I'll definitely look forward to the anime then. Hopefully it's well adapted. Probably because its "old" and shoujo, last interaction was with 2005 anime adaptation, 8 years ago. Manga wise, not the most popular shoujo of the moment, but, its sales are very consistent and good. And as stated above, it has constant brakes, sometimes going as far as couple years without any new chapters. Also I doubt its 70s art style gets the attention of contemporary fans, and its main audience its not the kind that will discuss about via forums on the net. I would recommend the manga, its awesome. Well the art IS the 70's STYLE if you look at previous adaptations!!! |

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. |
| Woah idk about this- Love the manga so probably will try this |
It's a 5-minute-long comedy flash anime... I will probably pass on this one. |
 |
| as a strong fan of the manga and 2005 anime i have doubts about this :/ how do they imagine to bring comedy into this beautiful and somewhat serious/deep manga? even the mangaka disapproves of it... i will watch out of loyalty to glass mask but i am very scared. |
| I feel sorry for the author. |
| Wat? Comedy? This will be as weird as the Litchi Hikari Club shorts. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

When she came to, the production had already been started. lolwut? i was briefly excited to see there was something new with the glass mask but this doesn't give me any sort of high expectations of anything good. i would have rather loved to see a second season to the 2005 adaptation. one of these days, i will get around to reading the manga though! |

Well it can work honestly, dont see the big issue, its a spin off comedy series, its not necessarily related. Its like those chibi version of some anime. PLkus it can easily pass as a stage play. But yea, again, its surprising that this got the comedy ver, it would be more normal in other kind of series, so yea, kinda strange. It would be interesting to see, we just dont need to take it seriously or see it as a profanation of the series. |

Now I'm curious to see comedy versions of Goldgo 13, LOGH and Rose of Versailles. Chibi version of LOGH, that would be interesting. |
| I haven't read the manga yet I guess I'll get to it then. Spin-off huh? I'll give it a try. |
| I prefer watching a 1 week marathon of ALL One Piece adaptations, while getting hot wax poured on my back! |

For Hokuto no Ken is not strange for that kind of series, theres already chibi ver, is way too strange for something like Glass Mask, so it would be for LOGH or Rose of Versailles, for glgo not that much, this can be seen as some form of tarnishing the reputation of venerated, beloved and classic -also extremely serious- series. I get the feeling that is the reason the mangaka is having second thoughts about letting Glass Mask being used in such a way. |

| Will watch, I am a big fan of Glass Mask. Was hoping for a second season, but it won't happen. |
| Sorry but i believe this will be a waste of time and money |
| What, why? |
 |
| lololol... i'm a big fan of glass no kamen well, i'll watch it for the lolz |
| Watched the first to episodes (RAW) and looked kinda fun. Hoping someone subs this soon. |
