>>135787530
The first part 2 is obviously part 1.

>>135787432
Is Shinbo really directing it or is it just a sick lie?

I'm not sure if that with the character section was planned this way.

>>135787574
yes

AOTY confirmed

>>135788463

Yup, I think I like SHAFT again.

>>135787530
Finally seems like Shaft are getting back in form.

>>135788463
It's gonna be fucking shit.
Shinbo will butcher the source material.
Madhouse should have animated this, now that JC Staff is a shadow of its former self.

>>135789093
>Madhouse should have animated this
Kill yourself.

>>135787432
How many cour?

>>135787432
This looks interesting.
Is this original or adaptation?

>>135789109
You first, if you really think Shaft is more suited than Madhouse for a normalfag drama seinen adaption like this.

Thank you based shaft

when was the last time shinbo actually directed something?

>>135789093
Shinbou will work closely with the author as he always does and it will be a lengthy faithful adaption. I don't see why people are being so pessimistic about this apart from maybe Shaft visuals which I'm sure will be toned right down to fit the mood of the series.

>>135789226

Shinbo's the best. Umino-sensei agreed. Don't bother her about it.

>>135789298
>lengthy faithful adaptionadaption
Source?
The manga is 11 volumes long already and it isn't gonna end any time soon, there will never be a complete adaption.

>>135789093
>Madhouse
I had myself a good laugh

>>135789395
> Umino-sensei agreed
When?

>>135789406
It airs on a NHK mainstream slot. If the show has good ratings it will get another season until its finished.

>>135789406
Who knows but it will probably have multiple seasons, see Hidamari, SZS, Nisekoi, Monogatari, etc

>>135789532
also gorillion OVAs

Shinbou hasn't directed anything in years and most likely won't be directing this either.

>Worshiped Mr or Simbo's works like Bakemonogatari, Madoka Magica, Arakawa Under the Bridge and Zetsubō Sensei, I said "Only SHAFT, and with Akiyuki Simbo in control!". If this dream wasn't realized, I think I would have refused the anime adaptation of my manga. I am very happy! I intend to help and encourage him as best I can.

>>135789690

>>135789701

Also longer than 1 cour.

We will get at least 2 cour. Mostlikely more incoming.

That's bigger than what Dennou Coil was supposed to be on NHK-E.

Good news.

Hyped as fuck.

I remember this being tagged as romance when I started reading it a while ago but never really got that feel from it. Does it ever happen or is it all shogi?

Everything is in place, and SHAFT needs to just not fuck up. I hope they stick closely to the original character designs and that the backgrounds are detailed and not too minimalistic. Not too worried about them and the color scheme given the website matching the manga's color pages.

>>135787432

>>135789298

I still made at shaft for ruining Natsu no Arashi

>>135791072
>ruining Natsu no Arashi

>>135789648
Its good manga. And even those who did not read it, love Honey and Clover.

Shaft and Shinbo having anything to do with this is a disaster on level of having him adapt next season of Hyouka.

>>135791097
Turning Great manga from based School Rumble author in pretentious boring shit with random visuals and flat humour.

The only thing shaft is good nowadays is erotic fanservice, nothing else. Even Monogatari is shit adaptation if you actually read the novels.

It has been revealed in the second issue of this year's Young Animal magazine that the TV anime adaptation of 3-gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) will be animated by studio Shaft. In addition, Akiyuki Shinobu is directing the upcoming series, and it will air on NHK in Fall 2016.

Synopsis
The protagonist is Rei, a 17-year-old shogi player. He lives by himself, does not have a family, does not go to school, and has scarcely any friends. Among his acquaintances is a family, which consists of a young woman, Akari, and two young girls, Momo and Hinata, and who also keep a numerous number of cats. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)

3-gatsu no Lion is drawn by Chika Umino and began publishing in 2007 with 11 volumes in print. The series was nominated for the 2nd Manga Taisho Award in 2009. In 2011, it won the 4th Manga Taisho Award and the 35th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category (shared with Uchuu Kyoudai). In 2014, it also won the Grand Award of the 18th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.

>better animation than SHAFT

>>135792118
Who are you quoting?

>>135792118
Shaft coudnt even achieve level of Mekakushi fanmade AMVs when making the anime, so what did you expect?

