| Oooh seems interesting enough. Drawn by Kodama Yuuki huh? I'm getting some Blood Lad vibes here. Looking forward to this! |
 |
| Thought it said "Hamtaro." *heart fails* :/ |

| Totally digging the character designs, it looks good. |
| A fusion project is definitely worth to see! |
 |
(
| Oh looks interesting. Ohsaka Ryota and Kamiya Hiroshi in the cast? I'm in. Plus the art is nice. |
| A game, oh dear lord, if it's a social game we pretty much got Fantasista Doll 2.0 here. It's a shame because Kitajima did a good job with Senran Kagura. |
 |
| With a character name like Nice, this has to be good. |
 |
| Gotta love the character designs and casts *w* MAN_Drake said: Thought it said "Hamtaro." *heart fails* :/ You're not the only one. |
| It seems like it can be decent. I'll be picking the Anime I guess. |
| It's looking really good, let's see how well it does when it comes out |

Looks like I'm the third person who thought that as well xD But the character designs for this look stellar, I'm looking forward to seeing how this will go. |
 |
| A curious project. The character design is not too inspiring though.... |
| 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. |

| Is the one on the right side wearing the hat a female or male? |
| Those epic character designs. Hope they'll do good. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Ohsaka Ryota and Kamiya Hiroshi are the reason to watch. VioLink said: Anime character design: http://i.imgur.com/jbpeILK.jpg Manga character design: http://i.imgur.com/I4U4g2E.jpg There will be a game also? I wonder what the story is going to be like. Nice. |
silentlildreamer said: Is the one on the right side wearing the hat a female or male? Looks to be female. You get a better view looking at the manga character design. Also in the anime picture, looks like they set it up so male characters in the middle and then a female on both sides. |

| Cool character design, but not sure about the story though. |

| I don't know how I feel about this. Could be interesting, I guess. |

I don't know if the kid is a boy or a girl, but they look good in dem shorts. The other characters are attractive as well. |

| BGM is retro groovy and the character design so shounen. At least I know the anime is to take place in Yokohama at present time. |

| ^ Interesting as the schedule information does not seem to be available in the PV or the official anime website. The account "Avex Other" that houses the PV is also interesting, as it has only 6 videos uploaded, quite a small number if it were used as an official account for Avex Group to upload videos. |

| Not saying it was not legit but just expressing the interesting, even baffling, arrangement by Avex to distribute information ;-) |

Yes, been waiting forever for him to get a new voice role! One of the greatest and underused voices of anime IMO. |
