| A website of P.A. Works's new anime was found on August 1st. The original character designs are done by Kisida Mel ("Sora no Woto"). Hanasaku Iroha official webpage (with audio, under construction) Hanasaku Iroha PV (Youtube) Synopsis from the trailer: Matsumae Ohana, a 16 year old girl, moves out of Tokyo and starts working at a hot spring hotel, which locates on a hill surrounded by blossom. It's about teenage girls, who are looking for dreams and excitements. |

| Looks interesting the video.. wonder what is the plot. any news of it? The characters look cute =) |
 |
| Oh wow. Looks fun |
 |
| looks interesting....can't wait to see what's it's all about. |
 |
| Not yet sure. I'm kinda disappointed with P.A. Works' previous work *cough*AngelBeats!*cough*. But characters are kinda ok. Will think about it when more details are available. Edit: Reading the synopsis, I'm kinda not interested. I will most likely not watch it when it comes out. More details again and I might think about it...again... |

| Character designs look good, but the Sora no Woto characters looked good on the concept too. I'm not a big fan of True Tears, but it wasn't actually a bad show, so this might be actually good. |
 |
| FUCK YEAH, PA WORKS!!!!!!! /fanboy God, I'm so happy. ;_; |
 |
| (H) |
| Hmmm, kind of looks like a coming-of-age shoujo. I'll definitely give this one a shot. Though, I'll admit that my initial impressions were cut in half when I saw "Angel Beats!" and "Canaan". Not that they were particularly bad, but rather both ultimately disappointing considering the potential they amassed right before they ended. I just hope it doesn't end up as another generic school romance. |
| The char designs should be quite decent then. |

|
| I assume the main character's seiyuu is Itou Kanae, since she is the one who speaks in the trailer, and she speaks in first person. I like her voice, so it's another reason I can look forward to this anime. |
|
| Perhaps this time Kishida Mel get's a chance to have his/her designs faithfully animated. May P.A Works do what A1 didn't even try to. |
 |
| Interesting. |
| I sounds like a decent slice-of-life concept, so I will probably check it out, but P.A Works haven't done anything to convince me with Canaan and Angel Beats they can pull out a good anime, let alone a top-tier one. However, if make Junji Nishimura director like they did with True Tears, which I haven't seen (waiting for THORA), but I liked his work in Simoun and Windy Tales, so my expectations will be much higher if he was directing. |

 And on the edge of sanity I stumble and fall. |
| Looks decent, I just hope it won't go in the shoujo-ai direction... |
| looking forward to this, I hope it will be a good anime :) |
| Sounds interesting enough, so I'll be looking forward to it. |
 |
| I didn't really like True Tears or Angel Beats, but I loved Sora no woto and with the voice of Itou Kanae I would definiely expect something superb, so I'm looking forward to this~ It would be great if it were an Anime no chikara production~ |
 |
| It sounds quite interesting. I am not into this kind of stuff, but I will try it. |
| Well, it does sound interesting, P.A Works and stuff. But i won't take my hopes too high, i already did with Sora no Woto. Don't want to be so dissapointed for the second time. Also, characters design looks great, expecially main girl. seishi-sama said: I would be pleased with the opposite, but it won't happen anyway...Looks decent, I just hope it won't go in the shoujo-ai direction... |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| This is some nice news to come home to. Hmhm, hope it could be anything like Natsu no Sora. |

 |
| looks like another moe2x-kyun anime.... (k-on) |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Ill watch it, caught my interest. |

freedoleen said: I like the original design for the main girl. Final version will probably look different, but P.A. Works is definitely capable of making good-looking character designs. I personally have yet to see a bad show from them (although I haven't seen Layton). Hoping for a romance show similar to True Tears. watch the mediocre Canaan and shitty Angel Beat |

Personally, I think True Tears and Canaan was mediocre, but the animation was great in both of them, so I don't think there will be a problem with that. Since it's a slice-of-life series, I don't expect a great story, but I hope it will have good characters, and not so much moe. |
|
| I just wish they really used those illustrations in the anime, rather than K-ONing them. |

| If it's anything like Canaan or Angel Beats I will be disappointed..the art is good but they really have awful directing and storytelling. True Tears was a good romance and it was a very enjoyable series overall but that's about all they've done that's good. I really hope this doesn't turn into a lesbian fest..hell, I'd rather watch a mediocre harem than some dykes being dykes. |
| Ok™ |
| Sounds good |
     |
| Canaan was mediocre and the only good things about Angel Beats! were the OP & ED and Tachibana Kanade. True Tears was great, so I'm hoping this new show is something like that. |
| this original chara design shit again huh ? inb4 it became another entity in actual works... Ah when I'll finally can see Kishida meru chara design in anime... And actually P.A Works already done this kind of "public lie" in Angel Beats, with not borrow Na-Ga chara concept design to actual works. BAWWWWWWWWW I WANT MAI KISHIDA MERU DESIGN IN MAI ANIMU. |

| Waiting. As P.A.Works fun I hope for any new anime from this studio. They are real profies P.C.: Looks like all P.A.Works haters come to this thread. Good opportunitty пащк killing them ))) |

| The premise looks interesting and I like the character designs. |

seishi-sama said: Looks decent, I just hope it won't go in the shoujo-ai direction... Oh, gooddie, I'll have another anime with shoujo-ai bits to fangirl on. Sora no Woto was like that, but somehow not as good >.< Err, anyway, though I admit P.A. Works makes one of the greatest arts ever, they really FAIL at direction. I've watched the big "three" and I wouldn't say they satisfied me. All of them had potential /maybe except for CANAAN but we could've at least get more shoujo-ai in there, yeah?/ but PA Works ruined them. True Tears ended ridiculously, CANAAN is... huh? Random, but overall mediocre. And about AB!... I WANT A REMAKE! F..cking period. I have yet to see the end but I already feel dissapointed. I'm a Key and Maeda Jun bitch and liked it for a while but I sense big disturbance already in this anime. It won't stay in my top 5 for long. It was a temporary thing. Basically, P.A. Works needs to fix their direction! They ruin everything, thinking that great art can compensate for it. On a side note: Yeah, I'll watch it. The art is going to be good for sure, so why not. I like pointless anime ^^ And if they ruin even THIS, then I'll lose hope for them. |

| I'm saying this with no connection to TT being one of my favorites, but you might want to spoiler tag your ranting a bit. Just because it wasn't satisfying enough for you, you don't have to ruin it for the rest, eh? |
| My bad, fix'd. |
| |
| True Tears was okay but all P.A. shows after that were mediocre at best. Well, the art is nice and I like the Seiyu so let's wait and see. |
| Artwork looks pretty good. I'll give this one a shot when it comes out. |
 |
| hmm. if the character designs could be adapted more closely i'd like it regardless. here's hoping. |
| seems alright almost a slice of life kinda anime |
| This looks interesting. |
| I've been liking PA Works for sometime now especially there work on the concert scenes of Angel Beats. This is definitely worth a look. |
