| This can't turn out well. |

| The longest running shoujo manga.... and often interrupted too... Wonder this also has to do with the exhaustion of the author too... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Considered to be a masterpiece by who? Glass Mask IS a masterpiece, no doubt, LayedBack, its in your plan to watch list, hopefully you get to it one of this days. 2005 version is way better than the 1984 one. The manga even better, not for nothing its been ongoing since 1976 and holds the title of second best selling shoujo manga in history, since Glass Mask is still active its only 4 million away from number 1, hold by Hana Yori Dango. Just for infos sake and comparison, cold-perspective sales wise: 1. Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) (54 million) 2. Glass no Kamen (Glass Mask) (50 mil) 3. Ouke no Monshou (36 mil) 4. Nana (34.5 mil) 5. Chibi Maruko-chan (31 mil) 6. Tokimeki Tonight (28 mil) 7. Asari-chan (26.5 mil) 8. Yuukan Kurabu (22.9 mil) 9. Patalliro! (22 mil) 10. Doubutsu no Oishasan (21.6 mil) eminagnam said: dtshyk said: The manga author Miuchi Suzue said she must have been exhausted and had little judgement when she approved this anime project. When she came to, the production had already been started. LOL Oh my! Poor Miuchi. I never expected such a spin off. Wonder what kind of comedy it will be. I hope the original manga will draw attention from people again. I am surprised at a comedy spin off of something as revered as Glass Mask as well. Oh well, 17 x 5 min long series will hardly do much harm. And yea, hopefully at the least it will get some attention from new fans, I doubt much, but who knows. I honestly think it will be very hilarious. |

| How is it that I've never even heard of this manga until now? Wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary when I saw the news post, but wow. I think I'll enjoy the spinoff. Edit: Rephrased some things after realizing it was a spinoff. :P |

I'll definitely look forward to the anime then. Hopefully it's well adapted. Probably because its "old" and shoujo, last interaction was with 2005 anime adaptation, 8 years ago. Manga wise, not the most popular shoujo of the moment, but, its sales are very consistent and good. And as stated above, it has constant brakes, sometimes going as far as couple years without any new chapters. Also I doubt its 70s art style gets the attention of contemporary fans, and its main audience its not the kind that will discuss about via forums on the net. I would recommend the manga, its awesome. |

By today's standards 61 is still young, bu yea, its not like the job gets easier, thankfully -for her- I think she is not under tight schedules. That said, I hope Glass Mask eventually gets a proper ending, hopefully within this decade. |
| A 5-min comedy parody of something that's been publishing for 27 years, I don't even care about the manga and I still find that disappointing. Oh wait, an anime adaption already exists.. well alrighty then |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| "5min long comedy flash anime" will pass this one -.- |
| Pass. Didn't like Glass Mask that much, anyway. |

Well the art IS the 70's STYLE if you look at previous adaptations!!! |

| Woah idk about this- Love the manga so probably will try this |
It's a 5-minute-long comedy flash anime... I will probably pass on this one. |
 |
| as a strong fan of the manga and 2005 anime i have doubts about this :/ how do they imagine to bring comedy into this beautiful and somewhat serious/deep manga? even the mangaka disapproves of it... i will watch out of loyalty to glass mask but i am very scared. |
| I feel sorry for the author. |
| Wat? Comedy? This will be as weird as the Litchi Hikari Club shorts. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Well it can work honestly, dont see the big issue, its a spin off comedy series, its not necessarily related. Its like those chibi version of some anime. PLkus it can easily pass as a stage play. But yea, again, its surprising that this got the comedy ver, it would be more normal in other kind of series, so yea, kinda strange. It would be interesting to see, we just dont need to take it seriously or see it as a profanation of the series. |

Now I'm curious to see comedy versions of Goldgo 13, LOGH and Rose of Versailles. Chibi version of LOGH, that would be interesting. |
| I haven't read the manga yet I guess I'll get to it then. Spin-off huh? I'll give it a try. |

Now I'm curious to see comedy versions of Goldgo 13, LOGH and Rose of Versailles. Chibi version of LOGH, that would be interesting. For Hokuto no Ken is not strange for that kind of series, theres already chibi ver, is way too strange for something like Glass Mask, so it would be for LOGH or Rose of Versailles, for glgo not that much, this can be seen as some form of tarnishing the reputation of venerated, beloved and classic -also extremely serious- series. I get the feeling that is the reason the mangaka is having second thoughts about letting Glass Mask being used in such a way. |

| Will watch, I am a big fan of Glass Mask. Was hoping for a second season, but it won't happen. |
| Sorry but i believe this will be a waste of time and money |
| What, why? |
 |
| lololol... i'm a big fan of glass no kamen well, i'll watch it for the lolz |
| Watched the first to episodes (RAW) and looked kinda fun. Hoping someone subs this soon. |
