RobertBobert said: Does this have good potential? We will have to see. The light novels are great in my opinion. If it adapts well then it's gonna be sweet for me at least. The start of the series should be a little dark themed but quickly change it around. Lots of deaths though. People die without anyone questioning it, like it's natural for them to burst into pieces. Kind of. |

| @Azuchi The poster looks pretty mediocre, but I want to believe that they cast some pretty famous VA for a reason. |
|
| ah yes the trend of decent/good stuff getting adapted by bad/not up to par studios continues. at least it looks better than tbate ig hope yanagisawa redeems himself with this as past few works have been kinda cheek. |
| The only one worth commenting on as it's the only newly announced adaptation that isn't in a European fantasy world... smh... |
 |
| Looks pretty interesting to me. |
| Very good...hope the studio makes something worthy with the material. ...I guess Sevens adaptation is never happening, right? Even the author gave up on the LN adaptation from the OG WN...sad, it was his best work. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
