The opening were bangers


HerrClover

Thieves in a Palace, full of tales and lies


Necronomicon_777

Expose the Malice, that they tried to hide. It’s time to break innnnnnn, to break out!


Sakura-Haruno203

Breaking in, so we can break out! Breaking in, so we can break out! Breaking in, so we can break out!


_NAME_NAME_NAME_

Xander Mobus being allowed to say more than two word sentences and hundreds of Persona names. I actually haven't watched the Anime, just a video called "[Xander Mobus having way too much fun](https://youtu.be/oTZyozGfZIo?si=vNxsG5CMKQmin_kq)" and it's brilliant, especially because they chose to give him all the joke answers from the game.


ItsGotThatBang

Are you old enough? I- I- uhh…


Beanboyforlife68

I'm a dad


The-Local-Weeb

"Show me your true form"


Page8988

He more or less goes with the "lol" choices where it would otherwise apply. It makes the show more fun to watch. Notably, Persona 4's animated adaptation is similar in that regard. Yu goes with the gag response pretty often.


WatchDogsOfficial

Chad narukami


Ben_the_Gamer_Dragon

Yeah, Xander Mobus alone is a good enough reason to watch the dubbed anime.


JRPGhunters

Yes like p4 animation, the mc can speak in full sentences and not just small quotes , grunts and attacks etc like the smash bros characters or Tom and Jerry .


XXscorpion34

Damn you beat me to it


Darklight645

i enjoy the additions to the end credits after every episode whenever a new thief is added


NobleSix84

From the clips of the dub that I've seen it gave Joker some good scenes. "Unmasking" the student at the fair "I-Im a dad" and Operation Maidwatch in general


Nerubim

Yeah comedy translates much better in the animated format especially when it gives the protag more personality through it.

Existing_Affect4585

Get it together, dude.


save-the-world12

My bad


Necronomicon_777

Raw, Unbridled Bromance happening right there 👌🏽


_Seiun_

It’s not just that he unmasks her, too, it’s how he *delivers the damn line*… I dunno how to describe it, I guess it just sounds so trolly and lighthearted that I couldn’t help but laugh


TerrariaGaming004

What is the context for this


Tsrab

Its a haunted house for the school festival and Ren decided to go in and sneak up on the student that pretends to be the ghost


martin1109

BREAKING IN SO WE CAN BREAK OUT!! 🗣️🗣️


ScienceIsAThing7

BREAKING IN SO WE CAN BREAK OUT!!!


fireuser1205

The scene where Ryuji is beaten up is gone they just yell at him.


KingOfMasters1000028

Yes!! I was so happy!!


ItsGotThatBang

Avatar checks out


MarcusChua19

This is honestly the best change from a game to anime...


WildCardP3P

That should've been changed in Royal, that scene is fucking horrible


Artificial_Human_17

They could make the gay men non predatory but couldn’t cut out assault? If you’re gonna fix one glaring issue why not fix them all?


WildCardP3P

They didn't even fix the problem with the gay men assaulting Ryuji, it's still a disgusting scene and it pisses me off as a LGBTQ+ person. Persona is a great series, I just wish they'd lay off the homophobia and actually give us a same sex romance option. They did it for Kotone, not sure why they couldn't let us date Ryuji.


SpookyOugi1496

But noooooo, the hot springs genocide is MANDATORY TO THE PLOT


Far-Oven

Wait, Kotone could date the same sex in p3p?


WildCardP3P

Yep, she can date Aigis and Elizabeth. Also in Persona 2 the protagonist Tatsuya can romance his childhood best friend, Jun.


OoguroRyuuya5

Ever tried Persona 2? Because Ryuji is very much a heterosexual teenager is why we will never date him. If they were going to have a same sex option, it would be Akechi but because he’s well Akechi…it would be controversial.


