So for some reason I was compelled to watch the infamously bad Persona Trinity Soul, and, whilst I haven't finished it yet (I hit a really emotional episode and need to take a break), this is really really good.
The intenet is just phenomenally stupid. (more on this in another post)
I mean, i guess they could mess up the last couple of episodes but, it's been a really good run that's nothing anyone complains about that.
So, let's quickly talk about Trinity Soul.
Persona Trinity Soul is a TV anime that aired during the first half of 2008, finishing up just a month before Persona 4 released. It stars a collection of characters that makes a proper summary a bit difficult. But the first act has two sets of central characters.
1. A group of police officers, led by Ryo Kanzato, the youngest chief on record, who is a persona user, as they track down the culprits of a string of Serial Killings.
2. A group of high school students, with the central character of Shin Kanzato, the younger brother of Ryo and a new transfer student. He has transfered along with his younger brother, Jun, making up what I assume to be the trinity.
The two groups are caught up in with a series of conspiracies and machinations, including the previously mentioned serial killings, a mysterious girl who explodes into features, a large submarine with missing occuopants, and an incident from 10 years ago. There's quite a bit of backstory intersecting.
What's most notable, is that right between Persona 3 and 4 is this, a story where there is no Dark Hour, Midnight Channel or Metaverse. There aren't even demons or shadows.
Every fight in Trinity Soul is Human vs Human. Persona are big bulking monsters, and fights will deal collateral damage to the surroundings, with a single misstep putting death or major injury on the cards. Users will also use them to jump to or off places they shouldn't, and generally interact with the environment.
Tonally different from a turn based RPG where you can set the field on fire or bring lightning from the heaven's for a smidge of boss damage, Trinity Soul has an element of physicality that feels a bit more true to Persona's original influences like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
This kind of trait is lacking from the anime adaptations of 4 and 5, and less apparent in 3, due to Persona users being locked to the previously mentioned supernatural realms. I don't think this would have occured, had Trinity Soul been made after Persona 4, so it feels like a mishmash.
It's very fun, I can't wait for the ending.

@eternalfratricide has a point:
"we can’t stay here!" (also from Shin !)
Misc Sentence Prompt Collection #3
“R-Right.”
Her thoughts are scrambled, nothing lines up. Have they been going around in circles? At least... At least she thinks they are. That hole in the wall, it looks familiar. Something rolls down her forehead and Naoto wipes it away. A touch too red for what she’d been expecting.
A small problem considering how almost every other joint in her body seems to be aching, there’s something wrong with them, or it’s just her mind over exaggerating the pain. Neither, all of the above, figuring it out takes a backseat.
No healing spells. No healing items. Until they reunite with the others, they’re, she’s.
She leans- No, she had been leaning against it for... some indeterminate amount of time. Long enough that Kanzato reminds her that they really need to go.
A wise choice considering what had been chasing them.
“You should... go.” Liability. That’s what she is right now.
