Soon.
Hopefully we'll get some reactions after the prescreening.
When this is airing again? Last weekend seems empty as fuck compared to previous season.

We look forward to not having you shitting up the threads, then.

Hopefully it won't be as dull as LWA's first episode.

You have some pretty terrible taste friend
>>152027980
I didn't think it was dull but certainly very predictable
rdy
This is going to flop like Nichijou.
Guys, LWA ended up being very good. They're going to laugh at us even if this show ends well.
People say that the ED is really good.
>>152027980
>>152030348
Why brought up LWA?
>>152030877
Shitposting to create activity in the thread. I really wish people were more creative than this.
>>152030877
Both are very anticipated here and about almost all female cast. One is just yuri tension and other is pure yuri. Made by meme studios.
Event over, let's see what they say

Great animation.
Great pacing and very funny.
Tōru was cute!.
Buying the original manga.
Typical KyoAni anime that makes you smile.
Yuuki Kuwahara (Tōru's VA) sat in front of me at the screening and I was nervous the whole night!
Very funny as I hoped.
Don't miss any episode, the second episode is very exiting - Takemoto
Many people talking about the pacing and how cute is Tōru, and her VA nailing her voice since it's her first main character that isn't a silent-ish kuudere or with a boyish voice.
Takemoto should resign.
>>152031327
>Great animation.
Okay, but I'm more interested in finding out if it stands to be one of the best-animated shows this season.
第1話先行上映、京アニとクール教信者作品という意外な組合せですけどちゃんと双方の味がしっかり出ているのは流石。あと、作曲クレジットにコトリンゴさんの名前もありましたよ。
>Big boob moe shitface dragon

>>152031327
What kind of people is able to get to these events?
These sound like huge fanboys who wouldn't say any criticism.
>>152031434
It has no chance against LWA.
Fucking Inoue and Honda are working on the show.
>>152031434
Maybe if LWA shits the bed after the first half of the season, which it might. First episode looked good but we know how Trigger rolls.
>>152031503
They are called paid professionals. They spread the word.

It wasn't an exclusive event if that's what you're asking.
>>152031507
I doubt Inoue did anything significant, he probably animated a couple of cuts as a favour for Yoshinari.
A lot of praise for Tooru, might become seasonal a meme girl on /a/.
>>152031434
At least we already know the animation will be consistent throughout.
First red flag
>監督によれば2話、3話と右肩上がりに面白くなっていくとのこと。
The excuse every director uses when he knows something's wrong.
I lost any expectation when the artstyle is the usual kyoani style and not the manga's.
Production Committee:
Pony Canyon, Lantis, ABC Asahi and KyoAni
>>152031797
Is that in order?
>>152031833
Some people are placing KyoAni first but who knows

