    Here's the newest trailer.  Some cool new shots of the persona summoning, Rise, and the horrific scene of seeing Charlie actually moving his mouth while talking with Yosuke.

    Boy that was uploaded quick. Impossible to judge until I hear dialog but looks good nonetheless. More looking forward to the soundtrack really.

    I don't know what to make of the animation. It looks amazing in some spots, and so-so in others. 
     
    Also, this.

    even if this anime blows, it'll have served a purpose as a glorified P4 remix album by Meguro.

    The music is probably the opening theme anyways, so it's gonna be stuck in every trailer. Now for the long wait until September for Naoto's trailer. Wonder if they'll do anything special the day Mitsuo appears though.

    Yep, I'd post that one picture of that Naruto show floating around which has a female character saying "YOU LOOK PRETTY COOL NARUTO" while cross-eyed to illustrate your point.....
     
    But, eh, effort.

    I'd assume another trailer. He isn't a main character, but neither were Mayumi and Konishi now, where they?

    I think the most interesting little bits are the shot of Yukiko looking at the bird in the cage and Charlie opening his goddamn mouth and talking to Yosuke. It reminds us that this is not going to be an exact replica of the game and that there are indeed new things to be seen.

    Yu Narukami, which roughly translates to "Become a god".

    It can certainly be interpreted as a pun that way, but as Pepsiman told me a while back it is a majestic name in its own right. Forgot what exactly it means, though it's pretty righteous.

    Nah, That's people taking the words Naru and Kami separately, on top of using Yu in an English context.
     
    Actually translated, his name means rice thundergod or something. Probably sounds less silly in Japanese!

    This is still looking great, and while the music has been the same in pretty much all of these, at least it's fantastic music.  Anyone else vaguely creeped out by that shot of Yukiko staring at the birdcage, though...?

    To me, JP Rise was so, so much worse. Every second spent listening to that VA is pure agony.

    I feel like I'm tripping when I see those eye close-ups and shadows/personas animated like that. I want the soundtrack, hopefully Meguro's made lots of entirely new tunes.

    Maybe it's time to finally play Persona 4. Picked it up after watching some of the Endurance Run because it looked really interesting but never got around to it.

    That soundtrack though, MMM. Can't wait to pick it up.
