Persona is one of the most popular JRPG franchises in the world, and is extremely well-known even in the west. The games are a lot of fun, featuring stylish gameplay, catchy music, and memorable characters, allowing them to leave a mark even with those who are only casually into the role-playing game genre. Persona is one of the few representatives of the JRPG genre to break out into the mainstream, and it's not going anywhere any time soon.

Part of the series' popularity and reach can also be attributed to their anime adaptations, which have translated the franchise's lovable characters and intriguing stories into the world of anime. Persona 3, 4, and 5 have all received an adaptation in one way or another, allowing them to reach even people who don't play games much or don't enjoy JRPGs but want to experience the story. The Shin Megami Tensei series is the series that spawned the Persona series, but it is far less popular than its spin-off series. An anime adaptation might do a lot to get new people interested in the series, or at least give it more of a presence in the west.

Regardless, almost any Shin Megami Tensei game could be easily translated to anime without having to change the style so much that it turns off fans of the games.
