Japan loved the VN, /a/ doesn't know what they're missing out on. Just watching the PV should give you hype from the beautiful music alone.

This anon knows

>>135863710
The VN is huge in Japan though.

>>135863770
>>135863934
>b-but japan liked it!
you know that /a/ thinks japan has shit taste according to the hive-mind
How do they deal with the panty shots? This is vital for me.

>>135864071
It's an eroge dude.

>>135863934
I know, but for some reason the anime doesn't appear to be getting a lot of hype, which is disturbing me greatly.

>>135863710
Name? If nobody mentions it, them probably nobody knows it. If you want people to watch it give them the info m8

>>135864188
Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm

>>135864188

Four Rhythm Across the Blue

>>135864138
They fuck in the sky right? Tell me they fuck in the sky. I want to believe.

>>135864071

Panty shots? The shoes they use to fly give off a special field that helps prevent skirts from moving in a way that lets the panties be seen. I've only played a little of the VN, but it's really great. The music is especially good.

>>135864260
>sex in flight
I guess I just got a new fetish.

>>135864260

They can't. They would repel each other unless one of them isn't wearing the shoes.

Anyway, there was a preview screening a few weeks ago, some people took pictures of it.

>>135863710
Is this actually gonna be decent? I got put off by the sickeneningly generic looking cover.

>>135864447
It's a sports harem anime, the premise sounds decent.

>The shoes they use to fly give off a special field that helps prevent skirts from moving in a way that lets the panties be seen.
Sauce? Also, pic related happened in the VN so there's still a chance.

>>135864447

Who knows. Depends on how they adapt it. Masaya is the MC of the VN, but some of the summaries of the anime make it look like Asuka is the MC.

>The invention of Grav-Shoes, footwear that function as antigravity devices, drastically changes the world, as they give people the ability to freely soar the skies.
>Asuka Kurashina transfers into Kunahama High school, where she meets Masaya Hinata and Misaki Tobisawa, finds out about the aerial sport that's rapidly gaining popularity—Flying Circus, or FC for short—and, fascinated by it, immediately joins the school's FC Club.
>She and her teammates sometimes clash, but they also support one another in the pursuit of their respective goals as they take on formidable rivals and look to triumph in the summer FC tournament.
>AOKANA: Four Rhythm Across the Blue comes from director Fumitoshi Oizaki (ETOTAMA). The cast includes Misato Fukuen (Yoshika Miyafuji in Strike Witches) as Asuka Kurashina, Azumi Asakura, (Yukiho Hagiwara in THE IDOLM@STER) as Misaki Tobisawa, and Nozomi Yamamoto (Satoko Nakajima in GIRLS und PANZER) as Mashiro Arisaka, Madoka Yonezawa (Ui Hirasawa in K-ON!) as Rika Ichikawa, and Ryota Osaka (Eijun Sawamura in Ace of the Diamond) as Masaya Hinata. The series is being produced by studio Gonzo, known for Linebarrels of Iron and Leviathan: the last defense.).

>>135864520

I just remember the VN specifically addressing this issue. Since your body is generally slanted while flying, it's generally not a problem.

>>135863710
>No hype

It's a harem and it's not made by A1 or Silver Link (or Kyoanus). Guess why.

But people will watch the 1st episode anyway and if it's good hype will increase.

>>135864712

It'd be pretty easy. They would just have to use different camera angles.

>>135865126
Pretty much. I don't mind simple, weekly threads though.

>>135864180
Maybe they've caught on that most VNs simply gets butchered when adapted to an anime.

>>135864991

The music is amazing and it does a good job of showing the personalities of the important girls. Thankfully, Rika aka worst girl doesn't seem to have a lot of screentime.

>>135863710
>not watching
Well nigga say what it is atleast

>>135865456
What really saddens me is that someone's doing the show's OP and few people seem to be really excited about either the OP or the anime itself.

>>135863710

/a/:

>omh why nobody knowz this super kewl show guise I never see you talking about it!

/a/ when you ask for name of some show:

I found the reason why almost no one hyped about this.

It's not even good harem

Phantom World is far better

>>135863710
Gonzo actualy decent after bankrupt so i have hope but seriously man nobody cares about koichoco before. Are you thinking Ao no Kanata not get the same treatment?

