| Another work by Kyoto Animation? Interesting. I wonder if it will be a TV adaptation though. |
 |
| I wish they would invest in a Hyouka film. This doesn't look too interesting, but I bet the animation will be fucking amazing. |
| If this is going to have a harem or harem-ish things, I'm going to murder someone. Well currently KyoAni is the only reason I will be checking this out. Definitely do not like the LN art style. |

| Seems somewhat generic, to be honest. But, since it's done by Kyoto Animation, I think it'll be worth a shot. They have the ability to pull it off. |
| i love kyoani, but this sounds really mediocre. i guess i'll pass. |
 |
| Synopsis was interesting then I saw cover art, now it doesn't look interesting, Won't watch. Kyoto animation is like salt on the wound. |
| Please don't be a harem, other than that I won't discriminate. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Hmm, might gonna watch this since Kyoani is making it and also one of genre is supernatural. |
 |
| Sounds like this might be the most actiony show Kyoani's done in a while. |
| idk ... Knowing myself i'll give it a shot but ... yeah. Idk. ._. |
 |
| At least it's guaranteed to have pretty visuals. ...that's something. I hope it's not the kind of poor blend of moe fluff x wannabe dark fantasy that Kyoukai no Kanata was. Also the LN apparently only has 1 volume out as of now. |

This studio has amazing production value yet lately they have been producing garbage/mediocre anime. Do they only choose to animate winning submissions from their annual awards? They need to broaden their horizons. For a LN, Yes. I found it interesting how there was no mention of "High School" but oh well cover blows it up. |
| Seems like the next KnK in the making, but I guess it will at least look decent. Inferno_Cop said: Amphinobi said: Are you fucking serious, the plot sounds unoriginal as fuck. I'm so disappointed.

I bet there is still a decent chance for a magical academy or highschool to appear later on. Believe in the industry. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Sounds generic and boring. |

Sakana-san said: Tagline: Is the world the real thing...? Or is it a mere phantom...? This JRPG-sounding line doesn't belong here, at least if they want us to (not) take this show seriously. |
| Looks rather interesting, but it only has one volume for the light novel. So I doubt it gonna be that long of an anime nor will it probably follow the main story line to said novel. None the less added to my plan to watch list. |
 |
| Make more Free! please .-. |
 |
| Another garbage coming |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
ZachM said: Why can't KyoAni just make more seasons of their old shows? This doesn't look too good at all In theory, trying new stuff is all nice and dandy. Stagnation is the death of creativity. We don't need other studios to follow Toei Animation's sad example. No need to revive Full Metal Panic or Lucky Star. That said...this title doesn't look too promising lol |
|
| Doesn't sound too bad, and it will look good at least, but the LN is apparently only one volume so I can't see this being too long unless they decide to be ultra-faithful to the source material (like the currently airing Rokka No Yuusha). EDIT: Once again, ANN has a much better synopsis than the one used here, which seems to be almost intentionally dull for some reason. |

 |

| KyoAni adapting random light novels? What a shocking development, never seen this before.. |
  |
| The next Kyoukai no Kanata incoming. budget completely wasted. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Harems are so dull. |
 |
| Phantom sounds so cool, will watch. Lol the girl on the right looks just like ggo kirito XD |
 |
| single volume? i bet they will put another anime original story aside from the story from the source material. that's KyoAni for you. |
 |
| more KyoAni |
 |

But in the CM an stuff like that she looks like a mix between Saya and the black haired angel for that Sora anime {can't remember the full name}, but that only cause she wears things in her hair too. |
|
| Oh fuck no KyoAni. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| If they can carry this out the way they did Kyoukai no Kanata then yisss plsssss |
| The tagline made me think of Maybelline's slogan. |
 |
| Good for that Souichirou Shinno guy...Hope it will be as entertaining as Kyoukai no Kanata... Still have no idea why people hate Kyoukai no Kanata but like Noragami...Other than Kamiya factor both were almost same... :/ |

| this feels like kyoukai no kanata again |
| I don't expect anything good to come from Kyoani anymore. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| At least the visuals will be nice and it honestly might be worth it. |
 |
| Will Watch Kyoani is one of my favorite studios. |
 |
| Seems generic. Waiting for better things because is KyoAni. |
| This novel has only 1 volume so it can be adapted fully however as it's only 1 volume, it will most likely be a short 8-12 minute anime. |
 |
| Hyouka when? |
