  Yeah. Right. So. An anime for Persona 4. By SHAFT.

  The game follows a high school junior who, due to his parents' work overseas, moves from the city to the rural town of Inaba to live for a year with his uncle and local policeman Dojima Ryotaro and his six-year-old daughter Nanako. With his new friends from the local high school, he investigates a series of inexplicable murders and the truth about a TV channel that only appears during midnight, armed with Personas, materialized aspects of their personalities.

  Don't know if want. I love SHAFT, but due to their choice in animation, I don't take their serious works, well, seriously. I mean sure, they're doing Madoka, but...
  
  It's set to go in Fall. Here's the site

  A really cool countdown. Also if it means anything, the producer's going to be Aniplex.
  
  I'll get a better summary and picture when there's more info on it, and not use stuff just about the game.

  I'd like to know how they'd handle this...especially because of the possible endings in the game...
  
  And...inb4 a certain bikini ad as well as a strip scene. :v
  
  It'd be funny if they could actually get the voices from the game. Funny awesome,that is.

  Totally and completely unreliable sources.
  
  Anyway, Aniplex is the producing company for sure. SHAFT as the animation studio hired to do this is totally unreliable.

  My body is ready. Unlike most upcoming shows where I get somewhat excited and just end up moving them to my backlog, this is one of those anime that I'm going to watch as soon as the eps come out. I love Persona and most of the games in the Megami Tensei franchise.

  I haven't watched any anime in a while but I might watch this.

  imo, Persona 3 > 4.
  I only liked 4 because the MC's Voice Actor, which you barely ever heard.
  
  The idea of Guns to bring Persona's out rather then TV's and Glasses.
  However, Persona 4 did have a great story line.
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Had a Good Ending, unlike Previous persona games.[/SPOILER]
  Id watch this, if it got a Dub on NA side.
  (Yes, i like some dubs.)

  You can't be 100% sure it'll be "Persona 4 The TV Series". It might just be another spin off. Persona Trinity Soul (Anime) is a spin off of Persona 3, which Trinity Soul happens a few years after.

  Shaft has been in the dumps the past few years.
  Seriously.
  
  I watched Maria Holic season 2 episode 1 today and it pales in comparison to season 1.

  Lol, scroll down a bit more, Aniplex is doing it, not shaft.

  Yea I read.
  I was just commenting on how bad shaft is nowadays.
  
  The new OP seems effortless too.

  If this really does turn out to be an anime release, I hope it'll be better than Trinity Soul. That one was just bad.
