Stop making great video games into terrible anime. Looking at you, Persona 5 and The World Ends With You.
But don't sleep on the Persona 4 anime. That one was amazing.
Good to know, I'm gonna play Persona 4 Golden first regardless.
Oh agreed.
Though, somehow the golden episodes they made later were oddly weak? But the core anime is actually the best anime adaptation of a story-heavy game I can think of.
MAYBE the Tales of Symphonia anime, if you can find that anywhere.
I don't watch a ton of anime, but it's certainly the best I've seen (or heard of, for that matter). The recent Castlevania is good too, but I don't even know if that counts?
Agreed on the Golden episodes. Wasn't the same.
Perfectly balanced...
But seriously, I wasn't aware that there was a TWEWY anime... I have a friend that doesn't play games and when I want to share her videogame stuff we do it with these adaptations....
So far we have watched Ace Attorney (it was okay) and have Nier Automata on the list...
Ace attorney anime was kinda ass sweat though and vastly inferior to the games, I just wished they continued using the same japanese voice for naruhodo/phoenix mayoi/Maya for the main games as they did for the Layton crossover. It was the live action movie actors that voiced them in the crossover IIRC and it was an excellent job that felt way more natural than generic male anime voice #27 and generic female anime voice #13
In some ways I don’t fault them for the bits that made it terrible - a visual novel can be much slower and build up tension, but the anime has to blurt out the entire mystery and set of contradictions at record pace.
“Well, I’ve been listening to the prosecution’s argument for a good twelve seconds, and I’m convinced. This court finds the defendant…”
Yeah, it definitely was a downgrade, although we enjoyed some bits, perhaps I did more because I had the games fresh, and that helped me to give her more context about some scenes that deserved better (like the very amazing Gumshoe moment of case 3).
