Hype

Is it remake, sequel, it what?

The fact that some users are hyping this at this point without actually knowing the staff involved and amount of episodes it will have, it is a bit moronic.

Looking forward to this treat!

They already tried to adapt this back in 2008 and failed miserable.... why should I expect better? The staff involved in that first adaptation wasn’t even that bad either.

The fact that some users are hyping this at this point without actually knowing the staff involved and amount of episodes it will have, it is a bit moronic. That’s basically a recipe for disappointment.... Expectations based on hype are one of the worse things in the world of entertainment.

1) Do I still hope for the best?

Yes, like always. If this ends up being just decent that would be a good accomplishment as well.

The fact that someone doesn't agree with your post means that they're "getting worked up"? Gee, what an interesting and polite manner of discussing anything.

Good adaptations don't have to be the ones of the "old and already completed mangas". Yes, Fruits Basket has so far been a very good adaptation. The first season of Houseki no Kuni was a fantastic adaptation, and so was Mahoutsukai no Youme. Golden Kamuy and Noragami have so far been good. Knights of Sidonia was okay; shame that it doesn't seem like they're making the last season. I'm not a huge fan of AoT, but the anime version has so far been universally praised by the AoT fans. And then there are exceptional series like Dororo, which isn't a straight-up adaptation, but rather something inspired by the original - and something far superior. Same goes for Devilman Crybaby. Koi wa Ameagari no You ni was a decent if partial adaptation. Nozaki-kun, Ore Monogatari, Hinamatsuri and Sakamoto desu ga are pretty good adaptations of their respective source material. Gundam: The Origin was a good adaptation, though I'm still baffled by the decision to adapt only part of the manga. Even with that crazy ending Gundam Unicorn is as good as the novel. The tiny bit of Dimension W that they decided to adapt was decent. All the bits of Kekkai Sensen that they decided to adapt were good. So far all of the new adaptations of JoJo have been pretty good and sometimes even better than the manga. I could mention a couple more of anime series - adaptations of both "old and/or completed" and newer mangas/novels - that aired in the last decade, and I don't think I even watch anime that much, especially when compared with many MAL regulars.

So yeah, I think I can be cautiously optimistic. It's too soon to be a party pooper, anyway.

You don't know whether it will be a bad series, either. And I never said anything about having high expectations. I've only said that simply enjoying this announcement doesn't mean that such a person is "hyping" or "moronic"... and that's all. ;)

LIDENFILMS in charge of this is a little bit of a let-down personally but hopefully it will be good nonetheless.

Tsarko said:
Staff looks quite good, so the anime has fair chance of turning out nice.

_MushiRock11_ said:


Well, you're right about it but I just have a feeling LIDENFILMS will find it difficult to keep up with this show considering it’s confirmed to be a complete adaption.

New character designs & additional cast.

Piromysl said:
You guys noticed that Kenjirou Tsuda is getting awfully lot of roles lately?
He is perfect fit for this role as well.

It's definitely going to get popular because of mass fan following increase since 2008 to 2019.
I am not talking about this anime fan following tho.
Anime viewer are increased this days now whole world know all about anime..and there existences. In 2008 it was not get popular around the world.and due to his low response in Japan they closed down the anime.
But this time it's different because as you know there are plenty countries which are associated with anime production . Thier view count to them.i wish people will rise this up in response as they did on Boku no hero academia , attack on titan Tokyo ghoul...etc.
So you already know the power of legitimate viewers.
So I Hope for the BEST.


I read the whole manga and it's all Mature Story.
I love the whole story because of its plot and character development .
Journey of RIN is hard .you will see it soon enough XD.

They said this will be a full adaptation of the manga. No info about Studio or staff yet.

One thing of note is that the cast of characters/VO's revealed so far is roughly equivalent to the one present in the first few volumes. It might be an indication that these 24 episodes will only cover the starting portion of the source material.
