All Persona 3 Anime Films Free for a Limited Time on Aniplex USA YouTube Channel
Great news for Persona 3 fans: Aniplex of America has released all four anime films for free on its official YouTube channel for a limited time. The films, previously available only as home video releases, can now be watched for free. This move is a not-to-be-missed opportunity, especially for those new to the series or those looking to complete their digital collection.
The film series tells the story of the Persona 3 game across four separate productions: Spring of Birth, Midsummer Knight's Dream, Falling Down, and Winter of Rebirth. The first film was released in Japan in 2013, and the last in 2016. The series is adapted from Atlus's popular RPG and was produced in collaboration with AIC ASTA and Aniplex. Tomohisa Taguchi directed the films, with character designs by Keisuke Watabe.
This limited-time release follows Aniplex USA's previous free offerings on its YouTube channel, including Persona 4: The Animation and Persona 5: The Animation. The company aims to reach new viewers and satisfy its existing fan base with such promotions. Especially during the ongoing Persona series 25th anniversary celebrations, it is speculated that such surprises may continue to increase.
It has not yet been announced how long the films will remain on the channel, but given Aniplex USA's past similar practices, the release is expected to last a few weeks. Those wishing to watch the films during this period are strongly advised not to miss out. Additionally, the well-received remake of Persona 3, Persona 3 Reload, which launched in 2024, has also increased interest in the anime films. This free release is a great opportunity to both relive nostalgia and experience the series' story in a different format.
