| Watanabe Shinichiro, Kanno Yoko, and NoitaminA? Oh man. Also, the new studio seems to also be involved in the unreleased Kon film... |
| "I may be liberal arts to the core, but I am capable of thinking logically." |
| I already wanted to watch it by seeing the picture Wow, the animation looks so good! and finally something more down to earth in the noitamina block. |
| April is going to be amazing. I really hope this show doesn't disappoint, but god looking at all it has going for it I can't even see how it could. It looks amazing, it's going to sound amazing, and the direction will be amazing. The manga won an award recently, the genres are sexy, so... like if this can't succeed, I don't even know what can. Did I say 'amazing' enough in this post? |

| Fuck, the trailer looks quite nice. And then I saw noitaminA ;_; No wonder I got that "This seems good but I have a feeling it will be shitty" vibe. |

| This looks amazing and kinda has a oldschool feel. |

| Well, this anime just got a whole lot more interesting. Will be looking forward to it. |

I mean, if you're interested, the airing block shouldn't matter. The production staff is the important thing as opposed to the airing block, though. |

| Definitely going to watch... Yoko Kanno, Watanabe Shinichiro, noitaminA, an interesting story, what else can I ask? |
| I'm the king... of Fujoshi Land!! |
| Went from meh to interesting. |
 |
| I'm down...with staff like that it can't be bad. |
| Ok™ |
| That looks... really interesting. |

Honey and Clover, Nodame Cantabile, Tatami Galaxy, AnoHana, Mononoke, Eden of the East, Kuchuu Buranko, House of Five Leaves, Wandering Son, Usagi Drop - awful, awful shows. Anyway, Watanabe's back?! Yeah, I'd say that's cause to celebrate. =) And won't it be airing alongside Nakamura's new title? If so, Spring 2012 may just be the best noitaminA block since Tatami Galaxy and House of Five Leaves. |

Let's take a look at only noitaminA's 2011 titles, shall we? Above average: Anohana, Wandering Son, Usagi Drop Average or below average: Fractale, C, Guilty Crown, Un-Go, No.6, Thermae Romae, Black Rock Shooter Now do you understand his concern? noitaminA has been getting worse since 2011. BRS hasn't even aired yet and you are commenting on it's quality? Also Thermae Romae is amazingly hilarious. |

Each of those shows were unique and offered something fresh to the anime world. Especially "Eden of the east" that show alone made me raise me standards of what I saw as quality anime. |

| Hey, looks interesting. Might watch. |
| .... Watanabe Shinichiro... Yoko Kanno... together, once again, working on a project. I never thought I'd have a practical use for this magnificent image I "borrowed" from someones blog but... |

Then I will change that to very likely to be below average based on the trailers, staff, and studio. Either way, it's undeniable that 2011 was noitaminA's worst year yet. I hope they turn around and go back to their roots. Regardless, as has been said, noitaminA is a time slot not a studio, and the people who are working on this are people with undeniable talent who would have to work hard to make something awful. Not saying that it is outside the realm of logical thought for this to be bad... but they'd have to be working at it. Not to mention josei anime are almost always amazing, and noitaminA's are no exception. Nodame, Kuragehime, Usagi Drop... Iunno I think this has enough potential to at least warrant the benefit of the doubt. You can scream at me in April if it sucks. |

| oh ok, carry on then |
| holy crap!!! it's the perfect combo, again!! it's going to be freaking awesome!! |
| "I think thats why I'm so attracted to you.. You're infectiously sanguine." |
| Im sooooo gonna watch this! super excited. |
| Watanabe Shinichiro and Kanno Yoko That's all i needed to hear! ^________^ |
dtshyk said: Watanabe Shinichiro and Kanno Yoko will work together for the first time in 12 years since Cowboy Bebop movie. Baby Blue (Genius Party, 2007). Anyway, that sounds very promising. |
 |
| Sounds awsome, looks awsome~ It's a must watch! |
 |
| The return of good anime? This better not disappoint. |
 |
| Holy fucking shit. This'll be fucking awesome. FUCK! |
| more interested in it |
 |
| Oh god, this is gonna blow my mind now. Can't wait for the spring season. |
| This, along with Ozuma , will make Spring a retro season. |
| I'm officially hyped. Though, I'm not too sure about the script writers. I mean, what I've seen of Persona 4 so far (okay, only one episode, but stfu) was pretty shit. Chihayafuru is okay, though. But, wow, the trailer looks awesome, and Yoko Kanno with jazz theme should be enough reason to watch this. |
| IT'S GREAT !! YES ! YES ! YES ! |
 |
| Josei is not my genre, but I'll definitely watch this. Seems like from April, the real deal starts! |
| >Another Josei in noitaminA timeslot. DO WANT!! |