>>135865864

The difference is Aokana is good, Koichoco is bad, Chisato is shit, and Asuka is best.

>>135865934
What's the egs score for this?

>>135866424

It won the 2014 moe game award.

>>135863710
Thanks for letting us know. After looking at the VN's translation site, I'm feeling quite excited. It's like I'm discovering VNs for the first time again, and what a great feeling it is. I feel like going back to reading them now.

>>135863934
it's huge in Japan.

even mah dick is huge in Japan.

>>135869655
Asuka truly a best.

Chisato a shit.

>>135871615

Koichoco's only problem was worst girl winning. Hopefully sprite has learned from their mistake.

VN adaptions are almost always terrible because they have to combine all the routes.

>>135871909

Dunno if they'll do that for Aokana. They're really pushing Asuka as the main heroine hard, and Rika is nowhere to be seen in the PV.

>>135869655
>>135863710
Pink is pretty cute. They'd better have a flying beach episode if not flying onsen scenes. They could shoot a geyser of hot water into the air and fly through it naked to take baths.

>>135863710
That image alone tells me it'll be shit.

>>135873140

Going by the VN's OP, there will be a beach episode.

I hope they do a good job of portraying just how fast they go.

>>135865559
You are retarded. Do your own research you cunt.

>>135875815

Can Rika not being worst girl even be argued? It's no wonder she's barely featured in promotional material.

>>135875815
>>135876102
What is wrong with Rika ? Many anons say she is the worst, even reviews say that but almost nobody says why is she the worst ?

>>135876796

Just a general shit. She beat up the MC because he accidentally pulled down her skirt and has the most awkward fanservice cliches in general such as when MC sees her changing since her window was open.

Main girl is cute as fuck. Hope she wins like the main heroine in Koi to choco

>>135876796
Personally I don't think she's bad as a heroine honestly, she's just unremarkable. It's just her route being bad is the nail in the coffin for her.

I guess contrast with Misaki, who has a really funny personality and is hot as fuck, but her route was almost TRYING to make you hate her. She's still somewhat popular as a character, but still hated by some people because of her route.

>>135876998

The fuck's with that swimsuit.

>>135863710
>Gonzo
Found the problem.
I'll wait for the VN translations, even if they're slow as fuck.
It's an award winning VN with Koichoco's group, but fuck Gonzo.

>>135864991
>magical girls
>generic harem crap
At least do some research before making a fool of yourself.
Hint: the OP image is misleading.
Either way you should kill yourself, for expecting another generic mahou shoujo.

>>135863710
Oh well OP if I am you, I will glad have little hype like Sore ga Seiyuu and people watched it still thinking one of best anime last year. The thread will fun, comfy, no shitposter and only good discussion with arguing who best girl like usual.

>and 2016 want these secondary, shitposters, filthy riajuu and casualfag watch your favorite anime

>>135864180
>doesn't appear to be getting a lot of hype
Because GONZO.

If AIC was doing it, people would be hyped for it. R.I.P. ;_;
VN translation is nearly done, avoid it like the plague. If you don't want the experience ruined, that is.

>>135863710
>flying with mini skirt
Fucking dropped

Does anyone knows where to get the VN? It would be my first time trying a VN in Japanese and it looks nice and interesting.

The second opening of the vn makes it look like a sport shonen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-6-ygxehM .
I tried to read it in japanese because I heard it wasn't to hard, but it seems I'm not good enough yet.

>>135879361
It's on sukebei.

>>135879361
Just wait. It will get translation this year unless editing limbo happen like Sumaga and Seinarukana or the translation just dead and disappear like Iroseka.

>the VN is big in Japan
>never heard of it

>>135879479
Can't find it.
>>135879612
I kinda want to try reading a VN in Japanese. It should help a beginner like me.

You can go to /vn/ thread in /vg/ and try using ATLAS with agth/ith first. Then slowly reading in japanese when you ready.

By the way, OP single covers are out. And they simply look stunning. I'm going to be really pissed if it (and/or the show) flops.

Am I dense, idiot, or was I just played for a fool? Thanks anyway. Is ATLAS for machine translation?

>>135880218
Yeah

>>135880218
Did you use the japanese title? You can use vndb to get the japanese title.

