Character design by Aoki Ume, looks promising coming from SHAFT. Another Hidamari Sketch-like franchise?

Lately it seems like the industry is divided between too early adaptations and original material. Adapting material too fast is a recipe for disaster so that's no good. Let's see how the anime originals go. At least with anime originals you won't get all the manga fanboys screaming and complaining for every detail.

These are all adaptations. Originals are something else.

Last anime I knew Shinbo directed that was original was SoulTaker. And what a sack of crap that was.

In any case, let's see just how much COOL and UNUSUAL camera angles, rapid-fire dialogue and obscure anime references and popular Japanese internet memes SHAFT can stuff into this title.

Let's now take bets on whether:
Kamiya Hiroshi/ Saitou Chiwa/ Yuuki Aoi/ Sugita Tomokazu/ Nakamura Yuuichi/ Shintani Ryoko/ Omigawa Chiaki will end up in the seiyuu cast.

Character desing from Aoki, scenario by Uroguchi, and directed by Shinbo? Nothing can go wrong this way...

Now, seriously, designs like Hidamari Sketch, story from the same guy who wrote Saya no Uta and Fate/zero, and animated by SHAFT... This is gonna be an EPIC WIN!


Edit: Wait. A mohou shoujo writen by Uroguchi...? Now I don't know what to expect... this can turn out to be anything.

A SHAFT/Shinbou original Mahou Shoujo? I'm just not feeling it. That's because every time I try to imagine it, I see flashes of text where the actions scenes should be. Also, the last time Shinbou tried to do something serious, we ended up with Dance in the Vampire Bund, so I hope this is a parody of some sort.

I will still probably check it out an episode or two, just like I have for pretty much every non-sequel SHAFT anime.

Also, inb4 airing in the same season as Kizumonogatari/Maria Holic 2

Well, I know Urobuchi-sensei is a funny guy, but not to that extent...Or?...

So, what I'm going to say is, should we expect cute mahou shoujos being zombified, tentacle raped then brutally murdered in the most colorful way, or cute mahou shoujos being murdered in the most colorful way, then zombified then tentacle raped?

But really, no matter how much I'm excited about this particular project, I'd prefer some of the nitro+ best games written by Urobuchi to be animated instead. And no, I don't fuckin' mean Saya no Uta cause this particular game was quite possibly the worst game Urobuchi had written. Gekkou no Carnevale and Satsuriku no Django are way superior.

Who told you that? I'm quite positive no airing dates for any of these three shows has been announced.

Wait, they advertise their new anime "within" some yaoi-anime (although the VN IS von nitro+)?

Mahou Shoujo? (Seinen?)

Something isn't fitting... Shouldn't the target-group of the "ads" be the same as the anime they air in?