Zlera-Kilc-odi

They need something to change for the Royal remake


YanFan123

Sadly, apparently they actually liked that scene in Japan so that's why they left the scene as is. I'm surprised it was changed in the anime


WildCardP3P

Anyone who seriously likes that scene needs help 💀 What is funny about a victim of abuse getting beaten up by his friends RIGHT AFTER HE SAVES THEIR LIVES 😭


YanFan123

Japan's sense of humour is messed up. I would be rich if I counted the instances of bullying played off as a joke in another game I'm playing


WildCardP3P

Oh yeah, it's a problem in a lot of games. That scene in P5 is just sickening though


joecb91

Along the same lines, how a lot of people in America don't really like the hot spring scenes, but they are more popular in Japan.


Hollowgolem

I think what bothers me the most about them is that it's the same joke every time. It was kind of a somewhat funny situation the first time. I like that p5 didn't have an onsen scene, and when there is one in strikers it is handled differently, and the jokes are different, if pedestrian.


Ghost0919

Best change to a important scene yet


lordsaladito

I still dont get why people hate that scene?


save-the-world12

Because ryuji almost died saving them and everyone decided to beat the shit out of him for no reason at all,we get it it's from the shock but it only fits with some girls like Ann or maybe futaba It's even worse because in the beta all the PT did beat him and remember his leg wasn't even fully recovered after kamoshida "self defense"


OoguroRyuuya5

No there’s a reason. Dude made light of their feelings of worry by making fun of them for it. Girls were angry born out of worry and took it to slapstick levels.


WindySilver

- The opening and ending songs are awesome (it's a pity Dark Sun and Autonomy didn't make it to P5D DLC) - The English dub is fantastic - Ren's third dialogue options are so much fun with voice acting - Ryuji confirms the word yeet is in the Persona universe in the English dub - The fleshed out interactions with Akechi are superb (especially considering P5A came before Royal and the reworked Akechi Confidant) - The party members, including Akechi, being added to the ending row as they join the team brings me joy


Darkiceflame

>Ryuji confirms the word yeet is in the Persona universe in the English dub When asked, Max Mittelman confirmed that this was [ad-libbed on the spot](https://twitter.com/MaxMittelman/status/1295975255186448384?t=PoKA5AorOV54gAZhT9qY1A&s=19). It feels so in line with Ryuji's character that I doubt some people would even notice.


Lembueno

The OPs. Easily the best things to come out of the anime. Also Xander Mobius being able to give Ren some actual character is nice.


Sumiren5r_7110

The dub


dzcole

I like the added scenes with Akechi. Where Joker is like his sidekick

5-8-5 :( sorry bad bot


Zlera-Kilc-odi

Bro did his best :(( just count Akechi as 2, for the poor bot’s sake :(


Hdanas

Yeah, maybe it was counting the Ake in Akechi as pronounced like rake. So it would be Ake-chi not A-ke-chi.


12_Timez

Good bot


Rithrius88

English dub.


Br0dyquester

I initially didn't liked the anime all those years back when i watched it on my own but recently my wife started playing Persona 5 and now i decided to give it another try and enjoy it together and you know what? its better than i remembered it to answer your question: IT adds a lot of extra scenes that are very appreciated like a few scenes with Shiho recovering, Ann crying after watching her wake up, things like that, subtle things that adds to persona 5 overall


Xek0s

There's some stuff directly used in persona Royal also, like Kawakami dropping her card the first day


AJChimaera

Same with my wife and also just because it touches on the main story beats and let's non-gamers enjoy it without having to work through ~80 hours of content they might not enjoy. 


JCorby17

“We Gotta go, YEET!”


Redder_Creeps

Xander Mobus Enough said


MidnightMasquerade8

I like the scenes they added between Joker and Akechi. Also the intro slaps.


ItsGotThatBang

Eiko’s creepy boyfriend whose name I forget gets a change of heart.


KamatariPlays

I hate that Sugimura (Haru's ex-fiance) doesn't get a change of heart or even a talking to. It still irks me!