Is it the ED or the OP? Who sings the ED anyway?
>>152031950
The VAs
>>152031950
Last song of the second PV is the ED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okBHQWnYImg
>>152031833
Apparently KyoAni is first
>>152031995
sounds pretty comfy
>>152027403
Finally a KyoAni show without standard KyoAni faces.
>>152031909
I am looking forward to the anime but design-wise she is the worst Shinka model so far.
A few people commented on the animation but the PVs didn't particularly have any standout shots.
>>152027403
I really want to see Kobayashi in action.
Especially when she's drunk and on a maid rampage
>>152033259
Probably because she's not a Shinka model.
>>152027403
My reaction: it's shit.
>>152031327
Sounds like GodAni made another masterpiece
>>152031909
Tooru is Kobayashi wife and you can't denial this
>>152035900
Thanks leddit
The wait is long
>>152033259
nobody liked shinka before the show startedexcept me
GETTING CLOSE
>>152031797
Reports from today's #maidragon event say the committee is:
Kyoto Animation
Pony Canyon
Lantis
ABC Animation
>>152044476
This confirms KyoAni are COOL fans
>>152044476
What?
KyoAni is the top of the committee?
They funded this?
>>152031909
I want to fuck that dragon
Maid dragon is gonna look like ass against all the other cute girl anime that are this season
>>152044476
Figures really. I was surprised the PV was first released at KyoAni's channel. Had this been another Amagi, this would've come out on some other channel.
What surprises me is they actually got this material for their own. So we could probably see this in KyoAni's event.
>>152031765
>google this
>first result is for Wake Up Girls
I'm dying
>>152044476
Oh Kyoanis going to take this failure up the ass arent they.
>>152044476
>Tooru will appear with Shouko and Violet at the end of the year
>>152031765
So basically it's boring?
>>152046058
He said
"I gets interesting in episode 3."
>>152046178
There are a lot of CGDCT anime this season for kyoani to be fucking up.
Why are Kyoani shows one of the last to start in the season.
>>152030348
there can be more than one good show in a season.
Fuck off.
>>152027980
>LWA
>dull
>>152046256
>Why are Kyoani shows one of the last to start in the season.
A cour is generally 12-13 episodes long. Many shows that start in January start a week late due to New Years programming, so end up with 12 episodes. Sometimes a show only has enough content for 12 episodes and that's what they booked for.
>>152044787
>What?
>KyoAni is the top of the committee?
>They funded this?
I was wondering why KyoAni's name was so prominent in the trailers themselves. So now we know they coughed up the cash for he privilege.
I am starting to think KyoAni might feel that their attempts to publish their own novels hadn't been as profitable as they wished. If this means they would start funding manga that might be a good trend. It worked very well for Eupho that KyoAni funded that too.
>>152048914
It's been profitable enough for them to buy outside IP, plus they've just published more LNs.
>>152048914
Publishing LN and adapting them doesn't mean they only want to do that. Their directors probably read things from outside Kyoani that they'd like to see turned into anime as well.
>>152049151
>It's been profitable enough for them to buy outside IP, plus they've just published more LNs.
>>152049236
>Their directors probably read things from outside Kyoani that they'd like to see turned into anime as well.
I just want to emphasise that in general, Anime studios don't buy IPs. They had always been either contracted to make something for an IP owner, or made their own IPs to animate.
I am sure KyoAni isn't the first anime studio to buy IPs for their own use, but it is certainly not standard practice.
This method had been how Hollywood get their film rights for decades. But it is still relatively unusual for Anime studios to do this.
>>152049320
It honestly sounds pretty risky.
>>152049511
Hibikek and especially Koe no Katachi worked out well.
>>152049600
>Hibikek and especially Koe no Katachi worked out well.
I forgot about Koe no Katachi. So that means Maid Dragon is the 2nd manga that KyoAni sponsored. This certainly seem like a deliberate company strategy now.
Tooru's voice is annoying
>>152049848
She's cute
>>152045774
Well if this flops, there's always their hyped-up project, VEG to cover the failure.>implying VEG won't be a flop too
>>152050099
To be honest, neither of them sound like things with high selling potentional, but it is kyoani so who knows.
>>152050099
More VEG info when?
>>152050160
>To be honest, neither of them sound like things with high selling potentional, but it is kyoani so who knows.
KyoAni knows they just need a plot that isn't horrible to make money. The question is where to get it. They only had partial success with their publishing arm because they could only hire leftovers that Kadokawa rejected. However, there are small time publishers out there who have decent manga and novels, that could have their animation rights purchased for an affordable price. The issue is they wouldn't get the profits from boosted sales of the original work, but if that's what it takes to get decent scripts KyoAni has likely decided it is worth it.
>>152050314
Kyoani still hasn't had a big seasonal hit since Free! though.
>"maid dragon? sounds like it could be interesting"
>it's pedo shit
welp
>>152050383
But their profits keep going up? Explain this
>>152050415
>office ladies
>pedoshit
>>152050415
You what?
>>152050462
LN publishing and movies?
>>152050462
If it doesn't sell like K-on it's a flop
Above average sales? Who cares, it's a flop if it sells less than K-on
>>152050383
>Kyoani still hasn't had a big seasonal hit since Free! though.
They don't need "big seasonal hits". They are not a massive corporation, they just need stable output that people are willing to buy. The whole point of doing both inhouse and buying IPs is to get a larger share of the sales. This means for example, even though they sold far more Haruhi and K-On DVDs, Kyoani's share of the money is barely more if not less than their recent releases.
It's just that their inhouse production of novels had been rather detrimental to their reputation, so getting some decent scripts via buying IPs would hopefully change things around.
>>152050415
>I literally don't even know what i'm saying the post.
>>152044112
I call shenanigans!
I doubt kyoani is leading the committee. Unlike shows where they are, social media and websites aren't being maintained by them. The PVs went up in their YT channel probably because out of all the companies involved they have the highest reach and subscribers.
>>152045774
Yep. KyoAni is the next Gonzo.
Funding all these trash nobody wants. I'll give them 3 years till they dip in the red.
>>152051638
They are leading it.
>>152052249
Says who?
>>152052393
>Says who?
You know the “Grand sponsor Tokyo day OH Christmas” message?
If KyoAni is on the top of the list, then they are the biggest sponsor. The list is organised by importance.
How is there literally no nsfw art of this show? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?
>>152052093
If this sells less 1k vol one it'll hurt a lot if Kyoani is taking the brunt of the risk regardlesss if they get more out of it than most companies.
>>152033259
She is not a shinka at all
>>152052501
>You know the “Grand sponsor Tokyo day OH Christmas” message?
I haven't seen those messages in years since subbers cut them out but I do remember either Phantom World or Hibike most recently having Pony Canyon listed first during that specific message (ご覧のスポンサーの提供でお送りします). But during credits in the text that actually says production committee (製作委員会), KyoAni is first. If they're assuming KyoAni is on top of the committee because of that message, I'd take it with a grain of salt and wait for the show to come out.
>If KyoAni is on the top of the list, then they are the biggest sponsor. The list is organised by importance.
If that's the case and KyoAni really is funding most of this project, why aren't they treating it like one of their own franchises? Little things like the Maid Dragon Twitter not following KyoAni back or the website not having a single KyoAni logo makes me doubt for the validity of that claim. They're probably involved but I doubt they're leading the committee.
>>152052596
Then create some
>>152053597

KyoAni literally own the Phantom World IP AND bought the animation right for Hibike. So YES, KyoAni is on the top of the Committee for BOTH examples.
>>152053698
I think you didn't understand what I posted.
>>152052610
Eh, it'll probably sells 1.5k at its worst.
>>152053919
>>152052610
I honestly don't think it'll even sell enough to rank on Oricon. Cool is just not popular and Maidragon is one of his least popular works. There's barely any marketing behind this show, if it sells it will be because of word of mouth, but I don't see it being that good for otaku to go out of their way and shill it, just entertaining.
If this sells well we should get a Furumapura anime soon.
