The original OVAs were the only good things.

Well, rip thread.

I've seen the anime, OVA and read the manga (both which were translated).

What's there not finished to the story? I thought the TV series has a perfect ending (not so good otherwise..) and the OVA is gorgeous and a lot of fun.

But ultimately it doesn't really have a plot anymore, does it? Just episodic shit at this point, because the TV series just literally ties it all up very nicely.

Iirc the LNs take place before the manga. Dunno if they are even translated. I watched the OVA and read the manga years ago. The series is ancient at this point.

>>147991523
meh, I can hardly say I am interested. If only just for some well animated fight scenes, if we get those. But if they make a TV series, then chances are slim it will even have good animation.

I liked the OVA+ TV series combination and I honestly didn't like the manga.

It's gonna be a disaster most likely unless it gets a proper budget. But I have no idea how popular this series is in nipland. Having it descend into some qualidea code-tier side project would be just bad.

>The original OVAs were the only good things.
And the anime studio actually went WAY beyond the normal quality they were expecting to deliver. But because of that, they refused to make the TV series, as they simply can't handle the expectations of replicating what the OVA had.

Kurata seems to have trouble with a lot of projects but he always has a bunch of interesting concepts. I wonder if this will be like Hellsing Ultimate where it follows the source material more closely, would be nice having an old fashioned OVA style series with the new R.O.D anime and each episode being about 40 minutes or so.

Sora no Woto

>>147996447
I meant if the shows were good animation-wise. Shinsekai yori fell apart in a QUALITY fest. Most likely because SAO was airing at the same time and it stole all their staff.

Yomiko was my first waifu, before the term was even popularized.

>>147996619

Excuse the misinterpretation then since I've barely slept at all today due to flu. How are the BD transfers since I downloaded them a while ago? I think I used AHQ for the DVD version but I've been meaning to watch my waifu's series again sometime soon.

Also does anyone think it would be neat if they ever get round to making a Franken Fran anime, I know impossible, that The Paper Sister's seiyuus should voice Fran and her sisters? Since I can actually imagine them doing decently at the jobs. It's also who I imagined when reading along on my first time.

Birth: ???

Interesting, they never really state who Yomiko's parents are in the series, I'm guessing it is irrelevant outside her being half Japanese and English but I imagine she's the result of an experiment of some kind.
