 The official site for NHK has revealed three new TV anime series to air in 2018. Piano no Mori (Piano Forest) is getting a TV anime adaptation to air on NHK in Spring 2018. More info about the upcoming series will be revealed at a later date. Synopsis A tranquil tale about two boys from very different upbringings. On one hand you have Kai, born as the son of a prostitute, who's been playing the abandoned piano in the forest near his home ever since he was young. And on the other you have Syuhei, practically breast-fed by the piano as the son of a family of prestigious pianists. Yet it is their common bond with the piano that eventually intertwines their paths in life. (Source: KEFI) The series is drawn by Makoto Isshiki. It was previously serialized in now-defunct Young Magazine Uppers between August 1998 and November 2002. The series resumed serialization in Morning in April 2005 and concluded in November 2015. The 26th and final volume was published by Kodansha in December 2015. It was previously adapted into a movie by Madhouse that premiered in July 2007. Official site: http://piano-anime.jp/ Official Twitter: @piano_anime_tv Tsurune: Kazemai High School School's Archery Club will be animated by Kyoto Animation and premiere in 2018. The light novel series received a Special Judge Awards in 2016. Synopsis The "archery youth story" novel follows Minato Narumiya. Minato played Japanese archery in middle school, but after a certain incident, he ran away from the sport. In high school, Minato meets new friends, and together as part of their school's archery club they aim to win the prefectural tournament. (Source: ANN) The series is written by Kotoko Ayano with illustrations by Chinatsu Morimoto and published under its KA Bunko imprint in December 2016. Tsukumogami Kashimasu (Tsukumogami For Rent) is based on a novel series and will premiere on NHK in 2018. The manga is set during the Edo period, in the Fukagawa ward of old Edo (present-day Tokyo). Because the area is prone to fire and flooding, residents rent everyday items like pots, futons, and clothing from shops instead of purchasing them, so as not to impede them when they flee. Obeni and Seiji, an older sister and younger brother, run one such rental shop called Izumoya. However, mixed in with their inventory are tsukumogami, objects that have turned into spirits after a hundred years of existence. The siblings sometimes lend these sentient items to customers. Both Obeni and Seiji can see and talk to these spirits, and other tsukumogami often come to the store after hearing of the famed siblings. (Source: ANN) The series is written by Megumi Hatakenaka and has been published by Kadokawa in 2007. A sequel was published in 2013, under the title Tsukumogami, Asobou yo (Tsukumogami, Let's Play).

| Golly, I'm not a fan of music, sports, or Edo period anime, guess this is a huge L for me lol |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| The one I'm most interested in is Piano no Mori. Really enjoyed the manga and it's possible to make it into a complete adaptation since the series finished publishing. Can't wait for Spring 2018! |
|
| finally piano no mori gets a proper tv anime adaption dope |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator-  |
| I know someone who saw the Piano no mori movie, wasn't great, hope this anime will be better. Kyoani kyuudou is intriguing though. Plot identical to Euphy but who knows? No opinion about the last one, could go either way. |
 |
| I was waiting for that KyoAni Kyuudou announcement since the day the novel was out. Just thinking about how focused KyoAni is on "perfect reproduction" of movements - I'm sure I can finally get the Kyuudou anime I've been waiting for so long. |
 |
| That edo everyday spirit rental shop anime seems cool |
    |
| So basically Hibike but with bows and pretty boys. Cool. Here's hoping for Takemoto leading the project. We need more Takemoto. |
 |
| Oldies getting adapted huh. Now waiting for 20th century boys adaptation. 2018 pls <3 |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| Piano no Mori will get a TV series? What a great news! The movie was cool. And it will be really interesting to watch the full adaptation of manga) |
| “All men are jealous idiots. And women are stupid too, to feel happy about it. It's true, there are idiots everywhere!” “I know it's difficult to look past my brilliant tail, brain and looks, but I also have excellent ears and eyes.” “I need to have a drink, and I need one soon!” “I am Holo the Wise Wolf so you shut up!” |
| Will probably end up watching the archery one at least. |
| The archery anime seems interesting to me because I think there aren't any anime about archery that come out before this one and I'm quite interested with archery so I can't wait for it! |

| Piano no Mori is getting an anime? Finally! I loved the movie so I'm really looking forward to a full anime adaptation. |
 |
| Piano no Mori bout time it get a more complete adapation ;o |
| I will watch the archery anime because KyoAni usually gives great animation to their shows. |
| I'll prob end up watching all of these but certainly hyped for Piano no Mori |
 |
| First and third one sound alright. As for the second one, well archery is admittedly a pretty cool sport but it's still a sports anime so rip |
  |
| Damn just yesterday I was wondering why Tsurune never got an anime. Thank you Kyoani. |

| Whoa, I just watched Piano no Mori on a plane haha. Pretty hyped as it was a really good movie I just watched on a whim within the in-flight entertainment system's limited anime selection. |
| This made my day, especially Piano no Mori, enjoyed the movie and manga is in my PTW list. |
 |
| Yay, excited for Piano no Mori! Also happy to be getting an archery show, especially from KyoAni. Archery deserves more love! |
| neither looks any good guess there wont be any 4th season for rinne since this 3 gonna probably surely take all of the air slots on NHK... |
 |
| Wow, both of these look really intriguing. I hope Piano no mori gets adapted fully the second time around though. |
| First Banana Fish and now this! Ahh but Piano no Mori really shines at the end of the manga, which they probably won't end up adapting... plus there's some things they can't show on TV. Not sure how that will turn out. XD The movie's a bit different from the manga so I recommend reading it~! |

| KyoAni? I'm in of course |
| hmm I might end up watching the archery one since i'm interested in learning archery I just hope Kyoto Animation won't make it full of fan service =_= |
| So that archery anime is pretty much Hibike + Free ? Also, nice to see another surprising comeback for 2018 with Piano no Mori. wanted to try the movie one day but i guess that can wait now since its most likely going to get the full adaptation treatment |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
galimx said: Pretty sure Takemoto is going to be directing the Archery Club anime. Its going to be "similar" to Hyouka. ..So long as it doesn't go the 'FREE' route and throw a bunch of queer baiting fan service in our faces.. I am honestly really looking forward to it. |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| 1. I'm not a fan of the piano (probably because it's depicted so much in anime and Western Cartoons), I'll pass. 2. I'd be more interested if it was an all girl cast. Pass. 3. Tsukumogami Kashimasu seems to be the most unique of the bunch, I'll try that. |
 |
| Hmm all three look pretty good. I'll have to watch Piano no Mori again just to recover my memories of what happened. Most hyped for the archery club one, since I haven't actually seen one that only concentrated on archery and for high school boys... Tsukumogami For Rent looks pretty unique and since I like Japanese Historical anime series, I'll definitely try it out. I'll also have to read the manga for Piano no Mori, along with the other two... |

| Super excited for Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudoubu! Finally an anime that features a sport I actually play and know about XD Yay~ Maybe it'll inspire me to pick up my bow again, I haven't done it for a while since injuring my shoulders. The characters seem quite likeable too, so I'm hoping we'll see a nice wholesome series without too much fan service given the nature of the sport. |
