Atlus U.S.A. and Crunchyroll, the popular anime online streaming site, has announced that Persona 5: The Day Breakers will be available on the Crunchyroll site with English subtitles starting September 3rd. This is the same day it will be airing in Japan, and several months ahead of the official release of Persona 5 in North America and Europe. It it unlikely that Persona 5: The Day Breakers will be available with English dubbing, making the Crunchyroll release is your best bet to watch it for now.

Persona 5: The Day Breakers is a tie-in prologue produced by A-1 Pictures for the highly anticipated RPG, Persona 5. It it uncertain exactly where in reference to the game that the anime will take place, or how much of the plot will be revealed or explained. It looks as if the Phantom Thieves of Hearts have already formed in the anime, which could mean the anime takes place after the introduction sequence of the game or could be a flash back of some kind. We’ll have to watch and find out!
The game is set to release on September 15th in Japan and February 14th in the Americas and Europe for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
