Anime Special! - Persona: Trinity Soul

What to say about this anime? When I first started watching it, it was pretty interesting with the police investigations, weird deaths and persona's popping out of "innocent" teens. The more I watched the less stuff actually happened and by the middle of the season it was more about the sibling's relationships with their brother and the actual persona fights were sort of in the background of the dysfunctional family relationships and emotional issues of the characters. The big change happens in the last few episodes were things get heated up and the quality of this anime gets boosted.
The 26 episodes with the slow pace kinda downgraded the quality which is a shame... if only they made it a 12 episode anime, it would have been a blast.
Persona: Trinity Soul anime is based on the game, so I would recommend playing the game instead of watching the anime 'cause it'll be way more interesting.

The stage is Ayanagi City, a city near the Japan Sea. It is a futuristic city that was built to carry out the recovery from the calamity caused by the "Apathy Syndrome" ten years previous. High school student Shin Kanzato with his little brother Jun, meet with their elder brother RyM, who is the chief of the Ayanagi City Police, again after ten years. At that time, a series of strange incidents happen in Ayanagi City such as the crew of a submarine that suddenly disappears while in their submarine, or a spiritless symptom which disturbs the world after ten years, or the case of the inside out corpse where a student took on a cruel appearance. RyM tracks down the organization behind the string of incidents, and having become involved in the incidents, Shin awakens the "Persona".
