I don't think people are watching barakamon on why he became a calligraphy artist.

Anyway boo

And yet that isn't what Handa-kun is all about.

Definitely gonna pick this up, but the whole country/quiet life thing Barakamon had was a huge part of the appeal for me, so I'm having trouble not being disappointed. :c

Whatever, still definitely worth a go.

Good stuff. This won't be set in the countryside though will it?

I hope they can instill the same kind of charm that Barakamon had, even if it's not the same relaxing rural setting.

Will definitely watch this. Loved Barakamon, and apparently this prequel is also pretty good.

Disappointed that it isn't a second season but more Barakamon is welcome anyway.

Nice! Loved barakamon!! would prefer a season 2, but im not at par with the manga so maybe not enough material for one?

Still if the quality remains, will be some pretty nice eps to chill and laugh :D

I've seen and read Barakamon and it was good and all but Handa-kun isn't. It's a prequel yes but not a good one. The Handa-kun manga is sort of bad. I hope they change some parts of Handa-kun and add new scenes. I'm afraid there is not much material in the manga to make an anime of.
Hope I'm wrong.
But no doubt this will be hilarious.

I hope his old peers are just as entertaining as Naru and company. If not, I'd rather they make a sequel to Barakamon.

Barakamon is my favourite anime and my favourite manga, Naru and Handa are my favourite characters. Thre is nothing in the series I did not love. I'm an avid reader of both Barakamon and Handa-Kun I cannot wait for the anime of Hanada-Kun.

It makes sense why they would adapt Handa-kun considering the prequel sells more than Barakamon.

Oh, this manga was so hilarious. I'm glad it is getting an adaptation. I'll miss Naru though.

High School setting then, gross

High School settings are fine but with Barakamon they arnt, id rather have a Season 2 of him in the village because the village setting was what made Barakamon so good and with this its bassicly taking everything that makes the original manga/show good out and injecting in a overdone, generic, setting

ill watch it i guess

I'm a bit excited but this means no Naru, don't it? :(
I would've preferred a season 2 to this...

Man, This is bad. We won't be seeing Naru anytime soon.
Well maybe Handa's child and teen age life would be interesting.
So I'll check the manga first, then watch the anime later.
Haters always gonna hate.
