春、夏、秋を経て冬、理が出す答えを見届けて

監督 田口智久

死を見つめる季節のフィナーレに

第1章でコンテ、第2章で監督を務めてこられた劇場版「ペルソナ3」ですが、ファイナル・シーズンである第4章は、どのような気持ちで臨んだのでしょう？

田口 第3章で自分が監督としてかかわっていない劇場版「ペルソナ3」を見ることができたのが、刺激になりました。自分とはまったく違う方法論で構築されていて、僕がやったら確実にこうならないですし、なんというかジェラシーのようなものを感じまして。ああ、ペルソナって、こういうふうにつくることもできるんだ、と。それを受け止めることができたからこそ、第4章では、自分のやり方を突き詰めたフィルムにしなくてはと思いました。あとは、やっぱりフィナーレということでのプレッシャーが大きかったです。

第4章の物語の関となるのは？

田口 理と綾時の関係性ですね。そこヘシャドウの母体であるニュクスが襲来したり、それに伴ってみんなの心がダウナーになって⋯⋯という展開で、ずいぶん重いものになっています。でも、みんなが悩んでいる部分にしっかり尺を取って描いているので、映画ならではの見せ方ができているのでは、と思います。

理にスポットが当たっていきますが、どのように描きましたか？

田口 第3章に、理が旅館の池に落ちて笑うシーンがありますけど、あの理を経ての理をしっかり追っていこうと考えていました。今作では、抱えきれないほどの絶望を前に、悩み、立ち止まってしまうというところまで、みんなが落ちてしまうんですけど、そのなかで理が見つけ出す答えというのが、全4章通してのテーマでもあり、象徴的なセリフになっています。そして、それは、第3章で笑った理がいなければ、たどり着けなかった答えなんじゃないかな、と。

それから、綾時とアイギスも、重要な存在ですね。

田口 すごく��端な⋯⋯本当に超極端な言い方ですけど「綾時と理は両想い。アイギスは理に片想い」っていうのを、こっそり頭の片角に置いてました(笑)。もちろん僕独自の解釈なので、いろんなとらえ方をしてほしくもあるのですが。ただ、そうやって、アイギスがヒロイン然としているわけではないからこそ、ペルソナならではの仲間感が出る、というのもあるんですよね。

理と綾時に重点が置かれていくとなると、その二役を演じられている石田彰さんのアフレコもすさまじいものになったのでは。

田口 石田さんだけ別の週に理以外の綾時を中心とした声を録らせていただいてから、全体アフレコの週に理としてみんなといっしょに録らせていただいた感じなんですけれど、本当にすばらしかったです。演技に対するストイックさが本当にプロフェッショナルで、ご自身で「今のは少し綾時が出てしまったから」とリテイクを申し出てくださったり。

全体的にも、とてもスムーズなアフレコになったそうですね。

田口 圧倒的にスムーズでした。特に今回は静かなシーンが多くて、感情的にセリフを吐くような場面はほとんどないんですけど、その淡々とした空気感を成立させるのは難しいはずなのに、自然にスッとやってしまえるのがこのチームの方々の成せる技。こんなに研ぎ澄まされた現場は、なかなかないのではないかと。

細かな心情描写という意味では？画づくりにもこだわられたのでは？田口監督の描き出すダウナーな情景描写が楽しみです。

田口 カッティングが終わった後に、編集さんに言われたひと言が「暗っ!」でしたからね(笑)。刺されて死ぬとか大惨事が起こって死ぬとかのサスペンス的な死ではなくて、非常に観念的な死についての物語なので、精神的にどうやられていくかというのを、どう表現するかが課題で。光や色味の演出であったり、降ってくる雪の量で表現していきました。アニメで雪が降りつづけている作品もあまりないんじゃないかと思うんですけど、心情とマッチさせたいなあというところで、力を入れています。作画もすごいアニメーターさんたちが集まってくださっていて、誇張された動きというよりはリアル寄りの芝居をていねいに描いてくださっています。全然動いているように見えないところにも実は枚数が割かれていて、作画枚数もこれまででいちばん使っているんですよ。

