| Holy shit this is awesome on a stick. First Bakemonogatari and now this. What's next, Zaregoto? Then agian, that may be too awesome to animate but hey, this is great news~ |

Plate said: Read the article again, this time with glasses on /sulks in corner. Well...I'm sure it'll be good anyway. |
|
| I'm liking the sound of this. |

| I'm thinking it will come out late winter or middle spring :) anyone agree? |
 |
| I'll be looking into this one for sure. The art style confuses me, I'm not sure if I like it or if I don't... Who knows they may draw the show completely different, even if they don't it might look better animated and whatnot. |
 |
| Sounds like it'll be worth checking out |
  |
| I just hope that the character designs of the anime won't be like the ones on the novel cover. |

Kira01 said: Even though I know it's a personal taste this, take (the artist for Katanagatari and Zaregoto) is very talented and popular in japan, so in all likely hood, it will be something like that.I just hope that the character designs of the anime won't be like the ones on the novel cover. |

| Horrible director but if Bakemonogatari and Medaka Box is any indication Nishio Ishin will give him great source material to work with. |
| Not impressed with other works of this director but I hope this one's good. |
     |
| The director is not my favorite but hoping this anime be a decent show |
| Looking forward to this. Even if it ends up being a bust, at least it's short. |
| Depending on the seiyuu cast, I might or might not watch it.. |
|
| Too bad it will last for whole year :/ It really looks promising. |
| must see this one |
| sounds intresting^^ |
| Wow the trailer seemed amazing and the music was very good indeed..... The weird socket-less eyes put me off a little but the trailer changed everything...want to watch :( .Airs on 25th...too late. All the awesome animes are airing like the end of the month.. |
