Persona 5 The Animation. Ren Amamiya is about to enter his second year after transferring to Shujin Academy in Tokyo.

Do you need to have any prior knowledge on the Persona series to be able to watch Person 5 the Animation (the anime adaptation)? Absolutely not. None of the Persona games are directly connected, each one (with the exceptions of the first game, Persona 2: Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment) is its own contained story.
Persona 5 contains similar themes from the previous games but the story, characters and plot is different and in no way related to the previous games. The anime I believe covers the story of persona 5 from the very beginning so if you haven't played the game, it should not be a problem.
The adaptations imo are very accurate. It's a nice condensed version but you won't get everything. Yeah it's fine, just remember, as many have said, you won't get the full P5 experience, P4 animation too manages to tell the story rather well too, just stay away from the P3 movies, they don't stand up to the game in any way
Can You Watch The Persona Series Without Playing The Games? The anime adaptation of Persona isn't as good as the games but is still very entertaining. You can watch the anime before playing the games and still enjoy the games if you decide to get into them later on.
