and so...WTF happened?
I have so far watched...7 episodes of Persona - trinity soul -... The artwork is flawless, the guys are cute enough for me to fawn over them... At first, I had no idea what it was about but I quite liked
the style of drawing.
Kanzato family
Shin Kanzato (神郷 慎, Kanzato Shin?)
Age: 17
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto
Seventeen-year-old protagonist. He is a second-year student at Naginomori Gakuen High School. He always carries a pendant with the shape of a feather which is a memento of his father. He also has an interest in art, having several models and is frequently seen sketching. Strangely, his artworks always resemble Personas and in one case, Igor. In the first episode, he awakens his own Persona. One of the enigmatic Outsiders (rogue Persona users) also commented that Shin's Persona is of "Special A-Level".
Ryō Kanzato (神郷 諒, Kanzato Ryō?)
Age: 28
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu
Shin's brother, eldest of the three at twenty-eight. His personality is stoic to the point of being cold, even towards his younger brothers. He entered the police in order to investigate the strange incidents, becoming the youngest superintendent in history. In the first episode he is revealed to have a "Persona" of his own, though he doesn't use an Evoker like the main characters did in Persona 3. A bottle of pills was briefly shown on his desk, perhaps similar to the suppressant drugs Strega used.
Jun Kanzato (神郷 洵, Kanzato Jun?)
Age: 14
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro
The youngest of the Kanzato brothers, and a third-year student at Naginomori Gakuen Middle School. He began to lose the will to live after an incident that happened at the time their parents disappeared eight years ago. He had a twin sister, Yuki, whose dress he keeps. Oddly, Ryō overheard Jun seemingly speaking to a girl, presumably Yuki. This might indicate a spiritual body sharing, or multiple-personality disorder. During his visit to the beach, the water's reflection was showing his twin sister summoning her persona but not Jun.
I ripped that from wikipedia lol. Anyway, this anime is based on the game, a sequel to the PERSONA 3, which I never played, have no idea what its about etc. I still have no idea what's going on in the anime. The plot continues to thicken, develop...and the whole time, my mind is screaming ????? but yeh, I'll stay around watching cause it's cool enough. I'm also beginning to like the older brother Ryou much more, cause (1) looks lol (2) episode 6, I'm not sure if it's a filler but Ryou is defintely not as cold as he seems. Outwardly, he's cold, aloof, only 'fulfilling his duties' as an older brother to the younger two...but in actual fact, he wants to protect them from the Reverse incidents that are happening. And the whole bear-suit case was pretty cute too. Initially, serious Ryou in a bear suit was totally out of the world but lol, the flashback made sense.
Rahxephon also deserves a quick mention, after I finished it. Apparently, Ayato retunes the world to one where he and Haruka aren't seperated and they have a daughter Quon, which is a baby version of the Quon. In fact, wtf the ending was still confusing. There was a Mishima Reika before, the girl in Ayato drew and the form Isshitori took because it was what Ayato wanted but now, it's a Mishima Haruka...(?) and Ayato looks like Dr Itsuki...except hair is grey and not black...And um, since Quon is the 'first human', she's been reborn? Is she dead? What happens to Tokyo Jupiter next? And the Jupiter phenomenon...Did the Murians fail? If Ayato retunes the world, wtf has happened?? AND WHY THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MEGUMI AND KIM??? why did Sou-chan die? that was SO cruel!
So, the ending sucked, just like Darker Than Black, WORSE than Darker Than Black. The art was great, the story was pretty good too, until the last few episodes, where I got tired of Kamina Ayato "boku wa..boku wa..." etc "I'm me!" and other such revelations about his own existence. Also, the Mamoru factor/pun was funny and lame. I feel sorry for the guy.
I read the Planetes manga...it seems PRETTY far apart from the anime... so I'll watch the anime at a later date.