>>135791897
I really hope this is the OP.
Bump of Chicken are great, plus it's a really comfy song.
Suits the theme of the manga perfectly.

>>135792516
I think that's a pretty safe bet.

>>135787530
What happened to the second half of Owari?

>>135789741
>Arakawa Under the Bridge and Zetsubō Sensei

Umino's a bro.

>>135792516
>I really hope this is the OP.
zero chance

Sugita has promoted the manga since forever on Anigera, both with or without Umino present herself (she's the most frequent female guest after Yukana). I wonder if he'll get a role with his good relations (thanks to HachiClo) or if she uses veto rights to fill the cast with old veterans to satisfy her ossan-moe needs.

Shaft is really good at keeping things loyal, so I have no worries with them doing the adaptation. The original authors have said that Shinbo listened to everything they requested and even asked for creative input for even the smallest of background details.

>>135791190
Try complaining to Kobayashi Jin, because he oversaw a fuckton of things in the anime and said he really loved the adaptation (source: the episode of web radio with him, Sugita and Yasumoto).

>>135792885
Nothing is announced.

Maybe in the second half of the year. There is basically a two cour show left for all remaining stories.

>>135792983
>and said he really loved the adaptation
Says every man involved in production ever to promote his show.

Best possible choice for an adaptation.

The recent boring adaptation did nothing in Japan.

>>135793117
You obviously know nothing about Japan, they shit on shit adaptation all the fucking time.

>>135793233
Except thats fucking false. There only few cases authors publicly displayed dislikes of adoptations were they were in no way involved in production, nor gained any profits from anime. The rest obidiently will node and tell whatever they are told to no matter how shit the anime is.

Last i remember where author openly called anime shit was Arata Kangatari

>>135793300

Is this the new Your Lie in April?

>>135794635
Well, it's happened. The people endlessly complaining about how it'd get compared to Shigatsu by idiots have persuaded a shitposter to compare it to Shigatsu for bait. Good job, guys.

>>135794635
The difference is shitgatsu is shit and this is actually good.

>>135794475
Lack of budget, lack of creativity to handle it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc7T8P9Cy2Q

Is in such a different league.

>>135794714
this is good to hear because Shigatsu's constant out of place comedy was obnoxious as fuck

>>135794682
It's quite meta when you think about it.

>>135794738
Everything about Shigatsu was obnoxious as fuck.

>>135794523
They also fucked up Mekaku's designs and lost a lot of detail on Koufuku's. But generally I agree, they are pretty good at adapting designs.

>>135794716
well to be fair this is one of the most highly praised episodes in anime, the above honey and clover scene doesn't look worse than your usual anime scene

>>135794883
That's the problem with the Honey & Clover anime. It's quite the mass produced show without even the attempt to interpret it in a meaningful way.

>>135794774
>>135794738
the manga didn't feel that way. maybe the anime just handled it poorly? too heavy handed maybe?

>>135794738
That was the least of Shigatsu's problems.

>>135794738
That they didn't could shut up when the music was playing was maybe the worst thing.

>>135794939
>mass produced
Oh, so it is the same shitposter from the last thread. Just give up already, it's not Kasai or Nagai's fault you can't appreciate emotional cues.

>>135794939
It's also kind of sad when even talented people like Tsutomu Mizushima are wasted on such mass produced nonsense.

Never seen a single thread about this manga before the adaptation was announced. Are Shaft lickers hyping this garbage like they did with Megaflop Shitty Actors? . Miku garbage is 10 times more popular than whatever this author has what before so I'm expecting huge flop.

>>135795264
Superb taste anon.
I haven't stopped listening to it either.
Bump of Chicken are amazing.

>>135792516

>>135798548
Holy fuck, how new are you?

>>135798636
Post at least 5 achieved threads of this manga from 2014.

>>135798675
the archive for 2009 to 2014 is gone anon.

>>135798763
also 2008

archive time traveling was more fun than actually posting here rip

>>135798907
parts of 2008 are up, at the very least I can still see the very first post I ever made on /a/.

