Streaming-site Crunchyroll will be streaming the anime adaptation of the DS-JRPG Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 starting tomorrow and April 11 for free users.
The Megami Tensei franchise has been going on for quite a while and has had a lot of great works. Here are some of the best Shin Megami Tensei games.
The mainline Shin Megami Tensei still has a ways to go before it becomes more accepted in the international market like its spinoff Persona series.
Fun Fact: This entire franchise is based off of a science fiction book. It's one of the most successful licensed properties in gaming
Yeah, finding out about MT's origins was interesting.
And agreed that SMT is lagging behind in terms of western popularity. It's a lot harder a sell than Persona, that's for sure.
Indeed. Who knew the Japanese only books would go on to spawn such a legacy?

Persona is just a more accessible franchise to get into than the mainline SMT in terms of difficulty, premise, and tonality.
Persona was meant to have a more wider appeal and was designed to feel more familiar and relateable to the audience as opposed to the more fantastical and philosophical aspects of the mainline series.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Sometimes, something happens that makes you realize the people who make games are as big a fans of them as you are. Of course they are, they’re making them after all. But we never image they’re as fanatical about things as we are. Linkle is proof, because with her we see developers following one of the Internet Rules."
Uses dual crossbows, believes she's the legendary hero, and she talks...she's a female version of Link!
Yesterday, the NPD numbers were released for April. Although Smash Bros and Splatoon were both on the top ten, two new 3DS releases were notably missing from the sales charts. Both Puzzle & Dragons Z: Super Mario Edition and Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker failed to make the top ten on the charts.
Honestly, Crunchyroll is the best. THey do everything right. And should I play the game before watching this?
Shin Megami Tensei, I bow to thee. Looks like Deus Ex: Human Revolution will have to wait, crunchyroll time.
