Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata [Anticipation]



White Album 2's writer Maruto Fumiaki's light novel series Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata has anime on the works!

Quote:
The life of Tomoyo Aki, a highschool otaku working part time to support his BD hording. With remarkable luck, he bumps head-first into, Megumi Kato, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Naturally, the meeting twists his life into a complicated torrent of relationships. Eriri Spencer Sawamura, his half-foreigner childhood friend who's always valued her relationship with MC. Kasumigaoka Utaha, a cold, composed renowned literary genius who shoves everyone aside from our protagonist. What is this? An eroge introduction?

The tale of a small not quite doujin circle, but not quite indie studio's journey through the tough territory of comiket and beyond.
It is expected to premiere in January 2015 at (gasp!) noitaminA

EDIT: website is now online

No studio has been announced yet.

Spoiler for Some LN covers and art(some images are too big, will edit em later):

All I can say is that the color illustrations are so vibrant and it's so unfair that Megumi Kato gets that kind of character design. That said, it's so early for an adaptation to get an anime announcement. It's situations like this when delays after such an early bird announcement often kill the hype.

Lol...this story sounds actually good enough to follow out of the generic guy and girl stuff dominating the LN scene these days....

Nice art too. Which is rare...

It's strange to see noitaminA doing LN adaptations targeting the otaku crowd. As long they don't put much unnecessary fanservice and instead follows like a normal slice of life story with added focus on relationships (the kind I'm really addicted to these days), then good for me!
And yes, the illustrations by Kurehito Misaki are quite gorgeous, I think Madhouse and AIC are the only studios that will be capable of replicating the designs even if it deviates a little (then the anime designs based on complicated art drafts are often simplified because budget).

I will wait for a bit more info to come out before I go completely in on this. The character designs look great though.

The PV


Well, I'll be. It's Aniplex x Fantasia Bunko, there's a high possibility of this being done by A1

Quote:
Cast announced in the PV:
Saori Onishi as Eriri Spencer Sawamura
Ai Kayano as Utaha Kasumigaoka

Staff:
Maruto is doing the scripts (so expect a very faithful adaptation since she also wrote the novels)
Hajime Hyakkoku is doing the music.
Production: A-1 Pictures

Great news!

Love the mangas, so very much looking forward to this.
Nothing thrilling or new about the "otaku" setting but it isn't bad.

Theres hope yet I'll see Shinozaku-san get a anime one day.

P.s Eriri<3

Good thing Maruto himself is in charge of the scripts once more.

This is by Maruto, the writer of White Album 2? I would think that means the romance will be pretty well-written, though I wonder if the drama will be on the same level .

He can certainly write a love triangle, though I'm interested to see how he'd handle a proper harem, if Saenai actually has one that is. I can't imagine it would be a very conventional harem under his pen at the very least .

The LN novel art is quite nice, so hopefully that translates well into the anime .

Damn, Maruto wrote the original LN? Titular character isn't the childhood friend, but hey, I'll take what I can get since I know at least Maruto will give her justice.

But next year? Oh God, the wait so long. I guess I'll read whatever manga it's based on for now; luckily the side story with the childhood friend main heroine is currently the one with the most translations. XD

AFAIK the titular character hasn't been voiced yet; she didn't appear in that little skit.

But yeah, this is a bit weird for noitamina timeslot in that Saenai (I dunno why the abbreviation is SaeKano when it's easily confused with SaiKano, at least for me) is a bit too 'normal' as far as otaku anime goes.

If i read a summary correctly,
The story is:
Main character
+1. 18x doujin creator
+2. popular novel writer
+3. elder cousin, lead signer of a band
joining to create a galgame, and the reason why the main character do this is to turn:
4. non-outstanding classmate
into heroine.

Hmm... I gave the first ch of the manga a try and... well, to be honest it did not grab my attention.

Perhaps I just need to come back to it again after a little while to get a fresher perspective of it? ^^

What is with that reaction? I expected you to be a little more interested considering it's the same writer from White Album 2.

Seems you're confused, there's been no director announced.

This is a light novel by the author of WA2, and just like WA2 he'll be adapting it himself for the anime.

So screw it if the premise doesn't really intrigue me,WA2's premise didn't intrigue me either and I ended up loving it so I'm looking forward to it.
