Who is that as a Sora no Woto character?Oh my god. YES
The thing to know, then, is that unlike the game, where you play as a modern-day Japanese guy dropped into this world and, yes, can romance pretty much all of the characters, there are no male characters of note in the anime (well, there is one minor one, but he's not very important at all and rarely appears). It's all about the female cast, and that cast is huge, of course, given that it's RotTK.
As for why it's somewhat popular... because it's cute and funny and is RotTK, I assume?
I don't dislike any of the four, but I'd consider the opposite order for that. At least, Switzerland would probably be in first, anyway. Between the other three I'm less sure.
Because.
They've learned to deal with the recoil, obviously... remember, they're not squishy humans, they're guns. They're heavy, sink in water, etc.
She never left.
Nope, no transforming here. Also, while in terms of being divided by countries it's a bit like IS, it's not actually a harem show, as far as I know anyway, so it's not like it in that respect.
I know you're joking, but why would you assume she is that just because of what she wears? It's clear from the show she's not like that.
Yeah, I don't know much about guns either, but the manga's somewhat entertaining so I'm following it anyway.
Someone needs to have an eyepatch, unfortunately. She is a war veteran though, so at least, though, it's not for no reason at all.
I agree, yeah.
Saikano's depressing, but it's more bad than anything else, unfortunately. The story is so, SO stupid, and intellectually insulting and wrong, too. Yeah, I didn't like it at all...
And no, not just because it's depressing and apocalyptic. Of course I often dislike such things, but when done right, like in Texhnolyze, I can like such shows.
JC Staff? Hmm... that could be bad, but we'll see. They have at least made some good shows (Slayers franchise!), but ... we'll have to see I guess.
Yeah... as I said above, I remain to be convinced.

I had this avatar before wonzo had his.
Apparently I didn't make it far enough into the game to see that. Time to dust off the PSP!
I wonder how ridiculously much a Fate spinoff with nothing but servants from the Sengoku era would sell. I mean, it's pretty much free money!
My fantasy roster:
Akechi Mitsuhide - Assassin
Honda Tadakatsu - Berserker
Fuuma Kotarou - Caster
Sanada Yukimura - Lancer
Miyamoto Musashi - Saber
Date Masamune - Rider
Oda Nobunaga - Archer

There are more than enough space pugs to go around.
I'm desperate here. An empty KyoAni block holds the slim possibility of a revival.
Also Gatoh is working on a KyoAni show so he has links with the company and he mentioned awhile ago that he was working on a long awaited project. I BELIEVE!

Oh don't make me choose. Cure Moonlight is my slight favourite, but I honestly love all of them.
Heartcatch is the Gurren Lagann of magical girl cartoons.
So so glorious. I want it so bad.
I would be up even for a Sengoku Basara x Fate work. I'm that desperate
Really?
...BELIEVE!

That's cool too, just so long as we all agree
Cure Sunshine has the best transformation.
Dude. I'm on the verge of writing fanfiction now, and I haven't done that since I was 12.

Zhang He? Is that Zhang Fei? Whatever the case though, the male character is
Fake Ryuubi. That is, a guy late in S1 who goes around pretending to be Liu Bei, because Ryuubi (the real, female Liu Bei) didn't appear in the first season.
... Given how much of an annoying idiot she is, though, she was better off absent... but anyway.
... Given how much of an annoying idiot she is, though, she was better off absent... but anyway.
My favorite character was S1's main character, Kan'nu, aka Guan Yu. Kan'nu's a good lead. She's a good fighter, decent leader, not too stupid, wears green...
Let's make it a joint work and take fanfiction.net by storm.

The real issue here is that usually the main reason LN adaptations get greenlit is the hope that they'll increase sales of the LN. But the Full Metal Panic series is over, and another season isn't going to be doing much to increase its sales.
Incidentally this is also the reason that another season of Spice and Wolf is highly unlikely.
I hope so. Unless they're just trying to confirm their prejudices.
Whatever the project is, it's scheduled for next year so hopefully more Haruhi in the fall.
They might do an adaptation of Another. They could also use Another as justification for another cour of FMP. It's currently running. I don't know the popularity/sales though.
I meant more along the lines of, "not be so horribly stiff and tied to formula, not give the annoying as hell mascots so much screen time, and not being so fucking dull overall."
Granted, it was never as tedious as Precure Max Heart.
Hyouka is a adaptation of a year-old LN series that's already finished though. But it hasn't had a adaptation before.
Nope, Zhang He is a really effeminate officer allied with Wei. Apparently Koihime Musou uses the Japanese readings of the characters' names, so let me see if I can find Zhang He's Japanese name and I'll try to get back to you on that.
though from the sound of it, fake Liu Bei has nothing to do with Zhang He so I suppose just nevermind on that
I........I kind of actually want to do this.

I think there's been at least 2 Mar references in each episode so far.

Isn't Another set after the end of FMP? It'd be weird to jump to that.
It's like you want us to be not hyped.
Someone needs to be realistic.

In that neither one has gotten a Blu-ray release?
The biggest limiter to another season of FMP is that the sales for it bombed. Now that KyoAni's got a taste of that sweet K-ON nectar, I'm not sure if they would take the risk on a sequel. I mean weirder things have happened(like Suda51 still being employed) but it's unlikely on that premise alone. I could theoretically see another studio such as A-1 taking a shot at it but it's hard to see KyoAni doing it themselves.
Yes it would be weird but they could view it as a sort of reboot to the franchise. They could also fill in certain events prior with flashbacks. It's not ideal but I could see this being done if the producers were determined not to continue with the FMP storyline. It's certainly better than nothing.

