Persona Trinity Soul Anthology Panel

So I kinda made this on a whim after receiving my latest package, which had the Persona Trinity Soul anthologies. While I didn’t check them out fully yet, they seem to be filled with content. Also since this is a quick edit and translation, there was no proofreading or anything, it’s kinda somewhat experimental. Anyway, to the Trinity Soul fans (and perhaps Akihiko fans), I hope you enjoy!

It's kinda funny and a little awkward how I keep seeing pieces of artwork of the Persona protagonists excluding Shin from things, y'know like redraws of that meme of the people at a party staring at the camera in disgust, and people commenting "oh lol the guy from trinity souls? Who cares about him?" 'Cause

I do.

I care.

[acidity789]

Had a dream about persona 2 where basically nothing changed except Nyarlathotep was streaming everything Tatsuya does like a reaction channel who clearly pre watched the show and is acting all smug about 'guessing' what was about to happen next. This affected me so much i downloaded fucking ibis paint just to make this fuck ass image

[personatrinitysoulreal]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IM SO TIRED OF TRINITY SOUL ONLY BEING MENTIONED FOR JOKES EVERYONE GO WATCH THE SHOW NOW

here to talk my pts shit again!

anyone who thinks that trinity soul says that "all adults can't have personas" and use it as a reason to shit on it have a fundamental misunderstanding of what personas are to the series and what they represent. yes, there are adults with personas. obviously. we fucking know this. you don't have to point out zenkichi, or maruki, or adachi, p2ep, or even fucking kandori. persona trinity soul is not JUST saying that "oh adults can't have personas". IT IS SAYING THAT THE FUNDAMENTAL INDIVIDUALITY AND SELF REFLECTION NEEDED TO GAIN AND KEEP YOUR PERSONA ARE LOST WITH GROWING UP TO BLEAK SOCIETY. why do you think Ryō, a fucking cop, has to take that medicine to keep his persona? because he's LOST TOUCH WITH HIMSELF. THAT'S THE POINT. THE ADULTS THAT *HAVE* PERSONAS ARE IN TOUCH WITH THEIR BELIEFS AND AREN'T JUST BLIND TO WHAT SOCIETY IS. THEY AREN'T DISTORTED. THAT'S THE POINT THAT'S THE POINT THAT'S THE POINT

[sleepydrownedrat]

I'VE BEEN SAYING EXACTLY THIS I LOVE YOU.

This show is my favorite Persona story because of how well it ties into Jungian Psychology and the ways that Personas tie into the characters- and how they sort of appear as allegories for trauma. It's so fuckign good and it gets dismissed so often which is a shame because the show is really awesome I think.

[personatrinitysoulreal]

EXACTLY YOU GET IT. i really really wish people would actually consume the show and THINK about it rather than just writing it off as a dumb spinoff that doesn't matter. the story is so good

burning mens soul has absolutely decimated trinity souls reputation because no one talks about how good soul drive or suicides love story is

[personatrinitysoulreal]

im back just to keep yapping about persona trinity soul what a surprise. so i bought the CD soundtrack and it's goated. i love the soundtrack. i love pts. soul drive is a great song. "a visitor". "greatmother". "a binding prayer". both fucking anime openings except you cant find breakin' through anywhere on youtube for some reason. the soundtrack blends futuristic synth with classical orchestra and jazz and THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BAD TRACK.

love this shit dude. it's peak it's so peak it's SO PEAK

[personatrinitysoulreal]

People say Trinity Soul is bad and don't even get up the most fucked up phone call of all time.

'Morimoto? She's with me'.

NO LIKE ACTUALLY. that shit fucked me up

[phoenixlooper]

UNMATCHED SHOTS.

UNMATCHED.

you get me

i made this blog for the sole reason of talking about persona trinity soul btw

i'm rewatching persona trinity soul (again) and honestly this show is awesome y'know if anyone actually ever watched it without the preconceived notion of "oh haha funny persona song" or the notion of it being already bad they'd like it. this show is GOOD. it has great symbolism and even though it's fairly different from the persona of today it still holds its own. I think people now tend to compare it to things like persona 5, which came out almost a DECADE after. This show is literally from like 2008 you can't reasonably expect it to be anything like persona 5 or even persona 4. i think that in actuality it's decently similar at least in themes to the persona two duology (my favorite games in the series by FAR). i think tatsuya would have some choice words for ryo. shin and tatsuya would definitely get along and so would the juns that's all i'm saying.

i'm holding onto the slim hope of the next persona game being at least trinity soul related, and even though i know it's probably NEVER happening because atlus refuses to acknowledge it anymore, i really really want it to happen. pts is a "sequel" to p3, which just got a remake. trinity soul takes place in 2019-2020, the next feasible stop in the timeline after p5. the color is allegedly green for persona 6, which is shin's persona color i think. that's all i'm saying. there's probably not a real way to make the plot of trinity soul into a game because of the formatting of the rest of the series but i just really think it'd be cool. i just want atlus to acknowledge it again at least a little bit.

it actually fucking kills me that every time i mention persona trinity soul someone will just fucking go "check it out im in the house like carpet" it makes me want to SCREAM. ever since the song resurfaced people dont even BOTHER TO CHECK OUT THE SHOW. IT'S JUST THE MEME OF THE SONG AND IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i joined a discord server and someone brought it up EACH TIME. four SEPARATE PEOPLE in the span of like two days. i made a tumblr account to look at persona trinity soul stuff to see if there was anything ive missed (since ive been scouring for like a year for content of the show) and i IMMEDIATELY got bombarded on the most recent posts and it's all just burning men's soul. you all make me sick

Reblogging this one with sheer exasperation because Im so tired of Burning Man's Soul being the one thing people know about Persona Trinity Soul.

A perfectly fine anime original series inspired by the persona games, that I think rules!

Except. people only know this song. Which doesn't even play in full.

The memetic nature of this song is So Much.....

[phoenixlooper]

So apparently the first Persona Trinity Soul opening isn't even on youtube in any proper form? So I'm putting it on tumblr I guess.

[phoenixlooper]

Persona Trinity Soul is a really curious entry in the Persona series.

Whilst 3 is in sorts, a soft reboot, following wholey new innovative structures compared to all of megaten before it, this was neccessary thanks to the Persona 2 games being the greatest sequels of all time twice in a row.

Persona 3 was released in July 2006, half a year before the release of the Playstation 3.

Persona 4 was released in the July of 2008 for the Playstation 2, with basically all of Persona 3's development team involved.

Persona Trinity Soul was announced in July 2007, and aired weekly from January to June 2008, before the release of Persona 4.

This is really interesting because it seems (according to ANN), really only had Character Designer in terms of production design overlap, with Soejima, The Persona 3 Art director and character designer, designing the cast of Trinity Soul.

Almost essentially filling in the time between game releases.

But unlike Persona 4, Persona Trinity Soul seems to really take influence from Persona 2.

It also uses the anime medium to present a story that would be more difficult to display within the style of an RPG.

Fast paced dreams, illusions, hallucinations, symbolic imagery, these are trickier to present within the confines of how Atlus designs video games.

It also gives real weight to Persona, they're powerful ghostly beings that can bring real destruction. This is something that naturally wanes when you can use a huge flame attack and deal like 10% of a mini-bosses hp. It's an acceptable break, but the anime can present some real carnage with them.

I was going somewhere with this, idk, trinity soul is a really cool original story.
