It hasn’t even begun airing in Japan yet, but the Persona 4 anime has already been licensed for a U.S. release by Sentai Filmworks.

Persona 4 the Animation will be a 25-episode series, and is being directed by Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats!, Magikano, Raagnorok the Animation) with the script being supervised by Yuuko Kakihara (Special A, Stitch!, Heaven’s Lost Property).

Sentai Filmworks say that digital distribution of Persona 4 the Animation will begin “soon” and that DVD and Blu-Ray releases will follow sometime in 2012.
