I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I can't believe it... I can't lie, I have rather high expectations - especially when it comes to music. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| Excuse me? Ahem...EXCUSE ME???!!!! |
 |
| Weird announcement the ost was good though |
 |
| Ahhh, the story... No... just the overall atmosphere showed in the series kinda reminds me of Violet Evergarden... Well, you know, the dramatic tone of it... |
| Never expect this to happen. My friends asked for it to get an adaptation even though it would never gonna be happen but im so happy about it. Hope it gets decent adaptation. |
 |
| Video from the creator : Infos from the official press release : -It will be a collaborative project between Japan (main production) and China (main funding). -First tier Japanese animation production companies are aboard (specifics to be announced in the coming future). -The film project was made possible in partnership with Beijing's Ultron Event Horizon, whose CEO, Danyang Zhao, was responsible for bringing the animated film "Your Name" to China. -Significant budget for the project has been cleared (quoted as somewhere above the budget for the production of Your Name, for reference). -The original creator of To the Moon, Kan Gao, will play a part in the script editing/advising process. copy-pasted from reddit but who cares lmao |
 |
| It's about bloody time, oh my lord! |
| I never would've expected this to get an anime adaptation. I can't wait! |
 'nom' |
| Woah! An RPG-Maker game is receiving an adaptation. Still waiting for proper Corpse Party and Ib adaptations. |
 |
| holy shit ITS HAPPENING! after 7 years, this RPG Maker based game. good god. i remember i fuckin cried, especially the music. the story is good, the music is good. the rest is up to the animation, fingers crossed |
 |
| What. How. What next, you gonna do that Thomas Was Alone anime or what? :v |
 |
| This should have been a live action movie tho. Still looking forward to the anime project. |
 |
| only read the summary and already tearjerking.... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Nice! Can't wait to see it. |
join the hyper going home club!  |
| Wow, never expected this to happen. One of my favorite game's story-wise, hopefully they do a good job. |
Though we are parted, If on Mount Inaba's peak I should hear the sound Of the pine trees growing there, I'll come back again to you. |
| Damn the hype is strong from everyone who played the game! I guess I'll try it out as well and be awaiting the movie's release! |
 |
| It's a really good game. Glad to see it getting some love. This reminds me I still need to pick up the sequel. |
 |
| Damn son. I watched its gameplay before and it gave me goosebumps on its 2nd half and now seriously this game is getting a movie? Will definitely watch this. |
 |
| Oh shit, never would have thought this would ever get a movie but hype af! The game was great so fingers crossed they don't mess it up somehow. |
| Might be the first time we get a canonically autistic character in an anime. |
| Synopsis: Sigmund Corp. uses a technology that can create artificial memories. They offer this as a "wish fulfillment" service to people on their death beds. Since these artificial memories conflict with the patient's real memories, the procedure is only legal to do on people without much time left to live. Sigmund Corp. employees Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts are tasked with fulfilling the lifelong dream of the dying Johnny Wyles. Johnny wants to go to the moon, although he doesn't know why. (Source: Wiki) 50% of the profit made from this multi-award winning game went to the Charity for Autism. :) Really, really looking forward to it. Now hoping that a renowned studio with a capable director/scriptwriter adapts this. If done right, just by reading the thousands of gamers' appreciations in Steam, youtube channel, etc. this could really turn out to be an anime masterpiece. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Whoa, it's been years since I've heard this game being mentioned again. It was a very good game though and it's kinda exciting knowing that a game made through RPG Maker is getting an anime movie with high production values. |
 |
| Yup,yup, more game adaptation always welcome. |
| Words cannot express how much of a masterpiece this story is. I can testify that if this adaptation handled correctly, we could potentially have one of the greatest Animated Films to have EVER been created of all time surpassing the likes of Your Name and Spirited Away. |
| Woah, after all these years, I wasn't expecting to see this name again. But what a great news! The game is a real masterpiece, I can't wait to see the movie. |
| woaah. I did wished about this game getting anime, but i really didn't expect that it would because the industry is distantly different. Anyway, i hope this turns out well. |
| I'm surprised, but very happy to hear this. If done well, it'll be an amazing movie. I wonder how it'll work out. The game was 4-6 hours long, I really hope it won't feel too rushed. |
| hello, anime dbs-san |
 still life: pink roses |
| wtf that´s awesome. i´m preparing for the feels already |
 |
| Fantastic news. Didn't see this coming. |
| Super excited, I remember watching a playthrough of this a few years ago and it touching my heart :') |
currently: doing my best!  |
| This came out of nowhere. Sounds exciting tbh. |
 |
| Didn’t see this one coming. I never thought that there would’ve been any interest in producing a movie from the game. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game and I was plugging away at it until daybreak at least once. Certainly will be most interested in seeing the film adaptation. And as someone else said, will have plenty of tissues on hand when I watch it. |
| Best news of the year up to now! It is my favorite game and I really didn't expect this, but I welcome the surprise! The game is short too, so I can hope for a good adaptation without being worried for the pacing. I can't wait to put it in my favorites once I see it :D (Yes, I do have such great expectations!) Also, with this much attention, I hope the next game will come sooner than the 6 years the 2nd one took >.< I can't wait to see what happens! |
   |
| That game is nice, so that's a cool news. |
 |
| wuh- wah- wait WHAT HOLY GUACAMOLE, THANK YOU GOOOOD |
| Read my comic pl0x :D Rockerella meets Merman |
| DAAAMN I was always under the impression that this game could be the blueprint for a great adaptation, never thought someone would actually do it tho. If they put some real effort and a talented director behind this, this could be genuinely great. |
| Currently playing: Persona 3 FES, Subarashiki Hibi ~Furenzoku Sonzai~ |
| A FUCKING RPG MAKER GAME IS GETTING ANIME AAAAAA MY DREAM HAS CAME TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT GAME MANNNNNNNN |
| Wow, an RPG Maker game is getting an adaption. Never would have expected it. I guess I should play the game now. |
 |
| An RPG maker game now getting proper anime adaptations? Love this news especially since To the Moon is one of my favourites. Anime is looking in good shape for the coming years if this is a sign. |
 Latest reviews: Train to the the End of the World and Wonder Egg Priority |
| The title makes me think of The Honeymooners. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Am I the only person who's never heard of this? Of all games out there, this seems like such a random one to get an anime adaptation. But I have no idea what it's about so it could be good. |
