Coming Summer 2012

No words on the plot so far but basically P.A Works just handed Hanasaku Iroha's production team over to director Masakazu Hashimoto. Lets see how he does compared to the Ando/Okada duo.

The cast pleases me greatly,especialy seeing Ayahi Takagaki in a lead role,girl deserves more attention.

What exactly is "evergreen" though?

[zeniselv]

seeing the image the first thing that came to my head was hanairo 2, anyways it really pleases me to see Ayahi Takagaki, leading in a music anime(or so it seems in the website),she is really talented.

Oh, look, lesbians!

In other news: Obligatory girls doing cute things anime or some kind of character drama. I will be all over this if it's the latter one.

If it's the latter one, then too serious would seriously depress the audience. But I like this kind of drama, it gives me god's tears...
However, this kind is overused if not more than "cute girls doing cute things" trope.

There's no need to be serious all the time, like Rinne no Langrange. It's not like drama = depressing.

Hanasaku Iroha staff without Mari Okada? Hell yeah, I'm in.

[Haak]

Hanasaku Iroha clone without Mari Okada...

Mixed feelings are mixed...

[FireChick]

This looks interesting. My only hopes are that...

1. It won't be full of pointless ecchi or fan-service
2. It won't have any characters even remotely like the abomination that is Tsurugi Minko.

I hope for this so much.

[FireChick]

High five, fellow kindred spirit!

...and Asami Seto is among the cast. SWEET.

Inb4 "evergreen" is the secret codename for Mari Okada.

Yeah I know the odds of that are like 0.001% but I couldn't resist

[Stevie_Nix]

Love the art and character design, and of course it is an original series by P.A. Works, so must be good. Honestly can't wait.

I wonder if the girls go to different schools, or at least the girl in the back goes to a different one.

If I am not mistaken, "tari tari" means "this and that."

[Utsuro no Hako]

Well the key art is gorgeous, and knowing PA Works the finished product will be reasonably close in look. So, yeah, I'm sold without knowing anything about the plot.

That's a weird way to spell "Matsumae Ohana "

[Leo_Otaku]

I too had Hanasaku Iroha vibes lol. I will give this a look.

[Pocari_Sweat]

Mari okada is currently too busy with writing scripts for troll/shipping anime with Kawamori.

I'm actually glad she's not involved this time given her current party girl do whatever the hell she feels like kinda attitude. Prefer that she gets her urges and fetishes outta her system then come back fresh .

Ima be cautiously optimistic about this considering hsi could have been better even though it was quite solid. Also someone bring triple r and archon wing in here. This anime reeks of yuri potential

[Guardian Enzo]

Funny thing is, the Okada eps were generally the best ones in HanaIro, by far.
