A new Persona 4: The Animation trailer featuring Rise and Kanji wearing next-to-nothing? I'd say that's exciting enough, since the last trailer was three months ago. But a trailer featuring the show's previously-unheard opening theme song? That's even better! What is best about the trailer is that, except for the version we've posted above, it's only "aired" on the Midnight Channel at midnight every night. So cool!
The opening theme is "sky's the limit," sung by Shihoko Hirato, and the ending theme is "Beauty of Destiny," also sung by Shihoko Hirato with Lotus Juice. Both songs are written by Shoji Meguro with lyrics by Lotus Juice, both of them having worked on music for the recent Persona series.
The series will last for two seasons, which is around 24-26 episodes in Japan. There's no word on any US licensing, but NIS America made Persona: Trinity Soul on of its debut anime titles, so there's always a chance they might license this series as well. Considering how good this trailer looks, they'd be fools not to.
this anime is going to be good i can feel it.
also Persona trinity soul is the only anime ever that was able to make me cry...and 3 times... /mylife even tho Clannad tried pretty hard
@Trailer really love the music. It's the kind of song that you hear in the morning that gives you the spirit to tackle the day. Shoji Meguro's works have always inspired this feeling to me.
@de5gravity: I am surprised how many people disliked Trinity Soul. Like you, I found it to be quite engaging at times. Lots of good character development moments, even though it wasn't canon to Persona 3.
Loving it. I can tell even if the animation itself won't be great (ATLUS can't top the likes of Production I.G. quite yet), it'll definitely be something to remember. Why did they keep the cut-ins?
Can't wait to watch the adventures of Charlie Tun- I mean, the P4 Protagonist. I mean, it looks like they're going to have at least some of the social links (would make for decent filler), the music is sounding great, and they even kept the eye catch cut-ins! Still...
*Daydreams about how ridiculously awesome a P4 anime adaptation would be if the protagonist had the personality of Charlie Tunoku.*
Also Jesus Christ creepy fish eyes guy scares me, was it Kubo, I can’t remember, because I blocked him out of my memory, because Jesus Christ his creepy fish eyes scare me.

I need this anime, like right now this anime season so far's been rather shocking. Also who needs to wait for american licensing really? fansubs ftw although I shall be dissapoint if no decent groups sub it, but I really can't see that happening since persona's pretty popular >.>

@MuddBstrd: Well, it was shadow Kanji, so he might not look like that most of the time :(

I'm curious to see how they add a voice to a universally-feeling, silent main character.