It amazes me how little I care about my favourite series getting Blu-Ray releases despite having a Blu-Ray.In that neither one has gotten a Blu-ray release?

I care.
Then again, it's not like Heartcatch would get a release here or Gurren Lagann, since Bandai Entertainment is effectively dead.I'm all hype no bite though.
Last time I wrote Bleach and Naruto fanfics back when I was 13, I wanted to kill myself after reading them through.
Needless to say, I'm no Gen Urobuchi

...What is this injustice?
I would be down for any Naruverse MMO game.
fuuuuuu, I'm getting pumped again.

The Hyouka novel is actually 11 years old, although the series it started has had more recent entries. It's a weird choice. But as you said, it hasn't had an adaptation, and there's definitely a good chance of the anime doing good things for its sales.
Incidentally, this reminds me that the sales of the first Magic Tree House book skyrocketed in Japan upon the release of the recent anime movie adaptation.
Another season of FMP can only be made if Kadokawa wants it to be made. A-1 can't decide to do it on their own.
They should be much more worried that it will suck because it was written by KEY.
It is. But there's barely any crossover.
Hyouka is rather old but its getting an anime series.

Only Key fans care about it anyway.
I think the question here is if another season of FMP would do anything for novel sales that the first three seasons didn't already.
Anyway, if KyoAni ends up returning to one of their old franchises it'll be Haruhi, no question.
It really has. But, every night, and for a bout of incredibly bad timing, I've decided to tackle a bit of my backlog along with this monster season. I'm 8 eps into FMAB atm, and going to do JoJo along side it.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia 1
Tacky, is the quickest way to describe that one. Bad dialogues, bad art, bad animation, and even clumsier feeling story-boarding--like many of you guys have mentioned, the blatant repetition being the biggest offender. I was hoping that it'd explore her being a bit of a devil from the get go, rather than
relegate the aspect to a simple shot at the end, and jump head on into harem hijinks
I hear that the manga's actually kind of good, and the art does look leagues above what is on offer here, so I'll give it a read before I write this off completely. Regardless, it's safe to say that I won't be watching anymore of this.
The OP, Choir Jail, (ED in this ep) is pretty bomb though. I'm an absolute sucker for power pop, and that double bass spoke to the heart. Also to note, I do love that it's another OP this season that gives a bit of insight into the character, though this does it with a much heavier hand than say: Lupin or Champloo's ED.
I think KyoAni, for better or worse, wants to do stuff that will be massive sales successes. They most likely do not want to do middling stuff anymore.
(Then again, Nichijou)
They never even bothered to follow up on Lucky Star and that was a hit. I agree that its going to be Haruhi since that is the super cash cow next to K-On.

It's not like Hyouka is a guaranteed seller.
Nichijou was an accidental bomb.
I'm not even sure what the deal is with Haruhi as the Endless 8 thing didn't go over well at all. Disappearance is very good though so maybe they do care about the franchise.
Yes but Kadokawa might let another studio do the project if KyoAni is reluctant(which is very likely).
Wow um this should be interesting to watch. The manga is acceptable but Silver Link isn't.

The problem is that kyoani has a 'stick' now.
Do we really want a FMP where Tessa has the kyoani patented moeblob face?
Yes we do.

I don't see why KyoAni would be reluctant but Kadokawa wouldn't be.
no single person should ever have the right to claim ownership of the space pug!
J.C. Staff and KEY could be quite an "interesting" combination.
It's not like FMP has amazing or non-generic original designs anyway.
As stated earlier KyoAni is probably looking for blockbuster hits now and FMP would be a middling project. By handing off the license to another studio Kadokawa could generate revenue and not use their top studio to do so.
I'm going to join in with all the cool kids and start watching Fate/Zero, Duckroll recommends it so what could go wrong?
Exactly... and the Full Metal Panic Light Novels have been finished since August 2010.. even if it got a final series I doubt KyoAni will be behind it (Gatoh has a good relationship with Gonzo as well... he did the script for both Druaga seasons) and it will probably get the ZnT4 treatment and have to go through a heap of books and leave lots of stuff out.

I would totally buy a Bizarre Jelly 5 anime and only feel slightly creeped out by it.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia 01:
meh. If repeating the first part of the show wasn't already a blatant cost-cutting measure, it would still be unbelievably stupid because the original sequence was already indicating HEY, THIS IS ALL HAPPENING BECAUSE OF A GHOST about as directly as it possibly could. Everyone's pessimism about Silver Link appears to have been well-founded. This was some of the most hamfisted exposition and character establishment I've ever seen, though it didn't help that the characters seem pretty dull regardless.
Add in some really terrible CG backgrounds and a general lack of animation and this one can pretty much be declared dead on arrival. I wonder whether I'll drop this or Medaka Box first.

I don't see the problem: recent KyoAni works have consistently improved on the original character designs (Haruhi S2 + Disappearance, K-ON, Nichijou).
Westlo, if theres one show you really should be watching now its Fate Zero. It is absolutely amazing.
