"Zero Kara Hajimeru"
"White Fox"

LOL, that fucking coincidence though.

On another note, I thought this was going to be a prequel or sequel to Re:Zero. Got my hopes up there for a sec. Either way, I'll still watch this because it's by White Fox.

Bring a Psycome adaptation and I'll be the happiest girl on the planet regarding LNs.

It's the other way around. Kakeru Kobashiri is the writer and Shizuma the illustrator.

Another 'Zero' anime, great...
I'm more pissed though with the fact that White Fox studio decided to animate this in the Spring 2017 season instead of Steins;Gate 0, whose adaption has been greenlit since March 2015 and Steins;Gate 0 is currently placed 4th in the 'Top Upcoming Anime' Section on MyAnimeList. This means that Steins;Gate 0 has been delayed again. Great.

It hasn't been delayed... they just announced it when they started creating it dumbass. This was in production first.

Oh no, it was delayed? I'm hyping for nothing for S;G0. Please they need to focus on that.


We have not heard of S;G0 for a loong since now. IT is safe to assume WF decided that it would be more profitable stomping out generic isekai LN adaptations every season now than to work on actually good and creative things(I don't blame them considering how overrated by mainstream ReZero ended up being). I can't wait till people start touting this as "deconstruction" and "aoty" and all the other crap.

The genre is fantasy, not "isekai" lmao.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the story is about a sorceress and a kind beast. That's sounds pretty damn original to me.

Guy at WhiteFox: Sir, Re:Zero season one was a massive success, and fans have been anticipating for Steins;Gate 0 for months now, I think for our next project we should do a second season or either one of the two shows

Producer: No. How about we do this other Light Novel that also has Zero in it? The girl's hot

God, what a tease. Saw the title, the image, "witch" and thought "No Re:, must be prequel story of SATELLA HYPE AF YES!"

Siiiigh, still looks interesting but I'm to be bedridden for the rest of the day over this tragic development.

After checking it again, I was wrong. Looks like it wasn't even stated.

I wonder where I got that from... sry.


Ah I see :p

Spring might get a bit crazy next year.

In all honesty for a second I thought it was going to be another season of Re:Zero Lol, but I am quite interested in this one of course, if I can be really honest with you. Seems like White Fox wants to try a lot of fantasy stuff which isn't a bad thing, its pretty nice. Also the fact that they're starting to make more stuff to put their name there imo.

When I read the title, I wonder if this is related to Re:Zero. But then I remembered reading this name and also "Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku" on Oricon LN charts here in MAL. Yeah pretty much similar titles. Death March seems popular so I also expect it to be animated. Isekai domination time.

I like how most peoples complaining stopped at the title+picture without reading the synopsis lol. Isekai? Err it's not xD.

A beast going in a journey to become human? hmmm, the beast is anthropomorphic, so a kind of beastman then. Why not, that could be nice.
Anthropomorphic important characters aren't that common. We'll get some with Sukasuka anime in 2017, guess we'll get even more. Is this the beginning of the anthropomorphic reign in anime? x)

Hi Stark, this is Aer from Nanodesu Translations! You may have missed my earlier message in the thread, but that's all fine and good. If it's not too much to ask, could you please credit Nanodesu Translations for our work on the translated synopsis of Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho in your news article on the anime announcement? I just happened to notice that you do credit other organizations such as Baka-Tsuki for their work on the Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku synopsis in your article on the anime adaptation of that series, so I was wondering if you would be able to do the same for us. A simple parenthetical citation would do, like the aforementioned Baka-Tsuki citation.

Thanks for your hard work!

Honestly, I would love to have more anthropomorphic main characters like the big white tiger mercenary in anime/manga. They are most of time designed huge, badass and look ferocious/cute in the same time.

I say that because I can't stand anymore this souless J.pop idol design we got in countless shows or most of characters are pretty (To be frank, It's a big reason I don't watch Rokka no Yuusha. No offence... )

I'm sure Rolonia manchetta would be happy to be called pretty xD. Chamo doesn't especially strike me as pretty either, and so does Hans, but why not .

But, yes, more anthopomorphic would be a nice addition to anime. It's not like every single fantasy story needs the main cast to have some tho. Rokka has some on the opposite side. Carguikk is pretty much an anthropomorphic lion, for example.

This looks cool, and I knew you guys would deliver by saying Re:Zero 2.0.

The trailer kind of gives off some Guin Saga vibes.

Look forward to watching it nonetheless.

Oh dear. Here we go again with the industry's obsession with the word "Zero".
Came here to say the same thing, and it's more like "Zero kara Hajimaru". From what I have observed, whenever there's a new anime-related trend in Japan, studios or publishers always hop onto the hype train and just milk it try. For example: SAO anime was really popular, before that we don't really get a lot of MMO type of anime, but since then, we've gotten a shit ton of it, and it doesn't seem like the trend is stopping anytime soon.

In this case, it's probably the "Zero kara Hajimaru" thing. It's annoying because they leave no room for something new, rather than beating a horse that's already dead. (well not really, but you get what I mean) Animation can do much more, it's them who're limiting the potential. Shame.

Lol, you are wrong if you think that anime adaptation of Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho wasn't planned before Re Zero even aired.

:o is it? I don't know how these things work, but I highly doubt it. What are the chances that this series with a familiar title just happened to be green-lit before/after the success of another similar title. Unless you have proofs, and even then, I still stand corrected on my other points.

By the way, Re:Zero is 2 cours long, so you're saying that it was planned half a year ago that this series was gonna be animated? This isn't a huge project like a big budget movie, it's just a seasonal anime. Besides, it didn't air the season after it announced the news, there's tons of time to get a TV slot, pre-animated the episodes, all that stuffs in 6 months time, from now.

When I first saw this I watched the PV and was like: "THIS IS RE: ZERO! LIKE...THE PREQUEL!"
I mean, like if this was actually a prequel to Re:Zero or some sort of side story, then this would definitely fit. The demi-humans visible, the magic, the witches, even the world looks similar. I'm not saying I'm hating this anime for having similar Re: Zero elements. When this anime comes out, I'm definitely going to watch it.

Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho does not belong to the "Zero Kara Hajimaru" pseudo-genre. Although the title contains the phrase "Zero Kara Hajimeru", there is nothing "starting from zero" about this anime/series. I would recommend taking some time to read the manga/LN or, if you don't have the time for that, to peruse the synopsis (as given on pretty much every aggregation site) and develop a deeper understanding for the plot before bashing anything.

I am not bashing the content of this series, I am speaking out on the issue this industry have in more recent time, that by following a popular trend, regardless of the content, they're limiting themselves to what they can make. Even though the series itself has nothing to do with "starting from zero" and whatnot, you gotta admit that at first glance, it reminds you of Re:Zero and it catches your attention, that's what they're going for imo.

I can certainly see where you're coming from and agree with the point you make about the industry as a whole, but from what I gather, the problem you're mentioning relates more to the content of certain anime being very similar in nature rather than something as superficial as mere titles. Because this series has basically nothing to do with Re:Zero besides the title and began serialization nearly three years back (before Re:Zero reached critical mass) under this name, I just can't see how White Fox picking this series up is following a "popular trend" and "limiting themselves to what they can make," when this series is completely different from Re:Zero and is therefore not part of a trend. Indeed, this anime announcement really isn't a good example to use if you're going to criticize anime studios for following popular trends in show content, as it's really only an ostensible similarity and nothing related to constricting the creative freedom of the studio to conform to a particular trend.

White Fox probably was looking for that delicious "Zero Kara Hajimaru" brand recognition though, we can both agree on that :>
