Cringed at the title reminds of Dragonar, then double cringed at kyoani.
But Masumi Itou, fhana & yuri could save it.

It looks like Lucoa is getting an increase in screen time, cause I can't think of any other reason why she'd be singing in the theme song. Compared to Tooru (In love with Kobayashi), Kanna (looks up to Kobayashi as a mother), and Elma (Kobayashi's kohai at work and might be in love with her), her role is "lady who occasionally shows up at Kobayashi's house to drink coffee and regularly attempt to seduce a little boy for room and board."

I just hope that they adapt chapters 19, 28, and 38 (Though that last one only applies if Iruru shows up), since those have the sweetest moments in the series.

One question... I do not really get what you mean by "wrong with anime" quotation... that always ticks me off at least for this. It looks pretty harmless for me (maybe for the big tits I can see it in a sense but this seems fine).

In this case Physics defying breasts, "moe" aesthetic, etc.
The design reminds me of phantom world which was easily one of most degrading things to come out of anime in long time.

i don't know what do you mean by yuri queerbait, but this series has MC who explicitely love another character despite same gender.. it does still one sided soo far from original source however since kobayashi not interest to them sexually... kobayashi still made her yuri harem thou... so it's not even related who will adpted this.. except they chose to go original route, which i really doubt it...

Kyoani never does actual lesbians. They only bait. They create bait. I fully expect them to add some highschool protagonist into this and tone down any yuri stuff to only bait. Because it is Kyoani.

The entire Physics with the entire Breast thing that I can understand to SOME extent (then again realistically it doesn't bug me) ... But the moe asthetic? I don't even get it though I do think depending on how it looks like it just goes here and there for people. Then again, I'm a person who personally LOVES the Moe asthetics a lot so.

And as for the baiting part I don't really know, then again if you talk about for example Hibike, yeah they bait a lot but if this was intended to be a Yuri or Shoujo Ai then I don't really see the point in changing stuff.

It's really yuri! I've read the manga and it's listed as yuri in the dynasty reader

But the only canon pairing is in elementary school.

That said, something seems... off about Tooru's design. The head is normally larger and the arms and legs slightly thinner. Eh... I'll get used to it.

And Rukoa should technically be romanized as Lucoa (since it's short for Quetzalcoatl).

That character design is so butchered compared to the manga.

already following this series for long and uptodate to it, i don't see any particulary wrong with character design... the even fixing some unproportional part from his first design... sure it's lost plenty of detail, but that because this what will become in animated form... what do you even expect?

did people just really spout out something just because they dislike the one who made it? make me remember koe no katachi and demi-chan wa kitaritai..

Fai said:
The character design pretty much sums up a LOT of what is wrong with anime...

Also Kyoani. So basically full of queerbait and no pay off? Good to know that this is safe to skip.

>it's not appealing to me, it's dies!

HOLY SHIT KYOANI IS ADAPTING A YURI MANGA

I never imagined KyoAni will be the studio that'll animate this. I'm honestly surprised. Well let's see how this goes then.

It is yuri but more comedic and for the most kinda onesided.

Tooru (the dragon/maid) is openly into Kobayashi. But Kobayashi is usually rather deadpan/doesn't really know how to react/is the straight man in the comedy routine.

And there are other yuri characters.

Thanks for letting us yuri fans know. I would have otherwise ignored this anime entirely.

Well said, comrade.

Violet Evergarden i think would be perfect for spring lineup since usualy thats the season when we get the best ones^^ Well atleast thats what i hope cuz dont wanna wait any longer for it :P

Kyoani takes their time and Wouldn't be surprised is Violet Garden is a movie instead

Doubt that, after all VEG is a collection of short stories something like mushishi, so I bet it's gonna be a tv series.

That character design is so butchered compared to the manga. Don't know what I expected considering it's KyoAni.
Not looking forward to this at all though, looks dumb and a big roadblock in the way of Violet Evergarden.
