| "Kyousou Giga", an anime project produced by Banpresto and Toei Animation, is to get a TV anime series starting this fall. The anime project started in December 2011 with one episode broadcast online. It was the director debut for Matsumoto Rie who was only 26 at the time. This was followed by a series of another 5 episodes, also broadcast online, from August to December in 2012. Over one million online views have since been registered in total for the series. The TV series will consist of 10 episodes together with 2 summary episodes and 1 special episode. The main staff from the ONA will carry on their roles. Studio: Toei Animation Original Creator: Toudou Izumi Director: Matsumoto Rie Series Composition: Toudou Izumi, Matsumoto Rie Character Design: Hayashi Yuuki The cast also remains unchanged. Koto: Kugimiya Rie Myou'e: Suzumura Kenichi Koto (Miyako-sama): Hisakawa Aya Inari: Ishida Akira Kurama: Nakahara Shigeru Yase: Kitamura Eri Doctor Shouko: Saitoh Chiwa Fushimi: Takemoto Eiji A: Hidaka Noriko Un: Shiraishi Ryouko Chief Priest of Shrine: Yao Kazuki Source: AnimeAnime, Animate TV Kyousou Giga (TV) on MAL |

| 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. |
| Oooooooh snap! This is awesome! Just when I though fall couldn't get any better we get another action anime. Can't wait to learn more about the story. |

| Guess I'll watch this since I did watch the other episodes previously. Can't wait to see a PV up. Oh and it's a Fall title, hmm.... |
 |
| FINALLY, after the amazing first ONA episode I was a bit disappointed with the 2012 follow-up ONA series. I wonder what kind of series composition is behind it though, given the two recaps and one special episode. Maybe they will incorporate the other two versions? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Sounds good, I'll look forward to it. Still need to watch the other episodes though. |
| 2 summary episodes?! |
 |
| Great news! I hope they keep the art style and make the story a little more comprehensible. Excellent that Toei will re-cast the same VAs. Wow, really good news! |
| Seems interesting. I'm going to watch the ONA to decide from there whether to watch it or not. |
| Rie Kugimiya? Uh oh. |

| I'll give this a try but I won't be watching the recaps. |

DraconisMarch said: Rie Kugimiya? Uh oh. Her roles outside of her tsundere range are just fine. I suggest you watch the first ONA, afaik Toei published it on YT for a while and it is under half an hour. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| To be honest, Kugimiya has a much larger range of voice and styles she could do. Thinking she is just one trick pony of tsundere is either ignorant or prejudiced or both. Even now she keeps surprising me with what voice she could do in anime. |

I suggest you watch the first ONA, afaik Toei published it on YT for a while and it is under half an hour. People are still worried about her being typecast, even I was worried when she was going to be the voice of Aguri/Cure Ace in Doki Doki Precure but that turned out well, it's just the typecasting has left a bad taste in the viewership. |

Hoppy said: Thing is, those who hate her tsundere voice usually don't like the tsundere type (as depicted in anime anyway) in the first place anyway, and it often blinds them to the fact that Kugyuu can do a wide range of voices -- let's fact it she did not even start her career nor make her name known by doing tsundere voice (though she indeed got her stardom break by being the tsundere symbol). You mentioned Dokidoki Precure, and here she uses a voice that I seldom if ever heard coming from Kugyuu (for Cure Ace, though for Aguri her voice is more her familiar loli voice LOL) and it is a pleasant surprise to me.People are still worried about her being typecast, even I was worried when she was going to be the voice of Aguri/Cure Ace in Doki Doki Precure but that turned out well, it's just the typecasting has left a bad taste in the viewership. |

| Aguri/Ace is a good example, but a lot of people forget her voice acting as Alphonse from FMA as well which was imho really great. |

GuiltyKing said: I think there are sufficient fresh or innovative elements in this anime for it to be called generic though. If this show is generic, then I am sure AnoHana and AB can also be called generic. Not that I am a fan of Kyousougiga but "generic" would be the last word I'd use to describe it.Another generic show added to the fall line-up. Oh how I wish for something like AnoHana or Angel Beats to pop up and make me fall in love with anime all over again. |

Why don't you try out the classics of the medium, GuiltyKing? I find it ignorant to say such a thing with so many milestones unwatched. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Looks interesting, I'll be sure to check it out (and the OVAS) |
| Awesome. I loved the ONA and I'm glad this is getting a real TV series. And next season, too! Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Awesome. I was hoping they would revisit the series again, but I wasn't expecting a TV series. Fall anime is shaping up to be awesome already. :D |

You have a Scottish dinosaur as your avatar, hence you have my attention. Name those milestones, friend. 1) It is a lindworm. 2) Let's continue on your profile comments page. Anyway, I just rewatched the long preview from 2011 and hope for an OST release as well in the near future. |

| Wow there's another thing to add to my PTW for fall. How is fall season this good? |
UtsukushiiYume said: Wow there's another thing to add to my PTW for fall. How is fall season this good? I'd say we should way until the episodes are before we judge the quality. It is true that summer and fall look better than the last two seasons, though. |

It is true that summer and fall look better than the last two seasons, though. But we already have the movie and the ONAs which were great plus its by the same staff, I'd say her hype is justified. As far as other fall shows go we got original 2 shows that are being crafted by legendary directors a and a couple of adaptations with well received source material. Not to mention dem sequels. There is also a new gundam series, and everyone loves gundam. |

| I think I should watch this. I like the visuals. |
| I never thought I'd see this happen, but I'm so happy about this. Fall's gonna be gooood. GuiltyKing said: Another generic show added to the fall line-up. Oh how I wish for something like AnoHana or Angel Beats to pop up and make me fall in love with anime all over again. Those who can, should enjoy this though. Please tell me how the series is remotely close to generic, let alone how it looks like it (since you haven't actually seen the previous entries). |
| Oh, yes. Make the episodes longer this time, though. Shuhan said: 2 summary episodes?! For 10 episodes lol |
 |

Reminds me of her recent role in Recorder to Ransoderu. XD Mod edit: merged double post |

| i think that i'm gonna pass on this one |
| OMG, i love Kyousogiga <333 |
| Wait are the summary episodes separate... I love this show, sad that it's only 10 but hey! I'm excited :D |
 |
| oh snap! kugimiya and suzumura???? awesome! |
| Looking forward to it since the OVA was pretty mysterious. |
| YESS!!! been waiting for this ;v; |
| It looks interesting. I'll be sure to check the other parts of the series. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| I didn't expect this. Hope it's more like the first OVA and not the ones from 2012. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Honestly, this is one of the best news. As if fall anime wasn't already going to be great. |
