Does someone know what this is?

It's basically a fan book with all the coloured comics and pages plus a bunch of extras (including a pillowcase, etc.). There's a listing of the contents here.

Thanks :)

Character desings seems little odd, but even if this is just a slice-of-life anime, I'm somewhat interested.

Hmmm, I noticed something intriguing in Matthew's blog:

http://matthew.animeblogger.net/arch..._october_5.php

It said something about KyoAni is going to work on this. Anybody want to verify it? :D

:eek: That would be so great :D

But I can't find this mentioned anywhere >.<

It would be great if someone can verify this.

噂は本当だった。京アニ、「Kanon」の次はこれですか。角川書店お抱えスタジオになってる なあ。

I say that's a good confirmation that Kyoto Animation is working on this next spring. :D

(unless Moonphase misinterpret the info....:uhoh: )

Yay Yay Yay :D high quality moe~ moe~ anime :D

Wow, great news! We can wait a very good anime. :D

Kyoani for Lucky Star? :heh: That's like... slicing oranges with a chainsaw. :heh: I'm pretty sure Kyoani will turn anything it touches into gold, but a dialog centered 4-panel manga series...?

Still, imagining Kagami in animation is enough to get me excited. :heh:

And Yamamoto Yataka-san is finally getting his turn at directing, I'm sure he'll deliver the goods.

What is this? well, read the posts above :P and you'll find out.

Maybe the artists want to take a break. :heh:

Heh.

Looks very cute especially the character designs ... in the vein of AzuDa/Yotsubato ?
Does that style have a name? It isn't really chibi.... but I see it used when someone doing a "whatdahell" look or side glance in comics at times. Extremely cute/cartoony.

Interesting. I shall have to keep my eye on this. :)
