A manga adaptation drawn by Pochi Edoya ended its serialization in October, and the second compiled volume will go on sale on March 26.

Oh dear god, this is Btooom with Magical Girls, I don't know about this especially since it's pretty saying that this is also like Black Bullet, a depressing cute girl bloodbath.

The next "Puella Madoka Magica" is here. The Novel was really dark it's more mystery and thriller less action.

I hope Seiji Kishi doesn't directed this.

That writer though... ugh, between ecchis and pretentious teen dramas at least this is something new for him.
And the director says nothing.
Still hanging on to some hope but it doesn't particularly feel like they are aiming for anything big here.

Given that they only announced it's airing this year rather than when this year, I think it's probably reasonable to assume that it's going to air in Autumn rather than Summer. Either way, I'm happy Lerche are doing this, and I have a really good feeling about this show now.

Lerche? Pretty happy with that. Also Takao Yoshioka is writing the script so has some promise and the director while directing a moe anime only, it was a good one at that, so has some potential. Haven't read the source material but has my interest. Really liked the visual and music, hope to get some animated footage soon.

Finally, after 6 months of silence we hear about this one.
Although the staff information is almost non-existent and that PV may as well not exist lol.
Most important is that it finally has its own website and that it's for 2016, I suppose.

Still waiting for PFLE and Shadowgale's seiyuu to be revealed (I have a feeling we won't have them until the anime have already started since they aren't appearing in the first few episodes anyway~)

Damn, just looked at twitter and the script writer said it would only cover volume 1 (+ the relevant chapters of volume 4).
So that's a good news for the anime since it will not be rushed, but that's a bad news for me. That means no PFLE, no shadowgale, and no werewolf game. And I'm not a huge fan of the first volume.
I know I should rejoice that another adaptation choose the path of being faithful, but that's an exception for me. I mainly like that title due to characters and stuff coming from volume 2 onward...

Been on my radar for quite a while..ever since i watched madoka magica i have been very interested in stories involving magical girls with a darker theme.

Part of this series is not just based on survival but also on the lust for power... these girls are special privileged in there society and when that privilege is threatened some of them go to extreme measures to preserve themselves of there position of power..so it is not just a survival but also lust for power and how people can go to far for that. .. this should make for an interesting watch,

Madoka + Hunger Games.

Because anime fandom usually eats up the death-game nonsense no matter what the quality is.

Either way nothing in waht is presented so far convinces me it will be anything good. The premise sounds edgy as hell for sake of edgy(and screams Okada's selector nonsense, which is never a good sign). The art is pretty much copy pasta of Madoka and the studio(Lerche literally only has Carnival Phantasm as something good) and writing staff inspires absolutely no confidence at all.


Pass.

Leaving aside everything else, I can't believe someone is actually thinking that the art is similar to Madoka.
That's completely different lol...

PTW it goes. Not gonna set any expectation. Series Composition/Script mostly done anime that is so-so to me but seeing Sky Girls is on the list of his work and along the fact that show has a nice tone of drama makes it interesting for me. Besides, GochiUsa was well directed especially second season so if theirs thing goes wrong on this, its probably interpretation of the script writer to the LN ideology.

After Gakkou Gurashi last year, I think Lerche knows how to animate a dark series.

Aww yiss... 2 of my favorite anime in one? (Mirai Nikki + Madoka Magica)? I hope there's despair. A lot of it. Please I need it.

Also Lerche made this. I hope they can make a wow episode 1 again like Gakkou Gurashi. They did a great job on that even though it differs from the manga.

Also is it a given that mahou shoujo always pink/red? lol. Kaname Madoka, Yuuki Yuuna, Doremi, Haruna from kore wa zombie desu ka?, and now we have this girl.

Well probably because girls like pink, then I have nothing to say to that.

That's SnowWhite, and like her name suggests, she's actually white rather than pink

However, the shadow colour for her clothes and hair used is often pink, hence the confusion (she often appear as light pink due to this). I think her hair is really somewhere between light grey and light pink though. But her clothes are white.
Here is a proper cosplay of SnowWhite :
