Hmm interesting. It'll probably format a standalone format style but I'm fine with it being a fiction mystery. Also seeing the artist involved in this, can we get a Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria adaptation in the future as well? D:

There was an advertising collaboration with this series and the Bones TV series, and seeing that the series is about bones, it'd be ironic if BONES animated this.

"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Mmm mystery LN, and i really hope this one will be a more decent, competently adapted mystery, because another mystery LN adaptations on top of my head such as Kamisama no Memochou and Dantalian no Shoka, despite their massive potentials, ended up being a downer (albeit being more watchable than the rest of usual Ln adaptation pastiche), with the former being plagued by insanely rushed pacing and bunch of pointless pseudo-philosophical concepts that have zero significance to the story arcs while the latter felt like an example of what usually happens when an episodic series tries its hand at presenting a continuing narrative, and unfortunately the result isn't very pleasant to witness (even the OVA felt pretty random).

Doesn't sound as bad as the usual Absolute Fafnir World Break garbage, but I wouldn't call it exciting either. My hopes are limited.

Oh thank god there's the self insert highschool kid! It wouldn't be a proper light novel if it weren't for that glorious character!

Not too many black flags though so I'll definitely give it a chance. I'm sure it'll end up being at least decent in comparison to all the other generic trash novel adaptations that we are getting 24/7

Honestly, I rather not to see HakoMari animated. Without proper staff, that would become a trainwreck.

It began as a way to stand out, draw attention and explain the gist of the story/plot in just the title.

I used to love Bones, so this video was really fun!

This anime seems interesting. I'll give it a shot when it airs. Lead girl is also pretty so that's a plus!

Blatant otaku bullshit? Maybe for the rest of light novels but this one seems actually interesting. You sure you're not just assuming things because of your bitterness towards light novels?

Anyway, it should be noted that the Sakurako girl is the main character's girlfriend right off the bat and is in her mid-twenties while he is in high school. That's not something you see every day. I'm interested. Lets hope it's a TV anime, though I'm not sure light novels have evolved to the point where the good ones get proper adaptations yet.
