Persona 4 - an interesting find

Persona 4 is an anime adaptation of a popular video game with the same title. It's actually, basically, about a guy Narukami who just transferred in. He seems like someone who is just plain bored with life. He became friends with his classmates, Chie, Yosuke and Amagi. One day, they were discussing about a famous TV reporter's murder in their place and with it came up the rumor about a mysterious channel turning on at midnight.

Narukami who just happened to be stuck in his living room at midnight encountered the reality of the rumor and saw the mysterious midnight channel and found himself being sucked in to the television. Fortunately, he escaped from being sucked in since the television was small for him to fit in. He told Yosuke and Chie about his experience. They had mixed reactions of what happened but were interested at the same time. When they were talking about Narukami's experience, they were at Yosuke's family's business establishment that was selling household appliances and they were in front of a television. Suddenly, the next thing they knew, the 3 of them were sucked in to a different dimension with a lot of weird creatures and Narukami summoning something to fight them off. So what now?
I'm not really familiar with this video game franchise simply because I don't play video games but I decided to watch it anyways. Everything was good but not really exceptional. Nothing really that great. The biggest letdown for me was their uniform though. It was annoying and it was really bugging me. I felt uncomfortable watching those weird uniforms.
I don't have much to say about this anime since I'm not even sure if I'll watch this for long because it really didn't leave that much impact but I might be watching for the next 2 or 3 episodes and see how it goes. But for you guys who like fighting anime stuff, this one is good for you. I want to find out a deeper plot and if it is good, I might love this series eventually.