最後に、今作を描くうえでの最大のポイントだったと考えるシーンを教えてください。

田口 ラストですね。それは第4章を担当すると決まったときから、見据えていたビジョンでもあります。第1章の春からともに季節���経てきた理と仲間たちが迎える、そのラストを見届けてほしいです。

#1 Spring of Birth

1日と1日のはざまに隠された影時間。そこにはびこる怪物・シャドウに��われて、無気力症となってしまう者が町に続出していた。対抗できるのは、ペルソナという特殊な能力をもつ者だけ。春、私立月光館学園に転校してきた結城理は、ペルソナの力に覚醒し、同じくぺルソナの力をもつ者たちが集う特別課外活動部へと引き入れられる

#2 Midsummer Knight's Dream

夏休みに屋久島旅行に向かった特別課外活動部。そこでアイギスという女の子に出会う。彼女は対シャドウ特別制圧兵装のラストナンバーであり、なぜか理のそばにいることを望むのだった。理たちは影時間の謎を追いながら、さらに新たな仲間と出会い、きずなを深めていく。だがそこにストレガと名のる者たちが現われ⋯⋯

#3 Falling Down

季節は秋。特別課外活動部は、影時間を終わらせるため、シャドウや滅びを望むストレガとの死闘を重ねていた。ある者は仲間や家族の死と向き合い、ある者は護るべき者に気づき、ある者はこれまでの戦いの意味に葛藤する。そんなとき、理の前に謎の転校生、望月綾時が現われる。その出会いの先にあるものは⋯⋯

[leovoid]

*****CALLING ALL VOICE ACTORS******

Almost 8 years ago, we had completed and uploaded the first movie Persona 3 Spring of Birth with resounding success! Unfortunately due to copyright, casting and real life issues I was forced to put the project in hiatus till further notice.

Mostly due to copyright anyway...

But recently I reuploaded the first movie without it being taken down and also partly due to the remake of P3 being announced, I was motivated to bringing the project back to life and finishing all 4 movies this time! (If you wish to confirm the legitimacy and standard of quality for the project, the 1st movie can be found here) With that said, here are a few rules to lay out before you audition #1 - Ensure mic quality is of professional quality. Treated sound environment preferable #2 - This is a long term project, please do not audition if you see yourself unable to remain on the project for more than 1 movie. #3 - If you are not cast as the character you auditioned for, that does not mean I won't possibly need your help as extras or other characters I may have forgotten in this post. I'm sure once the deadline comes out I will reach out to those of you who may have not been casted as the main, so look out for that and be sure to either provide contact information for you or contact me directly VIA Discord @LeoVoid#5449

Have fun everyone, I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you, Good luck! :)

2024-MEDIA THREAD-JANUARY

Heyyy, I going to make monthly posts about the media I see throughout the year, just for the fun of it. I want to just vibe around here and blog my opinions on the things I like. Most of the entries are written in the moment. So they may not accurately reflect my thoughts later on. I'm doing this outta fun so don't take me too seriously if you decide to engage :P

#1.-Horimiya: Piece

I watched the og show with my GF and WE LOVED IT. It's not a complicated romance anime. But that simplicity is so effective. It was a really cozy anime with good chapters dedicated to just teenage love and it's soo good at it. It excels in character so it makes sense to make a companion piece for it dedicated to just the characters… Sadly it didn't grabbed quite the same until the end :/ I think my main issue is just the kinds of stories they chose, many are funny and enjoyable, but the weakest ones are the ones that have little payoff. EP10 for example was kinda dissapointing for me because the payoff didn't resolved the main conflict. Also I really disliked the teacher character, He gets a ton of screentime on the later half and is such a bore. Overall, is fine if you watch it along side the og or after the og but the main show is WAY better.

.

#2.-ORAS' national dex

Not really a piece of media per se, but it was a big project that I started last year around february/march and that I left for a while. This is my first National dex completion and I'm honestly quite proud of it. Will admit, I used PKHex and PKSM to transfer mons from my ds and gba save files to fill the entries I needed. But I grabbed them from my own save files + I had help from my Bestie (I also inserted event mons like the mythicals but like, how else was I supposed to get them gdfñsglk). This was quite straightfoward to do since blissey bases streamline grinding SO MUCH. I love ORAS so much and i'm glad this was the game where I got the full nat dex (not a living one but I ain't doing that yet hell nahhh).

