I'm really happy to tell you guys (Having checked there's not a topic for this already) that there is going to be a Persona 4 Anime!!!
As far as I've checked it's scheduled for October (just month not day)... as of now there have been spontaneous releases of trailers (Currently 11 trailers) that curiously fit the pattern of the days in which you watch the midnight channel. The producers took a lot of measures to ensure that it is a real persona 4 anime. They have the EXACT same voice actors from the game (And Drama Cd for the main character), they have Shoji Meguro composing the OST with an already showed to the public opening called "Sky's the limit" sung by shihoko hirata and lyrics made by Lotus Juice.
I thank god it's nothing like Persona: trinity soul...
The images shown looks great, there are already some voices heard so you can be sure they sound the same.
Another thing (that made me go apeshit BTW is the fact that) not only the main characters of the game (Except for Naoto Shirogane, who acording to the pattern should be in a trailer in September 15th) but also the secondary characters like Daisuke Nagase, Kou Ichijou, Ai Ebihabara and hopefully some other characters from the Social Links will be seen.
These are the sites where you can get more info about it... also be sure to check out the trailers once in a while in youtube or in the official site of the anime.

Hope you like this bit of info. Comments, expectations, fears and everything is very welcomed...
See ya all.
Thanks. It was, is and always will be a pleasure.

I've been getting into the mindset for it the last few days. Playing that pretty awesome opening theme over and over in my head again (I especially like how it incorporates a tiny bit of the original opening theme in it).
And really Daisuke and Kou are gonna be in it?! That's brilliant XD a great little story line.
Though what I really wonder about is how is protaganist going to be? Since he's voiced and named
Also will they stick with Izanagi or actually give him multiple persona ability?

What refers to his persona I assume they'll stick to Izanagi... it's like the mangas of persona that were released. In the one of P3 they stuck with Orpheus and here I think they won't change it. But if they do I hope they do it right becuase it's a lot of work to assign a whole lot of personas to this... this is not pokemon.
Now something I thought... I want the anime to have pairings. It'll crush many hearts XD but it should be worth it.

Not that sticking to Izanagi is a bad thing, truth be told I kept Izanagi as long as I could cause he was so cool XD.
As for protaganist pairing off with someone....I don't know....Rise would certainly appreciate it if they got together but thinking about it they would really be crushing fans hearts once they released the anime.
Kanji x Naoto all the way!

I think so too... but sometimes I like to imagine it with Yukiko... or the other social link girls like Yumi (Not Ayane) or maybe Ai (hardly). Obviously leaving ChieXYosuke and KanjiXNaoto.
Let's see... Also I forgot it! Moron King... Morooka, Mitsuo Kubo and (Holy shit go fuck yourself in the ass you disgusting detective) Tohru Adachi.
Something else... oh yeah, something I've been discussing with my friend who also is looking forward to this: "How many chapters do you think it may have?"
For me... I'm guessing about 25 or so. Or if they push it a little bit more to make it longer in the GOOD WAY (I hate some long animes which I'll not name for respect to the people who watch them) I'd say 50 at much... 1 more and I say: "Blow it up your ASS, Atlus"

But then again I can see the show blitzing through some days, the tests and probably the camp scenes being contained in one episode.
Also I liked Adachi XD Wonder if he'll have the same voice as the protagonist again.
Though I really hope he doesn't go for Yumi (drama queen) or Ai (Demon child) personally I can see them leaving protagonist in the friend zone for everything just to avoid stepping on toes and negative feedback.
Though I don't know if Persona 4 has a fierce shipping fanbase like the kind Ace Attorney does so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to stomp down on some people's pairings.
Though Chie and Yosuke wasn't really canon I got a more childhood best friends feel from them.

It seemed to me that in the game he's more of a blank slate, naturally to make the player feel more personally involved. This'd naturally be harder to replicate in the anime, so will they give him a flaw? If they try to do the same as the game, and it's not done right, he might appear to be unsympathetic.

