"Shin Megami Tensei" animated series announced by Netflix

>Speaking to Gamespot, Atlus have confirmed that they, alongside producer Adi Shankar -- who brought Castlevania to Netflix, and who is working on bringing Devil May Cry and Assassin's Creed to the TV screen as well -- are at the helm of the project. According to series producer Kazuyuki Yamai, the project is still very much in the conceptual stage, with Yamai and Shankar still trying to figure out how to best translate the game to TV. Further, they've also been trying to nail down writers.

>"The difference between a series and a game is vast in a lot of ways," said Shankar. "SMT as a series is pretty atmospheric and kind of overbearing at times. For a series, the question is: how do you sustain and keep your attention on a non-interactive run? Does it get really, really dark and serious? Does it have some levity?" Shankar adds that he and Yamai are currently "leaning a lot more towards something that's representative of the game on the style side, but more palatable to mainstream audiences internationally" with visuals that will be more anime-esque animation rather than simply an interpretation of the game's art.

    Funny enough, this is my personal monkey paw. As long as more people learn about proper SMT games, I'll take it.

      Seems more likely SMT will slowly become more like Persona in order to attract the Persona audience instead of some boring, grindy games ever becoming mainstream

        Oh well at least we're getting new 3D models for some old Demons that can be recycled into another game.

        This is a fairly elaborate way to make another Persona without having to announce Persona 6 for another decade. Beyond the repurposed name, is there anything particularly infuriating about it?

          >Persona
          I don't like many of Soejima's persona designs. The first persona is good, but most of ultimate persona and 3rd tier persona are ugly or a bunch of giant robots.

          Kaneko's persona design really make me feel like the characters themselves actually wearing masks.

      Yes, originally it was meant to be Shin Megami Tensei vs Fire Emblem but it got cancelled during development and reworked into not-Persona with jpop idols.

          Don't forget too that the censorship campaign by Nintendo's American division during that period was spearheaded by a pedophile apologist who later got fired for moonlighting as a literal prostitute.

    how the absolute frick are they gonna even get a series who's main theme is that Political extremism tears apart family friends and society, and that when things go abolute breasts up the only solutions is Violence with a heavy heart?
    I don't think western Audiences are ready with something that will hit so close to home
    but that's saying if anyone will even watch it let alone understand it

      Following how the Castlevania series ended up,
      I'm pretty sure they'd probably end up making shit in favor of Chaos,
      And shitting on Law.
      Extra points if they can add a Trump Character.

        I really hope they don't do that and instead have a "I killed all my friends cause I couldn't hop on any of their schizo breakdowns and bow I'm alone" ending plus they'll still have to kill God but with the power of GUN

      YHVH in SMT, which is based of a literal reading of the God from the Old Testament. In the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, YHVH was just a jerk.
