is that...shoujo? that art style is so shoujo-ish. it HAS to be shoujo.
wow...studios are still making shoujo anime after the shoujo sales disasters? Not to mention, Hiiro no Kakera, Arcana sold poorly...or Amnesia for that matter. It looks like it's gonna get bad sales as well.
Man, people are still willing to risk it eh?
Well as a big shoujo fan, I'm glad and I commend this studio for this.
hmm...the studio looks like one which does short anime.
Is this a short as well? No way...the art looks too detailed for that.
is this an original anime?
So many questions...

Mmm.. I don't like historical animes, but I must be shallow enough to say that I liked one of the guys' characters so I'll watch.

You know, alot of crap sells poorly and they still somehow animate it, i don't see why they shouldn't do the same with Shoujo, and trust me, the anime and manga industry are shit without shoujo, i'm just glad they are animating it to balance the weird crap they animate each season.

Sounds interesting. I don't mind watching historical anime, whether it is shoujo or shounen, as long as it is done good. But with this little synopsis, sounds like shounen... or seinen.

I seen this and for some reason thought the game series Suikoden. I'm kind of disappointed it's not but this does look interesting regardless.

I love historical anime/manga! With girls, I bet there's romance too, gang fights with bishounen and bishoujo? I bet the girl is the daughter of the "okashira" XD

I was under the impression that the studio making this anime is a small studio...could that be the reason?

I suspect so, too. It seems a certain local town leads the anime to draw attention from tourists. We will see.

I heard that the anime's novel was inspired from Chinese famous novel Shuihu Zhuan (Water Margin). I'm even more interested now.

According to the Facebook page, this series already start airing today on 7:00 a.m JST on Chiba TV channel.

I wonder if this is true, that was about 14 hours ago but the raw is still nowhere to be found.

Edit:
The official site it is also aired at the same time on tvk and teletama channel.

I guess most people missed it since it was aired (more like included) in a show which is called ハピはぴモーニング (Happy Happy Morning) which also features weather forecast, traffic report, daily horoscope and Chiba tour guide.

Based on that and the studio previous works (Litchi de Hikari Club and Ganbare! Oden-kun) I guess this series is most likely also a 3 minute anime (assuming this series is really an anime).

Perhaps no one bothered? It's aired in Chiba but I do not see it has a Tokyo broadcast schedule. The anime looks really obscure.
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.

I love the games, which are based on the same classic story. Art looks good, if that's the main characters he doesn't look like the sissy type.

Episode 2 is out. Maybe they're gonna post new episode on YouTube every week aside from TV airing since most people probably missed it because it airs on weird timeslot and because this series is really short (about 1:40 for each episode).

I wonder how many episodes this series going to be, considering there is only about 1 minute of content aside OP and ED.

"ADABANA" by Naoki Sagawa featuring JOE (Psychic Lover) (狭川尚紀 featuring JOE(サイキックラバー)) is the theme song (airing on both OP and ED, so I'm not sure where to submit the theme song).

It's not even 2 minutes long? Aww and I was interested in this too.


This is a no for me then. I'm just trying to stay away from short series as much as possible.

It seems it is only 5 episodes, I don't understand what's this series is even about and why they made it in the first place.
