Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches
| It looks like this season will be only 12 episodes. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/02/05-1/yamada-kun-and-the-seven-witches-tv-anime-confirmed-as-12-episode-series |
 |
| sigh 24 ep would of been better but guess you always can't get what you want i'm still gonna watch it though (even if rushed) thankfully there is always the manga(which first volume comes out end of march) :D |
| I was expecting +22 episodes damn. |
| lol wtf can they actually cover with 12 episodes? All my expectations for this just went out the window. At least I get to see Odagiri animated<3 |
| Well,that's disappointing. Wonder how much they'll cover with only 12 episodes. |
| Well... fuck. |
| Yeah this is not good. If they adapt it to where I THINK they will this will be rushed and things will be cut. If they don't adapt that far I dunno when they'd stop. |
| ......fuck. Really though, where in the world would 12 episodes conclude? There's no really good stopping point until way later. Oh rushed mess, please find a way to leave this series alone. Pretty please~ |

Really though, where in the world would 12 episodes conclude? There's no really good stopping point until way later. Oh rushed mess, please find a way to leave this series alone. Pretty please~ So yeah, we'll have to deal with it. |

| Lidenfilms destroys everything it touches |
| :3 |
| I cant wait :D I hope it'd be a good adaptation on par with the manga atleast. |
| 12 episodes is way too little to cover anything. :( |
 |
| Would've preferred 24 episodes so they could cover the first major arc :( |
 |
| goddamnit why not 2 cour </3 they can't adapt the first arc in 12... |

I think it should take 48 episodes in order to cover the first major arc Mathias2001 said: 48 episodes with good pacing is approximately 140-150 chapters. (for weekly shounen) 24 is ideal.Magnolia said: goddamnit why not 2 cour </3 they can't adapt the first arc in 12... But that would be bad woudn't it. One thing I am happy about is that it won't adapt 90+ chapters in 2 cours but will probably be more slow paced and maybe adapt the first major arc in two, two cour season worth of episode |
|
| It's more around 3 chapters per episode, and 2 chapters for a weekly shounen per ep, is way too slow. (for the beginning) Regardless, how does 12 episodes make things better; they're likely not going to pace it slow or normal at all now. |

Given their track record so far, only 12 episodes is scaring a ton of us since we have no good idea about where they would stop and there is a chance they just flat out cram some complete mess in that short airing time. 90 chapters in ~24 episodes could definitely work if the meaningful details are managed correctly and the rather insignificant ones are omitted. Welp, we can only cross our fingers and hope now. Fortunately, the first OVA was pretty solid/good, so we have that going for us. |
|
| 24 episodes would have been preferred, but I'll take what I can get. |
| 12 episodes, more like isuca type that will be garbage later, dont expect too much on the studio of this anime |
| Does anyone know how long the first major arc was? |

SogiitaGunha said: We saw that all of the witches in the opening of the OVA do it will probably be #1. 90 chapters in 12 episodes is beyond ridiculous.Well, you can't really call anything a major arc since the arcs supposed to represent the appearances of witches, but they are not that long IMO to consider them arcs. Instead we could say that the first saga that starts and concludes the story of the 7 witches lasts around 90 chapters. Given that the anime has 12 episodes for that and the last witch only makes her debut in the late 60's chapters, these are my scenarios for the anime: #1: Since we see all the witches in the poster, the anime could be a complete filler. -.- #2: #RushesAsF*ck. The thought of 90 chapters mixed into 12 episodes... #3: An adaptation with normal pacing that adapts like 40 chapters(till Maria's arc maybe) then "to be continued" message and a 2nd cour later. Wishful thinking? |

| Damn, I was really looking forward to this adaptation and this news just sounds depressing. What the hell happened? I know Miki Yoshikawa didn't want her manga to be made into an anime, because she felt that her art and comedy wouldn't transition too well. Did her publisher just pressure her into it and hastily gave the license to some low budget studio who won't even be able to pull it off properly? Well at least she'll be able to say: "I told you so." It's a damn shame though - this could have been a fantastic work had it had the same treatment as Nisekoi for example. I really feel like Yamada kun is THE manga of this generation's youth. |

| Yeah I can't find the exact source, but her fans have been clamoring for ages to get an anime adaptation and this was one of the issues. |

| It is just a bad business move to give a anime where the main genre is comedy more than 13 episodes. The comedy can fall flat after that. My favorite comedy anime is D-Frag, and even on that one, I wouldnt have given it more than 13 episodes. I think the only three comedy animes that I know of that have gotten more than 13 episodes when adapted are Nisekoi, Assassination Classroom, and School Rumble. |

If there's only 12 episodes the anime will just scrap the plot and only have comedyIt is just a bad business move to give a anime where the main genre is comedy more than 13 episodes.

CTOONfan1 said: That isn't going to happen lolI'm gonna hold onto the naive hope that they're going to adapt to somewhere midway in the story and that they'll save the rest of the first arc for later seasons. I have to think like this, because any other possibility is just depressing. Maybe the cast list was including their OVA appearances. Everyone on that list, including the non-main characters, had lines in the first special, so it's possible. Right? Unfortunately even though this isn't going to follow that manga much we can still pray it can be good on it's own. |

| this is getting setup to be subpar... |
 |
| Should i just take this as a sign and just read the manga guys? |

Kryptiq said: Should i just take this as a sign and just read the manga guys? May as well. This anime is going to be mainly filler. |
|
| Gonna read the manga and ignore the anime. Sigh liden strikes again. |

AcceleratorAngel said: Gonna read the manga and ignore the anime. Sigh liden strikes again. The only decent anime I've watched from them is Initial D Legend 1. Then again, I never read the manga and it's LIDENFILMSxSANZIGEN. Arslan Senki is the second anime from that collaboration so I'm curious as to how it will be this Spring. |
| And here some of us were expecting 52 episodes. Reality is heartbreaking. |
 |
| Damn it why 12ep im scared this is gonna be too crammed up like The Fruit of Grisaia in fall which turned out to be a mess :/ |
 |
Fabrice said: grisaia wasnt a mangaDamn it why 12ep im scared this is gonna be too crammed up like The Fruit of Grisaia in fall which turned out to be a mess :/ this can easily be a normal 1 cour adaption grisaia was too complex with over 50 hours of gameplay which is impossible to condense into 12 or 13 episodes but a manga adaption can be trimmed easily by either rushing to "good parts" or stopping at certain arcs |
| I think its fine, i hope it would mean that they would cut the "useless" talking. They would probably introduce each witches per ep, ( maybe one or two of them will get two eps ) |
 |
| I won’t judge the series until I have actually seen it, but 12 episodes for this seems way too short indeed. 1 cour of 22-26 episodes for this would have been more than ideal, but I guess it is what it is. If it ends up being rush (which is most likely at this point), I will be disappointed. I really hope the studio is planning on doing another cour after the initial 12 episodes are finished. Not holding my breath on that though, mainly because the studio has never done something like that for any of their previous full-length works (+20 min. episodes) before. But then again, who knows. |
