It had better be a real adaptation and not something like P:TS

Anyway, definitely looking forward to this.

Depends. If the adaptation is at least fairly loyal to the game, then it would be a good idea to play the game to see the overall plot. It's a good game, although the slow pacing can turn some people off, so I recommend it to anyone anyway.

I always believed Persona 4 had more potential for an anime than any other game in the series.

I really don't know about this. I love the game, but I highly doubt how well this fits to anime, especially the fights. And ...harem maybe? Please no.

.. but at least Shoji fucking Meguro makes the music, I can't imagine Megaten games without him.

I know I saw that too. Dude, why. Where was he ever named that anyways? As far as I recall there was just Seta Souji. Unless there was some drama CD and he was named Yu there, but even so..that's just..ugh. Well, people better learn his REAL name, cause I sure as hell ain't ever calling him Yu. It's Seta Souji from start to finish and that's what I'm going by. So if people get confused and say 'Who the fuck is that', they can deal.

AIC and Seji Kishi? This is going to suck. Really, Seji Kishi should stay exclusivly as a comedy director (I don't particularly like his style of comedy, but at least I an see the appeal in it.). I f you watched episode 4 of Angel Beats, you should know why I am saying that. There he tried to mix drama with comedy and failed hard, so he should stick to what he is comfortable with.

I haven't played the game, btw (although I have played a bit of the DS SMT titles), but I think that the Brains Base/Omori Takahiro combination which Aniplex utilized for Durarara would have been better suited for this.

This. Not gonna call him Yu Narukami, you can be sure of that. Although it's quite fitting if you don't know him differently so I guess it's fine either way. It's awesome enough we even get an anime, so I don't actually care what they call him.

Come on guys, MC has NO CANON NAME. Are you that stuck on a random name a mangaka chose for him? Besides, if the name does refer to electricity, as someone commented, then it's even more fitting. Izanagi, MC's first Persona, WAS an electric-based Persona.

I'm a little iffy on the director, but the fact they got 4 of the original seiyuu back (including the MC's Seiyuu....yes, he had one since he yells out the Persona's names in battle) AND the music composer of the game to boot has me pumped. For anyone who's interested, here's the rest of the game's original seiyuu cast:
Kuma- Yamaguchi Kappei (Inuyasha, Ranma)
Naoto Shirogane- Paku Romi (Edward Elric, Hitsugaya Toushiro)
Rise Kujikawa- Kugimiya Rie (Shana, Aisaka Taiga)
Kanji Tatsumi- Seki Tomokazu (Sagara Sousuke,Chiaki Shinichi)

Now he has a canon name, and actually, in contrary to what I said earlier, I kind of get used to it and it's puns.
Oh wait... that was not the reason I posted this, lol, I tend to get lost. Just wanted to say that it's great they kept the original voice actor cast, if I remember correctly, didn't they? Looking forward to Naoto, hurr, Paku Romi is just so fitting!
And not to forget Shoji Meguro, I can't wait to hear the soundtrack already.

Well, the one's I mentioned are merely a reference list in case they don't get them. But they announced that the voice actors of Yosuke, MC, Chie and Yukiko will be the same. so that's half the original cast already on board. Cross your fingers for some Paku Romi goodness too. xD

lol, I'm seriously tired, I can see it, can't even read clearly what's written anymore.
Anyways, it'd be great but as you said they are probably gonna stay the same, or so we should hope because the original VAs did a great job in the game and it'd be a pity if they wouldn't be in the anime, too.
BUT AT LEAST SHOJI REALLY MAKES THE SOUNDTRACK RIGHT? Good, then at least about that I can be 100% sure and looking forward to. :D

Yep, he is. I'm looking forward to the Engrish lyrics lol.

Edit: I checked the ANN news and they seem to imply the whole cast is coming back. I'll have to cross my fingers and hope they weren't just assuming.

As long as he doesn't turn out a pessimist like the manga version I'm fine. IMO from the actual game the MC seemed more outgoing and friendly than the manga suggests. After all, the way I saw it from playing the game, the MC and his archenemy are like flip sides of the same coin so a just, friendly and trustworthy MC would fit more as a foil for the bad guy.

Assuming they stick to the plot faithfully that is. At the very least, considering they're using the same characters they're at least aiming for a similar plot.
