Are they really that desperate for more money? Whatever happened to plot, characters, artistic value... Pure Fanservice is an atrocity -.-

Do..do you even know anything about this series at all? Cause I'm really thinking you don't. "Whatever happened to the plot, characters, artistic value"? This show is very plot heavy, there are many characters all of which have their own personalities and uniqueness, and the artistic value is great too. So...nothing at all happened to those things except that they stayed consistently great throughout the entire series so far?
What part of this is such "Pure Fanservice" that its "an atrocity"? Everything is being adapted from VN source material, the only thing you could argue is "pure fanservice" is how the movie is going to be a brand new story and that the 5 (now 6) part OVA is just a fun side story (which is why its an optional OVA in the first place).

I'm personally damn happy about this :)
I expected Reimeiroku to be animated, but not this quick! To those who don't know, this is pre-Chizuru & thus a prequel.
Of course they're gonna make the Kazama OVA...I mean, how could they not xD
I do, however, wonder what the movies will be about though. alternate routes? recaps?

A third season... really? I didn't think the second season was very good so I don't think I'll watch it. But then who knows, maybe it'll be better this time. Although I doubt it.

While I'm happy Hakuouki is getting a 3rd season, I can't say the same about the 2 movies coming out next year.

They say all new story, but that doesn't tell me anything.

I dunno if there is anyone who is gonna read this seeing that it's on the 4th page but I think what they are trying to accomplish is to make series/animations for each of the game's path. If you play the game - you'll know what I mean.

As for the movie - I dunno what to say about that...

Wow. Why do a lot of people hate Hakuouki? It's actually pretty good. Though I do understand why males wouldn't want this, well since this is an adaptation of an "otome" game.

I'm excited for the Reimeiroku. At least this'll give us idea about pre-shinsengumi days.

Normally I love anime that are adaptations of otome games, but I just couldn't get into Hakuouki. I liked the first season well enough, but I didn't like the direction they chose to take in the second season. Although I've never played the game before so I don't know if it has less depressing endings or not... I mostly didn't really like it because I didn't feel there was any chemistry between Chizuru and Hijikata, which made the show kind of boring for me.

Sheesh, all you harem/loli/ecchi people in this thread, GIVE IT A FREAKING REST ALREADY!

You're all just complaining cuz this is an anime for fujoshi! for bishie loving fujoshi! half of you wouldn't have used the words you did if had watched it and weren't so freakin close minded.

I'm blind? Really? I'm blind you say? Did you see how the hakuouki franchise sells? please take a look and come back to see if they're MILKING the series.

It just irks me that just cuz some of you are guys who want more loli/ecchi or girls who wanted BL you just downright bash the game and the anime!

GIVE US FUJOSHI A BREAK ALREADY! We barely get any bishie romance animes as it is, and you guys get your ecchi porn MORE than we EVER will.

Also, to come to the point, OTOME ANIME DOES SELL! Starry Sky, Hakuouki, Uta Pri(which is ALSO getting a second season by the way...complain all you like you berks...we bishie romance fujoshi are gonna enjoy our animes)

Ok, you're guys, I GET IT! But that doesn't give you the right to bash the game like this.

bash me all you like, I'm sure at least one or two souls agree with me.

And to those who say better things could be animated, tell me, have you seen the spring line up? so many are ecchi/moe animes. only ONE otome game adaptation. go complain to the ecchi section instead of here. we took one spot. the guys got kore wa zombie desu ka, sankarea, medaka box and there are more. yes, there are other anime as well but nowadays even worthwhile shoujo or even shonen don't get animated.

tough world yea.

This. You know, I'm also getting upset over the fact that people just reject games/stories aimed for girls just because they think it is fujoshi material.
Girls watch shonen, play games oriented for guys and nothing happens (anyway, these industries nearly always are aimed at guys). I read a lot of shojo and josei, but I love reading shonen and seinen too.
But if a guy sees a shojo or an otome game then he immediately bashes it because he is afraid of becoming gay or that the story will make him puke rainbows.
Which it is a shame because many stories like Hakuoki, although they are supposed to be romance stories, romance is actually something secondary and what is first is the plot. This doesn't mean that all shojos are good, there ones with terrible stories and with terrible main character.

