| Don't what to think about the manga novel. (It's a novel please correct it) But since it's Production I.G, I'll watch. |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Looks like a pretty solid cast. Looking forward to this one! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Kawai Kenji uuuuhh juicy |
 |
| The staff is looking good. I have some expectations from this one. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This is gonna be good. |
 |
| Every new thing they reveal I kinda get less hyped about this but I'll give it a try anyway. |
 |
| will watch this! |
| This does sound quite interesting, looking forward to it! |
 |
| A departure from the usual anime, but this one seems interesting and it's an actual novel adaptation like Hibike Euphonium so it should turn out better than a typical LN adaptation. |
 |
| I thought Jirou was the main character in the story like in the movie, but I guess that was something that was changed from the novel. Will be interesting to see how the anime differs with the movie. |
 |
| I am more looking forward to music part instead of the actual story. |
 |
| Looking good, voice cast and staff are kinda accetable. Is there any who read the manga.... It worth? |
 |
| Mmmh...meh. Not sure about this. |
| After reading the synopsis i will definitely watch this one |
 |
| Have had high hopes for this one since its announcement - I hope we get a PV soon. The cast looks really nice. |

| Great cast. Looking forward to this anime. It will be awesome !!! BaitOfJustice said: Very good cast (except Yuuki Kaji). Looking forward this. Why ? Yuki Kaji is a great Seiyuu. |

FedeBankai said: Valkata said: Great cast. Looking forward to this anime. It will be awesome !!! Why ? Yuki Kaji is a great Seiyuu. Agree, dunno understand why many plebs hate him ( ಥـْـِـِـِـْಥ) Yeah, well there is a lot of hate for things most people like. Like OPM, now it appears Kaji Yuuki is a target without any reason. Kaji is great, love his voice. |
Valkata said: BaitOfJustice said: Very good cast (except Yuuki Kaji). Looking forward this. Why ? Yuki Kaji is a great Seiyuu. He has some good roles (that antisocial guy from Haikyuu or Walker from Durarara), but his voice overall is really annoying. The fact that he is pretty much in every anime announced doesn't helps.

stand said: Valkata said: now it appears Kaji Yuuki is a target without any reason. lol please you're like 3 years off with this incorrect assumption he started being a target for hate since he voiced Shu in Guilty Crown immediately followed by the fatty in Accel World whose name I cannot even care to remember I, for one, hope that one day we'll see an anime voice announcement without his name in it. Maybe one day! Well I haven't seen these series, but even if he did bad on these roles (I don't know), I still think that hating him for some role years ago, is stupid. |

Samii said: malki said: #SoundPollution Didn't realize he screamed that much. I don't recognize if he were screaming or he was constipated .. Anyway.. Thx guys for remembering me of GC... Now my nightmares about Inori's death came back ;_; |
|
| My ears will be pleased |
| Man, Taku Kishimoto sure is busy, huh? Right now he's doing the scripts for Haikyuu S2, then next season he's doing Boku Dake ga Inai Machi and Prince of Stride, and in Spring he's doing the new Magi anime and now this. Damn dude, don't overwork yourself on those scripts! Anyway, this looks interesting. Mighty be cool, might suck ass, who knows. Only time will tell. Decent cast too, and Kenji Kawai doing the music is always a plus. |
| That A+ cast I'll watch it just for the VAs |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| I sure hope this show actually pulls off a compelling mystery story. My expectations are rather low after watching Ranpo Kitan, Sakurakou and Perfect Insider... Please be better than those. |
 |
| Looks cool reminds me of Baccano. Nice to see Nakai Kazuya and Tsuda Kenjirou in that cast. |
| Looks really good :X |
