Synopsis
Animated promotional trailer for the Persona 2: Innocent Sin, a game for PlayStation. Included as a bonus on the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment Bonus Disc.
Audience Consensus
The audience expresses disappointment and longing for what could have been, mourning the unfulfilled potential of a Persona 2 anime adaptation hinted at by the trailer. There's a strong sense of nostalgia and frustration that Atlus never pursued the project, especially given the success of Persona 3 and 4 anime adaptations. The trailer itself is seen as a promising glimpse into a road not taken.
