Doesn't that title just translate to "Mika Nogizaka's road to becoming an anime maker"? Doesn't suggest that there's going to be an anime to me. Plus do we know if they're related beyond the characters having the same surname?

I think NeoSam might be right, actually - anime-ka might mean anime maker, but only when written as アニメ家 in the same way as judoka (柔道家), mangaka (漫画家), etc.

アニメ化 means "anime form" or "become animated', but that's an odd name to give to a manga title....

Yeah, exactly

Its still not mentioned if the new series is a manga or a short stories light novel (or at least I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere), we'll have to wait until vol. 46 gets out to know.

NeoSam · 2007-11-25, 04:23

It has been finally confirmed to be getting animated

The first post of this thread has been updated with the news about the anime.

It looks like the promo video shows "4/10 start" for this, implying it's going to air this spring:

If the plot is really

Spoiler for spoiler for the "secret":

then this could be interesting, lots of potential for other anime/manga references.

I've had pretty good luck with light novel->anime conversions so looking forward to this now...

No, it's going to air in the Summer. In the video, the first part that pops up "4/10" belongs to whatever promotional video before that. Notice that at the end of the video, it says "Summer". Website also says "Summer".

Ah, bummer...the only kanji I know are for the numbers one, two, and three, so didn't know what that said.

Well, at least I have something to look forward to in summer now, thanks for the correction.

cnnydz · 2008-04-18, 07:51

somehow this novel always reminds me of seto no hanayome. anyway i am looking forward for it to be animated.

Undertaker · 2008-05-06, 19:00

I've read the books, all I can say is that is this another lighter-hearted, laughter-filled series that most otaku would love.

Between this, Ryoko-sama, and second season of Hayate, Gundam 00, and Suzumiya Haruhi. I really look forward towards the second-half of 08, it's going to be filled with bunch of good stuff.

Now I need to actually find time in between my work schedule in order to watch all these goodies

serenade_beta · 2008-05-24, 07:15

This anime has been set to air in July. Just two months left!

Westlo · 2008-05-31, 13:08

Looks like something I'll enjoy and Mamiko Noto is a nice bonus.

serenade_beta · 2008-06-10, 04:17

The official website has updated, now with anime art.
http://www.nogizaka-haruka.com/

Not bad. Pretty normal, suitable for a normal series (like it better than the shojo art in the novels though).

Avisch · 2008-06-10, 06:02

Reading the summary of this got me excited. And Mamiko Noto as Haruka seems like a great choice.

Light Novel anime adaptations are in surplus

suguru · 2008-06-10, 13:26

The character designs look good--I'm just hoping when there are references to Haruka's otaku-ness they actually refer to real anime and light novels (bleeping things out when necessary like Hayate no Gotoku and Lucky Star did) versus making up something for her to like (like the fictional series Penguin likes in Penguin Musume). Somehow the otaku references are much more entertaining when they're real and they're things I actually get and have seen

Less than a month until it airs, really starting to look forward to the summer season now...

Undertaker · 2008-06-11, 15:51

It depends whether or not they follows the novel.

In the original novels, all manga/anime series mentioned are fictional, my guess is that copyright in japan are more strict in novels than manga, or it could simply be the fact that series mentioned in manga are usually own by same publisher and its different for novels.

Midonin · 2008-06-16, 12:49

Fictional show-within-a-shows are fine by me. A recent and awesome example of one would have to be Blade Braver in Bamboo Blade.

phishn37 · 2008-06-17, 14:40

I think this show will be a lot of fun ~ ! Is it going to be as ecchi as the manga (or are they light novels?) looks?
