The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria (light novel)
| Soo I was wondering if you'd actually want this novel to be animated, feel free to give your opinions |
 |
| 5 years later......... |
| if Shaft would make this into a 7 part movie Series then yes |
| I hope this will get an adaptation considering this series is very good hopefully the shaft glances at this series and acts. |
| The better the material is, the more likely for it to be butchered even harder. So yes and no. Creations like these will absolutely need a super dedicated director & staff who REALLY know inside out of this novel to truly depict the plot within. If you ask me about anime adaptation, I'd rather not have it unless that sole criteria is fulfilled. |

| No, the novel is too good and hard to adapt, anime adaptation won’t be able to get all the details, specially characters thoughts and feelings. It is better not to get adaptation than get a bad one |

It is better not to get adaptation than get a bad one So you wouldn't want more persons to know of this series even if the adaptation is bad? Because an anime adaptation is also use to advertise the source material. |
| Note: I changed my mind and decided to change this as well Absolutely not. From my experience, it's these kind of stories that studios tend to mess up. And I can feel that if this does get a anime adaptation, it's going to be done by JC Stuff. Who makes alot of these kind of stuff and end up with a mediocre adaptation. Unless it's being done by studios like Kyoto Animation, which, probably is not in a state of making animes, or maybe MadHouse. Although if they did adapt this story, I'm kind of scared that they won't make a season 2. Not gonna mention any names. *Cough* No Game No Life *cough* it probably won't produce a adaptation that'll make watchers read the original work. |

| Good luck making a good adaptation of Hakomari It's hard to find a novel that utilizes the medium's unique narrative so heavily for its writing. It just wouldn't be the same as a tv-show so honestly I'd prefer it not being adapted. It'll surely just get butchered Not that it would get adapted regardless. It's finished and too obscure for Japan to deem it profitable to animate now |

| You can buy it in English and iirc Polish as well. |
My Rereads | My Favorite Mangaka | Soylent Green Buy stuff, or buy at least your favorites if you can afford it - Don't be lame. D W-W&N 🤍 MAL is far from being my primary site for literature, which is why I’ve stopped doing single-chapter updates. Baka-Updates and two French sites are far superior—more detailed, complete, and less restrictive. They're perfect for manga, light novel, and book collectors like me, making the process much less stressful and tiring. -g- |
| I heard it was no popular no Japan. |
| It's not successful in Japan, definitely a lot more in the West compared to it and I can definitely see why by just looking at the writing style and the lack of humor in it except a scene or two and the much more serious tone compared to other light novels out there. And when it comes to an anime adaptation, I would never want it - even if the light novels would have been successful in Japan. I absolutely love the stories and the structure overall, but I just don't think it's the kind of novel series that would translate well to anime form. Especially given the much more serious tone for the most part right from the getgo immediately unlike something like Steins;Gate which has all shit happening halfway whereas the first half was build and lighthearted humor for the most part. The writing just feels like it'd really work with imagination from reading the words and having more impact there than translating that into an animated form, where the visuals would not be able to justify the real impact that the words leave as impressions. Especially for the times where they have to loop 1000s of times and that takes so much mental/psychological damage out of the MC that he commits acts that while sounds so absurd, is the real intention by the author since what he goes through is so unimaginable for us to really experience his pain that he uses examples that would only work in novels to describe his suffering and emotions. Anime would never be able to portray that well. So will it get an adaptation? Nah. It's been so long since the novels ended and it didn't do well in Japan performance wise since it's not really as oriented towards that audience for the most part imo. And should it get an adaptation? No. Since the words that leave so much despair, suffering and impact in the story would never be able to be translated well into anime for people to comprehend the intentions or have understanding with whats going on as well as how it's written in the books. |
| I really can't see the first volume being adapted properly at all. It just doesn't fit a visual media like anime. |
 |
| I’m not that far in, and my lack of LN experience doesn’t help, either, so by default I’d ask for an adaptation. However, most LN adaptations aren’t really faithful to their source material, and the style of dialogue, according to what the translations also indicate, probably won’t be as accurately portrayed in anime form. So no, I don’t think it should and it probably won’t, anyway. I can’t say much more, though. My personal feelings are already mixed to negative just from the first volume. |

| Never going to happen. The adaptation would be total shit |

Zefyris said: I really can't see the first volume being adapted properly at all. It just doesn't fit a visual media like anime. I agree, I love Zeroth Maria but I struggle seeing it be properly adapted. Without spoiling too much, I think issues such as the time loops will especially be difficult to properly display their impact in a visual medium. Also, the last novel in certain parts reads like a fever dream, something that would also be difficult to properly adapt. Of course, with the perfect studio, director, budget and ample amount of screentime it could be pulled off successfully but it could be botched so easily too I'd rather not see it happen. Also, the series completed quite a while ago and the author has not been outputting anything noteworthy recently so far I understand, so I don't see studios be interested in adapting it, let alone give it the proper care and attention it deserves. |
| I'd love to see the first volume adapted into a movie. It's one of my favorite time loop stories. The rest of the series doesn't really do it for me, I don't mind if it stays unadapted. |
| Never gonna happen. |
| Unless its not done by some low-quality studios that angered millions by fucking up famous works than I guess I'd watch it (I'm looking at you JC) |

Takumi_usui77 said: Nagatoro, Horimiya, and Komi-san were all ongoing while they got their anime announcement. Not to mention that all of those manga were quite popular in Japan and sold well. Not only has Hakomari ended many years ago, it also sold very poorly. It's pretty much unknown in Japan and no one would want to back up a project like an anime adaptation of this. Nagatoro san, Horimiya and Komi can't Communicate have had anime adaptations and all of them have had it for quite a long time. so don't despair let's hope this also gets an anime adaptation soon. |