I know that I am generalizing a lot, because I also know guys who enjoy romance (guys also fall in love so I don't get this phobia for love stories), others who hate harem/ecchi anime... And there's also girls who don't like this sort of anime, ones who can't stand yaoi or shonen-ai and girls who watch anime just for the sake of seeing bishonen without caring about the actual plot.

The thing about Hakuoki is that, for example, in the anime we didn't get any romance at all until the last 2 episodes. It was mainly a historical anime with a couple supernatural elements. Thanks to the anime (and the game) I have learned a lot about the Shinsengumi and that period. People will criticize me for this comparison, but the themes were almost the same as Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal (tragedy, some part of history, little bit of romance). So if you complain about Hakuoki, don't complain because it is for fujoshis with no plot at all. Maybe it focused a lot more on the historical facts that in the action so people may find it boring. Or that Chizuru was a very bad female lead because she didn't do anything at all. Those are excuses that I understand.

Finally, I'm going to put this in capital letters so people have more chances of reading this:
HAKUOKI REIMEIROKU IS A PREQUEL NOT A CONTINUATION, AND THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A GUY (who is awesome, by the way).
And in my opinion, Hakuoki Reimeiroku is waaaay better than Hakuoki (I love Hakuoki) because there is more character development, more blood, more action and the main character is awesome, as I said before.

@phoenixalia: We're not bashing it for being an otome game (when did anyone ever say that?). We're bashing it because we all know DEEN is gonna cook up something shitty. They KNOW otome game material sells, which is why they're continuing the series. At the same time, though, their adaptations are pretty abysmal; boring would be a pretty good word for their works.

Hell, I'm a girl, and I've played otome stuff before and was OK with it, but man are their otome VN adaptations boring as fuck. I may not be speaking for all the people who dislike DEEN's adaptations, but I seriously think that's why people find their stuff so unenjoyable. That and mediocre production values and lack of creativity on their part.

I liked the first season, but HATED the 2nd season because everyone died because of one useless girl..

So how the hell is the 3rd season gonna play if everyone is dead?! X_____X

WHATS MORE TO ADD TO THE STORY?!?!?!?!?


Third season is Reimeiroku. It's supposed to the prequel of the first season and the main character is a guy.


So no more Chizuru?


i think chizuru will act as a minor character because in the game she appears at the end of every route.

i'm with you!~ I totally agree on your statements~
animes with bishies as the main selling point are very rare compared to those ecchi animes which are abundant every anime season... It also irkes me that guys who likes ecchi utterly bash fangirls who love bishies and BL. I love bishies and BL and while I don't prefer super ecchi and yuri animes, I am mature enough not to bash them because people have different tastes.

I guess I'll watch it now then if it is not going to be a sequel.

Still need to get that game Aksys released this month.

I'm probably the only one who like Chizu-chan and ship her with almost everyone.


Haha I totally ship Chizuru with all the guys - they're all just too awesome haha XD

Haven't decided if I'm going to watch the prequel yet... if I do it'll probably be just because of the guys haha XD

Gotta admit, Otomate/Idea Factory is trying to milk Hakuouki a little too much > o> I love the game, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's just best to let a series come to a stop and leave room for imagination. Not to mention how difficult they made that in the anime. They could have at least stuck to Hijikata's route more faithfully or stray from the game endings completely like UtaPri did.

Hakuouki should have ended at its peak. Like, that new game coming out this month? How can you have Hakuouki without Kazuki Yone? The new art style made me want to cry OTL It just doesn't have that same Hakuouki feel anymore. I mean sure, it's an action game but it's so weird seeing the sprites in the new art style orz
(http://www.otomate.jp/hakuoki_musouroku/ site for those who haven't seen it yet).

I'm a little more curious about the movies though. I suppose it's time to dig around in some Japanese sources :u

In the anime after Shinpachi met Chizuru and Hijikata for the last time we don't know nothing more about him. Based on real facts, Shinpachi and Saito were the ones who survived (although Saito was considered dead a couple of times but then reappeared alive and with a new identity).
Both of them died in 1915, Shinpachi was 66 and Saito was 71 years old.
Since their deaths weren't shown I assume their fate was the same as the real ones.