.

#3.-Given (TV Anime)

Damn great! It was a really short and sweet show. I'm queer myself. But I haven't gotten too deep into queer media yet, so I'm really glad that this was a really nice anime showing MLM in a rather good light. It's very simple but the characters are so loveable and fun to watch. The music side of it takes a while to fully go nuts, but it has a really warm focus and as someone who also loves music. This was inspiring even dslgkj. I'd love to see a second season sometime.

.

#4.-Kung Fu Sion (rewatch)

Still one of my favorite movies, I managed to catch up more details and jokes this time so it was a nice chill rewatch lol. I kinda wanna get into more Kung Fu movies after watching Ip-Man last year.

.

#5.-Given Movie (2020)

It was really soft and a great followup of the show. I will admit, I'd like it more if it wasn't for the apartment scene being a bit too creepy. It's not the worst but it was very uncomfortable for me. Regardless it was a nice conclusion to one of the unresolved plot threads from the anime. The last part of the movie was so damn sweet man ngl.

.

#6.-Persona 3: Spring of birth

Last stop before Reload comes out, I'm quite excited for P3R since the leaked proof of concept. I've already replayed the main game with FES (minus the answer but whatevs). And the movies are going to be my last P3 recap. So for the first one I gotta say, I'm let down. It wasn't horrible. But it felt like an average anime recap movie to me. Its pacing was too fast and I'm quite let down by this decision. Akihiko and Junpei get very shafted in terms of screentime which is sad, because their character flaws are stablished in this part of the story. For this quarter of the main game (which is easily the weakest of the game imo), it would've benefited a ton from a more character focused story. Fuuka got a pretty nice arc compared to the game, but everyone else lacked screentime. The animation and overall style is sick, but I do wished it wasn't so "on model" for most of the runtime and action scenes, it feels a bit rigid at times. Overall, is just a fairly standard recap of the first quarter of P3. 1 down, 3 more to go.

.

#7.-Persona 3: Midsummer Knight's dream

WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST MOVIE. It feels less like a recap, and more like an actual adaptation. It still has a fast pacing, but it isn't as distracting now that the plot always moves foward, with substancial scenes and character moments for almost everyone. I really like how Ken and Shinji were done here, it has a way more personal focus imo. Ken shines way more here than in the og game, his backstory is so well adapted in this film. Shinji is excellent too, they really use every moment he's on screen to show you more of his character and I love it. This whole movie has excellent storytelling and it's a great adaptation of the Ken/Shinji storyline. The only sour spot that distracts me is Makoto, I kinda get what they are trying to do with him. But it doesn't land for me, I wish we saw more of his inner thoughts and monologue, instead of relying so much on his dialogue. Because he lowkey stands with strega on not ending the dark hour (WHICH IS A VERY BOLD MOVE AND I LIKE IT). But he doesn't express said feelings in a compelling or interesting way. I don't mind quiet MC's. But I'm not digging this Makoto thus far tbh. Maybe movie 3 and 4 will change my mind. Also, the animation is a bit better now! It breaks model more often and it feels way more dynamic and fun to look at in action scenes. It isn't perfect, but it's a great improvement!

.

#8.-Persona 3: Falling down

MAN THIS WAS SOO GOOOD, So far this is my favorite P3 movie, it was so thematically rich and substancial. Everyone had their moment to shine and the overarching theme of letting go and the fear of attachment was CHEF KISS. Makoto is great in this movie, while I still hold the opinion that he was very flawed in the last two movies, in this one he steals the spotlight. We now see his inner thoughts and feelings. Tying most of the cast resolves to his own struggles is soo good. He essentially becomes THE antithesis of P3, and it's a great way to develop him, we get a good a idea of him as a character while still keeping his quiet and reserved personality. Junpei gets the love he deserves, and just like the game, he has one of the best arcs in this story. I still feel that he was robbed of more because of the first two movies, but in this one he gets the entire spotlight and it's great. My only complain is that Akihiko and Ken do get sidelined a bit, and their resolve isn't as satisfactory as everyone else, since they start the movie already moving on from the aftermath of the last movie. Which can take you out of it because there's no real payoff for their feelings other than that one pawlonia mall scene but I still find it quite underwhelming. One more to go!

