I'm not saying Madhouse is getting this, but Abiru Takahiko just tweeted a link with the series announcement...
Edit: Apparently it's MAPPA. Which is just as good, and makes perfect sense given the source.

wow.... this was like. Old school. reminds me of Kindaichi series. Though indeed. Why now? because the lack of quality in the current stories? well this will be a game changer depending on how they present it.

I'm very happy to see this get an adaptation, believe me. But IMHO the reason why there are so few good anime these days isn't because there aren't enough good manga to adapt - there are tons of great series out there that could make fantastic anime. The issue is the industry choosing to adapt countless generic LN series instead.

I'm kind on the fence for this. One hand, it may be better than the old animated version. On the other hand, if they chose the Kiseiju approach (extremely faithful, despite change in designs) I think I'll drop it before the end, as I feel the final arc is horrible.

Having read some of the manga, I think the designs should be changed/updated similar to what was done for Parasyte's anime.
The mangaka's artstyle may be considered...messy and ugly by today's aesthetic standards.* *I'm not saying moe has to be used(far from it)but something in-between. Like Parasyte. |

And the problem is with the medium itself. There are a few rare exceptions (Chaika, while watchable, is hardly a series to salvage a reputation - I'd be more inclined to cite Hataraku Maou-sama) but broadly speaking, the creative decline of anime is closely aligned with the rising predominance of LN as a source material.
