She's here.

Really now, who actually thought she was going to be excluded from the show?

Sweeeeeet

Well that was a bit pointless.

Also the fuli opening is on NicoNico

A surprising amount of people. I never thought so, though, 'cause she's obviously essential to the story.

And tomorrow should be our final full color trailer, which will no doubt be including Naoto.

Why did people believe Naoto wouldn't be in the anime? She's kind of a big character.

I wonder if they'll contact Jeff and Vinny to narrate the show.

Great! Now all those Naoto nay-sayers can shut up.

I wonder if Marie will show up in the anime? Would that make sense?

I don't really like Naoto D:

That'll be a weird narration.

Same here. At first I was like where is she till I started thinking she didn't really mean much to the story till September.

Depends if Atlus told the anime studio, AIC, where to place her in the show. It maybe too late for them to do it since they are probably done animating a few episodes by now.

Why is this significant? Should I just go out and play the game already?

I dunno. It was super silly and 100% unfounded.

Y'know, when they released the list of staffers working on this anime, I lost all hope/hype. No way this'll be any good:/

That's just a hack job, done by a fan.

I never thought they were going to exclude Naoto so this is no surprise for me.

That track is sooooo awesome, hopefully it'll get uploaded somewhere until I can actually buy it.

@mutha3: There was a reason I said "fuli" and not "full"

Took the words out of my mouth, I don't understand why people were thinking that. It's true that she hadn't been shown prior to this video, but Rise and Kanji hadn't been shown for the first few trailers either.

WAIT, people actually though naoto was not going to be in it. i can see her not being season one unless this is going to be a long form(around 50+ episode season)

It's significant because the Giant Bomb community enjoys posting every single thing persona related ever. I can't blame them, honestly, considering the amount of threads made simply because of something hyperbolic and obviously marketing-related that Todd Howard has said about Skyrim. In any case, Naoto is in the anime. Because people honestly thought that she wouldn't be.

And yeah, you should probably play Persona 4. I have yet to, oddly enough, but if it's anything like Persona 3 (and if the 100+ hours of the endurance run have pretty much confirmed that it is), then it is a game worth playing.

Its confirm to have a running of 25 episodes which is enough to get everything in. And yeah a few people were questioning why Naoto didn't show up in the past PVs. I suspect that it because she wasn't a main character till this point in the plotline. But here she is. Now to wait 3 more weeks till the first episode airs.

I believe they've unveiled every character on the date their dungeon unlocks in the game, Naoto's would (technically) be unlockable September 16th which is when the countdown (http://www.mayonaka-tv.jp/) ends, Japanese time : )

I think, I may be totally wrong.
