My thought exactly

This

Because it actually has an interesting and dark plot and characters, the songs are good and its popular enough to make it animated. The only thing that connects this to Vocaloid is that Jin uses IA or sometimes Miku to sing the vocals.

The manga is a bit slow and hasn't covered the interesting parts yet, so I think it's better if the anime covers the novels or tries to follow the plot in its own style. It also depends if it's going to be 1 or 2-cour TV series, one or more OVAs or a movie.

They could release a CD with the seiyuus covering their characters' songs and everyone singing Children Record for example.

This the crossfade of the last album with Kana Asumi as Ene voicing the first half and Kana Hanazawa as Mary narrating the second half

No, it's not about Vocaloids. The Vocaloids are only doing the singing, the characters in the PVs, manga, and LN don't have anything to do with Vocaloids.

And yes, it has a plot. (I don't understand where your question comes from considering that there are a lot of Vocaloid songs with plot...)

Why not? Jin is currently the most popular vocaloid producer in Nico Nico, his songs dominate the weekly rankings, he's a first vocaloid producer to have a solo album debut in #1 at Oricon....... better question would be why stuff like this doesn't get animated more.

Still. Imo I would prefer more anime like Shingeki no Kyojin to come out , the epicness in this industry lowered considerably in the last years.

Then you should check out the KagePro anime, because it's going to be a lot darker and more original than what you'll expect.

Love Shaft and really hyped to see this animated by them, but still have the problem on how long Shaft takes to announce release dates, making my head hurt with anticipation! >.<

I hope they aired 'that' part on August 14. The

( this time literally) endless loop

First discovered this in December while lurking through IA songs. Last year Mary is the only one comes into my mind. But as I look deeper : Momo, Hibiya, Ayano

Okay, who do you think mostly suitable for Ayano? She is not exactly deredere but I can't quite get a grasp on who I should hope to voiced her.

There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it.

This do have a plot. And a dark one too. Prepare to shed some manly tears.
