Max Mittleman’s turn at Ryuji has always been excellent, but there is an extra feeling of spontaneity to him in this dub. The entire cast brings a little bit of the magic that made Persona 5 such a great game into the booth. The scene where we are first introduced to Haru as the Beauty Thief is good in the game but somehow becomes more effective due to Xanthe Huynh’s adorably farcical performance. The comedic timing and delivery among all of them are some of the best you’ll find in anime. It is a mixture of veterans and relative newcomers, but each one gives a fantastic performance reprising these roles. The English voice cast of this game has always been one of the highlights for me. While it doesn’t improve everything about the show (there are still some moments where the animation is a subpar), it is closer to the Persona 5 experience we expect to see. Persona 5: The Animation English Dub Reviewįirst thing I’ll mention is that even the streamed version available on Funimation is obviously from the remastered version intended for blu ray release, so there are some marked improvements in how the show looks on the screen.
This is a welcome change from needing to shell out so much for what amounts to fourteen and a half hours of content, so I wanted to have a look at how this dub measures up after not having seen the show in so long. Originally announced as part of the blu ray collectors’ edition (at a price tag of a whopping $300), the English dub hit Funimation in the US and All4 in the UK a few weeks back. The lukewarm reaction that many fans had to the anime might explain why it has taken more than two years for the show to be dubbed into English.
