According to the latest issue of Young Jump, manga "Gokukoku no Brunhild" will get an anime adaptation. The manga is written by Okamoto Lynn whose previous works include the sci-fi horror "Elfen Lied" and sports drama "Nononono." It started serialization in Young Jump in January 2012 and volume 6 is scheduled to be released on September 19th. At the moment, schedule, staff, and cast information is not yet available.

Gokukoku no Brynhildr 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.

Very nice synopsis. The manga is written by Elfen Lied's author no less, so I expect great thing from this.

Synopsis is quite intriguing and combined with those tags it really looks promising. Now to see who's behind animation and this could turn out really good, I guess.

Elfen Lied was really bad imo, so I'm not expecting too much from something of the same author.

I can always give it a try though.

Not too excited after reading the first chapter. Guess I'll watch Elfen Lied to see why's Okamoto Lynn so hyped.

Comparing to the Elfen Lied manga, the art is a real masterpiece here :D Awesome, I love EL, haven't read another so over the top gore and bloody manga yet. Characters were annoying, but the story by itself was pretty good, looking forward to check this one out.

I wonder if he improved his art style since EL. Synopsis is not in any way interesting, so I guess I won't bother checking it unless studio or staff pique my interest.

Oh, this manga.

I started it a while ago, and kind of forgot about it. There were some aspects I didn't really like. Like how it was a harem.

I haven't seen "Elfen Lied" yet, but since this dude is the creator of that manga and "Gokukoku no Brunhild", I have high expectations for this anime.

Brunhilde? Ponyo?



Brunhilde is the name of a Valkyrie in a legendary Icelandic epic poem known as the Volsunga Saga and a recurring figure and ideal in a lot of anime/manga/games but most well known in modern times as one of the principle characters in Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Basically almost any time there's a Valkyrie character in anything though odds are good it's Brunhilde and if you know anything about the lore of Valkyries you'd probably know what to expect from this series.

Might be worth watching as long as this one doesn't dwell too much into tasteless gore and violences like Elfen Lied does.

Great news.

I want to see Neko animated.

And it's quite different from Elfen Lied. Still has a significant amount of sci-fi nonetheless.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

People seem to only think of Elfen Lied, but don't forget the author also wrote Nononono and that one has zero gore, so it is not like the author is a gore specialist and you can only expect gore from him.
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?
