8 x 60 minute long episodes is great, wasn't expecting them to be that long. Also read that this will be a complete adaptation of the manga as well.

Let's pray the animation stays consistent throughout its runtime.

This looks amazing, can't wait to watch it. Normally I don't like batch releases but I've read the manga so won't get spoiled by others.

I'm pretty excited, but I don't want to get too excited because expectation can kill the experience. Looks great nevertheless.

Oh man this looks like such an incredible adaptation, basically getting 8 movies of this. It'll never happen cause of both of them's absurd length but god I's kill to see Billy Bat or 20th CB get this level of adaptation, or adaptation at all.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

This is looking really good, can't wait to watch it!
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.
