Aniplex budget and noitaminA slot will hopefully give it the fundings needed to sustain that beautiful quality. Dear god, that watercolour style sure is something else from what's been done before. This is definitely one of my most expected shows of the next season.

I really liked what I saw in the new trailer so I'm pretty excited for this (same manga-ka as Aoi Hana+noitaminA+possibly exploring gender issues? I think I'm in heaven....). It feels a bit early to be asking but does anyone know the start date for it?

Wow those are some beautiful watercolors. I only hope this can be kept up for the entire series. Plus the voice work doesn't down that stiff, and the piano piece delivers. This adaptation could work after all.

I thought the second PV was great. The slightly more saturated look (than Aoi Hana) is fine with me. The thirteen-year-old boy playing the lead got it right on, for me.
To be honest, much as I like what I understand of it, the manga confuses me, so I keep picking it up and putting it down. I hope the anime simplifies the story a bit. I have some confidence in the lead writer, Okada Mari (true tears, many episodes of Simoun, Otome Youkai Zakuro). Not sure yet about the director, Aoki Ei (Girls Bravo, Kara no Kyoukai 1, Ga-rei Zero).

About the drama, the overall story is subdued but they just cherry picked some of the more dramatic parts in the early chapters. Chiba was featured pretty often in the trailer and in the beginning she's...um, quite the character. Don't really want to spoil anything but her personality creates quite a bit of friction.

That 2nd PV really is something. The Noitamina has been on lately and with this and Fractale coming up, one can't help but be optimistic.

Wow, there's so much to like here. I adored Aoi Hana, the writer's credentials give me great hope for a respectful treatment of the story, and to the director's credit I wound up liking Ga-Rei Zero more than I expected, despite only picking it up as a Minorin fanboy blinded by the awesomeness that is Paradise Lost. The PV just cements this show's place at the top of my must-watch list.
So I thought what I'd do is take a look at the manga (volume 11 is out December 24, btw), but according to Amazon the early volumes are out of print. Does anyone know if they're planning a re-release to tie in with the anime? Spoiler for Off-topic:

Have you tried browsing on other Japanese online sites? Amazon.jp can't be the only one that would stock the volumes.

The visuals are indeed stunning, but the musical piece used in the trailer is also worthy of praises. Count me as another one doubtful they'll be able to maintain this quality, but we'll see...

Not that I was planning to buy any more R2s for a while (going back to Uni is good for the soul but bad for the wallet), but it saddens me to read here that the Aoi Hana anime was a commerical flop. So if this show lives up to its early promise I can see myself parting with a few yen to support it

Wallpapers GET!
(And while I'm posting, Mangaoh are also waiting for vol 1 to be reprinted, but at least 2-10 are on their way to me... I guess that'll cover the middle school arc, which is what it looks like the anime will adapt.)