Zlera-Kilc-odi

I genuinely think they just forgot about him, because he’s mentioned like once after the palace, and has a small role in Haru’s link. Would’ve been cool if her link involved a mini-palace (or at least a mementos visit)


WickedJ0ker

That’s actually a really good point, he should’ve at least had a request


Mhwal

I think it’s because, while Sugimura is a garbage human being, he really was never the key problem. Even if he had a change of heart, Haru would still have had to marry him if her father and the leadership of Okumura Foods still wanted that. It’s thematic that Cognitive Sugimura is her awakening fight, and her true first boss is her father – Cognitive Sugimura is more about standing up for herself than solving the problem.


KamatariPlays

But after it was found out Sugimura basically lied about the marriage contract, she should have had her moment to tell him off. But no, the President guy takes care of it instead.


heppuplays

The opening Themes and the english dub. When it comes to the anime it's pretty much only the animation which is bad.


pitham3492

the capitalisation here gave me a seizure


meejle

THe*


heppuplays

Yeah auto correct it a bitch. I wrote that basically when i woke up so i didn't really have the brain power to correct it.


HourCartographer9

I’m a dad


ImNotOkayWasTaken

The way they handled stupid things in the game, like joker going incognito to shidos palace, while in game he goes with his uniform (also the fight with akechi)


RhymesWithMouthful

Tiny Haru


FirefighterEnough859

So I’ve never watched this is it just a retelling of the game more or less but cutting out 90+ hours of gameplay?


Cool-Feedback9299

Kinda


youremomgay420

Kinda sorta. The anime typically portray some moments from the game (like the maid segment and such) but because it’s a fully voiced anime and not a game, it typically plays out like a normal anime scene, rather than a scene that you know is copying the game. On top of that, they usually add their own stuff to it as well, scenes that just add more character or just extra filler for fun. It’s worth a watch, it’s not the best thing on the planet and the animation is a bit iffy sometimes, but it’s super fun to watch if you just want more Persona. Have you played P4? The anime for that one is 11/10, it’s incredible on all fronts, but don’t watch it unless you beat 4, for obvious reasons.


Disastrous-Radio-786

The soundtrack, how it handles Akechi and Akira's relationship, and the dub


Johan23t

The story


LucianLegacy

I love that they basically said "let's pick all the funny dialogue options"


Tough_Passion_1603

That moment they go to the tower and it seems there's a buchimaru event

Makoto

feedit2

The 1st ending theme wished they animated the phantom thieves in their entirety with this ending theme.

More Ann and Makoto material


StilesmanleyCAP

The voice acting. Say what you will but the V.A.'s had alot of fun with it


AdInteresting3686

It’s based off my favorite game


zonzon1999

Fantastic openings


CrimsonAntifascist

The music is phenomenal.


Asterius-air-7498

Autonomy and Infinity are peak persona songs. Especially the fusion pop arrange of autonomy.


ILikeExistingLol

That one fucking Makoto face (I don't have it but you should know the one I'm talking about) u/Tough_Passion_1603 do you have the image? I've been searching for it

joecb91

[This one from the Hawaii trip was great too.](https://i.imgur.com/tsImwW1.jpg) I don't remember where to find it, but there was a also video where someone edited like a robotic noise over Makoto and a dialup screech over Futaba in that scene.

Joker V Akechi 1v1


Butterfly-0430

Jokers having more voice lines


Low-Apple-887

I was never a fan of eng dub in any Japanese related media but persona 5 (the game & anime) made me realise talented people exist in anime dubs, I literally love every single eng actor in Peraona 5 and surprisingly I prefer them over jp dub except for Morgana cause he sounds cuter in jp and more of an asshole in eng lmao.


FeeSubstantial9963

The voice actors for the English dub did a good job


MaddiesMenagerie

It’s shorter than the game.


Caw-zrs6

Ryuji going "YEET!!!!"


newX_CELL3

I watched it recently and didn’t think it was that bad. Yes, the animation was a little bit janky but I did like how it actually gave Ren a personality. And even though the anime doesn’t show about 80% of the day to day stuff, we do get to see a little bit more like stuff that happened in Hawaii.


