...I'm not sure what your point is, but yes, Index is a very big-name series and JC Staff's adaptation of it isn't exactly stellar.

Oh yeah, I always misunderstood that HnA was from Dengeki.

I definitely also thought of Denpa Onna when I saw the character designs.

if we're talking about action animation, JC staff seems to know how to conserve its budget for the right moments; one must remember that they work with limited budgets. if we're talking about plot adaptation, it adapted and stripped before, and while it has incurred my wrath a few times from that, I would not go as far to say that they are at the level of butchering. I think adaptations should not be compared to source material but rather to how other adaptations are done by other studios.

anyway back to topic, this has neither heavy action nor epic plots. it focuses more on characters, gags, and bishoujo service. so things wouldn't go too wrong, can they? on yeah, I hope they don't tone down on some of the more H-lines, which have me fall out of my chair laughing many times.

You just just answered yourselves guys (specially with larethian's post):heh:.

I read whispering about A-1 pictures or JC Staff taking this series but so far there is no confirmation, while the cast from the CD Drama remains the same (confirmed), I would like to rad/hear from an official source that the anime will have the same designs used for Denpa Onna which are fair enough to give justice to Buriki's designs.

@Larethian: Are your signature and avatar from an August Soft's galge?

As long as it is Asako Nishida who is doing the character design I don't care which studio is doing it. However if it is Shaft it'll be great.

Aiyoku no Eustia is the game in that signature.

Is there any heavy fanservice on its original novel ?

heavy ? Huh, I didn't see any so far, if bishojo in weird outfit is heavy fan service than yes ... depend of how they adapt actually, seeing the chapter of the sacred blackstar for example.

Well apart from the odd Sena pic that would stand out(Buriki is a godly artist) theres not much in the way of fanservice, it being a LN and all.
Even the manga is tame. i.e no pointless stuff compared to stuff that makes the story interesting.

Sena is probably the one to likely provide any kinda heavy fanservice for the anime;):D

The Sacred Blackstar part I wonder about, it's not pointless "service".

But all that don't matter to me anyway, I'm hoping we get to see the "The Sacred Blackstar" in all it's glory:heh:

That Sacred Blackstar is her ?

Huh no, you should go on the novel thread for the sacred blackstar, it's spoil here I guess ... When I read it ... I nearly died of lack of oxygen.

The Sacred Blackstar is The Sacred Blacksmith ?

Eh? Top 10 from last years light novel rankings were...

I think Boku wa tomdachi wa sukunai is currently the most popular LN series running without an anime, I think Vol 6 can push a 100,000 opening week which is something Infinite Stratos needed a smash hit anime to achieve. OreNo Vol 8 just did a 150k opening week and I think Boku can surpass that once the anime is out.

Why would A-1 Pictures owned by Aniplex a subsidiary of Sony animate a Media Factory production? It's a good fit with the right team on it but it just doesn't work out.

As Hikari had said. Skyfall has a signature of the same VN. I'm just following suit because I'm jealous.


Depends on how you define fanservice. For me, slightly H-dialogue is also fanservice LOL!


Yours is based on individual volumes. "This Light Novel Is Amazing" uses total sales for a "Title", and Haganai was no.2 with only 5 volumes! Index was no. 1 but it has like around 22 volumes, though of course, majority of sales probably come from the latest releases for both. And besides that, sales of that year does not equate to accumulated sales, and should not be taken as an absolute measure of popularity :)

Thats why I said novels not series :p.


There is no confirmation thus, no reason to overthink this.

I want Asako Nishida's designs.

ROFL.

Though I completed it and got it from the CG screen caps. Though I have no skills with Gimp nor photoshop. See his taunt here:

And regarding visual fan-service, it's highly likely they will have it ;). Even though I'm a Meat shipper, since I also love my VNs :D, Yozora's lines are classic and better not altered. :heh:

:S. Larenthian, it's rather easy to at least sharpen the picture and stitch the pieces together properly. Gimp and photoshop both have massive number of tutorials that aren't really that hard to follow... especially not for something that simple.

OT: It'd be a fucking dream come true if Kyoani did this. But...

Now people are complaining about my aesthetic sense. What pieces? I totally don't understand the jargon... It's a post processed image though I forgot what functions I used. It's not sharp like the original one, so the problem is actually my aesthetic sense. Putting aside the fact that I don't have time to learn a skill which does not help me in my current profession, and a skill in which I have little interest in, I won't know what looks good even when I've learned it. :( thanks for the advice anyway.

Actually, "This LN is Amazing!" is NOT base on sale figure. Rather, it used questionnaire by writers/critics, on their website (For general reader), and a surveying agency (Macromill) to compile the result. It DOES gauge popularity more than you think it does.

While popularity and sales figure correlated, ranking #2 on the guide doesn't mean that the LN (in this case, Haganai) is #2 best-selling series for that year. It's also true that, however, accumulated figure doesn't means a thing when it comes to yearly sales figure, b/c, we all know that anime pump up the sales of any given LN series by at least 50k (for each volume), if not more...

And of course, ranking #2 basically right out of the box (Well, it was #23 in the 2010 ranking with the first volume) IS amazing no matter which way you look at it, only losing to Index with that series being in the climax (Vol. 20-22) and have an anime series already along with a spinoff anime series in Railgun...

It is the same illustrator (Buriki) after all...
