Chiruran: Shinsengumi Chinkonka
http://i.imgur.com/VZSUVzz.jpg?1
Plot Summary: In 1912, a young woman tracks down the elderly Nagakura Shinpachi, determined to hear the true story of the Demon of the Shinsengumi, the Vice Commander Hijikata Toshizou. Hijikata's story begins in 1859, when he is a violent young man that is honing his sword skills while peddling his family's medicine. Soon, in his quest to find stronger people to fight, Hijikata starts to come into contact with others who will eventually be his comrades in the Shinsengumi. The first one to make an impression on the brash young man is Kondo Isami, who proves to be a better fighter than Hijikata... Quote:

Ah. So the backstory of Hijikata then?
Winter might be the season of the Shisgengumi, if the ufotable Touken Ranbu series comes out then |
Not many reviews of this with no scanlations, but it looks kind of interesting.

Hee. I didn't expect this one getting animated... I read some volumes and it was OK. Nothing incredible, but mostly harmless. The delinquent "feel" was a fun quirk, but it wasn't over the top or self-aware enough for me to find it charming or funny. And it's the kind of manga that's mostly sustained by the characters, their quirks and relations, and as I'm not much of a Shinsengumi fan, I got distracted.
Maybe it will be more interesting in anime form... well, I'm sure they'll blow most of their budget on the voice cast, that's pretty much the only way this could get attention. Well that, or surprise awesome animation for the fight scenes. (I'm betting voice cast. It would be fun to hear some of the current A list people playing yankees.) Also this is what, the third Zenon manga to get an anime, and still nothing from Sirius? :( If this manga gets an anime but Shoukoku no Altair ends without getting one there's no justice in the world. (<- there is no justice in the world) |

Wow, strange. Why animate the comedy spinoff before the main story? It's not a hugely popular manga, chances are the anime viewers won't care about funny SD versions of characters they don't even know... I guess the producers are betting on people's general knowledge of the Shinsengumi, but I'm not sure how that's going to work out.
Maybe they realized they don't have the budget or episode number to adapt the actual manga, not that such issues ever stopped anyone... :heh: |

I wonder about the cast. At this point I think this show's only chance is an A-list cast...
