Review of Persona 3 the Movie: #1 Spring of Birth

I'm writing this as a fan of the Persona 3 video game. Persona 4 the Animation was very well done and this movie was equally good at both keeping true to the source and even expanding on it. The thing I liked was the development of Makoto; how he went from beyond aloof to truly appreciating the people around him and wanting to protect his teammates even to the point of getting seriously hurt as well. I kind of wished that the fight scenes had been more action packed but they were still great. Unlike P4A though it did not include much involvement with Social Linkcharacters aside from showing them every so often.

All in all I would say that; if you are a fan of the game, watch this movie because you won't be disappointing; and if you haven't played the game, GET ON IT!
