Persona 5, the latest in the JRPG series that performed surprisingly well in the UK but had some really weird streaming restrictions, will be getting an anime series. Made by A-1 pictures, the show will be out some time in 2018.

This doesn’t come as a massive surprise, since Persona 4 had an anime series too. There’s a teaser trailer for the new series that’s probably not available in your region, so here’s a link to a mirror too.

The trailer features all your favourites, including Ryuji, Yusuke, Anne, and the protagonist (called Hero in the trailer, rather than Joker). It also shows Morgana the cat, so presumably the anime will automatically turn off and make you go to bed if it thinks you’re up too late.
