I don't even care what other people think anymore I'm so stoked. Perhaps it might be a bit generic but I don't mind that, I like it!

I have no fucks to give about any dislike at the moment anyway, I'm just so happy it is ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A THING. Ah man, so excite, so excite.

I am proud to say that I saw this news while on my lunch break at work and immediately embarrassingly gasped and squeeled in front of my coworkers.

I AM SO EXCICTED. Best news of the year imo!!!

At the end of the KyoAni decided to do an anime with the guys from the swim club, I could not believe when I read the news, it seemed like a joke! Now fujoshi most hardened can thank for having fulfilled one of their dreams! I'm curious, I want to see me too! XD

I didn't think this would become an official anime, I thought it was just a commercial showing that KyoAni can draw something other than moe girls. Hopefully it won't turn out to be a train wreck.
And what's with all the feminine names?

Having said that, I'm actually pretty excited for this! Can't wait for July! :D

alienating their typical fanbase

I don't understand why this concerns people. If someone who likes KyoAni shows doesn't like the premise of one, they can just not watch it. They can watch other stuff in summer and come back for the next show (Kyoukai in this case) .

I meant that from a business perspective alienating their typical fanbase is a huge risk. It wouldn't be so if this was an adaptation of some kind, but this is an original anime. Couple that with the fickle nature of the target audience and you have a gamble there. That's why I was asking symbv if he knew what the reactions were in Japan, as if the reception of the PV was as well received as here in the West the decision to animate this would be far more understandable.

I looked into the light novel this is based on, and the author's name is Ooji Kouji.

So do I take this to mean the author is male (in which case, let's be honest, there's probably not much intentional BL subtext in the source material), or is it a female using a masculine pen name...?

I don't get why boys are always so angry when an anime is directed at women, like girls are not allowed to like things or smth

probably most of the boy your talking about just spent a whole day behind the screen of their pc, but the way they call a bunch of men in a swimming team "gays" or "homo" prove the fact that they haven't have any contact beyond outside

Everyone who is speculating about this anime becoming reality because of fan reaction to the CM (be it from western or eastern fans): there is literally absolutely no way for an anime to go from preliminary concept stages to a full-fledged production on the airwaves within a mere four months.

They've had this planned for ages, it's just a coincidence (or carefully planned marketing) that the CM got such a reaction a month before the official announcement.

Some for sure, but not nearly so overwhelmingly. Males have a much harder time accepting this sort of thing, and are much louder about declaring their heterosexual credentials. Even if nobody asked, or cares, in the first place.


I believe most "fangirls" tend to be alot louder about their "fangirlism" than these guys.
we even seen this example many times that it's become a fact.

Eh.. I wonder if I should apologize for my huge rant there. I'm not homophobic or anti KyoAni or anything, because you know what? We all hate some things for no reason. Not everyone justifies everything they don't like. There isn't always a logical reason.

Either way, I'm sorry if I offended anyone with what I said. I can be insanely blunt about things, and it was something I wanted to clear off my chest. Butthurt, asshurt, homophobic, perhaps I was the former two (but I know 20000% that I'm NOT a homophobic) and I'm sorry for that.

Oh, if it makes you all feel any better, I have one full page of yaoi fanart on my Tumblr, read a yaoi lemon once and looked up Kawoshin art on google images before Kaworu even appeared on Eva. I don't hate yaoi, I hate the majority of fujoshis and fanbase and a lot of themes of yaoi.

TBH you have nothing to apologize for, its your opinion, everyone has theirs, no one can strip you from yours, i respect you because of your highself esteem, so keep it that way and don't go submissive deredere on me please.

also, ignore all this "its gay" or "omg u homophobe" (i hate how people are throwing around that word just like that) comments, i hate how twisted the meaning has become, and i hate how people make assumptions as if they know the reason a person dislikes or likes something, i'm honestly indifferent to this, but i've seen high amount of stupidity in this thread from both parties.


>submissive

I'm not a typical shoujo heroine I'm a fucking magical girl I'm independent and if I wanna go out saving the world or killing witches to get bitches then I will.

I've been called homophobe before when I would talk about my distaste for yaoi. I'm used to it. I just wanted to clarify that I'm not in case others got that impression.

@jmal
as Umeko already explained, most people dislike the concept of homosexuality as a fetish, i'll admit it, i dislike homosexuality as a fetish, i truly do, but do you think i'd go around hating on actual homosexual people? do you think i'd go around calling someone a "faggot" or "dyke"?
No, i would never do that, i respect homosexuals as human beings, and i'm sure the majority of us here do, but Yaoi and homosexuality as a fetish is something else.

if people are gonna act immature and call people homophobes for silly reasons, so be it.

KyoAni will deeply miss your financial contributions you have made in the past.

Im only a client not an investor one in thousands. But they are doing series, so if they have no viewers and they dont sell dvds or at least getting popular in tokyo mx or sun tv, they regret for sure :) . I hope that they fail again as it happened with Tamako. It could be a success, but i hope not.

I lasted four pages of this thread until I gave up and vomited.

It's both amusing and pathetic just how angry people are about this anime even existing.

I, for one, am going to watch it once it airs, and mostly likely enjoy it.

You know what's retarded? Saying that an anime that hasn't even aired yet is plotless or "so gay it hurts" or hating something because it's loved by fujioshis or targeted at women, or plainly hating something for no reason at all.

Yeah, it is stupid to hate something for no reason. I know because I do it. But we all do stupid things and think stupid things and we all don't have logical reasons for hating what we do. Sometimes we just do. I'm sorry if that offends you.

that's one of the least things to except from this anime in all truth.


anyways,
if see one more stupid/offensive/pointless post again, i'm going to ask the moderators to lock the thread and hope they do.

i swear, if i see more "this is gay", or "fujoshit", or "moefags" or "is homophobe" or "sukmyrosedoodkyoanifans" comments...

better get your shit together people.

Moe, is a subjective term. I.e. if it is moe to the person then it is moe.

I'll watch it, I don't mind fujioshit shows but the western audience is just plain bad. You can just go to tumblr and see what I am talking. They ruin comics, they ruin manga, and they ruin western cartoons. They have yaoi goggles on at all times. The way they type is so obnoxious. Why do they have to include emoticons after every other word? And they try to be random at all times. Guess they are just stuck back in 2007. Someone should make an internet guide for them.

Watching for the bishies. Not expecting much at all.

If it pulls good animation then it might not be half bad.
