Okay, let me just say... WOW. As someone who's obsessed with Persona 5's aesthetic, this art book is like finding treasure in Mementos!
The character illustrations? Chef's kiss. The environment designs? Absolutely stunning. It's packed with sketches, production art, and even an interview with the director. My artist hands were shaking flipping through these pages!
Now here's the tea - while the anime itself was... questionable (we don't talk about that pancake scene), the ART is phenomenal. This book proves it. The only bummer? I wish there were more notes from the actual animators instead of just pretty pictures.
Pro tip: If you're buying online, pray to Igor for good packaging because mine arrived with a tiny dent (still worth it though). Also heads up - it's smaller than your average artbook but THICC with content.
Final verdict? If you love Persona 5's style whether as an artist or fan, this belongs in your collection. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice drawing Joker's hair for the 100th time...
