Thanks a lot NeoSam.

Now, one has to wonder how they'll handle this. I mean will the anime tell the story just like the manga in the same order? That's probably the best thing to do, and 12/13 episodes could be just the right amount of episodes for the job.

I hope this anime adaptation will do the job though, unlike Ichigo 100%'s adaptation.

Kana Futayo · 2008-08-30, 08:22

No news yet on which studio will handle this?

D a m i e n · 2008-08-30, 08:54

Lol wasnt this thing was cut short by Jump, and it s receiving an anime adaption.
I sure hope they arent going to fag up the ending like the manga was and that they are going to reduce the cast cause there were so many useless character (art club girl, swimming club girl, kappa guy etc etc).

What? The art girls story was one of my favorites from the manga. Such a sweet story, and i'd love to see it animated.

Supah Em · 2008-08-30, 09:20

The only thing that kept me going in this series is the conflict between Kei and that "Pickle" girl ( Can't forget that!

) over that Kappa guy. Seriously, Tsunderes have a mean streak in my books and it doesnt seem to be ending anytime soon.

My only wish for this series is that they should have an anime original ending. Seriously, the manga's ending screamed "axed" and no matter how much they cover it up.... jeez.

maximilianjenus · 2008-08-30, 09:30

see the plus side of this, the manga was being published in shounen jump and it might have gotten cancelled because it did not fit with the people that buy that; but by being adapted to tv, it can have an even broader public and hit better than the manga did; thus probably expanding the history.

Supah Em · 2008-08-30, 09:41

Plus the girl's art is pure love <3

Kawashita creates the best girls in terms of art.

NeoSam · 2008-08-30, 09:58

Yeah, the bishoujos she draws are very cute

I was so hoping for her one shot manga "Akiiro Bousou Biyori" to get a full manga series >_< the bishoujo in that manga is very cute

Waven · 2008-08-30, 11:14

I agree, her way of drawing cute girls is still my favorite on the market. It was actually my main reason for reading the series since the plot was so-so going from overkill to boring character arcs (i liked the one with the art girl though) to being too normal and predictive icing the cake with a cut ending thanks to jump.

As for the anime announcement, i'm really looking forward to it it's just that i'm pretty suprised for such a short running manga to get animated, dunno how common this is though. It would be great if the story got expanded bythe anime but honestly i'm not putting too much hope in that i'll be glad for anything we get

Indeed, and i was quite pleased with her creations in anime format (Ichigo 100%). I still say to this day that Nishino with longish hair is the most beautiful looking girl i've ever seen.

& let's not forget Aya.

ZODDGUTS · 2008-08-30, 16:53

Like I said in the other thread hope they do certain things differently in the anime, did not like how the characters were introduce in the manga made it hard to remember their names and confusing as to who was the main character(s) or if it was going to follow anyone specifiably. Also concentrate more on the interesting characters or even cut certain characters because they weren't interesting at all.

The manga was decent but not something I was excited about nor do I plan on re-reading it. I guess I'll watch a few episodes if it's exactly the same as the manga was then I won't be watching till series to the end.

I triple second that

.. for quite some time now if anyone would have asked for my favorite manga/anime girl I'd named her without hesitation.

the problem with ichigo 100% was that the manga was still ongoing when the anime ended.
Hatsukoi Unlimited already ended, so you really have to be inept to mess up an adaptation on a finished manga.

I was really happy with the way everything ended in hatsukoi unlimited, the only pairing i didn't like of the three definite pairings was the one between

I know what the problem was, though i never said i disliked the anime adaptation --- i enjoyed it very much. Mainly because of my strong love for the manga.

The anime adaptation of the shounen manga Hatsukoi Limited has been confirmed:

Edit:
I updated the first post with the 4th and last volume of the manga.

Shiroth · 2008-10-15, 13:37

I can say i'm perfectly happy with that cast choice.

solomon · 2008-10-15, 16:34

This was a cute shonen jump manga. I hope the maintain the integrety of Kawashita's designs in the anime decently enough.

Odd though, I did think this title burned up the charts enough to warrant an anime version.

NoOneKnowS · 2008-10-16, 05:46

I wish they make an original ending and actually give everyone........someone. Yamamoto? and that lollipop guy (lol; I think I need to reread this manga) was my fav.

Spoiler for little spoiler:

Anyways; any new news from this? Like the airing dates or anime chara designs?

well, at the end of the manga there are two official couples. One of them was so mismatched that it hurt though.
