I was hoping for a decent P3 anime first but, this still could be promising.

4/11 is the game's start date, right? I assumed this was going to be an announcement for P4 Portable. Is there anything in particular which suggests an anime?

[up] If you do some kind of internet wizardry I don't particularly understand, there's supposedly links hidden on that sight that lead to Aniplex. There's also this, which I believe was only recently established: http://www.p4a.jp/ That's assuming the A stands for Anime of course.

I'm... not understanding the commercial... It's not exactly screaming Persona4, or Persona at all. Then again, I don't play the games and I stopped watching an LP of P4 almost a year ago...

A Persona 4 anime? I approve. Heartily. The flow of the story perfectly fits the weekly TV show format. Same for Persona 3.

Hmm... but will it be a straight adaptation of the game, or a continuation?

Hoping for a remake I think the game itself would make an awesome anime since it pretty much is one in spirit and tropes.

If its a continuation I hope we get more than just Teddie.

Once again. If this is an anime remake, they need to give the King's Game Incident a full episode.

A half hour of Yukiko, and Rise (and Teddie) drunk off their asses, and generally being silly?

Yes Please.smile

The School trip, the festival, the night at the inn, all would be so good in anime form.

I think the whole thing will turn out okay as long as they don't fuck with characterisation too much. I mean, upgrading Chie and Yukiko to MEGA LESBIANS would be awesome, but then we'd have a blatantly gay Kanji and an openly transgender Naoto, which...isn't awesome.

Now now Kanji isnt that bad and well Naoto would be fine as she is in an anime setting I mean we have Ouran High School Host Club.

I'm not saying I don't like it. I'm just saying that the writers have to be careful, since Kanji's orientation and Naoto's gender were both deliberately ambiguous in the game.

Well the latter was only ambiguous up to a certain point. Plus is there anyone who doesn't know the truth about her by now?

Some things you just can't keep hidden after awhile.

I just hope that if this ever gets dubbed, the get all of the V As from the game back. Though I think that Yukiko's VA is retired....

It's real alright. There's a small trailer and a link to a site with character silhouettes and some other stuff at the Mayonaka-TV link: http://www.mayonaka-tv.jp/

I'm actually disappointed. I vastly preferred Persona 3 to 4, so want a real, good adaption of that over the one we're getting. Given that P4 was received better (though it undersold considerably) I'm not surprised though.
