"Persona 4 The Animation" Trailer Streamed, Theme Songs Announced, and More

More familiar names return to perform the theme songs

The official Persona 4 The Animation website has updated revealing new keyart (to the right), information on the theme songs, a new trailer and some additional info via twitter.

 

At midnight on July 27th, the new, not work safe, trailer began streaming from, the Midnight Channel, Mayonaka TV. The trailer will be available from there for a few hours starting at around midnight every night in Japan (11am Eastern, 8am Pacific) for a limited time and features a few not previously- shown-in-anime-form characters and the opening theme to the anime.

 

The opening theme, which can be heard in the new trailer, has been announced to be "sky's the limit" sung by one of the vocalists for the music in the game, Shihoko Hirato. The ending theme is "Beauty of Destiny" sung by Shihoko Hirato feat Lotus Juice. Both the opening and ending are composed by game composer Shoji Meguro with lyrics by Lotus Juice. Lotus Juice is the one of the vocalists for Persona 3 for songs such as Mass Destruction and Burn My Dread, among many other things.

 

Additionally, the full staff list has been added to the official site.

 

Finally, the official twitter account announced that the series will be 2 cours, i.e. will air over 26 weeks, so that all those scenes the fans want to see can be included.

 

Persona 4 The Animation begins airing in October 2011.

No, the series will have only 26 episodes, the way that the wording was is that it'll air from week 1 to week 26. It won't have more than 26 episodes.

Curious to see this one. I've heard lots of good things about the Persona 4 game in general.
Kind of would like to play it, but don't really want to drop 30 or 40 bucks for a video game.
Series will be only 26 episodes? :( sad.
