At least we got our favorite parts from the game in animation form.

The replacement voice actors for Chihaya Mifune and Kaneshiro also reprised their roles in Persona 5 Royal.

The voice acting is still great, as the main cast (from both Japanese (except for the Original Persona 5 Chihaya Mifune and Junya Kaneshiro's voice actors who passed away) and English dubs (except for the Original Persona 5 Tae Takemi's voice actress) reprise their roles.

The character cut-ins (Like in Persona 3 and Persona 4) are a nice touch.

The animation is sometimes nice to look at.

Some funny moments like where Ren tells the maid he and his friends hired that he's a dad.The Day Breakers and the two OVA's: 'Proof of Justice' and 'A Magical Valentine's Day' didn't even get an English dub.The infamous anime version of the All-Out-Attack.The soundtrack is heavily recycled from the games (unlike the Persona 4 anime, where most songs from the game was remixed, and the Persona 3 movies, which had several new tracks).The events of in the episodes feel rushed.Ren Amamiya/Joker talks even more than he did in the game, when in the game, Ren was a silent protagonist who rarely had any lines.The Phantom Thieves also took down Masayoshi Shido in just a few minutes.When in the game, it took everyone from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to defeat him. Arsene is so overpowered that during his fight with Loki, he kills him within a minute.Even the Game tells the Story way better than this. Sometimes, many of the episodes can be hard to sit through.

Like during the fight between Ren Amamiya/Joker and Goro Akechi/Crow/Black Mask, the other Phantom Thieves don't contribute to the fight that much. It changed some of the events from the game in the anime.It doesn't really retell the events from the game that well.The animation can look stiff and choppy at times.
