But this gives me excellent reverse ZNT vibes + everything else + it's Kazuma Kamachi= 11/10 anticipation score. And the anime has a chance of being better than the books... 12/10 anticipation score... now the deal will be sealed if Js06 agrees to translate it on BT when it comes out...

Please. Is there a Kamachi work Js06 doesn't do?

Do we have a name for the MC's uber goddess, or can I just assume its another form of Aiwass just for the fun of it?

Anyway, to me that either means it we're going elder gods territory or just an original set of mythologies exclusive to this series.

Anyway, I only hope this jump to a more "orthodox" type of novel isn't the same type as going from Asura Cryin to Strike the Blood.

i still don't get why he can translated Kamachi's stuff so quickly. Differ from most LN author, Kamachi mostly never make up new name out of nowhere so you have to search Katakana and Kanji like a mad man to understand those name but he just breeze through.

One conspiracy theory is that they are one and the same...

Lol. I can answer that conspiracy theory quickly. If it were true, Kamachi would have given the organizations in Index better Engrish names.

Also, don't say he's obfuscating stupidity lol.

[Chaos2Frozen]

...Does anyone noticed that Kamachi (Index), Tsutomu (Mahouka) and Kawahara (SAO) are all coming out with new series that are roughly the same sort of genre ?

Spoiler for size:

Summary:
>Summoning ceremonies can freely call forth even "those which lurk in the depths beyond the gods".
>One boy has top-level abilities even among the cutting-edge summoners who can use those ceremonies.
>He is the Unkilling King, Shiroyama Kyousuke.
>But this strongest boy summoner has a single fatal weakness.
>Certain "cursed words" spoken by girls: "Help me."
>When Kyousuke hears those words from Myounokawa Higan, a girl placed in the abyss of death, he throws himself into a city where three great summoner forces clash!

The novel series takes place in the year 2400, where the world is controlled by the “Solar System Alliance.” The reason the Alliance was able to take control is because they wield mobile weapons. Those humanoid weapons use “Cyclonics” electric chips that convert the superpowers and wisdom bequeathed to mankind into interference power. These humanoid weapons which amplify their pilot's psychic powers are called “Titanic Dolls,” or just “Dolls” for short. Dolls do not lose to other weapons, and are part of the Solar System Alliance's unit, “Sophia,” who keep the world under the Alliance's thumb.

However, this will soon change when two Doll Masters — Aoi Saotome and Reine Ward Takajo — have a fateful meeting at a high school in an aerial city.

When I read the synopsis I have not the impression that he helps everyone like Touma but only girls.

Spoiler for size:

well hybrid genre of Sci-fi x supernatural is the current trend, after all, there is already too much fantasy and sci-fi. The 1st thing nearest is Index which actualize magic vs science which prove to be a refreshing taste so many author is trying this type.

Lets just say the author REALLY likes that set up of innocent girls being forced into a bad situation that's beyond their control (of sorts)

Or maybe there's a certain condition that's not mentioned in the synopsis?

I also like to think somewhere that the higher ups noticed this and somehow placed orders for more chuunibyouish series

He noticed the hype over OP characters and want more lol

Maybe he's devoted. Maybe he's fluent. Maybe he's both.

What can we say? It's a popular trend.

That would be within their job purview.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Well back to over analysing the synopsis, what I'm curious is that the synopsis never really stated what kind of abilities summoners have, specifically how they fight with it.

Two options I can think off- it's either the "I choose you!" kind of battle where they hang back and like the summon do the heavy lifting (pokemon) and maybe contribute a little (FSN) , or they absorb the summon and acquire their powers (Shaman King, Persona)

They're summoners. They summon things to fight for them. Seems a little self-explanatory. There's no reason for a synopsis to go more into detail than that.

I'd bet on persona, it's hard to imagine Kamachi going to let his protagonist stand there and just summon.

[Kirito]

I just found out about this series today and I seriously hate being late for a party. I hate my new job. Anyways...

Spoiler for size:

Well even if the concepts or the approaches are similar, but could hold some difference between them, all that matters is overall execution. The MC does interest me, but I wonder how Kazama-sensei will handle a potentially OP protagonist after making both Touma and Quenser weak but capable characters for so long. Hope the transition doesn't hinder his ability to write a difference archetype and develop them in believable and interesting ways.

I'd think it will be on the line of Shin Megami Tensei series. The protagonist have the same kind of power( maybe weaker) as their summons and they fight together as a team.

He is called the Unkilling King so I guess he has powers related to regeneration or immortality? It's option 2 I think.

Blood Sign? don't even know if it's deemed animu worthy and I doubt it will have the same staff as the other Dengeki series.

I would like it to be done by Back-On, love their songs.

Oh god, please don't mention ZnT and please don't let it be anywhere near how that train wreck was.

Spoiler for size:

Maybe they got together and decided they would have a competition on who would come out on top if they wrote similar LN, let's get ready to ruuuuummmmmbbbblllleeee!.

[Kerfirou]

IT is possible.

I've heard that Japanese author tend to got together.

and I just remembered a get together by Urobuchi Gen(Madoka, KRGaim, dll), Kinoko Nasu (Fate Series), Ryohgo Narita (Baccano!), Makoto Sanda (Rental Magica) and several other Authors where they played TRPG Game Mastered by Makoto Sanda.

[whitecloud]

judging from the art..that girl is most likely the summoned being, my guess it would be like persona 4 summon, in which the summon do fight and give the summoner some bit of power... (cue persona 4 golden battle song)

Actually if you look at the etymology "un" + "killing" it actually means "not killing". So maybe it refers to the protagonist's act of not killing others/his enemies. Another possible interpretation (according to wikitionary) is that unkill is a verb that means to bring somebody back to life, which would be hella OP.

Of course, there's always the explanation of misunderstood meanings/mistranslations while Kamachi really meant something like "Unkilled" or "Unkillable", etc.
