| Ahhhhhh I love all the designs we got for the characters!! The only one we’re waiting on now is Ooba. Gotta save the best for last I suppose hehe |
 |
| That's a dope looking visual. |
 |
| Poster looks worse than previous. |
| I thought this would be about a highly noble / royalty princess and her struggles during that time of the month! |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
VanishingKira said: Pray that it turns out good, very little faith in Seven Arcs as a studio. If it turns out good by chance it'll be through the source itself being good and Reiko Yoshida writing the scripts for this adaptation. Honestly, a lot of massive Blue Period fans (myself included) don't have a lot of faith in this turning out well. If it ends up being a 12-episode anime, which is most likely the case, I don't think it'll be able to pace itself properly and still cover everything in the first arc. Just been telling people to read the manga if they want to know the story, because it's a wonderful one |

I understand that you hyped this series because of the non-binary character, but you shouldn't bury the show ahead of time because of high expectations. |

| No Yakumo??????? I hope he makes it into the anime :( Also I hope Yatora remains as thiccc as he was in the manga lolollll There’s so much to live up to, the manga is amazing & took my breath away. So many beautiful & relatable scenes. Really looking forward♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |

I understand that you hyped this series because of the non-binary character, but you shouldn't bury the show ahead of time because of high expectations. I should be allowed to be concerned over the quality of an adaptation for a manga I like without you coming in to antagonize me about things unrelated to what I said. I did not hype it up because of the nonbinary character, I was informing people in previous threads about how it was handled because they were concerned themselves.The reason I like the manga because of the quality of story and the drama surrounding the emotions of its chracters, and I worry that the adaptation may not hit as hard emotionally. |

Judging by the way you passively-aggressively hooked on exactly this and ignored the main essence of my comment, this is a really sore spot for you. I have not said anywhere that this is the only thing that interests you, but you have no doubt read it that way. |
