Good news for Netflix subscribing anime fans as Aniplex USA has now added Persona 3 the Movie: #2 Midsummer Knight’s Dream to their service. Aniplex USA brought the film out in import form for fans to pick up back in March of this year but has not set any sort of local/domestic edition yet. So this streaming option provides a very affordable way for fans to check it out. It’s presented in its original Japanese language with English subtitles only, as expected.
Plot concept: “I wish it would stay like this every day…” Following his transfer to Gekkoukan Private Academy, Makoto Yuki is suddenly attacked by a strange monster called Shadows and is awakened to a power which allowed him to summon a Persona. Seeing Makoto’s potential, the members of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad approach him to join them in their battle against these creatures. Makoto, initially feeling detached from the situation accepts their invitation indifferently, but as he learned more about the “Dark Hour,” and engaged in many harsh battles, he began feeling a strong bond with his teammates. And so the season turned from spring to summer… the battle was far from over for the SEES team, now joined by a new member, but they all felt a sense of fulfillment even as they faced these abnormal circumstances. The wheels of fate began to turn… as they were about to learn of the new trials they must face.

So why not movie 1? It not on Netflix from what I can find.
Would be great to actually watch the 1st movie on there so people could actually understand the 2nd one. Hope AoA eventually dubs this with the original game cast.
