The Wait for Persona 4: The Animation

First off I would like to say that I wasn't expecting much from the Persona 4 anime and was actually awaiting it with dread to begin with. Why? Because most of the time anime based on games are shit or boring to say the least. So far the only exception to this that I've seen is Tales of Symphonia, which I greatly liked. Oh and just to be clear, I am not counting anime based on visual novels here (like TYPE-MOON or Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom), because they're visual novels, not games, and they are usually quite excellent. Also, if it was going to be anything like Persona Trinity Soul I knew I would be very disappointed. When I watched that series I thought it was alright - slow but alright. Now though that I've been playing Persona 3, I am perfectly aware of how Trinity Soul did not do it justice at all (I Think I was subconsciously aware of this all the time, just ignored it). They even managed to turn Akihiko boring and stuck up! Why did you do that to my Akihiko? (┯_┯) I don't understand why they changed the personae to look so boring too. So since that was the only example of a Persona anime, I was quite worried.... but....