I'm also curious as to how they'll characterize the MC in the anime. Aside from one or two traits present throughout the game, such as being calm in stressful situations and supporting his friends as a "Team Mom" of sorts, how he speaks in the game is decided by the dialogue trees. You could make him be sympathetic, a jerk or even a mute. Which idiolect they decide to go with in the anime is what I look forward to seeing.

Well yeah he's the number 0, empty yet full of infinite possibilities.
I doubt they'll screw up his personality that much, I mean even in game some opinions are guided to an extent, there's always things protaganist decides for himself to an extent right?

As for the duration, now it's confirmed, there will be 26 chapters.
Now, onto the way the MC will be... I think he'll be the kind guy from the Drama cd's, there he normally is quiet but when he talks he is calm, kind (He even praises Kanji's intelligence for some stuff), and also funny for some stuff.
It's like the... ideal heroe.
Thanks. It was, is and always will be a pleasure.

And 26 chapters as in....26 arcs or 26 episodes?
It's going to be quite short lived if it's only 26 episodes....I mean...fights and days are just gonna blaze by to cram it all in in that time.
Also a very nice detail how the trailers are shown on the midnight channel

But, let's look at the bright side... 26 episodes (Sorry if chapters sounded weird) mean they will NOT prolong with useless stuff, besides it's safe to assume they will make dungeons together with the boss fights no longer than 3 chapters except for Namatame and Adachi's dungeon and probably "Void Quest" (Mitsuo's dungeon) might last... what? one or two?
At least it's good to have those things assured for the anime.
And what do you mean with: "The Gary Stu"?

When I saw this topic, I turned on my PS2 and started working through the new game plus I'd abandoned for P4 last year. 77% of that compendium is complete and I'm still goin' BD

I don't know a good number of days could be spent social linking and having those precious moments. An 80 hour game compressed into....13 hours assuming the episodes are 30 minutes. 26 still feels really small.
But Gary Stu...or is it Gary Sue....is a perfect character with no flaws to my understanding.

Character flaws seem to be prominent in Persona 4, particularly with the whole Shadow side being based on each character's secret or hidden side. This heavily contributes to the characters being so endearing and realistic.
Blank slate characters work in games because they project the player as said blank slate, making you free to choose what they do and how they behave. Like I said before though, this is going to be harder to do in anime. It makes fixing the problems of your social link friends feel like an achievement, because you're personally helping them through it. I hope this feeling doesn't get replaced with a sense of following a Gary Stu when we see the MC help them out without our involvement.
I hope they get it right, because what with the social links on top of the main story, it looks like we'll be following the perspective of the MC for almost every scene. And watching the entire anime from the perspective on an unlikable main character can very quickly butcher the show.
I'm not saying it's likely, and I have faith in Atlus. Their games have been top notch, and I'm sure the quality will remain with this anime adaption. Still, 'what if' thoughts like this are on my mind.

I heard the Persona 3 spinoff 'trinity soul' anime sucked.
However I've not seen it myself to check...
Still there was occasional jerk moments from the protagonist, he wouldn't always be nice, would yell at someone if they really needed sorting out. Plus he's not exactly perfect, he's fun and friendly but if the games are anything to go by he's not above cheating on his girlfriend XD.

The spinoff was also only 26 (or 29?) episodes which makes me think it might be in two seasons after all I should hope they'd give more time to a proper anime adaptation than an anime spinoff of a game.
However doesn't fill me with confidence about the anime, though the trailer looks rocking.

well if your worried ill let you know unlike trinity souls its being worked on with some of the actual persona team (this includes shoji meguro the guy who makes the music of the persona games and the original voice actors for the game)
and trinity souls really feel like it had much to do with persona 3 at all.
then again it could fail...but id rather stay optimistic about it.

Though I did hear Shoji was running the stuff and the original voice actors may have a better grasp of what the characters are like? Though I can't honestly say if VA's bond with characters at all. It'll at least keep the tone the same. Yosuke will still be a homophobic tool and Naoto will still be the most epic girl around.
How long you reckon before a fansub would become available?

well most subs usually take a week before a group picks it up...but I can guerentee with personas popularity well probably see it subbed in a day or three from showing on tv...then again it does depend on the group picking it up.

