Synopsis doesn't really interest me much.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I can buy the ghost thing, but the beautiful female NEET is kinda unrealistic.
I probably regret this post by now.

D'aww that sounds like a sweet story. Let's take a look at the studio... well, it was cute while it lasted.

Hmm, another A1 Pictures. Guess this might sound neat and I kinda like the premise. Guess the first episode will decide if I'll follow it all the way through.

In modern Japan not quite, a beautiful NEET in Japan can exist, highly uncommon and close to rare though.

Fuck new noitaminA.

Ok, benefit of the doubt since it won an award. Nothing I would put on (old) noitaminA, though.


Mod Edit: unnecessary provocation removed.

The art actually doesn't look generic and the synopsis is mildly interesting. But the protagonist's design is so generic ugh. Hmmm...

Question: Is this harem?

Yes! Looking forward to it!
Whenever I checked Famitsu's LN website it was often highlighted, and girls with weapons tend to please me.

But it can also means: Baka and Test season 3 and B.A.D. anime never.

It seems Enterbrain was quick to remove the video from youtube.

There has to be a good reason why they chose this premise for another Noitamina show. This sounds silly: ghostly romance, school club, ghost of neet girl. And the staff is 50/50. The director and writer both did good series and not so good ones. Still since it's Noitamina, I'm in, but it looks like the producers of slot are stuck in quite a dire situation. And i am not going to trust on A-1 Pictures for this one after Galilei Donna (i wouldn't call it that bad, but i am hating this series for wasting good ideas with that script). Going to wait for spring to find out if the creators are going in the wrong direction

More ghost stories on Noitamina it seems, after AnoHana and Natsuyuki Rendezvous. While the artwork looks neat, not sure if I am going to watch. Noitamina's shows have disappointed me, especially lately.

NoitaminA died in 2011. Watch Nodame, Tatami Galaxy, House of Five Leaves, Honey & Clover, etc. to see old and good noitamiNA because the current way of the slot is unbearable. It turned out to be exactly the same thing it didn't want to be: Pandering to the usual audiences with stories about NEETs, loser highschoolers and random tropes.

Also: Don't forget to thank the (Japanese) people who liked BRS, Guilty Crown and Robotics;Notes for ruining a once promising slot.

But nobody likes those shows. Stop lying and spreading your prejudices. Few guys at the top of noitaminA ruined it by changing its direction, not the nation.
Sure, GC might have theoretically sold pretty well but compared to expectations, it was a total flop. "New Evangelion" my ass, only music and Inori's design are remembered nowadays. R;N didn't get much attention period. BRS had loads of flaws and was basically an ad for figures. Don't blame (some of) BRS fans for buying BRS anime and especially for ruining whole noitaminA. You're generalizing, twisting the truth and selling your delusions as facts too much.

Could you be implying that a certain industry-saving anime by Our Saviour Yamakan killed it?

Is that kind of contest where an author submit it to the publishing company to be judged. While I'm not sure, mostly of the jury compromise of the publisher executives. I reckon that every LN publisher does that, searching for the "next big thing"

Award-winning novels works usually get published with a lot of advertisement.
Sometimes they become popular and become long running, sometimes they finish early, but the author might get a second chance..
If they are good or not, that's up to the reader to decide, but I understand they often have "original" plotlines.

Hope this helps.

It's not an "Honarable mention", but a grand price (biggest in the section).

Officials wouldn't change the direction if there wasn't a bigger demand for the new series. These are business decisions which were made after looking at supply & demand, trends, costumer groups, etc. And apparently the decision was: Anime that tries to attract new groups/be different is not as desired as the same stuff people keep airing and demanding on the other slots over and over again. I assume that BRS had other priorities than selling BDs/DVDs (merch, for example); maybe this was also the case for R;N.
