| Interesting, I'm always up for a good action fantasy anime with some mystery. Also this looks like it could perhaps have some nice visuals and intense action sequences. |
| Not set in high school is a plus. |
 |
| This is fate. I looked up this novel a few days ago on MAL and I was like, "Looks really cool, wish it would get an anime..." And then I saw this. Wow. |
 |
| so as I read the word 'light novel' a few questions come to mind: are most the heroes actually girls in skimpy clothing? is there one male hero that makes all the cicks fall for him? Will we get ridiculously stupid keyboard smash names? LastChapter said: Eerie atmosphere when Tgurneu speaks, the anime better give me shivers during those scenes. TGURNEU. SMASH. CONFIRMED. Alright, looked up some more names. My vote goes to "Hans Humpty" for best name 2014. I bet he's going to shout attack names in broken german~ |

| Can't wait. |
| This sounds interesting. |
 |
| No harem tag? I am suprised. Oh well, I heard this LN is actually a bit better than the other ones. Then again, people said the same about Mahouka. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Meh, I'll check it out. :P |
| Looks cool. |
| Sounds like my sort of anime, looking forward to it. |
 |
| THAT is ONE heck of an interesting cover image. Then I clicked on the Alternative version and saw taped tits with an unexpectedly way more banal-looking face. ......but THEN, I read "Majin" (which happens to be the same description in the LN, which I disregarded because of the beautiful image), and thought of Disgaea. Then I saw "calls himself the strongest man in the world" and I imagined Zeta, and now, I suddenly want this shit right now. |
| What would happen if DEEN animated it. Discuss. |
| >Not Harem >There are 6 Main Protagonist Sure i`ll watch it, i should lower my expectation. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| I heard some positive feed backs from a reliable source. This should be good. |
| magic LN without harem and ecchi ??! is this real life... |
 |
| Pretty excited for this. |
 |
| Ah, I can't get anything from those ambiguous descriptions on MAL! But so many people say it's going to be good... |
| Will looking forward to it |
 |
| The studio who adapt this chose wisely, while not anything different, they've at least chose something decent for once and not the typical bottom of the barrel LN. |
 |
| Looks awesome, will check it out when it airs. |
| Wonderful news. I will read a few pages of novel then. |

tsubasalover said: It was revealed on the wraparound jacket band for the third manga volume of Rokka no Yuusha that an anime adaptation has been green-lit. The original light novel series is written by Kei Toru that made its debut in summer of 2011. Author is Yamagata Ishio, not Kei Toru. Kei Toru is the manga adaptation author. Now, I don't know if I should rejoice or not. This is a complicate dfeeling... I'd like to jump around and rejoice but at the same time I can't believe that it's going to go well. There are high chance that the anime will follow the manga because the LN has chara designs and so on which don't look manga-ish at all. All in all, the manga version looks far more like something that would get an anime adaptation (not only in the designs, but in the changes in the story as well) than the LN. And I mean that in a bad way ;x. Well, the manga isn't far away so they'll have to use the LN afterward, but if they take the manga route right from the start some stuff aren't going to be the same at all afterward either :x. And yeah, if they actually follow the LN properly and take the time to make a faithfull adaptation, then the news is great. If they adapt the manga instead, then I could care less and they can go to hell with their adaptation of that thing. BTW, the animation will probably adapt either 3 or 5 volumes imo. Finishing where the 4th volume ends would be a bit.. Cruel, I'd say. LastChapter said: I can imagine it already, the episode discussion forums debating and arguing who is the seventh, then some troll is going to ruin it for everyone. You can be sure that it's going to happen, alas. so as I read the word 'light novel' a few questions come to mind: are most the heroes actually girls in skimpy clothing? is there one male hero that makes all the cicks fall for him? One of the girl has a bit of a skimpy clothing, others are either in armor or priest garments. No harem, there's only a little bit of romance in there. main characters are 5 women/girls and 3 men. One of the woman is married and have a child. TGURNEU. SMASH. CONFIRMED. Alright, looked up some more names. My vote goes to "Hans Humpty" for best name 2014. I bet he's going to shout attack names in broken german~ Tgurneu isn't a human. As for Hans, it's a mix of Touhokuben and cat-speech patterns. Last time I went in Germany, they weren't talking like that at all. Hmmmm, that pose on the cover isn't the most inviting. You probably saw the manga covers rather than the LN though~ If that was the third volume cover in the pic showing the anime confirmation, that character is so far away from the original design that I almost didn't recognize her... Here is the original design : http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/3/214749.jpg I really fear that they're going to make heavy changes, hugh...>_< |

