Manga 'Ao no Hako' Gets TV Anime

GoHands chads, are we ready for this kino? (A sports anime animated by a studio named GoHands would be funny)

@Softhenic03 Considering what I heard about the manga, PAWORKS or Lindenfilms will be a good decision. But this is pure speculation.

@RobertBobert Something like PA Works or TMS would be the most ideal case. Apparently there was a Cloverworks rumor too, but that turned out to be false.

Worst case it would be Project No.9 lol.

If it's a GoHands anime, then this is a hard pass from me.

This anime was a LONG TIME coming. I had this manga on my interest stack for predicting future anime adaptations. I tried reading a couple chapters of the manga, but it wasn't my thing tbh.

Here's a couple of the accolades:

2021 Next Manga Award - #8 (Print Catergory), won the Global Prize

'Nationwide Bookstore Employees' Recommended Comics of 2022'- #4

@erikkamirs, yes, it deserved anime a long time ago!

@Memore Any chance of this becoming the next big hit from Shonen Jump? As far as I can see, the manga is really very popular. I expected the same from Komi, but for now it seems like the anime has stopped at season two.

@RobertBobert, yes, I am 100% sure about it! It is INCREDIBLY POPULAR! Its sales in Japan are amazing!! I think it is the same as with MHA, Jujutsu Kaisen and Golden Kamuy.

@Memore I hope the anime actually does this, we're back at the point where most Shonen Jump anime have either ended or are about to do so.

@RobertBobert Huh? What about the recent wsj animes. Mashle, Undead unluck, JJK and there's more coming like elusive samurai, Mission yozakura and there's always one piece.

@MegamiRem I haven't watched these shows except JJK, so I don't have enough knowledge to call them hits or deny it. But I heard that the original JJK manga entered the final arc or something like that.

@RobertBobert Are you talking about wsj anime adaptations or manga? Pick one and don't mix em. You said about most wsj anime ending not the manga. If you are talking about mangas than there are other popular mangas in wsj too or heck wsj mangas are all gonna be popular cause the not popular ones gets axed.

@MegamiRem I'm talking about anime that I'm familiar with. That's why I'm intrigued by the announcements of new Shonen Jump manga adaptations. If you know of other popular or potentially popular SJ anime, then I would be grateful if you tell me about them. I haven't watched Mushle and Undead Unluck yet, so if you recommend it, it might be motivating for me.

@RobertBobert Like I said shounenjump mangas that get anime are gonna be popular more or less cause those would have gotten cancelled otherwise. If not globally than atleast in japan. So you can literally watch any sj stuff that interests you if you just want to watch popular stuff. Also there's various variations of sj magazine. So by sj do you mean any sj manga or from any specific variation of the magazine?

@MegamiRem Weekly, I haven't been following Jump+ much other than Aka's series. Although perhaps I watched some shows without even knowing that they were published there.

@RobertBobert Kaguya's from young jump actually as it's a seinen. Jump+ is a shounen magazine. If you've watched Jigokuraku, it's from there. As for wsj stuff aside from the names I mentioned earlier look forward to when Akane Banashi and Sakamoto days gets anime.

@Memore If you think a shounen drama romance anime is gonna be as popular as the most popular battle shounens than you have another thing coming.

Can we finally get a great Badminton anime? Hanebado, Rymans Club and Love All Play all had certain different aspects I really enjoyed, but were all held back with other things I disliked.

@NotTooPickyWeeb First time seeing a Studio Gohand fan lol.

Just need sakamoto days, witch watch and akane kanbashi and I can die happy

If it's a GoHands anime, then this is a hard pass from me.

@yamiyugi101, all these series will get adaptations too, I am 100% sure, they are extremely popular in Japan. Maybe even on Jump Festa there will be their anime announcements.

@Memore Let's just pray
