I like the novel and the manga versions, BUT when I saw the character design on the official site... GAINAX will be turned into GAYNAX or what? Poor Dalian, look at her... she's like an old hag ._. Huey made good, but not the girl... Geez, now I hope GAYNAX won't troll this...

Yes but this year they

a) Searched for additional artist to make some new series. And detailes about what should he draw was very similar to this plot
b) Was announced that it would be ecranization of story about "boy and girl who would collect the books"
c) Was announcedd that details would be given on the end of June in The Sneaker anime-magazin

So I'm giving 90% that they would make it. I'm ready to even bet on it. So let's wait for June 30 for details ;)

I don't think so.

Gainax only make 1-2 anime each year normally and they are already working on Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt, possibly alongside another project, so I don't see them making this. I don't think that Gainax have ever animated a light novel series either (the FLCL novel and anime ran pretty much at the same time). Almost all of their work up to now has either been original or adapted from a manga

Seven arcs might be a possibility since they created Asura Cryin' (one of the previous posters mentioned hey have the same author), but I am almost certain it won't be Gainax.

Good grief! I don't wan to wait for Baka-Tsuki novel translation anymore since this series is stalled.
