| According to Shogakukan, Kuroi Ransuke's novel "savannaGAME" was announced to get a TV anime adaptation. It will be aired in 2012. Synopsis: Shibuya Kazuya is a 24-year-old man and has been living a dull life as a part time worker. One day, he receives a strange e-mail, which invites him to a killing game approved by the government. The surviver will win ten billion yen. Kazuya decides to join the game with his friends Jin and Mafumi, but the game turns out to be far more insane than he expected. Source: Shogakukan |

| MC is not a high school student? I'm in. |
 |
| As long as they don't change the main character into a high school student, I'll give it a shot. |
 |
| I wonder why something tells me it's gonna be some kind of a short-episode flash animated series?... |
| Survival game. Not schoolboy protag. Count me in |
 |
| The synopsis sounds good. Gonna watch! |
dtshyk said: Kazuya decides to join the game with his friends Jin and Mafumi Is he retarded? |
| ^ I was thinking the same, but I'm going to watch this, I've always loves survival games. |
| It definitely sounds like something I would like. |
| Finally not a highschool student ._. Will watch. |

| An adult! Woot!? Nah, just kidding. This is actually interesting. |
| Kind of interesting. It's kind of like Togainu no Chi and Bus Gamer put together. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| While having a non-schoolboy MC is a big plus, I'm afraid this anime will have this list of things that I dislike (which can be easily encountered from this genre): 1. Characters with "weak" character design/characterization/development 2. Unneeded/ bad gore 3. Weak attachment to viewers 4. Weak plot, just an ordinary killingfest. If this anime escaped this, I will be sooooo happy <3 |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Zawa... Zawa... I will check it out at the very least when it airs. Hopefully they can stay away from using too generic character designs. They don't have to be like Fukumotos, just more realistic and grittier than bishie designs. |

| If you read the rest of the summary on Anime News Network, it gets even funkier... "Shibuya and his two friends Kotegawa and Kudō find themselves in bizarre battles that span the space-time continuum, with everything from dragons to the Shinsengumi force of the shogunate era." |
| another survival game but was expecting a high school boy i guess not but i'm in |
| It's interesting news ^__^ I would like to watch this )) |
 |
| Not a regular high school student? Count me in. |
| He might be an adult but I bet he's still an average schoolboy at heart. I'm expecting nothing out of the ordinary. |
| Ok™ |
| I will have to give it a try |

| may watch. gotta keep my eye on this. |
 |
| Doesn't sound bad at all. I'll just hope that he isn't a pussy as the main guy from 'mirai nikki' |
| The fact that it's not gonna be some wishy washy highschool student makes me happy. And the fact that he and his friends are gonna be trapped in some space-time continuum makes me happier. I just hope they'll be able to incorporate the fantasy elements without messing up. |
| Oh, hai thar Hunger Games/Battle Royale/a shit ton of other stories. zewho said: "Shibuya and his two friends Kotegawa and Kudō find themselves in bizarre battles that span the space-time continuum, with everything from dragons to the Shinsengumi force of the shogunate era." wait whut |
Araya said: I just about to say the same thing.dtshyk said: Kazuya decides to join the game with his friends Jin and Mafumi Is he retarded? |
| Just once, I'd like to see one of these survival games recruit people who are actually skilled at it. |
| Well, it sounds pretty fun to watch, count me in. Oh, I've just noticed that the main protagonist of Ghost hunt anime has the same name! Is this novel popular and that was the reason for choosing the same alias (Shibuya Kazuya) or is it just a coincidence? Just wondering:) |
| An anime with an ADULT? Who woulda guessed O_o! Anyways I will be watching this. I'm a sucker for survival game series. |
| Hey, I ain't complaining. I LOVE survival series. I'm still hoping for a Battle Royale or Alive anime. |
| I love survival games, i really hope this one doesn't disappoint.. |
| The Hunger Games much? |

I love dragons and the Shinsengumi will check it out for that, but I thought it was going to be similar to Togainu no Chi and Mirai Nikki where everyone is just thrown into one big huge place and left to fend for themselves and aim to be the last one standing in the entire place/city/wherever. |

| Joining survival games with your friends = #1 logic. |
 |
| Sounds good. Can't wait for it to air. |
| Hmm.. what comes to mind for me is why would the gov. approve this? Also, inviting friends for a survival game is a fantastic logic. lol. |