>>135793472
I figured they absolutely had to be involved since it had all the signs of their kind of planning and choice to adapt. Award winning manga, tons of copies sold and who else would just give this to Shaft of all studios? My guess is A-1 was just too full on projects so they gave it to their other favorite studio.

>>135798763
so what's the new go to archive?
The official one sucks since it doesn't do pruned or deleted threads

>>135797196
>He could have kept going in Kyoto
Even Shaft admits the overwhelming superiority of KyoAni.

>>135799239
Umino Chica has explicitly stated she wanted Shaft to do it. Why come up with conspiracy theories when the truth is already out there?

>>135799239

The last time they did this kind of shit we got Mekaku City Actors. Like virtually exact same marketing campaign so far. Quote the number of volumes sold and award winning popularity and get the original author to make some quote praising SHAFT as the best and only possible choice to try to placate concerned fans when anyone with a brain knows the only reason SHAFT was chosen was because Aniplex and them are good. Might as well just consider SHAFT A-2 Pictures at this point and call it a day.

Anyway now that's 100% confirmed you can for sure expect the cast loaded up with the usual suspects and the music to be all Sony people. They can't possibly throw Yuki Kajiura on to this one though (or can they) so it'll be curious to see which one of their favorites gets the job.

>>135799400
the golden days are over anon they all suck

>>135799710
I blame r9k

File: 34.webm (2MB, 1012x560px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1012x560px

So this will be a Mekaku 2.0 in terms of marketing and flopping. And SHAFT looks like it has its hands full this year, I don't believe they'll do even a decent job animating it.

Pic related is the animation quality you should expect.

>>135799759
what happened, I miss the details on why they took down archive moe
was it because of the whole mass shooting that was falsely pinned on some /r9k/ loser?

>>135799545

Cause it's literally the exact same kind of sound bite Aniplex always seems to get out of original creators whenever they give something to a studio besides A-1, especially SHAFT. They even managed to get Nasu to do running commentary on Fate/Stay Night to give it the "full cred" when the first episode aired just gushing about absolutely everything and saying ufoTABLE was the best, perfect and only choice despite him being fine with Deen adapting it already apparently. It's not word for word the same kind of quote they got out of that Jin guy for Mekaku City Actors but pretty damn close and hitting up the same points.

So now they've got 8-bit working on a Rewrite adaptation, A-1 Pictures working on a Phoenix Wright adaptation and SHAFT working on an adaptation of a manga series that probably doesn't fit them at all. I wonder which mega-hyped project ends up the least disappointing for people. It's pretty sad that I find watching the inevitable salt and polarization more interesting than watching anime anymore, but I mean it's such a goddamn joke and 2016 looks at this point like it's pretty much going to just be repeating the exact same mistakes of 2014-2015 at least where the big shot producers stuff and shows that are supposed to be "good" are concerned.

>>135799829
yeah and then retards kept reposting the r9k link of it , which eventually got linked on major newsites overloading the servers and causing a physical failure, the nearest backup was 6 months behind so theres 6 months of /a/ posts that we are never getting back.

>>135799545
>Why come up with conspiracy theories when the truth is already out there
Because it's that one shitposter who goes on about marketing and brand names in every fucking thread about a show with Aniplex backing.

>>135799893
You're way behind, anon. Three months were lost from moe, desustorage got those from someone else but have fucked up getting the other stuff imported for /a/ because I don't know why.

>>135799893
they should have just let r9k out of the archive server but it's all too late for that anyways

>>135799807
this isn't going to have fast paced fighting in it, why are you so retarded?

>>135799902

Cause it keeps fucking applying to the situation every single time. That's what they do and it sure explains a lot though it was blindingly obvious from the moment it was announced to be Shaft and airing on NHK both of whom Aniplex is heavily affiliated with. They are the only people that could possibly think giving it to Shaft would be a great idea, probably because they're thinking strictly commercially again.

>>135800068
It doesn't matter, stop spamming your hatred for the industry everywhere. You must have written a novel's worth of posts saying the same four things about Aniplex and VN/LN writers by now.

If you are so worried that at SHAFT they don't give a shit about the original manga / novels of their shows then just remember what they did with SZS. They already knew how the manga would have ended *years* before its actual end, and it suddenly became obvious only when... well, the manga ended. Just an hint: KAFUKA.

