| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I might give it a try. |
 |
| sounds pretty interesting and i usually enjoy slice-of-lifes so i might give this a shot when it comes out. |
 |
| Sounds like it'd be fun, unless the synopsis forgot to mention Yaoi or ecchi, I'll definitely give this a try. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Sounds decent enough for me to give it a shot. |
| :O "meet various INTERESTING people" Might watch it. :> |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sounds interesting. I like the cast. |
| Comedy Slice of Life with the director who directing some H anime? Interesting... might give it a try. for the sake of his ero |
 |
| This should pan out well. |
 |
| Will most likely watch since i love SoL. |
| Might be interesting + I love the cast :D Will check out. Someone should add the manga, because I don't see one on MAL, and it caught my interest. |
  |
| Might watch it as the premise sounds somewhat interesting. I don't see the manga entry on MAL either but given the fact that it's a slapstick gag manga, maybe it won't be a full 20-24 minute anime series but shorter. |
 |
| I'll consider watching it. I'm not too sure, though. |
| I would try it out. |
| that sounds really fun |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Not a huge fan of comedy but I will consider watching. Mabey based off the art and voice actors. |
| Anything with detectives is welcome in my book. :D |

| Does anyone else find it odd that an older series is being animated? From what I've seen, normally the manga that gets an anime adaption is relatively new, like the past 5 years. This one is 11 years old. Granted, it's still being serialized, but still... |
| Never heard of the animation studio and the art looks.... really funky. Considering that the manga seems to be virtually unknown I have a feeling this might be something that falls under the category of 'terribad'. Still, I'll give it a shot. |
| maybe..? |

BadAppleWhite said: why would that be odd? its not even the only old series to get adapted, jojo's first 2 volumes got adapted last year with the 3rd next and uchouten kazokuwas a adaption of a book released almost 10 years agoDoes anyone else find it odd that an older series is being animated? From what I've seen, normally the manga that gets an anime adaption is relatively new, like the past 5 years. This one is 11 years old. Granted, it's still being serialized, but still... its a really good thing that older things are being adapted, there are alot of gems long forgotten or left entirely untranslated that deserve their time to shine no matter how many years later Chibi-Alice said: I dont know if that would be a good thing, if everyone started flocking to adapt older series over new ones, then the industry would become stagnant and new ideas + originality would lowerBadAppleWhite said: Does anyone else find it odd that an older series is being animated?

Hopefully. if you want a good example of what would happen, go look at how hollywood turned out when they started just remaking and adapting older things from the 80's and 70's....its not pretty |

| Judging from studio it would be another 3-minute one |
 |
| Studio Seven... pass. Probably a short. |
Xinception said: Detective? Slice-of-life? If this actually pulls out something like Mushishi and gives us more insights on philosophy and stuff, then gents, we've found a winner. Look at the art, look at the shoujo tag, and read the synopsis. Now, you still think so? I'd rather have them animate shoujo romance instead ): |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| I might watch this~ |
  |
| It seems like it was going to be a short anime? |
 |
| Guess I'll try this one, SoL and synopsis sounds good so far. |
| might give it a try I don't dislike the synopsis |
| I might give it a try , it looks intersting. |

| Looks meh. |
Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |
| It seems like ZERO-SUM has been getting a lot of animes for their titles recently. Of course I'll watch it! |
| I am grateful that people often write "bare" when they mean "bear" and vice versa. Because it makes what they said even funnier. |
| Shoujo SOL? Seems interesting. |
| The cast sounds pretty good so far, I'll give it a shot. |
