I honestly cannot believe how many mobile games are being adapted. I mean, come on, they're mobile games. I can understand VN and other games on more demanding platforms being adapted but I'm starting to think that this is ridiculous.

I think just goes to show how desperate the Nipponese are for quality content now... This mobile game will probably receive a mediocre adaption and only run for 12 episodes. It will never see new light again. It's as if they are being adapted to fill in gaps for this season, which is really funny as there are so many popular manga that both the Western and Nipponese community want adapted, such as Cage of Eden, Goblin Slayer, and Kingdom.

I just hope that the romance can redeem this case.

You asking that ?

Did you saw the VA cast ? Thats like female magnet. While west watch anime for ... whathever the hell, Nippon is more like "yeah lets watch it there is my favorite male/female idol/group/unit" and shit like that.

Cool looking key visual. PV cuts look good so far.

Nakamura as the lead is enough to make me watch this, but the cast is pretty interesting. It reminded me of Sengoku Night Blood at first, but I hope it'll be more interesting.

Quite alot, i guess mobile gaming industry trying to catch alot of viewers attention.

It's more profitable than current pc mmo

I mean yeah its a lot. I do understand its going a bit too much (I don't have anything against them, as long as they can provide something for my end I think I can enjoy to an extent).

But yeah I won't deny that it has gotten overblown a lot so.
