Considering what Munto went thru. I'd say yes. He's a sarcastic but his heart is in the right place. This is an action title. People were dying big time in this one. Besides, he's the ruler of that kingdom and made some tough decisions in the OVA that was haunting him big time. We're also waiting to see what sparks fly between those 2.

You should just watch the OVAs and make your own decision.

Well if the TV series is an alternate retelling like I've heard it's going to be then I'll probably just find out then.

Actually those designs look like they are starting at the end of the 2nd OVA. (Yumemi wasn't that daring with her clothes in the first OVA and she lost her shoes also at the end of OVA 2.) It's probably continuation of the story with flashbacks as needed since it starts with the director's cut of the first 2 episodes.

I wonder how they'll do that--each OVA episode was long enough to make two TV episodes out of, unless a lot ends up on the cutting room floor.

The new name they gave for the series in that ANN article is insanely long though: "Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai"? That makes Yoakena's full title look short...

[Tyabann]

Just watched the first OVA...


Well, all I can say is that I've seen much better, especially from KyoAni. Of course, it being their first work, it's understandable.

Good world concepts, though. If "Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai" (someone really need to come up with a shortened version of that... Sorasekai?) actually explains a lot more and lengthens out some of the plot a bit, it should be pretty cool.

It sounds oddly close to that other series coming out in 2009, Sora O Kakeru Shoujo, only as you said, pointlessly long. Maybe the extension of "no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai" was made to avoid any potential confusion between the upcoming titles.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is, an extension. <_<;;

Gramatically, the object of the title isn't even "shoujo."

Well I get, "The Girl That Looked Up Into The Sky/Heaven" followed by "Of The World Reflected In Her Eyes", or the other way around in "The World Reflected In The Eyes Of A Girl That Looked Up Into The Sky/Heaven". I don't actually know specifically how the grammatical structure of it works and I don't really care, I'm just throwing out an idea as to why it might be such an unusually long subtitle when it could just potentially be Munto: The Girl That Looked Up Into The Sky/Heaven.

Yes... it sucks that this means Haruhi will be even further into the future, but Munto has deserved its own TV series long before most of us even knew what Haruhi even was.

Looking forward to this.

More character designs are revealed

Nothing to comment, they're not great, but not awful either. I have to say, that pink hair girl in the OVA has to be voiced by Kugimiya Rie, I can't think of any other seiyuu that would match as the voice ^_^''

Today's moonphase dairy update has a Newtype pic with a 1/13 airing date. Kyoani working on two series at once? Haruhi in the spring then?

Don't spread any rumours or you have people complaining again when it turns out not to be true.

Character update showing the girls' in school wear. I personally do not like the new clothing because it looks too skimpy which contrasts from the vibes I got from the OAVs in that they wore decent clothing.

Also these three pages showed up:

Well then, it is airing in January. Guess we get Haruhi next spring or summer after all.

[musume_no_hoshi]

Wow out by Jan?! KyoAni working on two series at a time, now that's a first.

Daisuke Ono as Munto and Mai Aizawa as Yumemi. No idea who Aizawa is, and I don't think I heard her before either. Ono should be well known to most people, Itsuki from Haruhi. He should have no probleming voicing Munto.

Oh my god that's awesome.

Well, to be fair, the ones in Haruhi are perfectly plausible, given the way they're made.

Other series... not so much.

Original Munto was passably FABULOUS with his outfit, the new one is now even MOAR FABULOUS with Ono.

[Tyabann]

I fully expect them to make Hosaka jokes with this character.

They have to, it's obligatory now.

As opposed to the variety seen in other anime that can be blown up just by walking past someone?
