Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This OVA launched the entire Megami Tensei franchise—now spanning 50+ games including Persona. The 'demon summoning program' concept originated here.
Based on Aya Nishitani's 1986 novel, which was inspired by his actual computer programming job. The 'digital devil' concept merged his two obsessions: coding and the occult.
