(CR) Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (Magical Girl Raising Project) Anticipation

[Stark700]

Spoiler:

Light novel 'Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku' is getting an anime adaptation.

Plot Summary:

The highly popular social network game "Magical Girl Raising Project" is a miraculous game that produces real Magical Girls with a chance of 1 in 10000 for each person. Girls who are lucky enough to gain the power of magic spend fulfilling days. But one day, the administration arbitrarily announces that "There are too many magical girls so they will be halved". The curtain will now be raised on the relentless and merciless survival game between 16 magical girls.

Basically, it's a series about magical battles with a survival-type theme. There's also a drama CD preview that's out...

I wonder if these characters should forget fighting each other and just go after the administration . 16 is too many? They could have at least waited until they got to 20 before making a fuss about it.

Could be an interesting show. Magic survival battles. At least the premise has some interest to it.

QB and Kotomine should totally team up in that one.

to me, the premise sounds more like Urobuchi's a certain fruits themed armor Kamen Rider series ~DON'T SAY NO!! JUST LIVE MORE!!~

[Marcus H.]

Reminds of Kamen Rider Ryuki, where they had to fight each other instead of actually using their powers for a greater evil.

[Zefyris]

Didn't expect that series to get an anime, really. Some of the scenes are really bloody...

16 is said to be

Spoiler for spoiler for the explanation given at the beginning from the "administration":

too many for the one town they're in charge by the administration, they say the magic source around are going to deplete and completely wither due to the surcharge. Can't say anything more, because that's spoiler after this.

[Eisdrache]

I read the first half of the synopsis and thought that it sounds pretty fluffy. Then I read the rest and -_-

Certainly will pick this up.

Yo, Stark. You forgot the "h" in your address.

Anyway, so a Battle Royale-esque with Magical Girls? Reminds me of Himelander Mai-HIME, which can only be a good thing in my book.

Sorry, fixed.

[Faux Mecha]

you know what? i was expecting a Claris song suddenly rev up in the beginning of that teaser.

[Kuroageha]

I never expected that Backstabbing the LN series made it to anime format.

[Zefyris]

Damn, just looked on twitter and the script writer said it would only cover volume 1 (+ the relevant chapters of volume 4).
So that's a good news for the anime since it will not be rushed, but that's a bad news for me. That means no PFLE, no Shadowgale, and no werewolf game. And I'm not a huge fan of the first volume.
I know I should rejoice that another adaptation choose the path of being faithful, as it's so rare and it's always something I wish for; but that's an exception for me. I mainly like that title due to characters and stuff coming from volume 2 onward... Seeing animated the first volume only doesn't really interest me anymore. Basically for Mahoiku, it's No PFLE No Life. ~

wow just one volume? it really rare this day.
is it slow pace story?

interesting to see battle royale between magical girls.

[Zefyris]

More like 1.5 volume (the .5 being the relevant chapters from volume 4 (episodes).
It's not slow paced at all. Volume 1 is actually very fast paced and that's why I thought that this anime would do very badly since rushing something already fast paced would give ridiculous results. Looks like they agreed with that and decided for the first arc only.
That means that this anime will be far more correctly paced than I thought it would. But except if they intend to make a second season (doubt it), it also means that I will not see what I wanted to see, so well :'(.

Backstabbing the LN series

I like the name lol xD

[MeoTwister5]

My initial vibe is Madoka meets Hunger Games / Battle Royal. I'm guessing this will be a giant clusterfuck for all the... right reasons? Whatever it is, I'm gonna give this a shot.

Because first volume is pretty lame and i assume anime want to expand it to let the story and feeling make sense.

Maybe you didn't understand what I wrote? They're going to do 1.5 volumes, which means that I will not see the characters/scenes I wanted to see in the anime.
And yes they're obviously expanding it since they are taking part of the volume 4. And I know the only wayt to not lead to something ridiculous was what they decided to do.
Maybe they'll take the additional infos/stories from the 特別編集版 too. Kinda want to see their encounter with Pythie Frederica animated, especially since it's technically happening between arc 1 and 2.
