Oh well, anything they need to add for an anime (unless this turns out well done... Which is unlikely considering the other adaptions and all the risks) may easily result in toulove taking a(nother) big hit in popularity. But this makes it interesting to find out how they'll be handling all these things in the adaption.
Just when I thought it's weird that the anime won't air until next year, which would indicate that their decision was made too late, there's actually one adaption scheduled for this year as well, so they probably didn't wait tha~t long after all. They're probably too late even with both adaptions, but then again, even if they had made their move earlier, it might have just made things worse faster (unless this started with an anime, but then it wouldn't have turned out to be as popular as it did).

Can't wait to see my Doutanuki❤ to be animated!!!*exicted*


Yay, another Doutanuki fan! I thought he'd be the favorite here, because I saw fan art of him the most, but it seems like everyone else is looking forward to other guys more xD


Woaa, ur Doutanuki fan too? great, me too xD
nah, he's not that popular and strong compare to other...but, I still like him the most(especially his design char & personality, looks more manly and really cool lol)

Does Ufotable know that people just want to see Heaven's Feel?

Anyway it should be entertaining nonetheless.

Then the one who write the script of the ufotable series will be Urobutcher. I'm hype for this but my expectations isn't really high. I just hope to see Tsurumaru, Ichigo, and Hotarumaru in here. For the saniwa, I hope they don't make her become a useless girl.

I thought UFOtable was supposed to be good? UBW was, despite its flaws, beautiful animation wise.

Ufotable has not done anything good in years. UBW was complete trainwrecky ass, God Eater is beyond ass, their new projects sound like ass.

UBW looked okay(sometimes), but the animation budget was wasted and mismanaged most of the times. Animation budget =/= visually well looking product. You can draw the best backgrounds, but if cinematography, choreography and directing can't hold up to them, it means jack shit.

bobzanny said:

They are banking on it selling anyway. It will be shit quality but the fanboys will eat it up. UBW already was ridden with issues due to multiple projects being worked upon and it being on lowest priority. Now HF is going into even worse situation than that.


Ufotable is a factory. Not an art studio. Not an animation studio. A corporate factory

Ufotable seems to have many projects planned already, including the Fate Grand Order. There will be announcements for that on the last day of AnimeJapan 2016. I wonder how they are going to budget this, when they have not released HF yet.

Not sure how this anime will turn out, but technically the characters are swords, and they're brought to life by the owner and appear completely human-like.
ingame they don't swing their swords at each other. Enemies' swords like this are what they'll be swinging their swords at

different Production committee so different money for each project, what is worrying is how are they schedule all this but they 2 studios and they were hiring last year so they can probably handle it.

Its easy to push out Products(tm) when you barely put any attention or effort into them. Just throw money at slave labor and have them punch out episodes in time. It will be fiiiiine.

Naaah.

If anything, depending on what the fall series and whatever the UFOtable project is, they could do anything from either an otome version where the saniwa is a girl and has a cast of bishonen to something like Hakuoki(the two guys on the tv announcement are supposed to be Souji Okita's swords) or even Fate(since basically the cast are human versions of famous Japanese swords) or even a slice of life series.

Nah,
most likely it won't have any.

Worse case scenario it'll be just some hint here and there for service.
Ie; a certain sword boy who keep talking about "Kane-san this Kane-san that".

Most of fans just thought it will be like...
Starting with:
"Here, your sugar intake on sword boys daily life at peace. It's heartwarming, right?" (Hanamaru)

Then turn into;
"Broke that sword, and that one too. Oh, this one can used some scrap. Night raid, bring the Yari please." (Ufo ver)

Didn't realise there's this many saniwa crawling about in a place like MAL ^o^
Damn, what a great time to be alive.

Funny how the face of Touken Ranbu Ufotable ver. is Jiji, when they have "worthier" swords like Juzumaru. I wonder if new swords like him, Higekiri, Hizamaru and Fudou would be there too.

I feel like the first sword to break in these anime is Kashuu ;-;

I am not fudanshi so i need good reason[Read : Female Character] when watching harem boys like Touken Ranbu

To be honest i like design character & art quality from Touken Ranbu characters but it just i can't resist to watch show with only have bishouen & yaoibait

That's why I'm a little envious with female audience which can enjoying this show

I understand not wanting to watch straight up Yaoi anime, but avoiding everything with bishounens seems a bit ignorant. Do you also avoid every single anime from Shoujo or Josei genre just because it's aimed at females? It's your choice, but you're missing out on many good things that way. Besides, your gender doesn't dictate things that you enjoy.

This doesn't even have reverse harem tag nor a shounen-ai one, so calling it Yaoi bait and harem boys just because of bishounen design sounds like you're jumping the gun.

Oh I see, I can relate to that problem too. Whenever I see a good a anime and to find it having ecchi and moe geared towards male audience, I'm kind of disappointed since I'm missing something out.

I doubt these anime have yaoibait though since the game isn't like that to begin with. Also, a reverse harem is the last thing I want from this anime.

It doesn't matter who those people are. From a financial stand point there is no point in continuing that art style that literally exhausted their budget and staff members. There is a reason why the show got delayed every week as well as getting the second part months apart.

It isn't viable to continue that art style.

They used a technique called cel-shading right? And if I get my facts right, it costs quite a lot. Though I definitely loved the art style because it reminded me of Guilty Gear, I would definitely agree that there's literally no point in ufo using that art style again if it would not bring them profit.