Wow. This is quite a surprise.
I just picked up the game a bit ago and though I wasn't a big fan of the route they decided to go with for the anime (especially finding that all the other route endings were so much more satisfying for me personally).

I couldn't help but fall in love with all the characters again and wouldn't mind seeing them again in another season.

@CarmillaPL: I think in the anime(/Toshi's in-game route--which is what the anime is based off of the most) Saito is hinted to have died when he stayed behind to 'stall the enemy'.
In the game, we never hear about Shinpachi again after he left.....so it's unknown what his fate is....I don't remember if it was different in the anime for him though...

chill yo, No one's complaining about Your bishies, and what's there to complain about? it's nothing too extreme, just some wimpy girl surrounded by good looking guys and we totally understand that girls would be into that, on a side note, ecchi sells well because well...for obvious reasons lol, and comparing bishie stuff to harem/loli/ecchi is like comparing fermented beans to fried chicken and bacon strips.
anyway, no need to get all upset, people ain't complaining because of the bishies (unless it's taken too far LOL) so relax foo.

chill yo, No one's complaining about Your bishies, and what's there to complain about? it's nothing too extreme, just some wimpy girl surrounded by good looking guys and we totally understand that girls would be into that, on a side note, ecchi sells well because well...for obvious reasons lol, and comparing bishie stuff to harem/loli/ecchi is like comparing fermented beans to fried chicken and bacon strips.
anyway, no need to get all upset, people ain't complaining because of the bishies (unless it's taken too far LOL) so relax foo.


I wasn't comparing the two. I was saying that girls hardly get bishounen romance anime and wasn't comparing the sales....I was comparing HOW MANY ecchi/harem anime there are compared to bishie romance anime now.

A prequel and 2 movies? I can die happy!
Won't argue saying that those 2 seasons were so so but I like characters a lot! It is probably the first time I'm watching series for characters and not story =D

I really hope that movies won't be recaps but different story routes. I'll be happy to see any route though Okita's takes priority^^

. That broke my heart.


I hope they don't either, but Shinsengumi Kitan and Hekketsuroku were both depicting the rise and fall of the Shinsengumi, so it was more realistic. Except for the fact, well, that almost all of the Shinsengumi were Oni.

Actually, if you would care about history and dig a little you would all see how close this anime is to reality... in EVERY freaking detail, from Harada's scar to the left hand of Saitou, to the way they died... it is a heck of a fabulous anime adaptation for both the game and the historical facts. Not to mention the characters... as deep and complex as it can get considering they were real people who accomplished some hell lot of things. OFC, the fact that everything was, except the vampire/demon stuff, was real, combined with the extremely good boshie looks would kill any girl but I don't see how that is in any way a bad thing. It is a great show, it is worth watching even only for the historical references

I am sooo looking forward to watching this and I hope we will get more of Hakuouki in the future.

Does anyone know what the movies will be about?

Will they animate a different game route or what?


And in all honesty I don't get why so many people hate the show. It might have bishounen characters but it is not yaoi. Not a single scene ever suggested it. Seriously, how many anime do you get like this? I already lost count of how many series are there where girls' breasts are of a size of a mellon and we get 1000 of ridiculous panty shots. Why don't you complain about those dumb shows? They have no real purpose except producing fan service.

While here all fan service is just in great art, nothing more. We actually have a story here which for most part is accurate with real life. And since they did die for real, obviously they will die in anime too.

The only complain I have for the show is lack of action, otherwise I see no faults. It has emotions and deep characters with problems. Not some pervy guy who happens to live with the over sized breasted girl and we get to see her and others naked for biggest part of the show with no real story and purpose. Nor is it knowledgeable nor is it fun after watching it more than 3 times unless your life is that sad you can't see all of that fan service in real life -_-

One thing that bugged me is that Chizuru kept telling facts like if we are having a history lesson instead of showing things. It is good to know date but sometimes it gets a bit tiresome and breaks the story flow. The prequel has improved that problem.

I know everyone dies, but didn't Harada and Saito actually survive in reality?
