Kadokawa Shoten has launched an official website for new anime "Red Data Girl" on July 22nd. The production studio is P.A. Works and the original character designer is Kishida Mel.

Red Data Girl anime official website

Judging from the novel author's comment, it will be a TV anime.

See the previous topic for the synopsis: Fantasy Novel 'Red Data Girl' To Be Animated (Dec 2011)

RDG: Red Data Girl on MAL

Watching.

Sounds good, I'm interested.

PA Works and Kishida Mel must have a good relationship, since this is the 2nd anime they've worked on together (the first being Hanasaku Iroha)

Nice, quite interested.

...Maybe. Cautiously interested, and extra cautious if it's a romance, as the only PA Works romance title I particularly enjoy is Angel Beats!, and romance was only one element among many in that show.

But Kishida Mel is always amazing.

Will watch because of PA Works. I hope the production quality will be better than that of Tari Tari.

No Mari Okada plz No Mari Okada plz no Mari Okada plz.

Otherwise, PA Works = watching. Though I do worry because this is yet ANOTHER slice of life by them. They getting pigeonholed like Kyoani now or something?

Well they tried something different with Another, and it bombed... so can you really blame them? People want slice of life and cute girls from them.

PA Works is impressing me with Tari Tari right now so I look foward to this anime.

Looks interesting. Will give it a try.

True, but I found Canaan decent (come at me bro Typemoon fans! :p) and I actually liked Another until it decided to derail in its final 2 eps. And the Professor Layton movie was plain decent family movie. The only thing I did not like by them was Angel Beats, which was a piece of turd that didn't know what it wanted to be. Guess the majority of the audience doesn't share that sentiment :(.

But it's still relatively ok with me since I loved True Tears (my avatar should make that obvious), Hanasaku Iroha despite it's problems was much better than your average "cute girls doing cute things" type of show and Tari Tari so far is great (credit to No Mari Okada derailing it to stupid bondage crap or omlette rice drama).

Though by far their best contribution was when they co-produced Seirei No Moribito with Production IG back in 2006...
Too bad the commercial viabilitiy of producing something like that in the current environment is close to 0%.

Sadly this will probably end up being mediocre or worse, just like everything PA Works has produced.

It's a shame that one of the most disappointing studios has some of the best art.

Dropped.

P.A. Works? I'm in.

So watching this.

The synopsis sounds good and I'm digging the character design so why not?

It averaged 1,997/disc, which is a clear bomb, so does that mean it was 0% back then too?

Saw the art.
Watching.

I doubt that this will be a slice-of-life series since the premise hints more at fantasy.
