Now we just need to add some KamiHiro and maybe HanaKana into the cast and we're ready to go :P. I want to see:

Eguchi Takuya as Shintaro
Kamiya Hiroshi as Kano
Sawashiro Miyuki as Kido
Hanazawa Kana as Mary.

Just a hunch but I think at least one seiyuu from the above will be in the cast.


From what I remember, in the crossfade for the MekakuCity Records album Ene and Mary had voiced parts. The video description has Kana Asumi for Ene and Kana Hanazawa for Mary so they will most likely be the seiyuu for those two.


Maybe Shaft can make something 'watchable' out of this but I dropped the manga after 7 chapters. At first I though premise is not that bad, but later turned out neither characters nor story could keep me interested enough to even skim over next chapter. It just makes you think why even bother making series like that...


The heart of KagePro lies in the songs, where they reveal the backstory of basically every character in the series. Having well-made PVs also contributed to it being so popular.

After watching "Heat haze days" I remember thinking "wow it would be great if this got an OVA" and now almost year later it's getting a TV series by Shaft. This is truly a miracle.


It's not actually just Heat-haze Days, it's the entire KagePro series. You should listen to the rest of the songs if you haven't already, they're really good.

I have, its just Heat haze days was the first one I watched.


Ah, I see. Same here actually. XD That's how I got into it.

But I wonder will it be a adaptation of the songs, the LN, or the manga which takes place after the events in most the songs.


I'm guessing it's a combination of the songs and the LN or manga? Because the songs are obviously a major part f the plot, so they can't ignore that.

I definitely see this happening. I really want to see an animated Kano~

Yeah the whole thing is a mixed media project after all.

I'm so happy that Shaft is animating Kagerou Project. I feel that Shaft are the only ones that can animate Kagerou Project properly while keeping the same feeling from the songs intact.

Now I just wonder who Hiroshi Kamiya is voicing>>

Vocaloid is popular, only problem is that there hasn't been a true Vocaloid anime with Miku, Luka, etc.

At probably because they are too afraid to depict Miku.

Or that theres no plot.

I find animating this series challenging, imo because they have to link everything from the songs to the novels
But still can't wait for this! YES KAGEPRO! ENEE!!!

This

Because it actually has an interesting and dark plot and characters, the songs are good and its popular enough to make it animated. The only thing that connects this to Vocaloid is that Jin uses IA or sometimes Miku to sing the vocals.

The manga is a bit slow and hasn't covered the interesting parts yet, so I think it's better if the anime covers the novels or tries to follow the plot in its own style. It also depends if it's going to be 1 or 2-cour TV series, one or more OVAs or a movie.

They could release a CD with the seiyuus covering their characters' songs and everyone singing Children Record for example.

This the crossfade of the last album with Kana Asumi as Ene voicing the first half and Kana Hanazawa as Mary narrating the second half

No, it's not about Vocaloids. The Vocaloids are only doing the singing, the characters in the PVs, manga, and LN don't have anything to do with Vocaloids.

And yes, it has a plot. (I don't understand where your question comes from considering that there are a lot of Vocaloid songs with plot...)

Why not? Jin is currently the most popular vocaloid producer in Nico Nico, his songs dominate the weekly rankings, he's a first vocaloid producer to have a solo album debut in #1 at Oricon....... better question would be why stuff like this doesn't get animated more.

UnbornMVs said:
Still. Imo I would prefer more anime like Shingeki no Kyojin to come out , the epicness in this industry lowered considerably in the last years.


Then you should check out the KagePro anime, because it's going to be a lot darker and more original than what you'll expect.

Love Shaft and really hyped to see this animated by them, but still have the problem on how long Shaft takes to announce release dates, making my head hurt with anticipation! >.<

I hope they aired 'that' part on August 14. The
( this time literally) endless loop

First discovered this in December while lurking through IA songs. Last year Mary is the only one comes into my mind. But as I look deeper : Momo, Hibiya, Ayano

Okay, who do you think mostly suitable for Ayano? She is not exactly deredere but I can't quite get a grasp on who I should hope to voiced her.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.
