AnimeNewsNetwork: Touhou Project, Anime get anime by ufotable

The ANIMATE character goods store chain is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Anime Tenchou mascot character with 10 projects. Project 01 is new commercial footage called "Anime Tenchou Gekijō-ban," which ufotable will produce. Project 03 is "Anime Tenchou Collabo 10-ban Shōbu Round 1," in which ufotable is producing an animation project that combines Anime Tenchou and the dōjin game franchise Touhou Project.

Both projects will appear at the ANIMATE Ichioshi Bishōjo Matsuri event which will take place in Tokyo on November 20. Other projects to be shown at the event include IS (Infinite Stratos), Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!!, Steins;Gate, and OVA ToHeart2 adnext.

There will be a special version of the original Anime Tenchou theme song that will accompany the new commercial footage. Tomokazu Seki is singing as the Anime Tenchou Meito Anizawa character, and original creator Kazuhiko Shimamoto is rewriting the lyrics.

I'm rather hoping this actually is real, though with ANN reporting...

Pretty real.

http://www.ufotable.com/ --> http://www.animate.co.jp/aniten/10th.html --> 3rd one like they said =P.

Oh I forgot.

Will come buckets if it's anything like this one.

[Arabesque]

So I guess the other project is the one take is involved with, or is it this one?

[-Sho-]

Touhou anime really ? i predict that it'll be the next top 1-3 anime soon and with explosive sale

[BlueDo]

When I first saw this linked on Sankaku, I thought it was a hoax.
First impression: what the hell.

Well, watching it either way.

[blitz1/2]

I can foresee a new revolution with this.

[Tempester]

Looks great. Anime Tenchou was a really fun guy to watch in Lucky Star, and I wonder how he will be incorporated in the Touhou world. Just the fact that Touhou is getting an anime is making me giddy.

[O.D.]

Official Touhou anime? I wonder what ZUN has to say about this.

[Chiu_fan]

SERIOUSLY?!

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
Another Touhou anime. Though I thought ZUN was against to turning it into an anime series. When's the release date? Now I can't sleep from this excitement. I wonder if they'll use the VA's from the "A Summer Day's Dream".

[Duo Maxwell]

I don't know what should I say, but I guess I'll watch it nonetheless, since it's Touhou related.

And to be fair, SC worded it the best. Since ufotable animates something, aren't sure what format it would be yet (could indeed just be an ova), but it is official for the first time.

Don't know, but they should/have to hire him to do the music =).

Oooooooh, can't wait to see Reimu then XD

[Cosmic Eagle]

Hmmm....I'm actually not too eager for a Touhou anime despite being a hardcore Touhou fanatic....no idea if they'll screw it up or not...

Ditto, I just really hope they don't screw it up.

[Marisa Kirisame]

Hey mods, is it ok to get rid of the "official in the title? Even though it's animated by a professional studio, I honestly doubt that it will get a commercial release. So it's best not to mislead people into thinking that this will be THE official Touhou anime rather than a small project celebrating something completely different from Touhou itself.

[Malkuth]

Actually it is Anime Tenchou X Touhou, that should be in the title, and because of the first half I am apprehensive of what it actually turn out to be ... to begin with they ruined a fine poster with the shop's mascot

R-ruin...? I beg to differ, Tenchou is about as awesome as it gets. The small bits with him in Lucky Star were just hilarious and by far one of the best things I remember about that show. Coupling it with Touhou characters seems like it could resulst in awesome.

[Kopi]

Woho can't wait to see this

[Lelouch Tatsumi]

Well.... all I can say is that this should be interesting to see how it unfolds. Anyone know if it's just the characters on the poster or are people like Cirno, Suwako, etc. gonna be in it?

[Master_Yoma]

I cant wait for this one I just hope Ran Yakumo at less makes a appears
