It has been announced that an original TV anime series titled "Miss Monochrome" will start airing from October. The original character design came from seiyuu Horie Yui. In March 2012, she first used the "Miss Monochrome" character as a 3D virtual singer to sing her songs at her concert "Horie Yui wo Meguru Bouken III ~Secret Mission Tour~". Later, the character appeared in a range of merchandise as well as in the social network game "Girlfriend (Beta)".

According to the setting, Miss Monochrome loves only the monochrome style, dislikes all kinds of color, and always dreams about changing the world into her favorite monochrome color.

The anime is slated to be directed by Iwasaki Yoshiaki. Other staff and cast information has not been disclosed yet.

Miss Monochrome on MAL

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.

It'll probably end up being one of those three minute short series.

The character design looks nice. Feels like a short anime, but maybe because we know relatively little about plot details.

The world with only monochrome color is boring. I hope her personality is not as boring as her color choice XD

Haha yeah really, when your shtick is making things black and white that's kinda intriguing what they're gonna do personality wise.

Interesting though.

She'll most likely be a dandere, if she hates color, she might be on the quiet side.

The character looks awesome. It's Yui, so it's definitely going on my list.

I might erase it if it's short 3 minute episodes or something like that.

I hope they turn it into a full fledged series because the character looks awesome.

As long as it isn't one of those three to five minute episode long anime shows, and the graphics looking appealing like some of the artwork I have seen based on that girl, then me will so be watching this.

I love Horie Yui's voice when she is playing a character. I tend to like a lot of characters that are voiced by her.

I am excited for the original songs that Yui Horie will be singing for this anime.

This looks like a lot of fun. It would be fantastic if it was a full anime but I feel it might be a short.

I expected a typical mahou shoujo design, but this looks very shounen-ish. I do not have very high hopes for a TV-only (No manga) Anime, but I will give this one a chance.

^ Thanks for translating. The only snag is the position of the surname: In Horie's case it is placed last but in Fujiwara's case it is placed first.

If we keep it consistent and put all surname first, the list should be:
