    Im glsd you actually pick apart her character snd show her amazing characteristics and symbolism instead of just calling her a "waifu" like most other people which is extremely sad bc she has so so much depth that people dont take into consideration when talking abt her.

    Ann's Confidant is really good and it also bothers me that a lot of her discussion online gets caught up in "her arc says sexual harassment bad but also fanservice." Your thoughts on her are pretty similar to mine, and it's great seeing more analysis of Ann that doesn't go for the low-hanging fruit.

    • @Sky_Gaming_Academy

      Don't worry, though I can't confirm it. I like to believe that the people who mentioned that "all her character is about fan service and sexuality" are the loudess rather than the majority.

    This video is great! I love how you really connected Ann's story to Carmen's. Through this video, I really appreciate Ann's journey.
    I just wish the designers had come up with a design that embodied Carmen/Ann's story better. Their desire for freedom is more important than their sexuality. They could have come up with a much better outfit than the low hanging fruit they went with.

      My dude, Carmen is the PERFECT Persona for Ann. The most famous line from the opera is " Carmen will never give way! Free she was born, and free she will die!" This is right before she is killed by her stalker, (essentially) with Carmen knowing that in wanting independence, it may cost her her life. Nevertheless, freedom is something she strives for anyway, valuing it more than her own life.

    0:19 OH LOOK IT'S ME! As the guy with the longest and most in-depth video about Persona 5's best girl, I approve this video and the additional perspective it gives for whatever that's worth. I think you're right about Ann's character arc being about independence and regaining her confidence, but there is a few things I don't agree with.
    I don't entirely agree with the angle you're taking with Shiho in the video especially if we're leaving out Ann's Persona awakening being directly tied to her want of independence form Kamoshida's clutches, with Ann coming to eh realization that all she needed to do was call him on his bullshit to stop him from harassing both of them. As for her catsuit, it's not an indication of Ann's want to dominate Kamoshida but her rebellious spirt recognizing that she can weaponize it as a means of gaining confidence within herself. You mentioned the dominatrix aspect of Ann's thief outfit, but didn't take into account that the suit itself is a defense mechanism. It's Ann's second skin that highlights all of her curves but if someone like say, Kamoshida or anyone else, wanted to Dew The Dew(tm) with Ann, she's have to painstakingly peel it off. It's about shifting both the power dynamics and her own confidance within herself back in her favor, and the only way that Ann thinks that she can do this is by being as aggro as possible. Remember, Ann's whole thing in Kamoshida is about vengeance, with her still weighing the options of to kill or not to kill him until he's defeated.
    I also want to mention that during Ann's confidant arc, she mentions that Kamoshida ruined modeling for her, which Ann has expressed is the only remaining outlet she has to express herself besides talking to Shiho. He singled her out for harassment because he saw her in a magazine and then the misogyny went brrrrrrrrr. Over her confidant arc and her interactions with Mika, which you did a great job of covering, she learns that if she just applies herself a little bit then she can be a super-woman to those afflicted with the same esteem issues Kamoshida once inflicted upon her. At the end of the game, she wants to become a crazy modeling jet-setter lady. Not because her looks and metabolism make modeling easy for her, but because she caught herself lacking once and it caused her friend to get hurt. She plans to use her platform or in other words, her beauty and sexuality that was once repressed by a pervy gym teacher, to give people reason enough to hope, and to believe that they needn't hide their beauty or uniqueness from society. Conformity will only get you hurt, and Ann knows that all to well by the time joker leaves Tokyo.
    0:00 Persona fans as a whole are a weird bunch, and I'd like to think we both are frustrated with how the fanbase has treated Ann as they constantly misinterpreted all the various nuances of her character, catagorzing Ann (ironically) as a brainless character ATLUS cooked up for fan service. Apparenlty, this was grounds enough for the fanbase to threaten my life for the crime of explaining this to them, but eh, whatever. Leave it up for people to take an incredibly mature story where a woman is reclaiming her own agency and sexuality from the hands of an abusive pervert, and then for those same people to spin her treatment into being one that somehow paints Ann in the same light as Kamoshida did in his palace - an airheaded Brainless Blonde who's there to only be agreeable and to look pretty.
    There really isn't any fault with ATLUS writing the femme fatale character to be *checks notes* a femme fatale character, but of course as you (and I) said in our respective takes on Ann, there's alot more to her than meets the eye - I just wish more people would care to look and listen.
    Subbed and belled because I don't want Nakako to be staring at me, it's weird.

  • @maverick5169
    @maverick5169 Рік тому +1

    I blame Atlus on this one. Like it or not, Ann's sexuality is the most prominent aspect of her character
    During the first dungeon she is constantly being perved on by Ryuji, Mona and even the player, same happens with cutscenes or story beats and in battle she is basically a dominatrix. Uses a whip, says "squeal like a pig" to the enemeis during a tag team attack and her passive ability is posing for the enemy and I don't think I have to talk about her battle outfit, do I? Oh yeah and sexuality is also part of a plan during Shido's palace. While she is not a brainless blondie, Atlus clearly designed her as the fanservie character

    • @foecres14

      while that may be true, that part of her is undeniably relevant to her character. it’s not like those anime girls who are only there to jiggle their boobs at the camera or squeal erotically. she uses her femininity as a weapon rather than a personality trait.
      atlus’ approach on rise was certainly more fleshed out despite maintaining the same themes though

      That’s what XBadgerKnightX was getting at by starting his video on her with a calling card to it: that their vision of the perfect Lovers girl is a foil to the true Ann in every sense of the word. Alice Hiiragi would show how dangerous that can be, but if she was waving the correct flag, we both know they’d scream that she should have been the Lovers girl because all they care about are soulless symbols
