| Death Note and Bakuman both got a lot worse halfway through. Nevertheless, it's something to look forward to. |
 |
| "This is a story of a human and an angel". Can't really make any comments on the synopsis, but stick to anything the label of Death Note creators and I'll be hyped af no matter what. Can't wait, the genres inspire me already. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

| This is gonna be good |
| This is a story of a human and an angel Is this like a Death Note spiritual successor? I hope its not too similar to death note but i have hopes it will just as awesome! |

Yaoi-sensei said: Awesome. I like Obata sensei art more than his story. Well he is pretty much only an artist and doesn't write stories :P Unless you mean you like Obata's art more that Ohba's stories, which in that case, my misunderstanding. Interesting news, I'll be on the look out for this new series then. |
| sucks they aren't doing weekly anymore :( guess the schedule is just too much for them now. |
 |
| Yea I've been waiting for those two to get together again on some new show. Both DN and Bakuman were goats, so I'm hoping they deliver some good stuff again to the table. |

Yaoi-sensei said: Awesome. I like Obata sensei art more than his story. Yeah, I pretty much only care because the art is always perfection. |

| Can't wait...i really want to check it out xD |
 |
| It would be something like Reversi? |
| Yup. This'll be an amazing series. Hopefully scanlation groups will pick this up as soon as it's released. |
 |
Yaoi-sensei said: OMG! *slap my self* Sorry, I thought Obata sensei did the story of Bakuman. And Ohba sensei drawn the art *blush* I'M SO EMBARRASSED!!! I remember it was like this somewhere. Thanks for correcting me XD Haha it's alright, everyone makes mistakes. I actually had to check Obata's MAL page just to make sure that he really hasn't done any stories, save for apparently something in an anthology. |
| can't wait |
| :3 |

| EustassKiddo ! |

  |
| Can't wait! |
| Death Note and Bakuman are the shit. HaXXspetten said: a.k.a. Reversi - The Animation Serialization Make it come true please. |
| Ooh! I can't wait!! I loved Death Note and Bakuman. I'll practically read anything by them now. :D |
| Time to wait for the anime |
 |
| Sounds interesting....I'm in! |
 |
| "This is a story of a human and an angel. Meh |
| Oh that's great! Was waiting for it for a while thinking they might never make another manga together. I guess it will be more like Death Note than Bakuman. (or maybe Reversi). |
| OH YES! |
 |
| Sweet, I love both series. Can't wait! |
| will check it out`~~ ^p^ |
| This sounds awesome. I hope it will be a long run series or at least 100+ chapters if they can do it right. Can't wait. |
 |
| Awesome, can't wait. |
| I'm very much excited :D I wonder what the genre of the new series is. I can't tell based on the image. It would be interesting if a female was the main character, but that wouldn't really fit the targeted audience... |

It would be interesting if a female was the main character, but that wouldn't really fit the targeted audience... The synopsis consists solely of the sentence "This is a story of a human and an angel." Extremely vague, but intriguing nonetheless. If I had to guess at the genre, I would say Supernatural and Drama. |
| I'm so hyped :D Been waiting for this news for years :) |
| ooh yasss! vodall said: wake me up when the anime adaptation is greenlit |
| I've been waiting patiently all these years and just as I'm sad that Shokugeki is over, this flashes across my screen. Hell yeah. |