>>135800068
> Cause it keeps fucking applying to the situation every single time
>there's something I don't like, and it happens with several shows a season, so I write several paragraphs on the subject in every thread about each of those shows every season

Why would Sony not let it happen?
Kekkai got a BoC song last year, plus a new one at that.
Surely it can't be that much of a hurdle. The mangaka and BoC have a thing going, after all. She was very picky about the staff, why not the OP music?

If they were thinking strictly about numbers they would have chosen a different studio, one more suited to the type of manga they're dealing with.

SHAFT has proved time and time again that they can't capture for shit the essence of shows that aren't Bake, Madoka, Hidamari or SZS. Just look at recent shows like Vampire Bund, Sasami, DenpaOna, Maria Holic, Arakawa, Soredemo, Graffiti, Mekaku, Natsu no Arashi. All sub-par flops.

>>135800241
>SHAFT exclusively works with Sony record label, for OP/ED music
Yeah sure thing. Good thing facts say otherwise. ClariS for example.

>>135800377

This is just them going with their favorites by the looks of it. We'll know to what degree when the full staff and cast is announced. They'll probably get the original author involved somehow for cred purposes.

Yeah sure people was saying the very same thing even before they did Hidamari, SZS, Bake and Madoka.

>>135800449

Claris is directly affiliated with Sony Music Records. I remember when there was this one episode of OreImo where the cast would not shut up about how amazing they are.

That bullshit

>>135800476

I think it also is them thinking again with numbers considering their obsession with the studio since Bake and Madoka though you think Mekaku City Actors and how that turned out might have slowed down the relationship. Almost certain this is an Atsuhiro Iwakami decision in any case since he's the one with the major hard on for Shaft and to some extent ufoTABLE as well, but especially Shaft. At a glance:

>Monogatari
>Hidamari Sketch
>Mekaku City Actors
>Madoka
>Salami-San

The marketing for this is going to start getting absolutely outrageous probably starting in June/July.

>>135800500

After 200 seasons of Hidamari and SZS people grow to accustomed of them, it's not like they're big sellers. Monogatari and Madoka fit their style perfectly I'm not arguing that. But I'm more inclined to believe those are lucky shots combined with Aniplex marketing since out of the over 25 series they have and 60 cours they've made only a handful of them can be considered good.

>>135789093
Madhouse has had worse talent bleeding than JC Staff though.

>>135801005

>>135805400

Not very close.

The family scenes are similar, but they aren't the focus of 3GnL as they are in LsL. And there is no overarching romance, it is more like he's finding himself and becoming a family member than a lover.

(btw, Love so Life is another one that could use a adaption. When it's cute, it's really, really cute.)

>>135807395
>You're not wrong but you're being too harsh with H&C.
It had the makings of something that could have been great, but it was plagued with poorly done drama in the vein that I'd expect from a hack like Okada (not quite that bad, but you get the point). I don't think I'm being harsh, because I don't have anything against the mangaka. I'm very glad they improved their writing skills, and it shows how far they've come with sangatsu. If it seems like I'm too eager to lay into it, it's probably because I think it's overrated to hell and back here, and people who haven't watched or read it should be getting a real idea of what kind of series it is instead of "10/10 perfect character drama, I rewatch twice a year and cry every time"

Eh I never got that impression, it seemed to me a work rather juvenile and without pretence, closer to a shoujo than to a josei, from the beginning.
I was more bothered by the weird directions some storylines took in the second half than by the character drama itself, that I had no expectation to be mindblowing.
I agree that it's kind of overrated here tho

>>135807397

>>135808307
The friendship stuff was done alright, and the varied cast that wasn't a harem of highschool kids was nice. Outside of Maison Ikkoku, we don't usually see those. The romance and drama is what killed it for me.

I'll still never understand some people's fixation on series that try so hard to be in your face "mature" about those sorts of themes. They always fall flat on their face.

Yamada's was good but the guy she was paired with was an asspull.

Shaft

I would also say KyoAni if they would adopt the character designs.

I like Shaft sometimes but their artistic 2deep style doesn't fit this anime, nor a lot of series.

Their lack of animation most the time and silly backgrounds are only enjoyable sometimes.