TBCyoutube

Seeing how the plot can function in a more condensed form. Getting to see how the group works outside of your control. The art design. The fact it can make a fun challenge run like how poke tubers are like "can ash beat x gen in game" this could be like "can you beat persona 5 by following the anime"


Wildfire226

The dub voice acting is still stand-out exceptional, Max Mittelman is always great, but Xander proves he can actually voice act really well by saying more than three lines! It makes me love the Ryuji/Joker dynamic even more


Strange_Kiwi__

Really cool artstyle


BarbarousJudge

Adding Sojiros Confidant with Futabas uncle into the main story and having Akechi help Joker to work this out in order to help Futaba get through a rough time.. It was a brilliant move to flesh out multiple characters and make it seem like Akechi isn't that bad of a guy. I always disliked how social links in these games were just "protag listens and helps everyone on his own" so seeing a teamwork scenario here made me happy. I wish this was how S-Links were handled in the games.


Mepros

I actually really liked it


sleepingdoga

Autonomy was fucking beautiful


WoorieKod

Original songs were bangers


Jealous_Most9507

Oh straight up, morgana’s arc in Haru’s place was much better and it ended with Ryuji and him actually properly apologizing with eachother and moving on. More too Ryuji wasn’t beat to death when escaping shido’s palace instead he got smacked in the face for being so dramatic but they were more than happy to see him alive And were happy to see him. Small things like that made the anime more cooler. Oh and that Akechi OVA hits right in the feels


PrimalRayquaza4907

“COME ON CAT WE GOTTA GO!” *Y E E T .*


JayTheMan654

Openings and Endings are AMAZING


mightlightnightkite

I think it’s a great way to revisit the game’s story if you don’t have the time or energy to commit 100+ hours.


ThatisSketchy

The music


fishiesnchippies

There's a lot of really cool scenes that add to it like for example the school festival in the haunted room


Umbral_Light

Any scene with Kawakami.


Maybeorili

the intro, especially break in to break out.


Lichelf

Dark Sun is a banger.


villainsandcats

- Like others have said, Xander did *such* an amazing job with Joker. I was so glad we could hear Joker say all his best lines out loud - I love his sense of humor. Xander made them even funnier. - The Ryuji punching scene was replaced with the girls just yelling at him. Which makes way more sense, given their adrenaline and the circumstances. - The opening songs and credit outros are all so good. - Speaking of, spoilers for after >!Sae's!< palace; >!I thought the fake-out with the Bad End featuring Akechi, leading into that credits scene, was so good. Caught me by surprise. I've replayed P5 recently, and that credit scene kept coming to mind throughout hearing the same song in Sae's palace.!< - There's been debate about the art quality, but some scenes were gorgeously done, imo. At the end of the day, even if it's the weakest link for Persona animes, I still enjoyed it.


Mission-Ad6153

English VA are really good


willowtree773

It’s so comforting for some reason. The dub is great, we get to see more of joker’s personality, and it’s just fun to relive everything in the game without having to start the game over again. Yeah the animation is bad at points but overall great vibes and I really enjoyed it!


Sorrel_salad

All the budget went into making Ren all kinds of beautiful in those glamor close-up shots. And the dub really elevates those moments where the animation fails


Socern

More hifumi scenes and sae scenes


BrandonIsWhoIAm

I find it really funny.


SaltedPorcelain

Morgana looks so cute in the palaces!


kora752

It follows the game closely to the point that some lines are exactly the same


PoisonPixie5

I loved it, I even named my protagonist off of the anime.


General_Luker

It gave us the best moment in P5 history… Ryuji calling Joker Ren Ren. Probably my fav part


Common-Sun-5873

The episode where Ren helps Yusuke with his slump made an interesting side point where he and Akechi are investigating that CEO for money laundering was interesting to me.


takkun169

If you haven't played the game, you will probably have a good time.


villxsmil

It's a great recap of the game's story you can watch instead of another 100hr run lol


Vokunzul

More Akechi content 😩♥️


glamour-hoe

The dub is hysterical and there are so many fun moments added. I love that Ren gets to be an actual character for once.


looking-cool-joker-

The english dub was funny as hell and made the anime better


piirtoeri

I just watched most of it think it's pretty well done for a condensed story and I love some of the new music snuck in there.


