| Read the manga recently (the chapters that I could find which is about 7) and I did get mild enjoyment out of it. It also just happens to brush across subjects I have a thing for. (Horror/Cannibalism/Gore and possible incest) I'll wait for better more obvious signs of legit incest before I matter-o-factly call it such since from what I read, while having tiny vibes here and there, I've seen similar stuff in another bro/sis relationship (Joey/Jonouchi and Serenity/Shizuka from Yu-Gi-Oh) Therefore it really could just be" harmless" bro/sis love. I'm fine either way no matter which direction they plan to take it. I think some of you are jumping the gun though. Wait till there's legit confirmed incest before condemning it lol. (In all honesty, I'm not sure why the cannibalism is a-ok but the incest is apparently a big no no.....) Since I wasn't able to read too much yet, I can't fairly judge if this will be good or not. It seems kinda rough and amaturish SORT OF but plenty of manga start off rough and then end up brilliant... I'm just really happy to get another horror anime~ But judging from some reception...I can tell this series is really meant for a small target audience. 3 cheers for manga Carmen Sandiego btw. |

| I am glad that DEEN is doing this after seeing them animate Rozen Maiden right now. Horror elements should be right up their alley. Pupa is up to chapter 27 in monthly Earth Star Comics magazine. Damn cliffhanger! |

TraumaticSherry said: Three tankobons out so far. The wrestling anime has about the same number 26 and it will be full length episodes. Teekyuu and Yama no Susume had less chapters but they were shorts. We'll see how Earth Star does with full length anime soon I guess!hpulley said: I am glad that DEEN is doing this after seeing them animate Rozen Maiden right now.

| I can't wait to see a PV for this honestly... |

| Hmm, this one is easily the toughest choice for my Fall watchlist. To be frank, i find the manga very disturbing at many ways, because of both the intense graphic violences which probably will be creepier on anime (unless it gets toned down/censored), and the blatant incest overtones. And the fact that this series actually dares to step its game up by having the imouto constantly predating her own big bro, while ramping up the edginess, makes it nearly unreadable to me due to how disgusting it is. But, if there's anything positive i can take, it's that this show definitely won't be boring, due to the way this series put heavy focus on the humiliation and degradation of the siblings and have them help each other in a gritty situations, instead of having them bang each other in cookie-cutter romcom situations like countless ones with "Ore no . . " title out there. While the plot is pretty confusing with crazy twist on some part, it doesn't matter to me too much given the strength that each characters carry here. And more horror anime is always welcome |
| It's supposed to be disgusting and disturbing! Job well done! I just hope they do it justice. So far Earth Star has been very good that way but this is one of those shows that might have been better if done as an OAD as far as censorship is concerned, unless this is airing on AT-X... |
| I still doubt this is going to happen.... Just read the Manga and I can already see it getting censored all the way. |
Amelanduil said: It's funny because it means butt in my language. I'm not exactly sure why I laughed so hard. Anyways, Deen is great with horror so this will be one of the anime on the top of my hype list for fall. Wow, fall seems like a great season already. I can't wait~ |
| The manga cover is enough to interest me. |
| ^ I think you pretty much spoiled the whole serie, thanks man at least you should put this into a spoiler, just saying |

| Stop animating things that aren't finished yet, please. It always ends up getting a bad ending. |
2-D said: While I share your sentiment it doesn't happen often as the anime is meant to plug the original work, increase the manga sales. Doesn't work as well if the series is done and the anime adapts the whole thing. Why by the manga if you know the whole story already??? Sucks for us but better for them if you have to buy the manga to find out how it ends.Stop animating things that aren't finished yet, please. It always ends up getting a bad ending. |
2-D said: Your suggestion would only lead to nothing gets animated if you look at the business logic of why manga gets animated. How many anime is adapted from a manga that is finished?? As for whether it will be a bad ending, it is not necessarily the case - the ending can be a nice wrap-up of a major arc in the manga and this would not be that bad. Come to think of it, even the ending of manga can often be "bad" so your logic would just fail if the animation is made following a "bad" manga ending LOLStop animating things that aren't finished yet, please. It always ends up getting a bad ending. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| The manga is not finished yet and is only 8 chapters, so I don't know how they plan to conclude an anime series. Make things up like a lot of them do? The manga isn't very well written though so I am hoping this is a step up! |
cranbarrier said: No, no, no.. Perhaps you only managed to find 8 chapters translated but the manga already has 3 full volumes published. Anime is known to be made even with 2 volumes of manga published without the need to come up with much original content, so 3 volumes should not be too hard to be made into a TV anime series.The manga is not finished yet and is only 8 chapters, so I don't know how they plan to conclude an anime series. |

Oh you are right, my bad. I guess it only gets uploaded now because it's becoming an anime? Also maybe the story develops better past where I have read, because it's very rushed and there's not a lot of depth so far. |

Please don't judge it from free translations either! http://comic-earthstar.jp/author/detail12.php  Well, yeah, obviously it's being scanlated, not officially released. I am saying it's probably being scanlated now because an anime is being released. I can also recognize when scanlation quality is poor (poor english, poor sentence structure) but that doesn't really change the pace of a story either. It's easy to recognize when a story is very fast paced. |

They probably won't which is the problem with the catch-22 of ongoing manga getting animated. They never really finish the whole thing. |
Looks amazing... |

| We've definitely seen reports that Sekai Ichiban will be full length, the first full length adaptation from Earth Star Comics but I don't know that we've seen that for Pupa. Up to now all three adaptations from Earth Star have been shorts in Tekyuu, Mangirl! and Yama no susume. I think it was assumed that both Pupa and Sekai Ichiban this season and Nobunagan in winter would be full length but it is possible that one or both of the other two are shorts. There is enough material for Pupa certainly for a full length anime with 4 manga volumes out (Tekyuu and Yama no susume had only 2 volumes out and only used the first few chapters from their second volumes). But that is no guarantee as many unrelated 4-koma adaptations have had 4 or more volumes available and yet have still made shorts. |
| Certainly not your average story. I'll give it a try as soon as it comes out. |
| Hahaha I just laughed in despair. Maybe they make this like with this Litchi☆Hikari Club you know "funny show" for average kids. I hope this not going to happen, if yes, I'm just kill myself nah :) |
 you tellin me mangas aint japanese colouring books |
| Someone who actually knows Japanese should look at this. The author of the Pupa Manga, Mogi Sayaka, posted a blog entry regarding the anime, and from what I can understand it seems like it won't air in October, but will still air sometime during the fall. I'm not exactly sure I'm understanding this correctly, though. http://pm0-3091.jugem.jp/?eid=1326 EDIT: According to a Japanese follower of mine on Twitter, the gist is that it won't air in first week of October but it will still air this season. |

| I came to check in on news for when this might start, and it's a tragedy in here! Might be shorts? Might be delayed? Egad, can't we get a good horror anime? Is that really too much to ask of the season? Pls, Pupa. You and Samurai Flamenco were the two I was banking on to be good. |
