An anime adaptation for the Hana-Doll* 2.5D idol project was announced at the Behind The Frame- Anthos* stage event on Monday. The anime will premiere under the title Hana-Doll*: Reinterpretation of Flowering and cover the drama CD's first season Flowering.

Movic launched the idol franchise in 2019, which includes multiple drama CDs, music, and stage play. Shounen Magazine Edge began serializing a manga titled Hana-Doll*: Flowering - Boys were still in a dream by illustrator Ikuhiro Nao in November 2020. Kodansha published the first volume in December 2021.

Introduction
Amagiri Production's new project "Hana-Doll*" aims to create the ideal idol. Anthos is a participant in that endeavor. Each Anthos member has a unique seed implanted. Their goal is to grow and allow a flower to bloom within them. The members trade their lives for the "flower." Will they maintain their humanity throughout the process?

Every female-focused all-male anime should have a playful blond with long hair and a tsundere with spiky ones?

They better adapt really good works instead, such as Real, Vagabond, Don't Say Mystery.

Wonder what they will focus on in this anime :o Seems like there's lots of themes in that small blurb. Hope the art style is kept for the adaption!

I love Teita's art :sob: The anime character designs for Norn9 felt too different to me from Teita's original designs, so I'm a bit worried about this one. Hopefully these designs will be easier to translate to anime.

I've only listened to the first drama CD (Season 1 spans 5 CDs), so I don't know much about the story itself. Mainly I follow the songs. Will give the anime a try for Masuda, TokiShun, and Yamashita Seiichirou. If we managed to get a bit of screentime for Tosshi's group, that'd be great too! They didn't really appear until Season 2 though.

I'm a bit lost as to what a thinking reed is, so, no, I don't think I am.

The premise is a little interesting though, I might make a note of the title to see if their songs are any good.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Will be really sadden if they change the art style ; _;. I was thinking how they changed stuff in the Collar x Malice Movie!! I did not realize the drastic change in Norn too :( :O hope all the groups show up/ they combine the stories well!!! even if just for a cameo for Tosshi!!.

Yes... because you can only enjoy a show where there is female characters. How cool of you.

I started getting into Hana-Doll because of the songs and character designs. I’ve been catching up of the story more actively since the later days of last month and I’ve been very invested in the characters especially Lihito and Haruta. Honestly pretty excited for the anime but I won’t make my expectations too high. I know Hana-Doll* isn’t for everyone but if you seem interested you can check out the Project Archives (drama audios) if you feel inclined to do so.
Edit: I love Anthos* so much.
