For me the game is a masterpiece. This one was just "good". The pacing was rushed which I was expecting and the animations were not consistent during the episode. Some segments felt like they had very good quality and some felt like average. Glad they are sticking with the same scenarios as the game too and that they kept the finale for another special ep coming in march. I recommend it for all persona 5 fans that already played the game, yea it won't be as iconic as the game but you will relive the memories that the game left in you. OH AND THEY HAD A CLOSE UPSHOT OF MAKOTO'S BUTT SO ARIGATO!

I decided to watch this series after seeing a letsplay by Lost Pause for Persona5 and was curious at how well it would do compared to Persona4: the Animation. I have not played any of the Persona games, full disclaimer, so I can not compare whether this was a good adaptation of the game. Overall, this is a decent anime, and this review assumes you'll be watching the actual series prior to the specials. The story and characters have to be summarized for a project of this nature, so there is a sense that a lot of the minor characters are sort of shoved into thenarrative. This is a bit sad considering that the Persona4: the Animation and Persona5 (from what I've seen), plays heavily on the idea of forming relationships with characters. The animation seems to get a little spotty at points, but that is more the exception to rule. The music is catchy and I can see why the original game got a lot of praise for the soundtrack. Overall, this show has a decent story with decent pacing, though a cliffhanger ending to the first special made me angry after the series proper ended on a brutal cliffhanger. I would recommend this series to either a fan or a novice who wants a summary of the game rather than playing. It also works as a very long advertisement for the game, and perhaps I will edit my review once I play the game. Until then, I hope you enjoy.

The original season's ending was a copout, Persona 5 the Animation: Dark Sun... was rushed to all hell. LA will give some positives at the very least before tearing this one down. Well we find out who the mastermind is and how he orchestrated EVERYTHING from all the previous mental shutdown incidents all the way back to Madarame!. LA will say this but the animation by CloverWorks did get.."slightly" better and LA says "slightly" loosely but still and though the plot does almost a half the runtime to be exposition in how the Phantom Thieves as well as the mastermind and his dragon to exposition everythingabout their plans and how they executed it, in GREAT detail. Finally trying to give sympathy to the major villains of the game and in turn finally gives Joker a chance to face his demons because of this and becomes something like his character development and lastly the voice cast obviously reprised their roles and LA is happy for that at the very least. Ok, soooo...Persona 5 the Animation: Dark Sun...has some problems, some that LA forgave in the original season but Persona 5 the Animation: Dark Sun... only presents these flaws front and center. The biggest flaw and the one LA forgave one in the original season being it's rushed pace, but where the original season could truncate events if it wasn't linked to the major plot, but here where Phantom Thieves face off against what is essentially the Penultimate and Final Boss of the game, only to be rushed to hell. Everything mostly using quick time skips, like speeding through the Final Boss' dungeon, to facing the Dragon of the game then quickly shift to the Phantom Thieves leaving their call cards and then quickly move onto the Final fight in the next transition, like really?. LA did say the animation was slightly better but the animation still has CloverWork's occasional derps aka. wide angle shots where their facial features is diminished and not only that but some of the fight scenes had some blurs to appear, it's was only because so many effects occurred within the same frame it became too much at once thus the cause of the blur at times and yeah because the first half of Persona 5 the Animation: Dark Sun... is pretty much exposition for 25 minutes then yeah it becomes a slog with all the characters trying to explain EVERYTHING to us, when we got the gist of it by the first 10 minutes. Finally as good as we see Joker get to face his demons and FINALLY gives us some character development to him as well as the dragon and mastermind of the game. LA didn't see why we needed to see at least the mastermind's sympathy, especially when is in essence a corrupted politician stereotype, LA found the mastermind's sympathy to be cliched to say the least. Ohh and we have even more what with Stars and Ours Special, to that LA says, CloverWorks, you rushed your way to the final boss and tied up the majority of the loose plotlines, what more is there???????. So yeah, Persona 5 the Animation: Dark Sun... was a rushed unexplained mess at times, yes the actual climax to Joker's demons and showing off who the traitor and final boss is was actually fine especially for someone who's never played the game but it was really outweighed by CloverWork's animation and how rushed this special did itself in. "You never saw it coming"...ohh how right this is...for CloverWorks.

DARK SUN GOING FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! At least that's what i feel when i watch this OVA, yes it feels like you're in a passenger seat and the driver steps on the acceleration pedal like the world's end is behind you and go as fast as they can to reach the destination, and you can't enjoy the trip. Even though i was quite surprised with the earlier part which are quite decent, but my expectation soon betrayed. It feels like a summary of the most important arc in Persona 5 rather than proper episode. Nothing is explained properly, every confidant characters were forcefully appear despite the shortduration, they don't even try to shake the audience emotion when it should be in certain scenes, everything feels abrupt. And if everything feels abrupt, of course it affects the overall sound department too. Everyone's favorite "River in the Desert" doesn't pack a punch like how it supposed to be, because it doesn't have enough time, same with everything else in this OVA. It is really bad. But Kawakami is really cute when teasing Joker, hence the saving grace.

Well, well, I've never played any personas, so I'll only evaluate them as an anime. Overall it was quite disappointing, I had really enjoyed the first special, but the second/conclusion, left a lot to be desired, simply the final battle is decided with a cry of support, an invocation of a very strong "persona" who decided everything with a blow, besides those classic phrases of effect that have no effect at all, because we agree, are very bland, honestly, it seemed like generic anime that has no idea for a battle or for the construction of a dialogue, another negative point were the characters thathad a prominence in the scene as if they had in fact some relevánica in the anime, and they did not have. In the end, I was really sad at this conclusion. (sorry for the spelling mistakes)
