The "Executive Director Shinji Higuchi's Latest Project Unveiling" event at Tokyo Comic Conn announced on Sunday that Higuchi is overseeing the 2018 original television anime Hisoneto Masotan for Warner Brothers. Mari Okada (The Anthem of the Heart, anohana) is writing the anime, and Hiroshi Kobayashi (Kiznaiver) is directing. Masahiko Minami, the president of the anime studio BONES (Eureka Seven, Mob Psycho 100), confirmed that his studio is producing the anime. Higuchi noted that he, BONES, and Okada created the original story concept together, and he added that he always wanted to make an original television anime.

Yoshiyuki Ito (Space Dandy) is adapting the original character designs by Toshinao Aoki (Kimi no Koe o Todoketai) for animation. Shoji Kawamori (Macross) is credited with mechanic design. Shigeto Koyama (Star Driver) is responsible for the monster concept design, and Okama is credited with concept design. Taisei Iwasaki (Blood Blockade Battlefront) is composing the music.

Keigo Koyanagi is the military supervisor Yūji Kaneko is directing the art with art designer Akihiro Hirasawa. Yuko Kobari is designing the color key. Kota Sasaki is directing the photography, and Yōta Andō is directing the 3D CG. Hiroshi Okuda is editing. Haru Yamada is directing the sound, and Toru Noguchi is in charge of sound effects.

The tagline of the anime is, "You and I will fly the skies." The anime will tell "the heartwarming story of dragons tamed by Air Self-Defence Force and their rookie pilots filled with love, laughter and tears."

Original Bones TV anime coming for 2018.

This was surprisingly good, the animation style reminds me of Hen Zemi.

Faux Mecha · 2018-04-13, 07:16

i could have sworn there was an old anime with the concept of people piloting living dragons like mechs.

Hanasaku Iroha but with Dragons and JSDF.

That was a fun first episode. They could have slowed it down a bit but for a premiere it was pretty good. A lot of the jokes really made me lol.

There's gotta be some trauma from getting eaten and thrown up so many times

And going out the other way

I quite enjoyed the first episode, the show seems like it'll be a bit of fun.

The whole transforming aspect is a little out there, but the art and characters are quite charming.

That episode was a lot of fun. I had a flashback to the hunting giant toads episode in Konosuba lol

Episode 2

Wow, what an amazing ED theme. That really made me lol.

The comedy was good but I wasn't too big on the drama this time round. Watching adult women act like children isn't going to endear me to them. I can tolerate that kind of thing in a high school setting but I expected more in a setting like this. It's cute that Nao isn't good at being an arsehole despite her best attempts but she still manages to cause problems for everyone else and it's only luck that prevented her from meeting a worse fate. Hopefully they'll have gotten such immature issues out of the way now.

I'm surprised Nao doesn't have her own dragon though. Where are the other dragons even? So far we've only seen Maso-tan.

The ED is superb.
Wasn't expecting a reference to the inventor of the bouncing bomb though.

Hopefully now the issue with Nao has been sorted out we'll move on, and meet more dragon pilots (seen in the ED, I guess).
