-snip- Hope thats not considered against the No research rule.
It shouldn't be, because it's a piece of the Buddhist religion.
I loved the Persona games. Hopefully the anime won't ruin the series for me.
Don't touch Persona: Trinity Soul, then. That almost ruined Persona 3 for me, and that's one of my favorite games. Seeing as how this is a direct adaptation of it, instead of a spin-off, then it should be fine. Only thing I dislike is that they named the main character "Yuu" instead of "Seta" like in the manga.
What's Persona about :O?
Depends which game. I haven't touched Persona 1, I think Persona 2 was about a journalist or something, Persona 3 is about a mysterious tower that appears at this time called the "Dark Hour" which is a hour of time between 12:00 and 12:01 AM. Persona 4 is about a series of murders in which after a rain and foggy day bodies appear on telephone lines.
