After announcing their plans to distribute an “Import Edition” of Persona 3 the Movie #2: Midsummer Knight’s Dream a couple of days ago, North American anime publisher Aniplex of America have shared a brief English-subtitled trailer for the film. As you would expect, this minute and a half long video highlights small sections of the film, some of which fans of ATLUS’ original 2006 video game should recognize.
Persona 3 the Movie #2: Midsummer Knight’s Dream is set for release as two separate editions (Standard and Collector’s) from March 11th 2015. For more information on the contents of both sets, check out my earlier post: Aniplex of America to Distribute Persona 3 the Movie #2: Midsummer Knight’s Dream.
This film only features the original Japanese dub with English subtitles. There is no word yet if Aniplex of America will put the resources into a full English dub using the original voice cast.
“I wish it would stay like this every day…”
Following his transfer to Gekkoukan Private Academy, Makoto Yuki is suddenly attacked by a strange monster called Shadows and is awakened to a power which allows him to summon a Persona. Seeing Makoto’s potential, the members of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad approach him, to join them in their battle against these creatures. Makoto, initially feeling detached from the situation, accepts their invitation indifferently, but as he learns more about the “Dark Hour” and engages in many harsh battles, he begins feeling a strong bond with his teammates.
And so the season turned from spring to summer… the battle was far from over for the SEES team, now joined by a new member, but they all felt a sense of fulfillment even as they faced these abnormal circumstances. The wheels of fate began to turn… as they were about to learn of the new trials they must face.