.

#9.-Lupin the third: The bloodspray of Goemon Ishikawa

I really want to get into more adaptations of Arsene Lupin. And Lupin the Third sounds really promising. I've already seen Castle of Cagliostro a good amount over the past 3 years and I really like the vibes of this franchise. I saw this movie bc one of my friends really liked the animation in one scene and as a Standalone story is neat. But I did felt that I lacked some kind of context and apparently I did. Since this is a whole series apparently. Will return to this one eventually once I have the proper context, regardless it was a fun 50 minute watch.

.

#10.-Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

Ok so I played this game mostly because I want to get a Ribbon master Scizor. It was either getting thru this game once so I can get the Scyther, or playing Colosseum in japanese so I can get Scizor with the E-reader functionality. So not much of a choice but anyways. I mention this because admitedtly, I kinda speedran the game so I was able to transfer my pokemon to my Emerald save file. So I skipped a ton of extra content. Hell most of the time I fainted the Shadow Pokemon because it was easier and I barely change my team. Regardless, I'm still rather dissapointed with this game. I played a bit of colosseum last year and it was ok. It had a neat premise and concepts that I wanted to see more if. I didn't finished it mostly because my emulator config was garbo, but I didn't hated it. It was a very slow paced game with tons of issues like the long battle animations and clunky purification mechanics. But it was an interesting game that I would've completed if I had the means to do so at the time. XD however left me dissapointed because of the premise and story. It was quite dull for me and nothing grabbed my interest. Colosseum wasn't peak fiction or anything. But its premise felt more interesting to me. A rogue pokemon trainer that captures shadow pokemon from evil trainers? Quite the sick concept ngl. XD has a child protag that is sent to do the work of everyone else. It's such a silly thing to critize the narrative of this game solely on the premise. But at the very least colosseum had a better narrative premise that made me interested in watching how the story unfolds. XD feels like your usual Pokemon narrrative, but if it was only focused on the "evil team" Subplot and nothing else, it just doesn't work for me. And because it was so centered on battling dull grunts over and over again, I was very bored throughout the whole game. I could probably have a better opinion after a replay, but as of now I'm dissapointed.

.

#11.-Black Rock Shooter OVA (rewatch)

Small rewatch with my gf. I still really live the cozy vibes and the simple, yet effective story. I vastly prefer the 2012 anime (may rewatch soon who knows), but I respect this little OVA a lot. I lovee the animation and I relate a ton with the story. Let's go lesbians.

.

12.-Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Disney)

My GF LOVES Percy Jackson, so this was a must watch for both. As an introduction to this series. Is pretty good imo, I might not get everything yet (since it's a slightly abridged retelling of the books according to my GF). But this was a pretty good first season. I really like the main conflict and drama of this first part and I hope it delivers a banger season 2.

.

#13.-Persona 3: Winter of Rebirth

F u c k The best P3 movie by far. I literally have no complaints, that was a perfect adaptation of the last story arc of the game. I'm amazed tbh, it was so damn good. These movies got better as they went along. And i'm so glad they didn't stuck with just re-telling the original game like the first movie did. This movie is P3 as a whole, and it embodies the game perfectly. Not much to say dude, it's peak. As of writing Reload has just came out, and sadly I won't be able to get the game on release, but damn am I reallyy looking foward to that first playthrough. Hopefully I will be able to blog it in this year's thread >:3

.

