WHY YES ILL BE WATCHING THIS!!
Hopefully Ill get around to reading the manga first XD But man Suzuka Oda's art for the 2nd manga is hot!! Of course I'm biased to her since I love her KHR doujins <3 Considering how Sensei and Sage see the comparisons to this and Ghost Hunt if I wasn't watching this I'd be kicked out of class XD |
I'm all over this (and Shiki too). :D
According to the official website it will run for 13 episodes. Enough to adapt a book or two? Oda Suzuka's art is hot indeed, but I find Suzuki Yasushi's novel cover illustrations the best. They're so pretty and stylish. |

I AM SO WATCHING THIS just to oggle Yakumo...erm I mean for the great plot. :D

Sensei will definitely kick you out of her class if you don't watch. :heh: I have my own portable T.V. to watch in detention. :p Quote:
This image of Yakumo from the original novels is nice too...more realistic and a bit darker than the manga versions. Hopefully we'll get a bit more of the romance where GH lacked. :heh: ...and another scary doll episode??? :twitch: Anyone planning on watching this in the dark? :eyespin: Thanks for creating this thread, LKK. :cool: |

Those three stories were actually in the first book. Here's my guess if they choose to do two books.
Novel 1: 2-2-3 eps Novel 2: 6 eps I nabbed some images from the author's official website. The novels have covers by two different illustrators. Akatsuki Katoh for the Bungeisha edition and Suzuki Yasushi for the Kadokawa Shoten edition. Spoiler for Akatsuki Katoh:
Spoiler for Suzuki Yasushi:
ps. pd_yakumo @ LJ exists :cool: |

Thanks also for the pics and the LJ information! |
This anime seems to have lot in common with my fave genre of animes . But the covers sorta scare me away . Is this in any way BL , need to know ? ^^

Short answer to your question: No, it's not BL. On another note, it seems that Yakumo will draw in the audience the way Naru did for Ghost Hunt. :heh: |
All of them :heh: ...... I been following this genre from quite a long time . But thanks though on the enlightenment regarding Seinen : D
IMO reminds me more of Kindaichi Case Files more so the LVA |
Wow, this sounds awesome. I really enjoyed Ghost Hunt. By the way, the novel covers remind me so much of Naru from GH. :heh:
|
If you think those covers remind you of Naru, check this other one by Ritsu Miyako in the first manga adaptation:
Spoiler for save space:
|
@Zu Ra maybe cuz Suzuka Oda draws BL doujins you were confused?? :heh:
@Sage in that pic both could easily pass for Naru and Mai, its scary. |
Wow! Now I want a sequel of GH in their older years! :heh: Nah, I'm pretty sure I will enjoy watching this.
|
I'm really hoping this is an actual adaptation and not some sort of continued story like the live-action series was. I really want to see the first case (from the manga, anyway) animated.
Also, personally, I preferred the first manga's art to the more recent one. Haruka was more attractive. |

I have to agree with you on Haruka. Miyako's character design for Haruka is more mature and prettier than Oda's Haruka, who looks more like a high school senior than a University student. But I've only seen the first chapter, so maybe Oda's Haruka will grow on me. But if the anime went with Miyako's character design...I'd get too much of a GH vibe and that's not good either. :heh: |
