"Nymphet"? "Nymphet"??!!

Somebody's gonna die. Some stupid editor's gonna die.

No duh, "Kodomo no Jikan" isn't the best name for US release, but "Nymphet"?!

Lol, Hisashi Hirai again? The middle guy looks like Shinn. Again. Really. At least the two characters on the sides don't look much like past characters of Hirai's, although somebody could possibly draw up a slight likeness between Soushi and the guy on the left.

EDIT: Hmm, on actual inspection of the character page, he does look a little different from Shinn. That main page pic was just really convincing.

こどものじかん
Kodomo no Jikan

Broadcast: July 2007

Based on a manga thats serialized in the seinen(young men's) manga magazine Comic High!, and published under the seinen comic imprint Action Comics.
For now there are 2 volumes released of this manga, and volume 3 will be out tomorrow (February 10, 2007).
Here are the covers:



From Matthew's Anime Blog:



Genre: Seinen, Comedy

Other seinen moe~ manga from Comic High! magazine that are getting animated:

Whoa, HELLO! This "Nymphet" (sorry couldn't resist) series has the auto spot on my to watch list. As long as it doesn't break the 25% rule we're gold I should hope.

On Heroic Age, the main character actually looks slightly less like Kira for once, but he's still not mixing up the other character designs at all with Mwu to the left with a slightly revamped version of his usual female lead. And is it just me or is the exact same character design used twice for the twin characters http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/h...e/chara/04.gif http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/h...e/chara/05.gif. Usually there is some distinguishing feature to set twins apart. Seriously come on Hirai, if your going to do a new main character FINALLY at least go all the way with the rest of the cast. Slight improvement for Hirai (I bet he took an hour instead of 30 minutes on this set of characters), but I bet he slips again with his next job which he will eventually somehow despite all logic, get.

Just to backtrack a little, did Summon Night TV actually air on GyaO in the end? Meant to have been 16th October 2006 it commenced airing but I've still not seen anything to say it did or didn't air.

Hmm, I don't remember any anime announcement of this game, and there's no mention of this anime on AnimeNfo and Anidb.

Although I haven't seen anything beyond that and the fall wiki for new shows.

Summon Night TV is not an anime, it's simply a stage event at Chara Hobby 06 that was promoting Summon Night 4. The stage event was recorded and put on Gyao. This is another fine example of stupid misinformation popping up when people that don't actually understand Japanese try to assume information. :P

[Grv]

Ah, that explains it ^^ Thanks duckroll
