| 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. |
| has romance? sounds about right, better be good |

| Another series with WWII weaponry, specifically the Imperial Airforce, besides that Studio Ghibli's movie. I will check this out |
 |
| Sounds Interesting. |
 |
| If this is a TV series, it will be fantastic, like Allison & Lillia. |
| For reference, here is the PV for the light novel |

| ^ Concept art is very appealing indeed. Do we know which studio will animate this? |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

jmal said: This was maybe because my country only know Naruto and Dragon Ball so that I'm think like this.NeoAnkara said: If only Japan more open about their work and let other country enjoy their creation too. They're perfectly open to it, provided there's money in it. And by and large translated light novels sell terribly overseas. |

| I've seen the movie before and thought was pretty damn good sooooooo might also give this a shot. |

hakazee said: Precisely, in Taiwan you see many Light Noves getting official translation (into Chinese of course) and the packaging is even more luxurious than the Japanese ones, much bigger with better quality paper. The bunko size used in Japanese publication may be better suited for reading in crowded trains but the B6 size in Taiwanese publication is good for collection and reading at leisure purposes. Obviously good money can be found for LN in the Taiwan market. so it's not Japan more open about their work or not, but it's depend on your country Publisher and their market in your country. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I actually liked the movie, ignoring the bad characters. Will be watching this! |
| Toaru Hikuushi and no Tsuioku, I saw it and I liked it a lot, especially because the ending does not have the classic "happy ending"! I can not wait to be this other LN animated, the animation studio is important, but I think that even if it were the KyoAni andrebbbe me well, but I do not think so. The character design is no good being that the anime series while not sharing anything with the film, it has to link up with the brand and then the design should be similar to or the same as, at least I really hope so. |
 |
| Will check this out. |
 |
| Looks interesting~ |

| About friendship and love? It'll be good, I guess |

Hahalollawl said: Why do you say the characters have the same names? In Koiuta, the main characters are Karl'el Albers and Nina Viento/Claire Cruise whereas in Tsuikoku the main characters are Charles Karino and Fana del MoralOoh I liked the movie (it seemed to be of high quality) so I'm interested. So the plot isn't anything like the movie, but the characters have the same names? Hmmm |

| Awesome news. Loved Tsuioku movie. |
| well i did enjoy the first movie so i will expect the same thing from the new one that coming up |
symbv said: ThangLong said: As my first post said, "no more information is available yet."Do we know which studio will animate this?

Nachtwandler_21 said: Actually you are not quite right. Erm. It was animated by Madhouse. TMS were production studio not animation one. First, TMS is an animation studio not a production studio (like Aniplex). It made anime like Zetman and Cardfight Vanguard. In fact, TMS' name originally came from "Tokyo Movie", which is one predecessor of TMS, which has an illustrious history of making anime dated from the '60s and once made legendary classics like "Kyojin no Hoshi" and the very first "Lupin III" TV series as well as "Akira" later. Its involvements in any production were occasional not its main function. For the movie, it is quite a bit tricky because both Madhouse and TMS are credited as 制作, which generally means animation making, but confusingly whereas TMS is credited as 制作, Madhouse is credited as アニメーション制作. You can see it in the official website of the anime: http://www.hikuushi-tsuioku.com/staff/ And there is a separate entry for the production itself 製作 which according to the link above belongs to a special production committee (which includes TMS too but there are at least 7 other companies also involved). Now what separates 制作 and アニメーション制作 ? This is where the matter becomes vague. I have not yet found another example of an anime movie having both credits usually it is either 制作 or アニメーション制作 and it is a preference thing, but not both. I could not find any definitive explanation of how TMS and Madhouse divided their roles in the making of the anime, but I think it is safe to assume that given the tag of "Animation" in the credit Madhouse focused on the actual animation itself and TMS could be involving in broader aspects of making the movie in general, ranging from actual animation to preparing the sound/music or CG base work etc. It is hard to tell what exactly it did but its credit of "制作" (while something else is credited for 製作) means that TMS was definitely involved in making the movie itself. |

symbv said: I was responsible all the entries for the Hikuushi light novel spinoffs, so that's probably my fault. I couldn't decide on a romanization scheme for Koiuta's characters, so I put it on the backburner, thinking it might never be animated anyway. I guess I was wrong.Hahalollawl said: Hmm..
