'You need to be a genius' - Persona 3 Animatic

Makoto hits the books so he can help Mitsuru with challenging tasks in her social link only the biggest brain geniuses could handle.

(I just now realise an error in the end card drawing, but am too lazy to fix, so invisible arm rest, I guess.)

Audio from Persona 3 and Persona Q.

[B-rex]

That’s the jarring thing in persona 3: your female teammates, the ones you should hypothetically be closest too, won’t even talk to you unless you have maxed social stats.

[dankusmemeus]

Perhaps you need to use Marin Karin to gain her attention

[nicolasmeisel]

Mitsuru holding a burger: "How do I eat youuuu?"

[CheesyLizzy]

What's even worse is you do all that work to get your knowledge up, and then the game says you can't actually start talking to her until November

[Anicat]

Because you're a genius doesn't mean you know all the answers in life ;)

[BubbleGum]

Bro got a PHD and he still in high school 💀

[Aperez]

Maxes out Academics, gets invited to eat a hamburger!

[Cataphract]

This is amazing lmao, please do more of these!

[graveltheblock]

Grinded intelligence to teach basic courtesy. Or maybe it was to even understand Mitsuru?

[MrMewCult]

0:25 It should say "toaster manual", idk

[pertti_makinen]

lmaoo i love u for this, my exact reaction

[Mr-Green]

0:01
Why would she think I'm that stupid just to even have a conversation?
I'm not Junpei.
0:44
...what?

[Skeletone]

Makoto at the end: "summons persona"

[theghosttm]

Omfg the magazine title that Aigis was reading.

[enriqueish]

Later in P3Reload...
Makoto: *proceds speedrun to Friendzone Mitsuru for just asking to eat burgers on level 1*
Mitsuru: YOU PIECE OF DOOR IM GONNA TO EXECUTE YOU-!

[Nello_angelo]

When I finally saw what her social was about in its first stages I really wanted to persona 3 her

[cherrunous]

I thought the ending would be the game ending because of how tough it is to max your social stats and constantly juggle social links on your first playthrough

[aaronflores]

And I never dated mit-Chan ever again

-the end 😊

[MidnightThunderKid]

It absolutely kills me that Academics is the hardest stat to max because of how many points it takes to reach Rank 6. Why couldn't Reload dial it back a bit with the Social Quality barriers for every female member of S.E.E.S? At least make it so you have to have at least Rank 3 of each stat!

[Jessica_Schweser]

You can’t start her until November anyway
