| that definitely looks like KyoAni's work just look at the character resemblance to K-On |
| Trailer: Looks great as far as art and animation go. Purple-eyed girl has a really pretty and cool character design. But... dtshyk said: fanservice episode at a swimming pool Really? -_- |

| January 2013 is much too far away. DraconisMarch said: At least the people who don't want that can skip it easily that way.But... dtshyk said: fanservice episode at a swimming pool Really? -_- |
| Seriously, the release is so far away, what's the point in announcing it now. |

And on top of that, the kids in the anime are supposed to be in high school. It's just starting to become disturbing. dtshyk said: The first episode of the TV series will be aired on April 22nd.

| They should use the wacky novel artstyle just for kicks |
| still less than 1 year but they announce it so soon |

(The guy's hair and eyes <3) The only thing that bothers me is the purple eyed girl's eyes... too big. I guess I'm expecting a Mio too much... ^^"" |

| After watching the S;G OVA I'm just spoiled on how good OVA side stories can be. I'll watch the main series though, sure. |
 |
| I think the TV series is going to be good! I hope it would be great! |
| Pretty far off from now since it's coming out in 2013 but I'm looking foward to this series next month. After watching the PV, it does look a little like K-ON being that it's from KyoAni. |

| more mystery |
jmal said: Anyway, Hyouka was obviously my #1 most anticipated show of spring, and it's nice to know there will be at least one episode beyond however many air on TV. Its been confirmed to be 21 episodes (yeah, I know thats a weird number but its starting late). |
|
| I thought this was going to be an Episode 0 which would have been nice since the first episode isn't airing until pretty late in the season. Oh well. |
 |
| As long as there is an equal amount of fanservice between the girls and the boys, I will be happy. |
| fanservice ? no...I don't want :( |
 |
| This actually looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to it, even the pool ep. ^^ But that PV... I thought it was a horror show at first. So much for repressed memories, NGE End of Eva DVD menu, lol... >.> |
jmal said: It also depends on how much/what kinds of fanservice. Cute girls in swimsuits in Hyouka? That sounds totally acceptable to me. If it turned into bikini mud wrestling with dissolving clothes and full nudity, maaaaybe that'd be over the top for a story that, as far as I can tell, isn't at all intended to be an ecchifest. =P And critical is whether it's executed well. This is so important... Uncreative, lazy, poorly drawn fanservice can be unappealing even in a show where one expects fanservice. Fanservice is so much better when effort is put into it. I find Nisemonogatari and Touka Gettan a lot hotter than, say, Maken-ki. That's so well said. Another good example is Hanasaku Iroha with the slight fanservice like Nako at that episode when she was swimming with her clothes on to save you know who and Ohana's bondage. Even though the show wasn't meant to be ecchi at all, they included some very nice fanservice moments. |
| I don't understand the hatred towards fanservice. It's not like it will be part of the TV series. If you don't want to see it, guess what? You don't have to. You wont miss a thing by skipping it. Also, fanservice is self-explanatory. I myself love animes that feature beach eps to change the mood/pacing, and just to see the chicks showing some skin. Steins;Gate for example is an anime I wish had atleast an OVA of it. Kurisu in a swimsuit sounds so delicious :D. Ruka in a swimsuit also? Many lawls could be had there. Fanservice is there to appeal to fans. Obviously since it's done so much it means it's popular in Japan, which by the way is the MAIN audience. Though TBH I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to see female characters in any show show skin. Anyway, this series looks to have amazing quality. As expected of KyoAni. Can't wait. |