| A good friend of mine recommended me the LN a while ago. Looks like it's time to go read it finally. Looking forward to the adaptation, though it'll probably get poor treatment like most LNs out there. |
 |
| First Koe no Katachi and now Rokka no Yuusha? this is a really damn good week.2015 looking better and better - just please let some good studio to do both or I'm going to rage. |

| Didn't see this coming. I'm happy though. One thing that bothers me is the manga design, looks kinda moe-ish I guess.The LN design looks more serious. Hopefully they go by the LN. |
| .. |
| Lol, I knew this coming. Cant wait <3 |

| That actually sounds not terrible. Will give it a look. |
| I'm praying that they don't take the route that follows the manga adaptation. I strongly dislike the way the manga looks like + the changes they did. |
| It's not ecchi nor otaku pandering. If you want a description based on type of story, it's mostly like a combination of a westerner fantasy novel coupled with mystery and psychological element about betrayer in your rank. |
|
| Can you compare it to the movie Reservoir Dogs? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
genres: action, adventure, mystery, fantasy, magic Yessss! no demographic tag this will be good. |
Beast666 said: 2-cours hopefully. LastChapter said: 1 cour with four volumes? I feel that would be rushed though. Hm, I see. 2 cours huh. Would be great if it was. |
 |
| Finally some exciting news, I've waited for this. Hope they'll make good& faithful adaptation, Rokka deserves that. |
| Seems cool, might watch it |
 |
| Great news, Add to my plan to watch list :) |
 |
| Seems like my previous post was missed by the staff. So again : the op is wrong, Rokka no Yuusha's author isn't Toru Kei, it's Yamagata Ishio. Toru Kei is the author of that "manga adaptation" of the LN. Can you compare it to the movie Reservoir Dogs? Sorry, I don't think I ever saw a movie called reservoir dogs, so I can't~ |
|
| It's the first Tarantino movie (and one of his best ones imho) about a bunch of criminals who need to find a traitor amongst themselves after a failed heist. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| will be reading the novel next year for sure and watching the anime also |
| I haven't read the novel, but this looks amazing. |
sevendeadlywins said: yay another generic shonen action "fight to the death" anime Except it's not a shounen, and that last time I checked, a fantasy setting with proper mysteries (including a locked room mystery) and psychological with an unknown betrayer in your ranks (including a part in enclosed space) is everything but generic. I don't know what they will make of it in the anime, but the original material at the very least is about as far away from generic for a fantasy work as you could found. Even the divine powers from the Saints are fairly interesting, like power of the swamp, power of salt, power of words, of fresh blood, and so on. The main enemies are very interesting as well. Manipulative, understanding people's psychology, they play with other's feelings, inciting betrayal, despair and suspicion. |

| I don't think this series is going to be particularly well received for a number of reasons. Mostly, you're going to have a bunch of people knock it just because it's a light novel adaptation (regardless of whether or not they have read the series or any other light novel) because it's like the cool thing to do. Also, I just can't see this making a good anime, I don't really know why I think this but between characters nyaning constantly and characters spending a lot of time discussing stuff rather than killing each other I think people won't enjoy it. But at any rate I am excited because the forums will probably be a good laugh since I've already read the novels. *Spoiler* Nashetania is a carrot thief. P.S I suppose you could compare it to Reservoir Dogs but I wouldn't do that. The tone, characters and settings are all too far apart so you should probably just take it as its own thing. |
| Now being incompetent – that’s what’s best, really. To be completely obtuse. To be so oblivious as to never think for a second about one’s purpose in life, to never think about the meaning of life, to never think about the value of life. Then this world would be paradise. Calm, peaceful, and serene. Trivial things would be major, and major things trivial, and life could be lived to its fullest. |
| Most of the reactions from the LN readers at the anime announcements both on English and Japanese boards are the same, saying that this won't be properly adaptable in anime. Well, it's a tradition in the royal family to have animal ears/horns on the helm, like goldof who's a royal soldier has horns on his helm as well. Before reading I though that Nashetania was actually a rabbit girl like KuroUsagi from Mondaiji series x). Still wondering why cow ears for Rolonia though. Although that's kind of fitting her placid personality, she isn't related in any way with the royal family of that country. I haven't seen reservoir dogs then, so cannot tell. Although the movie seems quite interesting~ BTW, the mistake I pointed out earlier in the news is still not corrected~ |
