It has been announced that the game Rance 01 will receive an anime adaptation. The announcement was made via Twitter. Animation studio Seven will be in charge of the project.

The Twitter posts mention that the animation studio is currently recruiting staff for the project and that fresh talent is welcome to apply.

AliceSoft is an eroge publisher which has been active sine 1989. Rance 01 is a 2013 remake of the first Rance game, released in 1989. Rance follows the namesake hero who is tasked with finding and protecting the daughter of a guild owner; however, the case turns out to be much deeper than it initially appears to be.

I played the first Rance game. It's buggy and overall shit aside from the dialogue but I played and beat it. I've played all the translated Rance games to date and beat them including all alternate routes.

What? How is the first game buggy? It's short, linear and barely has any gameplay.

I hope Rance gets like 100+ episodes because he deserves them they shouldn't treat Rance like an H series to begin with.

After enjoying sengoku rance I went and started playing the older games(currently on the third one). Setting the porn and sex aside, the sense of humor is off the charts in the games. I love how his train of thought flows and his rational for all the messed up, yet mostly logical, things he does. I can not wait for this, I'm hoping its not a full fledge hentie. If it is I hope they don't focus to much on the sex, which the first game didn't have much real meaningful sex scenes anyways that could get toned down.

Rance 4.2 is actually not canon

It's interesting you say that when you consider that a character from 4.2 mentions events that only occurred in 4.2 during Sengoku Rance.

Yeah never mind, flawed memories... Kichikuou Rance is one of the non-canons, oops.

To further explain Rance's personality, he was once building a sand castle (Rance 4.2) and a kid stepped on his sand castle. The kids were killed.

Rance 4.2 is actually not canon, but it's true that Rance does not spare children. Think of Sengoku Rance and what happens to our little hime, he goes into a fit of rage there.

Yep, not to mention that there's a couple kid commanders in SR. Rance is the true king.