Well, yeah as far as to what 26 episodes mean is quite hard to say as it could mean: too short or enough. That referring (as others said) to how much time they give to each part including the S links and battles and parts dedicated for stupid stuff that we love in some moments of persona 4's history (the camp, trip to tatsumi port island, etc.)
About the kind of guy the MC will be... Yeah maybe a goody two shoes wouldn't be the kind of MC we'd want... and as far as we know the MC DOES have some issues (his family and constantly moving from place to place that makes him not rely on others or become close to them) which have sense for him to face when you get Izanagi No Okami. And yes, there are moments he can get angry or do something wrong...
Fansub's are fast as long as the anime in question is popular and Persona 4 being what it is and all the advertising it has so far and to come until it's release... I'd say it won't take long to see subs.
What I forgot is when the 12th trailer is released... as far as the midnight channel pattern refers to. Does anyone remember the date?
Thanks. It was, is and always will be a pleasure.

September 14th.
I haven't been pinpointing the exact date previous trailers appear, whether it's during their fuzzy silhouette days or the clear cut shadow clip days. The date above is the first appearance as a fuzzy silhouette, so the trailer might be out a couple days later.

Anyways, I recently saw this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si1I_ySrmoE
(not sure when this one came out; I'm not too good with keeping track of these) It shows more of Yosuke and this is one of the first trailers where I got a better look at the animation, and it is BEAUTIFUL. The song "Sky's the Limit" is pretty catchy, so it'll probably be the opening song.
About that 26 episode run, do you think they'll cut out the other social links completely? (Like Ai, the basketball/soccer guys, and the drama/music girls) Or I dunno, just place them as extras to make a reference? I'm thinking they'll be pretty much gone considering the short amount of episodes and sheer tons of plot to get through, though I'm worried as to how they'll fit the character development from the social links or if they'll just rely on what happens to them in their dungeons. Just my current thoughts...

I'm still doubting they could fit it all into 26 episodes..
Also holy hell Igor got scary XD.
Though it's apparently confirmed some social linking will take place as Daisuke and....ball lover...on the sports teams are in it.
Though Ai deserves to be cut....and not just from the animation.

My friend says she hopes they'll do something different for the series because a rehash of the same story would be boring; however, it's obviously going to be the same story. The changes are gonna be the interesting part because they'll have to severely amputate all the small sidequests of the story (except for Kou, who according to the trailer has his own bishie sparkles) and provide some sort of characterization for the main character.
The voices are gonna take some getting used to for me; Chie's voice seems kinda high to me and I find Teddie MUCH more annoying in Japanese than in English. I can't wait till it's dubbed *-*

Amputate all the sidequests? Daisuke and Ai shown up there as well. Looks like Narukumi is going down the Sports club pathway though hopefully he'll punch that stupid Ai and her Moon arcana in the face.
Though if the series really is only 26 episodes I'll be disappointed....depends on the length but I don't think you can cover the Sports club sidequests and the characters in such a short space of time.

It airs today. Granted, the majority of us will have to wait until it's subbed, but if you want to watch it for its pacing and sequences and not the dialog, you've not long to wait now!

Welp dunno where I'd manage to watch it but at least some of our Japanese cousins will be able to tell us if it seems like it's going to bomb or rock soon.

Your link is down, can't guarantee mine will still be around when people click on it. Youtube is cracking down.
I thought it was pretty good. This series will appeal most to people who've played the games so I don't think it matters if they miss some parts since the gamers will fill in the blanks from their memory.
If they want to end every episode with some cool action scene I don't think it'd be so bad. Enough sub-bosses and the like. I mean...what like...9..10 dungeons total? That's time for some more fun social event episodes (the camp trip) that don't need combat and stuff.
Though I really hope it's not simply 26 episodes long would be too short for my liking.

If there is going to be 26 episodes.... think there might be 26 arcana. Possible one social link a day? Ending with the World of course.

Lol, that moment when he punches Yosuke... I totally thought it was one of those "snap out of it and deal with it, this is srs bsns" BFF punches, but then he's all *didn't mean to do that* XD
Also, is it just me or do they just take the most amusing choices of dialogue from the game you can make for the MC?
