Today, a wraparound jacket band on the third volume of "Junketsu no Maria" announced that its anime adaptation has been green-lit. Creator Ishikawa Masayuki's other work includes Moyashimon which got an anime adaptation back in late 2007.

The manga began serialization in 2008. It was published in good! Afternoon and ended earlier this year.

historical action seinen with a female MC? Yea... oh, wait, of course it has to be ecchi...

Guess I will pass on this :/
I probably regret this post by now.

Doesn't sound very intriguing in my opinion. :/

To my suprise, it is suprisingly interesting and the ecchi wasn't just cheap pantyshots. It's by the creator of Moyashimon as well, so I'd still say it's worth to check it.
Everyone constantly going on about her virginity is a bit annoying, though. However, still better than all the romcom/harem/fantasy/ecchi LN adaptions we get these days.

Today some bookstores already carried the manga vol.3. Hence the news is out today. Not really a leak.

This is a manga that has caught my eyes years ago, not least because he drew Moyashimon, and the subject is intriguing, though I cannot call myself as a fan of the art style... Would be more tricky to adapt to anime though, which is why I was slightly surprised when I saw the news on Japanese sites earlier today.

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 am excited. If it is anywhere as good as Moyashimon it will be worth watching.

Also we can hope for a complete adaptation since the manga ended.

Not really familiar with Moyashimon, but that and Junketsu both seem to have some pretty interesting settings. I'll likely give this a go.

It doesn't sound that interesting but I will maybe give the adaptation a try.

Okay, the Moyashimon creator being behind this is a slight bonus, though I'm still skeptical and will probably wait for some opinions once it starts airing. Somehow I dislike ecchi in historical settings particularly much :/

This sounds like it could be incredibly weird. My interest has been piqued.

It's ecchi so it should be worth a watch even though that synopsis is strange.

Sounds kinda bland. Other than the comedy, it doesnt seem like it has much to offer though i can be completely wrong since a lot of synopsis don't describe anime/manga well.

synopsis has been changed for those of who thought it was really weird before...which it was.
