Making a few demons put on some pants is one thing. Getting to the aesthetics specific to P5, it appears that they also had to ditch the fluorescent brightly colored blood effects.
Check out Arai's awakening. Nevermind that they pretty much copied the circumstances of Ann's awakening (the character herself is straight up Ann and Ryuji mashed into one but with Chie's face because of course); when it gets to the actual Persona summoning, she grips her mask for all of two seconds before it just pops off. No struggle, can't do the blood. Just yoinks it off her face.
MC doesn't even have an unmasking, he reveals the Persona, THEN manifests the mask/Gurren Lagann sunglasses and puts it on (but still does a twirl and removes it in battle when casting magic). There could be an intentional reason for this, but my expectations aren't that high yet.
