An official website has opened for an original fantasy adventure anime titled Endride, which will be broadcast for 24 episodes on NTV and other networks beginning April 2016. The two main characters are designed by Kazushi Hagiwara and Nobuhiro Watsuki. Hagiwara's character (Emilio Langheim) is pictured on the left, while Watsuki's character (Shun Asanaga) is pictured on the right.

Further information on the series, including promotional videos, will be revealed at AnimeJapan 2016. Visitors will also be able to play a demo of an upcoming mobile game based on the series.

Synopsis
Shun Asanaga is a 15-year-old junior high school student with an optimistic and bright personality. One day, he finds a mysterious crystal in the office of his father, who is a scientist and businessman. When he touches it, the world becomes distorted, and he is sent into the world of Endra. Emilio, a prince of the kingdom of Endra is nearing his 16th birthday and despises the reigning king Delzaine. Since Emilio is now at the age when he can inherit the throne, he takes up a weapon and attempts revenge. However, because Emilio is too weak, he is captured by Delzaine and put in prison. When Emilio is in grief, the wall of his cell becomes distorted and Shun appears from there with two goals: return to his own world, and complete his revenge. What future lies ahead for the two boys trying to survive in Endra, yet raised in two different worlds?

Seems bland, nothing can beat Dog Days in the fantasy genre with a boy being transported into another world concept.

I'm starting to think that "Someone transported to another world" should have its own genre

The synopsis looks more ambitious and it could end up being better.

However, it can also end up being (yet another) terrible anime.

Looks like someone took a 5th graders edgy story and is adapting it into a rare 2 cour. Seems a waste to give a two cour to such a bland plot.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. This has an unremarkable staff list and an unremarkable plot, which were the only things that set Penguindrum apart. Studios don't mean much.

Fuck you anime industry. Dimension W or Grimgar have to squeeze into shitty 13 episode format without a chance to develop properly, yet another boring "high school boy transported to fantasy world" cliche gets 24? After Shit Lucifer it doesn't matter it's an original series any more.

If you want well-developed and "grown-up" television, you'd better prioritize live-action over anime. There are a lot more jobs, which also means there's a lot more potential skill and variety.

I like original anime, since there's no source material and, by extension, no fans overhyping and getting my hopes up, and we can all go into it not knowing what to expect......but this one just sounds pretty bland. I guess I'll pass on 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.

This sounds, not that interesting. It might be either just because by the description is going to be bland as hell, or its going to be one of those "expecting to be bad" but then turns out into a 180 of everyone else's thoughts.

Might pick this up though.

@Max Not really, live action is as boring as an average anime. Anime has more potential when it comes to world building. Sadly it's often completely wasted.

@moodie First of all, piss off. Second of all, how do you know whether I buy merchandise or not? What do you base your assumptions on? You "accuse" someone for liking Death Parade while you rated it 7 yourself. Are you one of these "scale handicapped" people who have trouble using all 10 numbers or just like talking shit?

So basically, Nagirah can't respond because she doesn't meet your requirements but you can respond to anyone freely, can't you see how much of a as*hole you sound like, if you respond to someone that person has the right to respond back.

Oh, wow, you've watched a lot of anime. Good for you. You now have the right to view everybody as beneath you and completely throw out the opinions of anyone who thinks differently than you. Another funny thing is that you gave Death Parade a 7 ... which means that you also thought Death Parade was good. So I can't figure out just what your problem is exactly. Do you think that this generic, boring sounding anime is going to be good, because if so you should have just said that instead of making yourself look like an idiot.

PS: Please forgive my insolence for quoting you, oh great and mighty anime god-sama, as I am neither 21 nor have I watched 200 anime.

This thread is funnier than the MAL anime top, congrats


“Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.”
— RAINER-MARIA Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (letter dated April 23, 1903).

I always appreciate an original anime, but I probably will not watch this one since the premise is not appealing for me. I might change my mind if the PV is looking good.
