STILL NO DENGEKI DAISY HMM?

*sulks* But w/e I'll watch them and hope for Daisy to get animated itself soon.

phoenixalia said:


as much as I hate to say this, Daisy has only very recently started to sell...'ok standards' in japan. if it can keep that up, MAYBE we'll get a dengeki daisy adaptation, but right now, daisy is not popular in japan. IKR? WHY?

Naruleach said:
Wow! I like these manga but I'm pretty sure these adaptation are probably not going to be so good... You never know though. Maybe we'll get another Kimi ni Todoke.

KayChan4U said:


It's so amazing and has a super good rating on here so I don't understand it either :c

Then again..and I can't find the source or even remember where it was I saw it, but the author of Daisy said she had some sort of announcement she was going to make sometime soon...so here's hoping.

what ISN'T generic these days? Every story we get now has been done before. This applies to both shounen AND shoujo AND seinen. How many onii-chan anime/manga have we seen? Hmm? And how can you judge it without reading it?

Execution > novelty. A premise that has been seen 200 times can still be fresh and exciting if well-written and properly executed, while even a truly unique work can be uninteresting and tiresome if poorly written and executed.

lordzeru said:


At least some other stories will throw something unique into their little mixture to give the subject matter a unique twist. It doesn't appear they tried there in the synopsis itself. And I wasn't judging, I never stated it WAS generic, I said it seemed generic. I only have what the synopsis gives me, which isn't much.



Right, but if the premise itself isn't promising or doesn't even have much a pull to it, then it won't get the respect it deserves. I don't read manga that much, I don't get the enjoyment others get out of it. Will I watch these anime? Probably, when they roll around eventually. So I'll only be able to judge these adaptions and get that take on the story.

this is just an eg: how would you feel if moe anime are never made again?

AMEN to that! Dengeki Daisy would be an awesome anime, as long as they stayed with the original story.

If Dengeki Daisy got an anime adaptation, I could die happy. That's probably the manga that I want to see animated the most right now. It's one of my faves!

Yuumihara said:
Argh...
Really ? from all the shoujo manga out there they decided to animate this two?


It's not only the sypnosis and Sukitte Ii na yo shitty too.

ichiro-san said:


Agreed! I'm excited to hear about Sukitte Ii Na Yo, but a good Dengeki Daisy anime adaptation pretty much beats anything.

MM-Rosiie said:
I'm fine with reading shoujo, but I'm not too fond of watching it for some reason. So I will probably skip out on both. Might read Tonari no Kaibutsukun though.

nerdsonfire1 said:
I'm really surprised to hear about 'Sukitte Ii na yo' being animated since there are so many perverted scenes... wonder if those will be edited out? I ended up dropping the series because I don't like smut and the characters were not interesting to me.

There are so many great shojo titles out there (Shinobi Life anyone? This would make a GREAT anime that guys would probably watch too). So I'm really disappointed to hear about 'Sukitte Il na yo' getting an adaptation.

I will read some of 'Tonari no Kaibutsukun' though... and if I like it, I will watch the anime.

phoenixalia said:


again, about Shinobi Life, which I also LOVE more than Tonari and Suki, it sold mediocre in Japan...yea. Mangas like Barajou no kiss, Dengeki Daisy, Shinobi Life, Arisa....they are not popular in Japan. Ikr? WHY?

R1seAgainst said:
I just hate these kind of shoujo, there are a lot better out there =/
O well

Shinigami_Nana said:
AWESOME. One of my favorite manga to be animated... made my whole day . ^^
but i wonder why these two? Cause , i mean there are alot more popular shoujo manga, like Strobe edge, Dengeki daisy.
Still, happy. ~.~

deathxempress said:
I am glad that more shoujo manga are getting animated, but why only OVA? Either way, I was expecting Strobe Edge to get animated because I assume it is quite popular.

Also... They should decide to animate non-school shoujo as well. Like, shoujo with fantasy/supernatural, they are very few.

Arisa would be interesting now. Also Silver Diamond deserves an anime adaption.

phoenixalia said:


The thing is Supernatural Shoujo manga , again, don't sell well in japan. you're probably thinking, 'what's wrong with japanese girls?'. XD in fact, Asuka, which has only supernatural shoujo is one of the shoujo magazines with the lowest circulation.
yet so many of the shoujo in that magazine(barajou, psychic detective yakumo, saiunkoku)

I do not get why only school life shoujo romance sells in Japan. :/

EDIT: So these two are OVAs....sigh, I knew it was too good to be true. Once again, no TV ANIME. WHY JAPAN WHY?

so, girls, ladies, we have to hurry up and buy those OVAs for more shoujo to be animated!

Katapan said:
Where are you people getting the idea that they're OVAs from? The sources I've read mention a "fall broadcast", thus heavily implying that they're TV series even though there's no clear "TV anime" mention yet in the magazine.

I'll let the MAL team update the staff list whenever they can, but I am highly excited for Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun now that Kaburaki Hiro & Brain's Base have been confirmed.
