There's a chance this may become a full TV series rather than just shorts like the author's previous works then.

In the meantime, I wonder how the status of Violet Evergarden is doing.

Will this be KyoAni finally doing another short anime, or will this be the authors first work to get a full length anime. At the very least it's nice to see KyoAni adapting a manga again.

Can't believe Takemoto is doing this. Maybe if Gatoh were there with him it would make sense but I feel this won't be as funny as Fumoffu or Amagi since it lacks that dynamic. Probably going to skip this one unless I hear something good later.

Well knowing my fetish with these type of things, guess it doesn't hurt.

And hey this is the same director that did Amagi Brilliant Park, nice. I actually loved Amagi Brilliant Park too much. xD (Thats the only show that I enjoyed from Kyoto Animation, after that the stuff that they made with exception of Phantom World were kinda eh, though Phantom World to some extent was fun, except for few things, I just never really fully enjoyed a Kyoto Work for the recent stuff afterwards. Hibike S1 was a letdown for me since I didn't enjoyed it but I am enjoying the second season)

It may be for later on around the year or so, they did said that Violet Evergarden is in the works, so assuming with the quality animation like that I can understand, somehow. That's how I see it.

I know what you think friend.
Better wait for high quality product than watch some unfinished anime with a lot of mistakes but we are talking about kyoani here.

So this is going to be full length? Cool it's quite a funny manga.

But I certainly wouldn't have expected KyoAni. Have they decided that after all the experience with ship-teasing they are up for adapting a yuri title (even if its rather a comedic one)?

It is yuri but more comedic and for the most kinda onesided.

Tooru (the dragon/maid) is openly into Kobayashi. But Kobayashi is usually rather deadpan/doesn't really know how to react/is the straight man in the comedy routine.

And there are other yuri characters.

Yeah but I mean its more towards they're known for their quality because they have a pretty amazing schedule, that's why their quality of art/animation has been consistent as far as I'm concerned, along with their talented staff members as well.

That character design is so butchered compared to the manga. Don't know what I expected considering it's KyoAni.
Not looking forward to this at all though, looks dumb and a big roadblock in the way of Violet Evergarden.

Doubt that, after all VEG is a collection of short stories something like mushishi, so I bet it's gonna be a tv series.

The character design pretty much sums up a LOT of what is wrong with anime...

Also Kyoani. So basically full of queerbait and no pay off? Good to know that this is safe to skip.

One question... I do not really get what you mean by "wrong with anime" quotation... that always ticks me off at least for this. It looks pretty harmless for me (maybe for the big tits I can see it in a sense but this seems fine).

already following this series for long and uptodate to it, i don't see any particulary wrong with character design... the even fixing some unproportional part from his first design... sure it's lost plenty of detail, but that because this what will become in animated form... what do you even expect?

did people just really spout out something just because they dislike the one who made it? make me remember koe no katachi and demi-chan wa kitaritai..

>it's not appealing to me, it's dies!

i don't know what do you mean by yuri queerbait, but this series has MC who explicitely love another character despite same gender.. it does still one sided soo far from original source however since kobayashi not interest to them sexually... kobayashi still made her yuri harem thou... so it's not even related who will adpted this.. except they chose to go original route, which i really doubt it...

But the only canon pairing is in elementary school.

That said, something seems... off about Tooru's design. The head is normally larger and the arms and legs slightly thinner. Eh... I'll get used to it.

And Rukoa should technically be romanized as Lucoa (since it's short for Quetzalcoatl).

In this case Physics defying breasts, "moe" aesthetic, etc.
The design reminds me of phantom world which was easily one of most degrading things to come out of anime in long time.

Kyoani never does actual lesbians. They only bait. They create bait. I fully expect them to add some highschool protagonist into this and tone down any yuri stuff to only bait. Because it is Kyoani.

The entire Physics with the entire Breast thing that I can understand to SOME extent (then again realistically it doesn't bug me) ... But the moe asthetic? I don't even get it though I do think depending on how it looks like it just goes here and there for people. Then again, I'm a person who personally LOVES the Moe asthetics a lot so.

And as for the baiting part I don't really know, then again if you talk about for example Hibike, yeah they bait a lot but if this was intended to be a Yuri or Shoujo Ai then I don't really see the point in changing stuff.

It looks like Lucoa is getting an increase in screen time, cause I can't think of any other reason why she'd be singing in the theme song. Compared to Tooru (In love with Kobayashi), Kanna (looks up to Kobayashi as a mother), and Elma (Kobayashi's kohai at work and might be in love with her), her role is "lady who occasionally shows up at Kobayashi's house to drink coffee and regularly attempt to seduce a little boy for room and board."

I just hope that they adapt chapters 19, 28, and 38 (Though that last one only applies if Iruru shows up), since those have the sweetest moments in the series.
