| I'm really excited for Mekaku City Actors, and I'm not actually sure why. The art caught my attention, but I think it's mostly the sweet name and how the plot sounds like Welcome to the NHK meets some kind of scifi/action plot. Definitely one I'm keeping an eye on. |

| KanColle will be done by Diomedia? I'm almost sure it'll be just 10 episodes. |

| I can't wait to know the seiyuus for Mekaku City Actors. |
| Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see an PV for Mekaku City Actors soon. |
 |
| so much hype for Mekaku in this thread :O I like you guys :3 |
 |
| Thanks for news. |
 |
| April 2014, didn't expect for Mekaku City Actors to air this soon Can't wait for spring to come |
| Woo been meaning to know more about Kagerou Project, glad that it's finally on the move! |

| i can say that i'm not that excited for soul eater not but count me in for the rest especially mekaku city actors |
| Kuzakawa directed Dog Days, Kancolle is in good hands. Diomedia as the studio will ensure great visuals xchee said: KanColle will be done by Diomedea? I'm almost sure it'll be just 10 episodes. That may not be so detrimental in the sales category if it's done right, it's not so bad in this case especially if they don't follow any of the manga and novels. However, Diomedea must make sure the anime open to new viewers who haven't played the game or read the manga and novels because they may also be the new players for the games. |
 |
| I wonder why The Simpsons decided to pay a tribute. |
 |
| SO HYPED for Mekaku City Actors. I hope they don't screw this up. And I also hope they use the Kagepro songs in the anime somehow. I wouldn't mind seeing the Outer Science part animated with at least some of the actual song in it. |
| Can't wait for Mekaku City Actors. I wonder if they will use kagepro songs for OP/ED |
 |
| Thanks for posting it :) |
| "As long as you're alive, something happy bound to happens" -What a Wonderful World |
| Definitely excited for Mekaku City Actors. I've been following KagePro since practically the beginning. ;__; I'm also glad that there is finally a date for the second Hakuouki movie. I still have to see the first one though. |
| for the next news briefs, you should mention about The Wind Rises being officially nominated for an oscar. :) |
