The first volume of the "Persona 5" manga "p5 mementos mission" was officially released, and the author Tsuto Tsuto posted a batch of original character images on Twitter.
The vast majority of game fans have left messages on Twitter and the game community that the cost of comic production is lower, the play space is larger, and it will be more worth looking forward to than the A1 version of the animation.
Persona 5 is the fifth orthodox sequel to the RPG "Persona" series developed and produced by Atlus, which was first released in Japan on September 15, 2016, and released in Asia, Europe and the United States in 2017, with cumulative sales of nearly 2.5 million.
After the "p5" game re-raised the popularity of the series of products to the peak, the official announced that it would do IP derivatives through special animation, continue to expand the influence of the "Persona" series of stories, and also pave the way for the next sequel.
So, at the end of 2016 and July 2017, ATLUS announced that it had cooperated with A-1 Pictures and CloverWorks to produce the special animation "Persona 5 -the day breakers-" and the TV animation "Persona 5".
At present, both animations have been broadcast, and Chinese mainland exclusively broadcast by Bilibili, but the popularity has reached expectations.
Whether in the Japanese market or in China, the "p5" animation has chosen the setting of a short plot due to cost problems, giving people the feeling of haste and "making animation for the sake of making animation".
According to most users, the total number of the two animations is within 30 episodes, and the plot is protracted and incoherent, which not only does not play a role in completing the background of the game story and enriching the character image, but even the plot in the game is not explained.
Therefore, compared with the cost and production cycle of the animation are more tight, game fans are more optimistic about the form of comics, if atlus can develop new works at the same time through comics to complete the old story, and launch new characters, new story lines to pave the way for new works, then "p6" may become a new generation of "invincible".
