Has anyone noticed how many school oriented anime are released every season? I’m hard pressed to think of one show this season that isn’t related to school kids one way or another.

All the cool kids are doing it…

Have you ever felt the need to relieve the stress of a terrible day by relentlessly beating some poor helpless monster with a stop sign or by dating a bunch of girls, all at the same time? I have. Dealing with a plethora of small screaming children and their terrible parents will do that to you. Making you want to scream at them and not being able to? Persona 4 helped me deal with getting through those crappy days…and I still need to finish the game. (Hey, hey! I’m on the last couple of days!) But now to the point of this post.

AIC is bringing us Persona fans Persona 4: The Animation this fall, and like all the other cool kids on the block (aka other more prestigious anime bloggers), I will also be blogging this show.

Now why do something that surely everyone else will be doing?

…because I want to try this out…and I figured blogging a show I’ll definitely (hopefully) enjoy would be the best way to start.

Now time for a summary of P4 to help get you excited.

[Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, known in Japan as Persona 4 (ペルソナ4, Perusona Fō?) or P4, is a role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus for Sony‘s PlayStation 2, and chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Persona 4 was released in Japan in July 2008, North America in December 2008, and Europe in March 2009. It features a weather forecast system with events happening on foggy days to replace the moon phase system implemented in the previous games.

Instead of the city locales of previous games in the series, Persona 4 takes place in a fictional Japanese countryside and is indirectly related to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 in terms of gameplay and production. The player-named main protagonist is a high-school student who moved into the countryside from the city for a year. During his year-long stay, he becomes involved in investigating mysterious murders while harnessing the power of summoning Persona.] (Info from: Wikipedia)

Please look forward to it!

(And please look forward to my future post about Atlus’ recent game Catherine. I just need to finish playing it first.)
