It was announced at the Meiji Tokyo Renka ~Haikara Roman Gekijou 2~ fan event that the game "Meiji Tokyo Renka (Mei Koi)" has an anime project planned. Details about the anime project will be coming soon.

Official game site: http://www.meikoi-psp.com/

Synopsis from vndb:
"Ayazuki Mei (our heroine) was pulled thrown into Meiji era by some strange magic. Fujita Gorou found her loitering around the Rokumeikan Hall (since it's where the high officials held their ball). She was about to be arrested but then an elite official named Mori Ougai claimed that she was his fiancée. Thus she was brought to his mansion and was told that she can stay whether just for a year or even for 10 years. Then, a romantic love story in a grandeur era begins..."

This game started as mobile game and got adapted into a drama CD series. Later, the game made it to the PSP platform.

I want to see HoshiMemo adaptation too but that's probably won't ever happen.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I think there has always been talk why the game has not yet got animated, so finally here it is.
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.

Not really interested due to the whole Fushigi Yuugi feel to it. Too many time-traveling reverse harems have popped up since that.

I just hope it doesn't turn out to be just another lame ona or ova like the other otome game anime adaption that I was looking forward to. Hopefully it turns into a real tv series or I'll be a bit upset with otome games turning into anime.

Will this be another one of those reverse harem where the female protagonist will have no personality at all, and for some reason every other hot dudes fall for the heroine, and have the need to save her?

Recent otome game adaption had been awful. Why can't we have shoujo romance instead. I don't know why people are buying these otome game anime adaption instead of a better quality shoujo romance anime..

Since this is Broccoli, I hope they won't reduce the heroine into a walking doormat like what HuneX, Sylph and Otomate are doing.

Haruka(UtaPri) actually has a personality. I don't want some awesome badass heroine. Just give me a heroine who isn't a doll which just says 'yes' or 'no'.

And last but not least, hope this doesn't turn out to be some OVA like Juuza Engi(Grrrrr! Still mad about that!)

It's unfortunate but shoujo manga fans don't buy anime. :(

Sadly yes it was that anime if it was based on the heroine with cat like ears, and wasn't some weak heroine. I was looking forward to that anime, but once news was released on it being it an ona/ova my need to watch it dropped.

Well, I'll still watch it but I know now for sure that it'll be butchered. And yes, one of the things I was looking forward to was Kan'U(hopefully they won't remove her strong personality in the anime).

Where is my third UtaPri season >_< I'd rather watch it.

Well, seiyuu list is quite nice, probably will end up watching it anyway. Hope there is no open ending and heroine with some character... After BroCon doll I will accept anything, sigh.

Sometimes I don't know if I will be happy or sad about otoge's turning anime since most of them doesn't do the original material justice. Most of them go on the general route, leaving the heroine look like she was playing with the guys' feelings and then can't decide.Things happen too abruptly and sometimes you just wonder how romance can get in place. I understand that there are time restrictions, but still... I just look at otoge turned anime as promotionary material to make viewers interested to go and check out the game.

I know it's supposed to be because she's supposed to be relatable to the audience(women) but how come we can't have a smart female MC when it comes to otome/male harem type of series? I mean look at UtaPri, Haruka is quite intelligent enough that she can compose pop songs, but she basically looks stoned whenever one of the Starfish confesses their feelings to her. I liked Chizuru in Hakuoki, but all she does is basically serve as fodder for rescue mostly(though she did spy for the Shisengumi). And the chick in Amnesia is as smart as a box of cathair. It feels . . . rather tiring.

I'm sure most audience(women) want to see a buttkicking, smart woman who also gets any man she wants. Saiunkuoku is the only series like this where the female MC was as smart and terrific as the males were....

And this applies to reverse harems too: Most leads of these type of series are even dumber than a Kardashian.

Because Otoge series are gender-swapped otaku harem series, that's why.

Otaku harem MCs aren't exactly known for being interesting either.

I'd rather play the otoge than watch the anime of it; but since I can't actually play the game, looks like I don't really have a choice.
I'll probably watch for the sake of the cast. Tori!! \(^w^)/ Kenn!! \(^w^)/ (And junjun + tachinbana and namidai! :'D)
---
As as for the discussion with main heroines, I'd like to note that I liked the heroine from wand of fortune... uh, Lulu or something. She was independent and useful and she wasn't pathetic, unlike the rest of her otomate counterparts =w= (or at least, she was like that in the Lagi route...hehe )

And it is not just Japan. Korea, Taiwan, South east Asia.... Perhaps it is time to see how culture can move and leave you behind.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?
