usually use, Persona 3 anime is classed as a 'movie' so it wasnt on the subbed/dubbed anime list like Persona 4 and 5 are.

Im not big on the Persona animes. P4 for its age looked a bit low-budget anime, the colours looked kinda washed out but Im not sure if thats just cause its an oldish stream. P5 anime is basically all predetermined as you'd expect.

But why is P3 anime classed as a movie, why is it not like a standard 24ep anime like 4 and 5 are?

Was it all budget related or did they just want to go further with P3? Does it stand out more compared to 4 and 5?

There are 4 seperate movies and there's only a subbed version. At first, they were released exclusively in japan, hence they were never dubbed. Why that is idk

The movies themselves are pretty good, primarily because the main protagonist is a fully developed character, and a pretty good one at that. it contributed heavily as to why the P3 MC is considered by most, their fav and overall best written one. The movies themsleves do a few things better than the games, so much so that Reload took a lot of inspiration from them. They're not perfect however, some of the animation and cgi can be a bit poor, and the pacing can be a bit all over the place. But overall, they're def worth watching if you really enjoyed the story of p3, since it's more narrative driven and did a lot to build the characters.

Thank you for that. I felt a bit silly cause I kept thinking maybe they never did an anime but I wouldnt have guessed they'd be classed as 'movies' hence why I could never find them alongside Persona 4/5 anime. I never played the original P3 or FES cause that was kind of before I got into anime. 2006, I got fully into anime around late 2008. Yeah Iv started watching it, only first 20mins just to get a feel for it and compare.

I mean they ought to re-release it and pass it through a dub. TBH P3-R has got a decent dub.

The P3 movies look far better than 4 and 5's serialized adaptations. The animation quality is a day and night difference. And they're much better paced as well, instead of having social links resolve in one episode, they just removed them completely.

The original P4 animation is actually quite decent in art consistency, and has better pacing, in both aspects compared to
P4Golden animation and P5 animation, since the latter 2 are from a different studio.

Unfortunately, you can't really watch the original P4 animation legally via streaming services like Crunchyroll.

Speaking of, the first and fourth P3 movies are great.
New scenes that weren't originally in the game are great additions, and changes to dialogues makes sense.

Soon as I complete 3-R I will try gather the 3 movies and watch them. Ideally in 1080p to max quality

There was a group of people who did Dub the movies on YT. Just the first one though.

oh so like a fan-dub? Do you have a link?

Its very rare you get fan-dubs unless its something comedic like DBZ-Abridged. I know Trails in the Sky FC has got a fan-dub but a project like that is massive because of the amount of dialogue in those games lol

3's are four movies. So they have the highest budget and look the best by far. Never officially dubbed though. And they don't focus on anything but the main story and some details are changed. Probably second best or best depending on what you like more.

4's anime. Lower budget, but probably the best one in terms of getting both the main story and some social link events in. As well as having its own original ideas and humor. You say its washed out, but thats actually accurate to the PS2 original look, Golden made everything brighter. The first few episodes feel more rushed, but once they get to Kanji is when the show really gets to be its own thing and the pacing gets much better.

4 Golden. Yes, its a different show. And it only focuses on the new Golden content additions from the game. Never got dubbed. Some fun humor, but an overall big downgrade from 4.

5 Daybreakers. Almost like a pilot for a show. Animated well, and based on a short Mementos sidequest from the game.

5 anime. We don't talk about the 5 anime. Ugly, muted, wishes it looked like Daybreakers. Incredibly rushed.

2 anime. Cancelled. And there is some trailer footage of it. Looked really good, but Atlus doesn't remember P1 and P2 exist.

P3 the movie actually pretty good. maybe the ending wasn't as good in the anime, but overall it did a good job.
the tank battle in the anime was so good I wish it was anything near that as in the game as well.

I watched the Persona 4 anime, 12 episodes. Not very good, everything is rushed, including the fights.
