Don't what to think about the manga novel. (It's a novel please correct it)
But since it's Production I.G, I'll watch.

Looks like a pretty solid cast. Looking forward to this one!
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

A departure from the usual anime, but this one seems interesting and it's an actual novel adaptation like Hibike Euphonium so it should turn out better than a typical LN adaptation.

I thought Jirou was the main character in the story like in the movie, but I guess that was something that was changed from the novel. Will be interesting to see how the anime differs with the movie.

The original was a manga which got turned into live-action which got turned to a novel (novel is based on the live-action).
Which are they adapting? No idea.

Yeah, well there is a lot of hate for things most people like. Like OPM, now it appears Kaji Yuuki is a target without any reason. Kaji is great, love his voice.

lol please you're like 3 years off with this incorrect assumption

he started being a target for hate since he voiced Shu in Guilty Crown immediately followed by the fatty in Accel World whose name I cannot even care to remember


I, for one, hope that one day we'll see an anime voice announcement without his name in it.
Maybe one day!

That voice cast is on point man. I'm pretty much hype for this since PV 1.

Honestly, besides this one, I'm extremely happy that 2016 has offered a lot other shows with potential. Definitely gonna be a good year. ;)

He has some good roles (that antisocial guy from Haikyuu or Walker from Durarara), but his voice overall is really annoying. The fact that he is pretty much in every anime announced doesn't helps.

Well I haven't seen these series, but even if he did bad on these roles (I don't know), I still think that hating him for some role years ago, is stupid.

I heard that every Novel has different MC, don't know about different between novel & the Live Action movie. But Jirou will be a fucking amazing cool MC , he's remind me of Sherlock Holmes & Spike Spiegel , I hope the anime presented "that women" too, she's fucking badass/manipulative femme fatale.
Can't wait for the anime, can't wait for the NAZI armies & their chants too LOL

Man, Taku Kishimoto sure is busy, huh? Right now he's doing the scripts for Haikyuu S2, then next season he's doing Boku Dake ga Inai Machi and Prince of Stride, and in Spring he's doing the new Magi anime and now this. Damn dude, don't overwork yourself on those scripts!

Anyway, this looks interesting. Mighty be cool, might suck ass, who knows. Only time will tell. Decent cast too, and Kenji Kawai doing the music is always a plus.
