Absolutely.
On a gameplay level, Persona 2:IS is incredibly flawed (random encounters and pathetically easy difficulty) but it has a rich story, amazing story and great game feel. Persona 2:EP (the sequel) is all that and then some, but we sadly only have access to the PS1 port (which is great, but it could have been much better).
So overall i'd given them a chance. I like the P2 duology about as much / slightly more than P3.

HELL YEA SON!!!
Persona 2 games are pretty good and you should pick them up sometime down the horizon. A tat different from 3/4 but still enjoyable and story holds up pretty well.
EDIT:
There should be a brief statement in the OT regarding FES psn. Your save data will run the chance of getting deleted!!! If you have a PS2 and want FES, get that. Otherwise get P3P, there is no shame in it
Sell it to me!
The things I dislike in anime (Or other shows, but generally only really occur in anime) are things like the over the top fight scenes with crazy high jumps and explosions and lasers and swords and whatnot. Also robots. And that weird nonsense science that a lot of anime seem to have. And a lot of the time, the art styles. And... probably some other things.
I'll second this. Persona 1 and 2 aren't terrible and aren't overly exceptional. If you're a fan of the series, they're worth a shot.
Cowboy Bebop is none of that stuff, so you're fine. It's just a big homage to John Woo films and American westerns. It's really good stuff, doesn't have a lot of the tropes you're thinking of.
I'd love to get into P2, but I just don't have a PSP.
EDIT: Just so you know, I recommend bebop to all of my friends, even those that don't like anime. ESPECIALLY the ones who don't like anime. Everyone I show it to seems to dig it. It's the the future, but has a really gritty "blade-runner" feel to it.

There are no robots or weird science, it's pretty much urban fantasy, but there's a lot of fight scenes. It's about seven masters who are fighting over the Holy Grail, and they summon in servants based upon legends to help them fight the battles for them. Only the winning Master/Servant can obtain the grail.
The servants tend to fight slightly over the top, but the fight scenes are insanely detailed. The masters stick to realism (one of the protagonists is a firm gun user and fights using seemingly mundane methods, for example.)
The whole series is on Crunchyroll: You can watch the first episode here.
Cowboy Bebop is very grounded.
It's got a very Ghibli-like status in that it's anime, but a large majority of the people like it don't watch anime and thus don't even usually cite CB as such.
Which is interesting to think about when you notice how many people love Persona 4, but don't like JRPGs normally.

You see, now we're getting somewhere.
Maybe I'll give them a look after all.
I haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, tbh, but it's always been recommended, so there's that. I've wanted to, but I don't have easy access to it, plus I'm always doing/playing/watching something else, so don't consider that as a detriment to not watch it.
As for Fate/Zero, awesome series, very well animated and not too many dull moments, if any. On my top 5 anime.
Oh, 22 right now, birthday is in august. Seeing as some people here are over 24 I don't feel so old now, haha

Something special has just happened in this thread. Let's never forget it.
For what it's worth, Bebop was the first anime I sat down to watch since Pokémon when I was a kid. Totally worth it, and completely blew away any negative expectations I had about watching anime in the process.

The thing about that is.......
Cowboy Bebop has none of that AT ALL, so you'll be good dude. It also has a killer OST, Memorable characters and seller animation. In all honesty, I think you'll enjoy it! The anime for the non-anime fan if you will.
Doesn't get mentioned enough, but the music in Bebop was freaking amazing as well.
Best thing I have in my "collection" of stuff is the case of the 5th volume signed by Watanabe, Kawamoto, and Kanno I got at an anime convention in 2002.
Sigh, I need to do more cons, that was an awesome experience, even if I almost got trapped in NYC overnight thanks to watching the IY Adult Swim premiere at the Planet Hollywood, lol.

It's a Space Western. One of the finest examples too.
Also, radical (and not too serious) idea from watching Buddha play Persona 1. What if Persona 5 was a first person RPG? Like genuine first person movements with animation worthy of 2013, not "psuedo-1995 dungeon crawler" style?

Aeana tweeted these. LOL @ these fan translators.
Well, Monokuma does talk with a lot of -kuma suffixes, so it's a natural progression.

Man, I love me some DCs, but Atlus has a TON of FP DCs coming out now.
Turn on Dark, breh.
This man knows what's up.
Don't worry, I had to use some online avatar making program to make mine since I dont know anything about any of those types of programs!
It's the same with mine. You can see a bit of white around the edges.
If you give me the source, I can attempt to fix it for you.
I've been using the Dark theme, and I hadn't noticed it. But now that you've pointed it out, now I can't help but notice it. Congratulations!
I notice it right away, which is amazing considering my shitty eyes.
OK, shoot.

It joins The Last Guardian and Mother 4
If Index goes under what happens to Persona 5
Nothing. Sony acquires P-Studio and the rights to the franchise. Boom. Done.
How does that look?
or this one?
Yeah, I think the second one looks much better.
It does! Thank you!
This feels really shallow, but I was like, yay redhead, and realized they had me right there.
Anytime!
Redheads make everything better. It's Mitsuru's best quality. Not the money, intelligence or popularity.
Don't make me execute you!
