 The Twitter account of Comic Blade magazine announced that Kozue Amano's manga series Amanchu! will be adapted into a TV anime in Summer 2016. The series has been serialized since the January 2009 issue of the magazine, and there are nine volumes of the manga in print. The official website of Amano's Aria manga series also published commentary by the anime's production staff in conjunction with the announcement of the adaptation. Director Kenichi Kasai admits that scuba diving, the theme of the manga, is an unknown subject to him, but he looks forward to studying it more closely. Kasai also indicated that Japan's Izu Peninsula will be used as the model location for the festival. Synopsis Hikari Kohinata is a cheerful 15-year-old girl who lives near the ocean, and she spends much of her time diving as a result. On her first day of high school, she meets a teacher who also likes scuba diving. There's also the 16-year-old classmate, Futaba, who gets dragged along in Hikari's maelstrom as soon as they meet at school. Most of the manga so far details the relationship between the two girls, which quickly seems to move into romantic two-girl friendship-territory. Staff Chief Director: Junichi Sato (Aria the Animation) Director: Kenichi Kasai (Bakuman.) Series Composition: Deko Akao (Akagami no Shirayuki-hime) Character Design: Youko Itou (Love Stage!!) Studio: J.C.Staff Official site: http://www.amanchu-anime.com/ Announcement trailer Source: Comic Blade Twitter Amanchu! on MAL News submitted by game8910 |

Aside from Shokugeki no Soma, what else did they made that made them "one of the best studio of 2015"? Prison School adaptation was pretty rushed and had a few errors here and there, Shimoneta had Anna and that's about it and DanMachi... |
| yuri? if so pass |

CG-Silver said: Carks32 said: Good things happens every now and then righ- " Studio: J.C.Staff" hype died J.C. Staff is one of the best if not the best studio in 2015 ...... Yeah but everything they did involved excessive fan service. |
| OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!! Best news of the whole year. MaxXZoe said: yuri? if so pass It's not yuri! |
| Wooooo Finally. Been waiting for this for more than 10 years! |
| Well this is a surprise. The art for this ad is strangely wonky, as if it were something from Satelite, but this being from Kozue Amano and Directed by Junichi Sato, I'll be looking forward to this. |
| Ahhh the day has finally come! I hope they adapt it 1:1 to the manga and take no shortcuts. |
 |
| So this is yuri? |
nozoris said: No So this is yuri? [size=30]yes |
| Looks like a Shoujo Ai-esque, healing show. Hope J.C. Staff delivers. |
 |
| That aria's vibe is sure gonna be present, ¿shoujo ai? who cares, i'm on it. |
| Wow, finally something new and the scuba diving part definitely caught my interest. Not sure if this is in shoujo-ai territory but I don't mind as long the story is good |
 |
| Amazing news! Every new iyashikei is a positive. But even more so with Amanchu - it's such a great little life-affirming manga. |
 |
| Hope this will be more interesting than Aria. |

 |
| It was just last week when I told my friend that I would be glad if they finally adapted Amanchu! now that Avvenire was just recently previewed in theaters in Japan. Pretty great news. |
 |
| Damn yes. Moar hype PLS, Kozue Amano and Junichi Sato. |
 |
| >Junichi Sato Aria's director is there so I'm expecting great things. Also Hachimitsu to Clover and Nodame's director + Kozue Amano's manga = all my yesssss |

More than studio, I think you need to look more at Director and Chief Director here. And while JC animating healing SoL is a very weird U turn after current trajectory of (superb) fanservice series, it was also known with much more subtler SoL. |
| >adaptation of manga by aria's author i'm so going to watch this, can't wait! |
 |
| This gonna be anygood (manga readers)? |
 |
| Neo-Izu please! I knew it would happen sooner or later but phuck I'm still shocked! I don't have good embarrassing remarks that can describe my feeling right now. OMG! |
| . |
| heck yes yuri |
| >Yuribait >High school >JC Staff Not a good sign. Though I have heard good things about Aria. Maybe I'm just being too judgmental. Guess I'll try to read the manga. |
HonguOct 5, 2015 3:29 PM
| I hope this doesn't turn out like other JC Staff SOL's |
 |
| I've read the first chapter of this and I already began to like it :) So I'm looking forward to this. J.C. Staff is odd as the studio as I don't recall seeing a relaxing SoL anime from them before. So this must be something new to them. Still, A Certain Magical Index, A Certail Scientific Railgun and Toradora are some of the best series that I liked from them, and we got Aria's director, so if he did direct well just like for Aria, then there shouldn't be flaws in this adaptation. Looking forward to it! Carks32 said: Maybe he was referring to their past works? http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?p=7Aside from Shokugeki no Soma, what else did they made that made them "one of the best studio of 2015"? Prison School adaptation was pretty rushed and had a few errors here and there, Shimoneta had Anna and that's about it and DanMachi... NicoZeta said: Studio isn't the thing that determines whether or not an anime is bad. It's the director(s). So zeroyuki92 is correct. Take example, the studio Silver Link, which both animated one of my fav SoL anime Non Non Biyori, which has, similar to Aria the relaxing and calm atmosphere, not to mention Nyanpasu as you know xD And then...they also did Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya with lots of fanservice, then in 2wei!.....that loli kiss which is more "graphic" than in the manga xD And then in Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei Herz, they added more extra loli fanservice and some kissing that weren't in the manga from what I heard.From the creators of Aria, i`m look- >J.C. Staff oh boy, J.C. Staff will add more Fanservice, i feel sorry to Amano Kozue fans. |
 |
| So so hyped! Love J.C. Staff, absolutely LOVE Kozue Amano's works! |
| I don't understand the complaints here because the staff looks really good. |
| Looks like a nice IP so why are they giving it to JC Staff... I'll give it a try though. |
 |
| Yeah... ive been waiting for this. I hope it'll turn into another aria |
     |
| Holy shit. The most hyped I've been in a long time x_x |

| I've fantasized about this. This is great. |
 |

| I think i wa reading the manga a while back. Not exactly for me but surprising news still. |
