T o be honest, I don't like the airing time. (For the chance its get financial success)
Airing at midnight will mean there is less casual audience to net.. I thought the best that they can do is airing in more friendly time for casual audience and trying to boost manga sales (especially if they re-release older volume) The manga have more than 100 volume right now.. Imagine if they got sales boost from the anime like what usually happen from manga to anime adaptation, the potential is crazy. But at midnight, its basically just selling the anime because the audience is pretty limited (Otaku group) I don't like the chance if they just targeting to sell disc.. except Dio's swag can cause miracle lol. I really hope we got confirmation about the length soon.

I rather like the anime's designs for the Phantom Blood arc; I felt the original manga's artwork for this arc is kind of off-putting in that the male characters are overly muscular and seem to move strangely though Araki's artwork improves immensely over the course of the series.
The first arc is the shortest, only 44 chapters which are mostly in the 20-30 page range, so if the anime studio doesn't extend or pad things out, it should be over relatively quickly. |

Well anyway let's just hope it does well. Any guess on who'll do the OP song? I would definently think it'd be a male singer but I'm not sure who they could get... |

The HnK movies and OAV were hit or miss. I don't think that adding random Girl of The Movie, in an effort to make it more appealing to today's audience, was a good move. Imo, the one salvageable thing about them were Yuki Kajiura's scores.

Accel World airs at 12:30am on Friday nights on Tokyo MX, and it's selling ~10k per volume. Kuroko's Basketball airs at 2am on Saturday nights on MBS, and it's selling ~20k per volume. Ultimately it depends on whether the anime itself is appealing or well produced, which is a huge question because we've seen nothing from the actual show, and the marketing in general seems almost non-existent. Those are far worse signs than the timeslot I would say. Edit: Since there are no other posts I'll just add this here.

I don't know about how the opening theme so I can't expect anything aside from Tanaka's involvement, but the ending theme by Yes fits the show perfectly due to Araki's obsession with pop art and Western culture (based from what I heard). Bonus points if the ending appears to have a modern version of "Roundabout" song and how it depicts Danny (the show's dog) in humorous aspects.

I wouldn't be surprised if we learn he requested it specifically here.
