    Nah. An anime would be neat, but only if they keep it exactly to the script of the game.

    That would be the worst thing ever.  It would also be quite hilarious.

    No, that would fail horribly. I don't really think an anime could work all that well either to be honest.

    God no. I really don't want to see any more persona for a while. (except for P2)
     
    IMO Atlus should either make another main series title or another Spinoff.

    Sounds awful. If they were ever going to do anything with Persona 4, I would hope that they just make a direct sequel with all of the characters. But it's never gonna happen. Persona 4 is an entity unto itself just like Persona 3 was. They'll probably make a FES version ( if even that ) and then move on to Persona 5. You'll never see those characters in their own dedicated thing, whether it's a game or a T.V. show. It's probable that they'll get some sort of cameo in the next game, but that will be all they get.

    This is a horrible, awful idea and you should be incinerated for coming up with it. 
     
    They should just do an anime kinda like Persona: Trinity Soul only, well, good.

    I wouldn't mind an anime series done in the style of the cutscenes from the game, with the game's voice actors reprising their roles... but a live action american interpretation? Hell no! It'd be way to weird for a mainstream audience, and Persona fans would hate it for changing their beloved story elements/characters too much. 
     
    Although I must say I'd love to see the american live action interpretation of Teddie turning into a human. That would just be some crazy weird awesomeness.

    Also, Persona:  Trinity Soul didn't really have much to do with Persona 3 beyond the inclusion of Akihiko.  It wasn't so much an adaptation as it was a poorly conceived sequel that distanced itself from the actual game enough to not risk offending the fans.

    I don't think an american TV show would do it justice sadly. it would get ripped a part and worse, it would most likely be aimed at children. XP So I agree with the post above.

    I think a Persona TV show would be good. Not even one based on a specific game, but just the themes and ideas of Persona would be cool. 
     
    Still, I am going to echo what others had said. If they picked a specific game and changed the names, I might cry. Also, the MC would have to have an actual voice as they would have dialogue. That would just mess with my head. All he says is the name of Persona's...

    So it's like those bad 80s and 90s translation/dubbing of anime in the US...
     
    Except making it into a janky ass live action show?
     
    I'm just going to go watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch, or Buffy the Vampire Hunter thank you very much. (Or maybe Angel if I wanted it to be slightly serious)

    I was actually thinking about this after finishing Persona 4 and I THINK it can be done if it was in the right hands.
     
    I'm sorry OP that you were offended by the replies here but anime fans are really sensitive to their games/anime.  If they see the word "Americanized" then they freak out.
