Good news. Now I hope we get more info on cast and staff soon. Hope Madhouse or something adapts this. And with the amount of chapters, a 2 cour is fairly possible.

Lol this will be getting censored right from the start and I wonder which studio is going to adapt this. I hope it won't be either A-1 or studio deen.

Please, for the love of God, be a competent studio/team. This deserves the best, nothing else.

Madhouse FTW! Hope it won't end like Terra Formers or Tokyo Ghoul...butchered by censorship

I hope it's not censored like Tokyo Ghoul.

Aw yeah! Can't wait for this! I really hope it comes out great.

it definitely at least needs 2 cour worth of episodes to end it at a good point. which needs to cover up 82 chapters as that when the first part of the story ends.

for god's sake i hope the censorship won't be so bad as other series...pls dont ruin this adaptation.

Yay, I found the manga really funny!

I wouldn't choose Madhouse for this since they have a terrible reputation like tampering the source material. They're bad in BD/DVD sales in general which decreases the chances of sequels.

The TV stations are the ones who do the censorship, not the studios.

> 2015
> Still ignorant about the basics of TV anime

pls

This is MAL we're talking about where most people don't even know the difference between animation and art.

I've had this on my plan to read list for a while, waiting for it to finish. Might not watch the anime before that.

good to know its soon enough ....This could become a masterpiece or shit,no middle...Need someone good enough to adapt ridiculousness of the manga,SHAFT would be amazing #believe

Heard good things about this manga. I hope that it will get adapted properly

neat

That really depends, the studio might just remove/change the scenes entirely to avoid showing anything in the first place, it's unlikely though.

Air it on AT-X! Hopefully, without censorship....

I don't see anyone here saying that studios are the problem with censorship. They just want this manga to be adapted by a good studio.

Madhouse is good. I don't think they fuck up manga adaptations.

Oh these are great news.

I'm gonna pass.

i need to know the studio, if the studio is shit, i could not care less for this anime

Nice, I'm looking forward to it. Wonder how much it'll adapt, though I have a hunch.

O__O

Looking forward to this

I read the first 8 chapters and it doesn't excite me, i'll check it out anyway.

Every chapter contain heavy ecchi so unfortunately I'm not optimistic about the censorship...

So much hype. Funniest series I have ever read never mind the glorious ecchiness. Hope it airs on AT-X uncensored, with series like this and DxD you cannot enjoy them to the fullest with censoring.

It has to be 2 cour with the end perfectly fit for when

dam yes one of my fav manga XDD

Finally

Wlep, I think one would be better off going to the manga than watching this, cu'z obviously the anime version would be tone downed.

ohhhh, this is worth the wait... please limit the censorship....

I'll watch for the scene about boobs being fake asses and that's about it.

or ends there,but 1 cour...Cause that's how cruel anime world is

I hope they go easy on us in terms of censorship.

I don't think I wanna see SHAFT on this one. I'm already pretty fed up with their/Shinbo's style.
Madhouse or IG would be fine.

Wikipedia says Madhouse gonna do it. I hope its true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_School

I still have low expectations for it..idk but such manga series are kind of difficult to adapt into anime and still make them seem as hilarious.
It definitely needs a two cour, not more since the manga is proceeding really slowly. I am really curious about the VAs.

I really hate ecchi animes but this one looks pretty interesting.

Gonna be disappointing if they pick Kirito's VA for the mc.

''An anime adaptation directed by Tetsurō Araki and animated by Studio Madhouse has been announced and is set to begin airing in July 2015''

That would be great

My god...the amount of cencoring that will be needed for this...

summer? so it will be in may! Yeah!!! Glad to hear that! I hope they will cover the episode until all boys out from the prison!

Hopefully Madhouse will do a good job. Tetsurou Araki? well, the first five episodes will be amazing for sure... (we'll see what comes after them).

I honestly can't see this ending up being half as good as the manga, especially because I can't see the art being traduced well in anime form and then there's the whole censoring deal. Still, some good voice acting and a good studio adapting this might prove me wrong.

I have these exact thoughts. Well, let's hope for the best.

I think everyone should already know not to trust Wikipedia. They haven't announced any staff yet.

This looks like a good series. I'll look forward.


I might skip it if that happens.

This must be on AT-X or it will be unwatchable and if they pull a Cross Ange on the BDs, it won't sell.

O.o
