Ive just finished watching Persona Trinity soul anime, it was great. Now i dont know what to watch next, my friends tell me to watch  naruto, bleach and death note but they dont interest me. Im looking for one that is based in high school since im a big persona fan. Any suggestions.

If you want the same genre try Bible Black or Mnemosyne.
 
EDIT:  Same genre as Persona Trinity Soul...

I'm currently watching Bleach and Samurai Champloo. 
 
I'd say that Bleach is ok, but it seems a bit overrated. I'm not through the first season yet and while it has its moments I hope it gets better.
 
Samurai Champloo is awesome. If you haven't seen that I'd recommend it.

For a great deal of responses and for good help on this. Try going to Anime Vice, Giant Bombs sister site. But to answer you question, I really don't know any. I used to watch Case Closed . But it is no longer shown anywhere but Japan. That used to be my favorite show ever.

trinity soul was pretty boring after a promising start... but I dunno Mai-Hime that has school..and everyone has some kind of magical creature power like in persona... it starts pretty light hearted thougha nd only really kicks into gear about episode 12 or 13... from taht point onwards its pretty damn awesome.

Check out Full Metal Panic if you want something action packed but with high school elements.  Or try Tenjho Tenge for some high school martial arts stories, although the series feels unfinished to me.  A more complete martial arts high school series is Yu Yu Hakusho.   Love Hina and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya if you are looking for something sweeter and with less punches in the face.  Finally, I will recommend my favorites of One Piece (only get the fansubs), Martian Successor Nadesico, the Slayers, and Last Exile.

Lol, the 2nd poster suggested Bible Black, thats a hentai. I don't suggest that at all lol.
 
I found the persona anime to be really hard to follow, it kept throwing all this random shit at you and making no sense of anything, I am like 3 episodes away from the end and I probably wont ever finish it.
 
Check out Code Geass, its an amazing anime. Death note is also good but Code Geass has action in it as well as crazy storyline and tons of twists and cliffhangers and crazy stuff that makes you shout OH SHIT all the time.

Yeah, Samurai Champloo is definitely one of the best animes I've ever seen, but I don't remember any high school scenes in it.

Akira still stands as one of the greatest not just anime but movies of all time, then you have Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, Urotsukidoji over 18 only for that one. And the 1st one I ever saw when I was a kid ,Tales from Earthsea, still fantastic dude.

It may not be High School stuff, but you could try the old Gundam trio Gundam, Gundam Z and Gundam ZZ. 
If you dont like old animation, you could try Gundam 00. 
If you dont like Mechs, but want something with action, try Sengoku Basara. Or if you want, Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyria Chronicles).

That show was fucking insane. No two ways around it. By the way, I think it might be diffucult for the average westerner  to understand

Try Paprika... It's really out there and has great animation quality. It's a movie, not a series though.

FLCL... Elementary School kids, but hey its school. And the show is rather insane, the FLCL style is used in a lot of other cartoons like Aim for the Top 2!, Dead Leaves, RE: Cutie Honey, and Gurren Lagann.
 
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei... High School... er... Insanity. It pokes fun at the silly aspects of High School Anime  but also embraces it to a totally different level.
 
BECK, its more about the band, but its basically High School Drama. Loved it, though the broken english on some characters just suck.
 
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is good, I think it's a bit over hyped, but overall I enjoyed it a lot.
 
Nodame Cantabile, set up is in a Classical music college, but it's school. Hilarious.
 
 
Bleach and Naruto is well... Pretty much Dragon Ball... Bleach is nearly full action, Naruto is pretty EMO. Neither are that good, its meant for kids, so don't expect much.

These are all good choices, still thinking which one to watch. I watched school days to pass the time, it was awesome. Any other anime similar to that.
