So let’s leave those BEARied and forgotten and go back to what I was talking about. Sorry for the emBEARassement can I call it an Innocent Sin and be spared the “ Dark Hour on a floor with Death” punishment? “There is no Persona 3 anime-kuma.” Right, and no Tsukihime one either. I mean do you rememBEAR how cold and distant they were in Trinity Soul where… “I TOLD YOU NEVER TO MENTION THAT NAME AGAIN!” Woops, I forgot. They are so lively and I really like how they made them act so natural, without those stiff motions from the game. But in this case, they are doing a fine job so far and I feel how the characters feel. The result was terrible as it felt like they were jumping from one scene to another without showing the in-between battles and the game engine generated dialogues. But it’s not like I haven’t seen other anime where they tried to keep the cut scenes identical. “You make it sound BEARy good so far-kuma.” Indeed I do. Which is both cool AND saves the makers time and money. Heck, this is also the first time the soundtrack was left the same from the game instead of making a new one for the anime version. They even use the same visual effects to depict emotions, which is a great treat for those who played the game. And by faithful I mean it LITERALLY! It’s like I am watching the cut scenes from the game with more variety in motions, camera angles, and the protagonist having a voice. Until that happens (IF it happens) I consider this anime to be the most faithful videogame adaptation ever made. “Don’t say that-kuma! It’s an unBEARable thought.” Ok Teddie, I stop. Who knows, maybe by tomorrow the show will magically be horrible and Hitler will be alive and have ruled the world with robotic knights. ![]() Maybe this was a conspiracy by some villain who spreads rumours as means to alter reality if enough people believe in them. “Grizzly!” And yet those rumours are BEARily true! So ok, there are some sloppy scenes in each episode but they hardly take out from your enjoyment. All that made me have even lower expectations than normal, since an adaptation is by default bad and with such nasty things being said behind the scenes it should be completely horrible. But guess what, so far Persona 4 appears to have broken the circle of bad karma and as an exception it looks GORGEOUS! “Hooray!” The thing is, there have been lots of bad rumours considering the production of the show something about someone stealing the original copy of an episode before it airs, the staff being unpaid for months, and many being ready to drop the project. “That’s sad-kuma.” Yes Teddie, I agree, BEAR with it. No matter how many times I tried to enjoy them, they felt like an Eternal Punishment. They were always messing something up, such as making the characters robotic, presenting events as dull as possible, or just stopping in the middle of nowhere. ![]() Game adaptations were never successful in capturing the mood of the original.
