    I don't watch much anime anymore, but I would totally be down for a Persona 4 anime that was localised by the same Atlus P4 English team

    So is it safe to assume this is just a re-telling of the Persona 4 story?

    The art is fine for animation purposes.  The character page only has Chie, Yukikio, Yosuke and the MC.  Which may tell us how much they expect this season to cover or it means they are going to completely rework everything.

    The anime cutscenes in Persona 4 are terribly animated, yeah.


    But at least they tried to represent Soejima Shigenori's art style. This looks like shitty fanart. Catherine and Trinity Souls look leaps better.....maybe the animation will be really good, but I'm not feeling the art style. At all.

    I dunno. Look at Trinity Souls. The animation was fine.

    Again, if this has UH--MAYZING! animation, I'll forgive it. But for now.....hype deflated.

    I agree that the art looks disappointing, but if Shaft is the studio, then I have faith in them.  Madoka Magica and Bakemonogatari are gorgeous.

    oh my god you are really not seeing a difference are you.

    Soejima art:

    No Caption Provided

    No Caption Provided


    -Yosuke's,Yukiko and Chie have uniquely shaped faces(Soejima hallmark) yosuke has a large  protuding chin, for instance
    -The characters facial features and their hair cast a shadow(Soejima's style again)
    -Soejima's character have the usual kinda "fish-like" diagonal eyes. Not very noticeable here with yosuke due to the angle, but very much so with yukiko.

    This...thing:

    -Yosuke, Chie and Yukiko have almost exactly the same face. With the only difference being Yosuke's face being a little longer
    No Caption Provided
    - Only shadows on the MC's face, and they make no sense with where they're placed. Its just the card's giving off light which is causing that.
    -Generic ass anime features. Yukiko and Chie lack lips unlike Soejima's female designs etc

    Its the same character design with a completely different anime art style.

    Yukiko certainly struck me as not looking right.

    Also, I think I need 3D glasses to watch the Midnight Channel.

    On the staff page. Google Translate if you don't believe me (although they read the kanji in his name as Masashi rather than Shoji).
