| Breeding, not bleeding, I hope? >.> A dragon breeder is fine, a dragon bleeder is a bit disheartening. Does sound kinda neat though. If it's quality like Seirei I'm sure it will deliver. |
Asako said: Breeding, not bleeding, I hope? >.> A dragon breeder is fine, a dragon bleeder is a bit disheartening. Does sound kinda neat though. If it's quality like Seirei I'm sure it will deliver. Oops, corrected. Thanks. This novel is not related to Uehashi sensei's "Moribito" series, but it's highly rated by the readers. The anime will also be a good one, I believe. |

| That sounds pretty good. I still have to finish SnM though. Good news! |

| Another anime to look forward to~ |

| I'm cautiously optimistic about this. On one hand Seirei no Moribito was pretty good, on the other hand Seirei no Moribito had Balsa which made it infinitely better than it would've been without her. So unless this new series has a better story than Moribito or has a character or characters the level of Balsa I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to watch 50 episodes of it. |
| was she adopted by by someone or is this a scifi series and she actually was adapted? any chance of changing apiarist to bee keeper? don't think most ppl know what an apiarist is. can someone add this to the database? i'm not sure how to. |

| prolly just letting OCD get to me, but shouldn't it be tho honestly there are still sections of this that make no sense to me and would need to be altered by someone who had actually read the book(s). |

| Ok jacobpaige, let's work on this somewhere else. Check my comment on your profile page. |

| so great! I simply loved SnM! I hope this anime is good as SnM was! |
 |
| Oh wow, FUCKING AWESOME CREDENTIALS ARE FUCKING AWESOME Where's Shinichiro Watanabe? |
| Production I.G. + nice staff working on this? Cool. I haven't seen SnM yet (shame on me D:) but I look forward to this one! |
 |
| This is pretty awesome news, however, I didn't really like Sisters of Welber or Toshokan Sensou all that much so I'm a bit hesitent, but otherwise optimistic. I do wonder though if they are ever gonna animate the rest of the Moribito novels. |
 |
| Oooo!!! Seirei's author! :D Probably gonna be great. |
     |
| OMG... HEROINE story... sign me up!! I am EXTREMELY fond of female protasgonist in adventure series....(not only in anime like Juuni Kokki, Seirei no Moribito, Toshokan Sensou but I do actually read books from Tamora Pierce for instance...) You just made my day! (1000% watch for sure!) edit: OMG OMG Jamuary 2009?!!? That's in less than 3 months!!!! I thought it would be in two years or something....I think I'm so excited that I can't sleep tonight.... |

| since i liked SnM a lot, i won't let this one pass XD |
| watching it 100%. :D |

Washi said: Why isn't Kenji Kamiyama directing this one? He's the best director IG has (or had?). Multiple anonymous sources said Kamiyama-san is now working on the production of But I worry about the tight schedule of Production I.G. in 2009. They have Sengoku BASARA, Oshii's new movie, this Kemono no Soujya, and the possible Kamiyama's new anime. I think they will outsource a lot. |

| I'm excited, and I can't wait til it comes out. In the meantime, I think I'll try to track down the book... |

| Sounds nifty, I'll give it a try when it comes out. ... The Beast Player should be added as an alternative title... that's what I searched for when I was trying to find it - since ANN lists that as a title. |

| I'm not sure about that. It's just that ANN lists that as one of the titles... and I know when searching for a series on here I usually use the translated title because it's easier for me to remember. Other people might be like that as well and not find it at first. |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