>>135880218
I just copied 蒼の彼方のフォーリズム from the YT link near the OP and got a result. You're sure you've entered it at sukebei or without the quotation marks?

>>135863710
Good, the less popular shows are usually the ones with the best threads.

>>135863710
No one except retards will watch this. 50+ hour VN condensed into 12 episodes just doesn't work. It has never worked and all previous VN adaptions like this have failed.

>>135881238
KoiChoco was a failure?

Flying boots? Could this be more retarded?
Do they also wear miniskirts while flying? Otherwise it wouldn't be worth to watch.

>>135881332
Yes, and the source for that was a below average SoL VN with no depth even. Ao Kana is way denser and harder to adapt properly.

>>135881445
>with no depth
What does this mean?

>>135881487
It's as bare bones of a cast and story as you can possibly get. The only good point about it was the art.

Looks like another season of SaO

What are chances they're going to adapt just a common route?
I might watch it, then.

>>135881513
Can you give me examples of SoL VNs with depth.

>>135863710
2nd half of sao seems better (1st season)

>>135881544
Hoshizora no Memoria

>>135881351
There are times they wear their uniforms and other times they were some kind of bodysuit (during actual competitions, I think).

>>135876796

Her route is terrible and completely unrelated to the whole thing, it just exists.

So this is better than Koichoco right? Also a better main heroine than Chisato? If the answer to both of them is I'm in.

>>135871909
This doesn't happen often. Most of the time who is meant to be the heroine is obvious and that the route they go for. Like with Clannad.

>>135863770
>Japan loved the VN
Not really, it didn't get great ratings.
It sold well due to the artist though

>>135879629
>>135882465
It's not necessarily big, but it won a few awards.
Got an anime quite fast too, even if it's fucking Gonzo.
There were threads about it last year.

>>135881445
Not to mention AIC is vastly superior to Gonzo. The anime is going to be shit, I'm avoiding it outright. The VN will be translated within a month or two.

>>135881537
0% probably. They'll force romance, try to get waifuVNfag's dollars.

>>135882249
>better than Koichoco right
The VN is, it won awards. The anime, definitely not.
It's by fucking GONZO. The main heroine is obviously better than Chisato, she's a massive shit.

>>135882067
Why are you so obsessed with this adaptation? Not like you've read the VN.
VN adaptations are usually terrible, no use trying to hope it will do well (as a stand alone series)..
Is Mami Kawada doing the OP or some shit?

>>135882505
It won the Moege Award last year because there was literally nothing else, 2014 was extremely empty eroge wise
This award itself mean nothing

>>135882568
Yes, yes she is.

>>135880058

>>135882568
She also did the original VN's OP and "grand" ED, if you weren't aware.

>>135863770
looks like worthless garbage for chuuni kids.

>>135882607
Well, you're dedicated. I'll give you that (for a flip).
But I'm afraid to say she won't make a comeback until Index 3.
I remember you watched Tokyo Ravens hoping it would happen, to no avail to.
I hope they play some of her songs in mogra tonight, for your sake.

>>135882584
Well shit, that's disappointing then.
The premise sounds comfy, and the KoiChoco designs are nice though, so I'll play it anyway.

>>135882688
It's sport story, I don't see where you are getting the chuuni thing.
The whole story is basically about genius >>> effort, enjoy how the main heroine who is a newbie destroy everyone else because she is a GENIUS

>>135882735
Sadly I doubt Index 3 is ever happening, so I guess it's safe to say her career's dead, I guess.

>GONZO
that's all it took OP, 5 seconds to find the reason
just look up who makes it next time before making stupid threads.

>>135882767
It will happen.
The nips want it badly, plus it sells.
They're saving it as a last minute money maker or something, like Kizu.
I think we will get an Intellectual village adaptation soon too, so afterwards maybe.

>>135879629
>it's not translated
>you've never heard of it
Not surprising.

>>135882505
Aokana sold pretty well though. Not the best seller but it's undeniably one of the more popular eroge of that year.

>>135882823
I was saying until then (should it happen), her sales are pretty much doomed to be rather low. I really hope Contrail ~Kiseki~ will sell well, but thinking that it will be a huge hit will border on being delusional, sadly.

>>135882882
I feel sorry for her, I did like her earlier music.
Hopefully she makes a comeback one day.
This remix is great, I hope it plays at mogra one day.