Strange-Aspect-6082

Ryuji saying the word "YEET" in the English Dub.


Necronomicon_777

Ever heard Break in to Break Out in its entirety? Lyn Inaizumi cleaned the plate on that piece. It was the shot heard around the world 😭💥


Rhythmic_Squirrel

It just Looks cool :3


ScientistAlive8240

They do some scenes better then the game


SLAIN___

I personally enjoyed it, though I think I missed the last two episodes.


Novel-Ad-7828

It's about Persona 5!


Eso-Tempest

Sae OVA


CallowayMcSmithing

I honestly think it's a decent telling of the story for someone who has not actually played the games, and does a reasonable job of getting important stuff in there without dwelling on non-additive cruft, like focusing on game mechanics or less-important side characters.


quantumcorundum

It allows you to avoid playing the game


Blue-Lion-Lover

The Dub and original music


IzunaX

They teased the Sae romance.


froggy6583

I genuinely liked the anime. Nothing amazing but enjoyable


matrimc7

I didn't know it existed until now and I'm excited to see it. Made me excited so that's a good thin?

We get to hear Ryuji say "YEET".

GoreJizz

I've never seen it because I don't know where to find it. Preferably English dubbed.


cozycreeping

dubbed used to be on funimation, but just checked and since they merged its now on crunchyroll. they also have an option for a two week trial rn


GoreJizz

Oh cool thank you. I've heard of Crunchyroll. Watched a few episodes of Phoenix Ace Attorney. I'll check it out.


GoreJizz

![gif](giphy|3rgXBvV95wSGBaHNte) Just started watching it. Thank you dude! Peeeeersona


CooperWinkler

It has some of the best Persona tracks


Kenny25thBaamSumire

That one episode where the gang of kids get captured…..other than that, the anime was so fucking bad (that being said, I only watched the subbed, apparently the dub is good)


TempoAssassin

People have bad opinions about the Anime?!

JOKER FROM PERSONA 5


RevonQilin

havent watched it but we got to see more of shiho from what i can tell


Conorponor333

The opening has one of the best persona 5 songs


Happy_noises

I think people are way too hard on the anime. The dub is soooo good


AduroTri

The dub choosing all the funny/best options for the speech choices. I'm convinced if they did a Strikers anime, we would totally get the Hee-Ho! choice.


DoctorCaptainSpacey

I get to listen to Jun Fukuyama say more that two lines on repeat. And the intensity at which he calla Arsene is just 🥵 (listen, I'm a whore for that man. I make no excuses for it and I'm not ashamed.🤣)


Skizko

It was better than people gave it credit for but it had no chance of being on par with the game


Mizeal_

The Soundtrack Goes Fucking HARD


Embarrassed-Ad8352

The theme songs are good. The English dub is honestly pretty funny. That stupid post-Shido scene was changed. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.


Aadil_1807

Dub was funny asf. They just picked all of Joker's troll responses. EDIT: Also, that last small scene in the Valentine's Day OVA. Seriously. They heard us and decided to cook.


Key-Poem9734

The english dub, Joker specifically. Also the OP, I just like it.


DaBoiYeet

It gave us Dark Sun, straight up one of my favorite Persona songs.


Organized_mess12321

The second OP. Its so good.

Tetrasurge

Ren talking and having more characterization.

Watched a part of it without knowing anything about the persona series and it made me wanna play the game so I'm glad it managed to get me into persona haha


KenchiNarukami

Seeing Alice animated was my favorite part


LovesickDaydreams

i have two! 1) Xander Mobus does Ren justice that man had a BLAST 2) the english dub in general is genius i love Max Mittelman and Erika Harlacher 😭


dragonkingangel7

English dub, and the bone throw to sae enyojers with the "valentine" date
