 At the Tokyo Comic Con on Sunday, director Shinji Higuchi (Fushigi no Umi no Nadia episode director) announced an original TV anime titled Hisone to Maso-tan. Higuchi stated that the story concept was devised by him, Mari Okada, and studio Bones. The anime is slated for 2018.Introduction Straightforward and innocent Hisone Amakasu is a rookie self-defense official. She was struggling with the fact that she sometimes hurts people unintentionally by her innocent words and decided to join in Air Self-Defence, hoping to maintain a certain distance from people. This decision led her to a fateful encounter which profoundly changes her life. It was the dragon hidden in the base and it chose Hisone as his pilot. When it soared into the sky with Hisone, her fate as a dragon pilot was decided. It is said that dragons have a key to the future of the world...

| The plot sounds interesting and this has quite a few noticable names as part of its staff. Interesting. Hope Bones can deliver this. |
 |
| The staff is strong af. Holy shit thats a fucking line up. Some of these staff members are veterans and greats in the industry. I cant believe my eyes |

| Yo this staff tho // Aight I am interested |
| That....is a lot of names...Unfortunately Mari Okada had to be one of them... Btw, what's a "Military Supervisor"? |
 |
Dat fucking staff tho also finally Taisei Iwasaki is doing more OST for anime, fucking love his work for kekkai sensen |
 |
| Well, if anything, it will look amazing. Tarotist said: Btw, what's a "Military Supervisor"? Probably an adviser, like how Big Bang Theory has scientists working on them as supervisors. |
 |
| Holy shit, this staff is amazing I can’t wait for— “Mari Okada” Never mind. |
おれはPigAmericanです おれはばか i am average american man i enjoy bad game runescape |
| Wow, Original Anime, Great Staff, original concept, Military Dragons in Modern World... I will definitely Watch this one. |
 |
| I don't really care about Okada, I just want more Bones originals. |
| That visual looks so cute. And the staff is great. Even though dragons aren't really my thing, I'm in! |
| Seems really cute. Looking forward to the PV so we can get even more info. Also, what is wrong with Mari Okada? |
 |
| >original anime from bones >experienced staff >original concept I will definitely watch this show. |
TheServant said: Even if this one ended up being mediocre, at least we would get great music from the composer. Calal-Chan said: Also, what is wrong with Mari Okada? She's an experienced writer, but she's not exactly consistent in her script quality. That's probably why some people are apprehensive toward her. I mean that is a fair point, but most scriptwriters, especially in anime, are not consistently good either. |
|
| That sounds... weird but it's a pretty solid staff lineup at least so might be worth giving a shot |
  |
| Those names! o_O Then this name... I wasn't expecteing Higuchi to come up suddenly with an animated work after so mqny years dedicated mainly to live cinema. Are yiu sure it's wise to refer to Higuchi as a director for some Nadia episodes when they are the infamous ones? XD |
| Don't know shit about staff or names in it, but its original anime so it's insta PTW. |
 |
| >Melodrama >Bones Is it really.. meant to be good? |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Original anime are always welcome, looks interesting. |
 |
| Holy fucking shit that staff. Sign me the fuck up. Kiznaiver's director, this makes me very excited because that show was visually impeccable. The other staff members are also impressive and to top it off it's being made at my favorite studio at BONES. Fuck off, Okada has made a bunch of great stuff over the years and she is a very talented writer, please don't watch this if you don't like her or whatever. |

| Looks promising. Also, typical Okada hate I see. smh |
 |
| My opinion of mari okada improved massively from iron blooded orphans 2nd season where she caught me off guard with some seriously ballsy and unconventional moves in its final act so this doesnt turn me off as much as it did before. Still cautious, but i have found when mari okada actually gives a shit she can be pretty good, but i wont deny she has a long list of fuck ups on her resume. I'm cautiously looking foreword to it. Though i dont know how excited i am anyway for how to train your dragon military edition Calal-Chan said: when she sucks she really sucks. When shes at her worst or even sometimes her middle her stories tend to have overblown melodrama and irrational characters that exsist just to add unnecessary drama. That is typically for her slice of life works but her action works are the real mixed bag cause shes responsible for certain things like ruining darker than black with the 2nd season.Seems really cute. Looking forward to the PV so we can get even more info. Also, what is wrong with Mari Okada? She honestly has way more fails than hits. And its not even a taste sort of deal where shes only for certain people, shes had genuine failures no matter how you look at it like mayoiga |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Mari Okada? how she have another proyect since the mayoiga fail? |
| Looks like a kids show but atleast it's not edgy. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |

Anyway still looking forward to this. I really hope the PV keeps the same cute style as what it looks right now. |

JizzyHitler said: Really? The deen fate/stay night, Cannan, M3, fractale, shes got alot of duds under her belt Do not forget about the shit fest known as Kuroshitsuji II. And like 95% of the first season was filler. I'm kinda glad she didn't work on Book of Murder,Book of the Atlantic, and Book of Circus. Less than half her works are actually good |

Wasshio said: you mean the interview where her life basically sounds like the most melodramtic show in exsistence where mother tried to kill her with a knife and she was bullied out of shcool but only made it through cause her writing ability was reverred by alot of teachers so they helped her along through it.JizzyHitler said: Really? The deen fate/stay night, Cannan, M3, fractale, shes got alot of duds under her belt And for me I say Kiznaiver is another show that has a hit imo for her. The problem I can kind of get is the story, which feels a bit more eh to be fair. The rest including the characters are what drove the series of course. There's other few series she has worked on which were pretty neat. Overall she ain't that bad, especially given after the one interview I read about her which to be honest it was pretty interesting. shit makes so much sense reading that interview |