If you reached this far thanks, hope u have a good day :]

Persona 3 the Movie: #1 Spring of Birth - Filmes Online Fácil

A história de Persona 3 realiza-se em uma cidade japonesa moderna, construída e financiada pela Kirijo Corporation. Devido aos acontecimentos ocorridos no passado, há uma "Dark Hour": um período de tempo que existe entre a meia-noite e o próximo dia que só poucas pessoas podem ver; aqueles que não estão conscientes se encontram congelados em caixões. A Dark Hour traz a curva da realidade; a Gekkoukan High School, onde a maioria dos personagens frequentam a escola durante o dia, à noite se torna um enorme torre com labirintos chamada "Tartarus", que possui bestas chamadas Shadows que estão à vagar e proteger certas áreas, às que se encontram fora do Tartarus, predam sobre as mentes das pessoas ainda consciente durante esse tempo, deixando as vítimas em estado quase catatônico fora da Dark Hour.

STORY 「影時間」にはびこる異形の怪物・シャドウに対抗できるのは、ぺルソナという特殊な能力をもつ者だけ。ぺルソナの力に覚醒した主人公・結城理は、特別課外活動部の仲間とともに長時間の真相を追うことになる

日常の生々しさとバトルのクールさ

一日の終わりと一日の始まり。そのはざまにきみは何を視る？

アニメーション化が待ち望まれていたゲーム「ペルソナ3」がついに劇場版シリーズへと昇華した。第一章の監督を務めるのは秋田谷典昭。「女神転生」の第一作からのファンだという彼が、動きだした劇場版「ペルソナ3」を語る。

「岸(誠二)さんともAICさんとも��縁があるのにスケジュールにご縁がなくて、TVアニメ『ペルソナ4』にはかかわれなかったんですよね。それが残念で、やりたいやりたいと言っていたら、今回声をかけていただけて。そこから参加させていただきました」

岸が監督したTVアニメ「ペルソナ4」は、原作に通底するテンポ感をアニメに描き出し、原作を知らぬ者の心をも掴んだ作品だ。では、劇場版「ペルソナ3」の核となるのは

「スタイリッシュさ、ですね。『ペルソナ4』では“熱さ”がポイントだとしたら、『ペルソナ3』は“クールさ”が魅力。ペルソナとともに戦うという世界観は共通していますが、空気感としては正反対かもしれません」

物語は、私立月光館学園高等学校に主人公・結城理が転校してくるところから始まる。原作での主人公はプレイヤーキャラのため性格設定が固定されていないが、劇場版ではどんな主人公が誕生するのだろう？

「とても重要なポイントですよね。実は、ほとんどシナリオができ上がっていた段階で、キャラづけをひっくり返したこともありました。初め、 主人公をクールにしすぎていて。みんなで『いいね』って言って進めてたんですけど、ふと、はたしてこれは愛される主人公なのか？と省みて。 そこからまた揺り戻しがあって、最終的には、石田彰さんのお芝居が最後のピースをはめてくださった感じです。『あ、これが“結城理”だ』と答えを見つけたような感覚でした」

「ペルソナ」といえば、日常シーンとバトルシーンのコントラストも気になるところ。「ペルソナ3」でバトルが展開されるのは、一日と一日のはざまにある「影時間」のあいだだ。

「日常は特別課外活動部とのコミュ感を意識しながらも、リアリティのある群像劇を。一方で、バトルはタガを外して、思い切りビジュアル重視で。今回はペルソナだけではなく人間キャラもそれぞれ武器を持って戦うので、アクションエンターテインメントとしての気持ちよさも、より感じていただけるのでは」

監督イチオシのシークエンスを問うと、「ラスト」との答えが。第一章のその1カットにたどり着くために、結城理の小さな心の動きをていねいに積み重ね、でき上がったのがこのフィルムなのだ。

公開は11月23日より。特別課外活動開始まで、あと少し。

However it was described as being a simple and straightforward movie which lacked a suitable sense of closure. Critics praised the animation techniques used in the film with focus on its dark visual style. It made a gross earning of over US$1.9 million at the end of 2013. The film premiered at Tokyo's Shinjuku Wald 9 cinema on Novemfollowed by its release across Japan on November 23, 2013. The characterization of Makoto Yuki was noted as being particularly difficult during production due to his concept in the original game.Ī promotional campaign was launched by Aniplex which also included the release of trailers and merchandise by making use of various mechanisms of the Persona 3 game as they applied to the real world. The committee that was involved in Persona 4: The Animation was selected for the film and included music composer Shoji Meguro and supervisor Seiji Kishi, both veterans in works of the Megami Tensei franchise. Aniplex later announced a Fall 2013 release date and that the main voice acting cast of the original PlayStation 2 game would reprise their roles in the film. After awakening to an ability called the Persona, Makoto finds himself intertwined in the battle against the Shadows with his new schoolmates.ĭevelopment of the film was first announced in a teaser trailer during the limited theatrical release of Persona 4 The Animation: The Factor of Hope on June 9, 2012.

