Yeah, talk about raising your spirits before crashing them down. I mean damn, it's hard to imagine an anime actually managing to disappoint me before it even exists.
There is so much damn good material, why on earth do they need to anime original it up? This barely ranks above cancelling the adaptation entirely. Now have to go into it hoping for the best. Will say good job by Studio Pierrot killing anticipation before it even gets started. Really like the manga so have to say finding out this was getting an anime has become an odd roller coaster ride.

Guys, it doesn't say how much anime original material there will be.
Take Cross Game, it has like 4 or 5 anime original episodes (out of 50), and they were quite fun and didn't alter the story in any way. You guys are acting like it's been confirmed that this will be filler land,for all we know it could just be 2 or 3 episodes.

Yeah, that was the only silver lining for me. The bigger disappointment was the 25-episode part - I was really hoping this would get a long adaptation, as NHK often does. The fact that the mangaka is involved makes me think they want to rework the story into a complete arc with a definitive conclusion in 25 eps, and I have concerns as to whether they can do that without really impacting the strengths of the series.

I wasn't that surprised by the 25 episode count. The past couple years it seems like getting past 12 episodes is a pretty major accomplishment. If it does well I'd have assumed sequels here and there to cover the story in chunks.
Anything could happen. But I can't help but share my unease about the whole thing. Original content in and of itself isn't a big deal. I mean the Fairy Tail anime used some original scenes early to expand on things the creator wanted to put in the manga, but couldn't with page limits and such. If we're just adding scenes that the creator wanted in the first place that's not a big deal. Or just adding some extra episodes to better develop some secondary characters. Those things aren't really bad. The scary thing would be them trying to change the story to condense it down to 25 episodes. Hard to call a series "Baby Steps" and then rush it to conclusion. Hoping for the best, but with the information we have I am uneasy.

Definitely. If 25 episodes covers the first few volumes, I'd be happy. My only worry is them trying to cram everything so far and more into 25 episodes. That's the worst case scenario for me: having Pokemon Origins pacing, where most important matches/developments get a still or two and some narration.

I am not gonna watch this as manga is enough for me, but accidentaly encountered new reveal of cast. (Oh, and it seems it will deviate from original quite bit, although under patronage of author)

As to the voices...hmm we'll see how it turns out. I suppose the positive is Maruo's voice isn't going to sound familiar. Can't recall the voice of anyone he's done. Curious how Natsu will sound. I can't help thinking how weird it'd sound if she uses the voice for Railgun's Kongo . Good choice from Takuma. That's the one I'm least worried about.

Maybe the Baby Steps adaptation will deviate from the original story and have an original conclusion. Shaft seems to have taken that route for Nisekoi, and these days, where the typical anime is 12-13 episodes and you'd be lucky to get a sequel, it makes a lot of financial sense. As long as the author is involved, I can't say I have any problem with it. With how good the manga already is, original material that's well done should be just as interesting.

Sort of old news by now, but:
Opening theme: Believe in Yourself, by Abe Mao Ending theme: Baby Step, by babyraids And a "just before" special to air March 27. Or so google translate says. What are "just before" specials usually like? Source. |
