 On Friday, the official website for the previously announced Project Anima has announced the winner under the sci-fi and robot anime theme. No submission earned the first place, so the runner-up Sakugan Labyrinth Marker by Nekotarou Inui will be getting an anime adaptation. Studio Satelight will be in charge of the anime adaptation to be released in 2020, in which the format is still unknown.Synopsis The distant future, long after the Western calendar is no longer used. Humans live shoulder-to-shoulder, cramped in the "Labyrinth," an underground world deep below the surface. There are many colonies where people live in the underground Labyrinth. The place is known for extreme high temperatures, but also for lodes of gold, silver, and other riches. In one of the colonies named Pin-in, a curious nine-year-old girl named Memenpuu and her father Gaganbaa board a two-person work robot and mine for ore. They eke a living as the lowest of lowest "Worker" occupations. One day, Memenpuu begs her father Gaganbaa to set out as Markers — those who chart the innards of the Labyrinth as a spelunker — to search for her mother who left their home. A Marker is the most dangerous, but also the most lucrative, job. Gaganbaa decides he cannot hold back the ever-curious Memenpuu from going off on her own countless times, and finally gives in. The two embark on a journey together in the work robot. This is a father and daughter's epic journey with the theme of family love. Sakugan Labyrinth Marker is currently on Estar. Project ANIMA is a collaboration project between DeNA, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, Inc., Sotsu, and MBS. The winner for the project's second anime theme, which will be fantasy by studio J.C.Staff, will be announced in the middle of September, while the third and final anime, which will have a kids and game theme by Doga Kobo, will be announced next March.

| Family love... well, if it's will be a serious drama title without moe and fanservice, then I'm on board. I also wonder what kind of work will be entrusted to Doga Kobo. Knowing their style, it can be melodramatic romance, yuri or slice of life ... or, all together. |

| LN contests need to be this strict next time. Project Anima should be the standard for the LN contests. |
 |
| Let me see if I understood ... Are they going to make an anime of the person who will win? The candidates(who are not pro) send their suggestions(manga, novel...) and they choose which is the best and will be adapt? Or is it just a ideia to the mangaka make one about it? |

| @MrBluee The anime adaptations are from the submissions, which is in various forms: either it is in already done form from Estar and Manga Box app., or just in idea forms (planning, script, etc.) from Project ANIMA site itself. And it is accepted either pro. or amateur, solo or unit, etc. because the main purpose of the project is to give chances to the young creators. I'm sorry the previous announced news was described in too simple way. |
