The Bonkurasu Brigade

As a fan of Persona 3 game, I’d often wish that there will be an anime adaptation, even more so after they released a manga adaptation of it.

And now, it’s finally come true. Even though the actual release date’s not confirmed, Persona : -trinity soul- is set 10 years after the events of Persona 3. From my lack of understanding of the Japanese langauge, I can only decipher enough to make out that 10 years later, Apathy Syndrome happens again, and the trio involved themselves in finding out the truth behind it.

Apparently the eldest brother is a police officer of the said city, so it might have some relation with the police officer that supplies weapons and armor to the characters in the Persona 3 game. It’s still unknown if the characters are able to use Persona, or even multiple Personae like the main character in P3’s able to.

From the art, I can see they totally changed the style, with only the silhouettes of the brothers resembling the style of the characters in P3. All other stylistic art is being taken away, and that alone gave minus points for being a supposedly sequel to the game. A-1 Pictures is the Production Company responsible for the anime, and I’m not too keen on trusting that new company on Persona. It only has 2 previous anime productions under its belt, namely Oofuri and another anime, Robby & Kerobby, which is a kid’s show.

I just really hope they don’t it screw up. I don’t want another Tsukihime anime. Or Devil May Cry.
