Grab yourself Persona 4 (the game) though (if you have a PS2) - it's well worth it. |

I thought everyone loved Seto no Hayanome. Guess I was wrong.

To his defense, Sunred was a pretty fun series, but then again I wouldn't use it as any sort of indicative for his quality as a director, considering it's a little comedy show. Of course, your mileage may vary, since this only my own opinion, but yeah, I can't bring myself to be excited over a Kishi directed show anymore. Quote:

To be fair, I overlooked that issue and thought Angel Beats on the whole was quite good - so thus, I have faith in the director for P4A. Besides, the source material for P4A (if it is confirmed to be an adaptation of the game) is superior in every way in comparison to AB! |

notsureifserious.jpgI don't want to get into a different topic, but I don't consider Seiji Kishi a good director. I found out that many of his work had some pretty questionable direction once I paid attention to it, and I've only liked one anime he had directed and that was Tentai Senshi Sunred and that was akin to something you might find on adult swim in terms of humor.
That's not to say he's a horrible director (there are far worse) but I just consider him ... mediocre I suppose. Doesn't help that his most notable works are Angel Beats and Seto, so I can tell that there will be a high chance I wont enjoy this. Quote:

But that's about Angel Beats , not Perosna, so ... EDIT Oh yeah, he did direct Ragnarok The Animation as well, didn't he ...? It looks like Seto and AB were his best works after all ...

I'm really can't fault the director when its comes to AB! we all know who that handle mostly of show. No director can do s*** if the script is very bad.
But its maybe reflecting his quality and reputation though with him accepting the job Quote:
But I get why most people not like it, because the setting completely different, the persona is disgusting, not too mention P3 is booming hard and P:TS isn't anything like that.

whats bad with Seto and AB? I both enjoyed it specially seto while AB is..... well enjoying with turn your brains off function because of... I can't understand whats happening with it's pacing. But heck that series got only 1 cour. I bet the director would do better if he got at least 2 cour.
I had faith on the staff as always. I will only get angry after seeing it or hearing how long it will run. Specially when I played P4 I spent 100+ hours playing it. And knowing it will be turn into anime was awesome news. But for it to be 1 cour only .... well thats 300-400 mins. ... .. I loose all hope. 100 + hours turns into 300-400 means bad end. Hope for the staff and hope for more than 1 cour or be better create a 4 cour but I doubt miracle will happen.

But hey, new anime, new chances right? Maybe this time he'll get something truly amazing right? I mean it's not likely but still.

Regarding the Director, I don't think Angel Beats! was such a terrible show. The main problem with it is that it's clearly was meant to be 2 cours instead of 1. I found it to be over all fairly fun, and if Persona managed to balance the drama and comedy as well it would be on the right track.
A more interesting question is what will and what won't be included in the Anime. As we know there's probably 30-40 hours of plot and dialogue at least in Persona 4, and some of that will probably need to be fleshed out for it to work in an Anime format. Also, with all the social links included the plot could easily feel schizophrenic (what does playing Basketball/soccer have to do with saving people around Inaba?), so I'd say they'll eliminate a lot of the Social Links, as they're superfluous to the main plot. That said they will have to keep the material from a few to have a comprehensible plot and keep the whole "power of friendship" themes going. I'd say at a minimum we'll have all the plot relevant characters get their social links covered. I'd include in that all the main characters (Yukiko, Yousuke, Chie, Kaji etc.), Ryutaro and Nanako Dojima, and probably Naoki. The Fox might cameo as well maybe. What do you guys think of this appraisal? You think any others might get included? I suppose the rest might all cameo though (maybe there'll be a filler episode where MC tries to hold down all these bizarre part time jobs...) Another question is how they'll portray the combat and dungeons, they'll probably focus on making them a sort of "descent into the subconcious" type deal, how shadows will figure into this is another matter. Another interesting point might be that they might switch MC to only keeping a single Persona, Izanagi. I'm not sure if this would be a good idea. I think of all the RPGs out there Persona 4 would probably be one of the easier ones to convert to an Anime, I wonder how they'll exactly do it though. |

The problem is maybe its will too rushed, and they might skip the daily life and comedy part which make it disappointing.

However, the MC would not be all that special anymore, what with the removal of his wildcard ability. Quote:
That's why I'd say 3-cour might be a quality option for this (but thinking about it, 4-cour, as tsunade said, might actually work). |