What Up Nerds?!

I am here today to give you not one movie review, but 4! The reason I am doing this is because this movie has four parts to it and I think it’d be a shame to jut do one and not the rest. The movie I chose to review is: Persona 3!

Persona is a game series, and like other popular game series, it got its spawn of movies and anime series. Persona 3 is by far my favorite game out of the whole series. The darker tone and story is what drew me in and I love all of the characters we are given. I also really liked the P3P version as it introduced a female protagonist. Of corse knowing about the game or playing the game before hand will enhance your movie experience and create a sense of nostalgia, it is not required to be able to enjoy the films. You will be able to follow along just fine and enjoy it. I will also keep this review spoiler free!

The reviews will be as follows:

1)Spring of Birth

2)Midsummer Knights Dream

3)Falling Down

4) Winter of rebirth

Films: 4

Release:

November 23, 2013 – January 23, 2016

Directors: Noriaki Akitaya (No. 1), Tomohisa Taguchi (No. 2 & 4), Keitaro Motonaga (No. 3)

Plot:

Makoto recently transfers to Iwatodai high school and finds himself mixed up in a supernatural happening. He gains a special power known as a persona and becomes part of group known as SEES, Specialized Extracurricular Extermination Squad. Their goal is to protect the people of Iwatodai against monsters known as shadows that appear during the hidden 25th hour; also known as the Dark Hour. In place of the school, a building known as Tartarus appears where most of the shadows appear. It seems to be the key to everything that’s happening, but why?

This movie is a great start to the series. It encompasses the darker feeling and tone the game before it had. It’s not common to start off a movie or series with the tone of death, but that’s what we get here. We open with the dark hour starting and Mokoto walking past coffins that he seems to be blissfully unaware of. We also start with a suicide. This makes it so you know what you’re in for.

While there are some lighter moments, the tone doesn’t let up. Which is something that the game done as well. And this is where the adaption came in great. The switch form game to anime was done beautifully and the Personas and fight scenes are exquisite. The way they done well to keep the darker tone is in the way they introduced and made Mokoto.

Our protagonist in the game series can be interpreted in different ways depending on dialogue choices and what the player themselves see. There are times that when movies and anime adapt form moldable protagonists, they make them “yes men” and make them flat. But not persona. Mokoto becomes this very dramatic and dark personality. It gives you a new experience to the movies that game players can enjoy. Gives you a fresh take on something yo y already horn dear to your heart. It’s a subtle change, but one that I tended to like very well.

The rest of the cast stays true to their game personalities. They offer up varying perspectives on situations and bring in the same tensions as the game had. Familiarity is always key to adaptations. Yukari doesn’t have the courage or confidence she needs to fight. Fukka is an emotional wreck. Junpei thinks he worthless. Mitsuru is a strong leader who takes responsibility for literally everything. Then Akihiko doesn’t give two fucks. Put them together and you got one hell of a dynamic team trying to work together.

The presentation of the film is extremely amazing. From lighting to design, I think it’s a 10/10 mate. The orange hues let you know their in the from. The the green lugging lets you know that you’re in the dark hour. The lighting here does a fantastic job for giving you some amazing PC and phone backgrounds. Characters designs, especially persons and shadows, are masterfully done. All of this combined makes those cutscenes form the game look even more epic. That entrance scene to Mokoto’s persona just left me in awe.

The last thing I’ll touch on is the music. We have a mix of the original game sound tack and new tracks. Of corse the new tracks were also made by the amazing Shoji Meguro.

