J.C Staff will be producing the second anime, which will be fantasy-themed. The applications for the second anime will be accepted beginning next April.

| So 3 new anime which will be made under different studio? |
| holy shit this looks like amazing news |
| Looks good Waiting for more informations |
 |
| It sounds pretty promising, but I'm confused by the choice of studios and the timing of the project. I hope that it will be something really coolest, and not just another generic romance or a fan service with girls of questionable orientation. |
 |
| Anima? Like one of the RWBY continent of the Mistral Kingdom? |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| I'm not surprised by the genre choices of the studios listed so far. If I had to guess, Doga Kobo will take on a slice of life show. This could be a big thing in the future but we'll have to wait and see. 2020 is still a bit far away. |
 |
| Original anime is worth a shot. |
 |
| Yeah im not putting too much faith into these projects, but we need as many original's as we can get so its worth a shot. There are things you can only do with an anime original and how the structure of the story is handled that you simply dont have the freedom to do with an adaption. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Very nice PROJECT ANIMU is coming to life. Hope the originals they come up with won't be another traveling to game world but only as a tree this time. |
 |
| So the fans decide the story, maybe I'll send a google translated script. |
 |
| (warning unserious comment) They stole my precious name grr D: QQ |
| That's pretty interesting tbh |
 |
| I don't get it. If these 3 anime are different in genre and studios, then why announce it together as a collaboration project? It'd also be fan-written so I don't think that these 3 anime will be connected to each other. So isn't this is technically a separate project from each companies with different studios and stories? |
 |
| Woah, interesting concept; picking genre first then accepting idea submissions. I hope this project goes through to the end! |
| Satelight and Sci-Fi. Definitely looking forward to that. And it's pretty much a given that Kawamori will be supervising the project one way or another. J.C. Staff and Fantasy go hand in hand, so I'll be looking forward to that as well. Doga Kobo seems to be the wildcard, but they do a bit of slice of life.... Wait... J.C. Staff = Fantasy = Past Doga Kobo = Slice of Life = Present? Satelight = Sci-Fi = Future 2020 isn't actually that far off, so whatever ideas they have, they better get on to it fast. |