Overall I give this a 10/10. It is an amazing adaptation and subtly gives you new takes on an already know classic. It also gives anyone who doesn’t know about Persona an engaging entrance into this series. It leaves you wanting more, and a good thing too since there are three more movies.

One thing I’d like to point out is the fact we had a change in staffing. And with this change in staffing came a different take on how to adapt the game to a movie. While the first movies was able to give us some fresh new takes on the source material, Midsummer Knights Dream stuck very very closely to the source material. This one movie covers a lot of material form the games, but still had ample time to explore each plot point to its fullest.

As the team begins to defeat the Full moon bosses to end the dark hour, we begin to see doubt within the team. Maybe they shouldn’t erase the dark hour. Maybe they should keep it around.

We are introduced to four new characters: Shinjirou, Ken, Kuromaru and Aigis. While the addition of these characters is needed, they became the only characters who had development. Junpei, Makoto and Yukari had this dynamic going on and tension got high, but that was all tossed aside. Junpei becomes a background character and Yukari is almost forgettable. These three are the focal point of the series and yet they got put on the back burner. Yet, I almost don’t care. Why? Because what they did when focusing on our new cast was phenomenal. They took a character that would be hated and made us understand why they are the way they are. Why they act that way. It’s is interpreted with such passion and care that I can’t help but utterly enjoy it. It makes the back burner forgivable. Once again the visuals and music are on point. So many screen shortcake moments and I could listen to the sound track off days. 10/10.

Even though we have two different takes on the series and two different lenses, I do t think it hinders it. In fact I think it enhances it. It gives us Persons fans what we deserve in an adaptation and it also gives that “player choice” vibe with the different tellings between one and two.

This movie installment fell down. Literally.

If there was ever such a thing as a filler movie in a series, this would be it. While there is a lot of source material for fall, it’s not quite enough to fill the movie run time. So this is where the director took another creative spin to fill in the rest.

During this season we are introduced to social links. Social links are a way to gain new powers and new relationships in the game. As a player of the games I liked this route as you got to see more familiar game mechanics come to life. While I did enjoy this, I did feel that the pacing was a bit off. Which is a bummer since I think the first two movies done really well with its pacing.

While I generally liked the characters, development and story just as the others there is something that this film lacked in comparison. That was the animation. Character designs were disproportionate throughout. We have some scenes where Junpei is taller than the door frame and others where he’s normal size. Then there was this one weird scene where Junpei comes crawling form a room like a weird human-animal hybrid. The lack of CG took away from the backgrounds of the movie and the cats just looked plain weird. The scenes weren’t as captivating and I feel some of the darker tone was lost. There could be an argument as they were focusing mor on the social links and the fact that Makoto was trying to distance himself away from everyone in order to try and save them.

Im keeping this review short and sweet because there’s nothing much else to say. My overall rating is going to be 8.5/10. Part of me just can’t forgive the animation problems and pacing. So this became the least favorite of the series, but still enjoyable.

We returned to greatness my fiends.

We are back to great animation and lighting for those amazing background pictures!

This movie also returned to really straying from the game script wise. Which I still don’t mind as it gave me a new perspective on the game I love and I really love here they went with it. The tone of death and darkness are heavily played on, more so than the first. Which makes she’s as this is the final movie in this dark series. A lot of the scenes have more of a horror feel to them which I think fits nicely for what we are about to experience. I mean this is supposed to be the end of days here.

This new material, such as Yukari’s new character story, helps the Fall seem more real. All these changes gave the movie some nice thematic arcs. The story is the most internally consistent among the four movies due to all these heavy changes in plot. It doesn’t go through the sequences from the game as some sort of check list. And that is something I am thankful for.

Winter of rebirth captures the heart of Persona 3 the most and makes this installment my favorite out of the series. The changes made to the film make big some Persona 3 fans who are die heard to an exact replica of the game may have som trouble with this movie. But I implore you to have an open mind. Make sure to watch the other three as you do need the context from them to under and what’s going on since they deviate from the game plot.

Overall, I’m giving this movie a 10/10.

For the whole series, my rating is a 9.5/10. Which is one hell of a good rating for a movie series based on a game.
