Confirmed for 22 episodes. Animated by Shaft and actually directed by Shinbo. OP and ED by Bump of Chicken.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-07-15/shaft-march-comes-in-like-a-lion-anime-listed-with-22-episodes/.104352
No one gives a shit about this boring series.
>>144226588
>actually directed by Shinbo
Guess I'll put Shaft back on my list.
>>144226588
>actually directed by Shinbo
I'll believe it when I see it
>>144226588
>still no scriptwriter
>still no real director
'ok'
>>144226806
>Scriptwriter for a shaft anime
They'll just fill all 22 episodes with self reference and necktilts with their wacky bake template direction, they don't need a story.
>>144226806
I bet Shinbo will do series comp or something stupid like that.
I figured Shinbo wouldn't direct any TV anime until all their movie work was done and over with. I'm excited now.
>>144226806
>still no real director
Have people ever called you slow?
>>144227140
>>144226800
>>144226760
Why do you people even rate Shinbo? The actual garbage he directed decades ago were all complete garbage flops.
>>144227189
I've been watching his stuff in chronological order, and I think he's very good at framing a scene. The final episode of Metal Fighter Miku is the first time he really shows it, but all of Hurricane Polymar was really good.
>>144227189
He's a good director and I like his storyboards.
>>144227267
He's very average.
I'm so disappointed.
Fuck this shit. I've waited years for Sangatsu to get an adaptation and now it's going to be the fucking Shinbo show instead of Sangatsu. Why not get Kenichi Kasai back to direct considering the fantastic job he did with the first season of Honey & Clover?
>>144227374
His work is critically acclaimed and has been very influential in the industry. Perhaps you're not a fan, but he is certainly not an average director.
>>144227374
I wish.
>>144227494
You do realize that the mangaka herself refused anyone other than Shaft to animate it
>>144227494
Because Umino loves Shinbo and Shaft an only agreed to an adapatation if it was made by them.
>>144227494
I don't get why they keep choosing SHAFT for adaptations that aren't Bake. Everything they make are just self circlejerking flops.
>>144227587
>>144227603
What's the story there? I hadn't heard anything on that.
>>144227374
I think you have a peculiar idea of what "average" entails. Even if you think he's shit, he's a style of shit that goes outside of the box most anime directors play in.
>>144227494
Go back to art school and stop posting this every fucking time.
>>144227626
2/3 of their series have sold 3000+ discs. That's pretty amazing.
>>144227777
You may not realize this, but SHAFT actually did anime production for some anime before Bakemonogatari anon.
>>144227777
Half of those are the yearly Bake season.
>>144227603
Source? I need to see the proof that the mangaka has such good taste.
>>144227851
That's exactly my point, though. SHAFT isn't a one-hit wonder studio, they're pretty consistently successful.
>>144227902
Bake is pretty consistently successful, take away that series and SHAFT has actually more flops than successful series.
>>144227629
Her comment from 3lion-anime.com
>Worshiped Mr or Simbo's works like Bakemonogatari, Madoka Magica, Arakawa Under the Bridge and Zetsubō Sensei, I said "Only SHAFT, and with Akiyuki Simbo in control!". If this dream wasn't realized, I think I would have refused the anime adaptation of my manga. I am very happy! I intend to help and encourage him as best I can.
Plus she was praising their shows on her twitter and Anigera.
>>144227938
This is a stupid argument to begin with, and it's still wrong. If you remove the 8 Bake series

Amazing pedigree, SHAFT.
>>144227997
If you remove the 8 bake series, you're left with 21 series, of which 11 have sold over 3000 discs. So that's still a good success rate, removing their most successful long running series.
>>144228059
Not him, but 11/21 selling over 3K is more or less normal.
>>144228103
Sure. So what you're saying is that if you remove their main project for the last several years they still have a normal sales rate. Is that supposed to be bad?
I really want to know which seiyuu they're casting. I hope that info comes out in next week's Young Animal.
>>144228103
That would make them the 7th most successful studio, rather than the second. Doesn't seem that normal to me.
Threadly reminder that SHAFT, even with the yearly bakeshit season and Kizu movie, couldn't manage to make more profit than KinoAni's worst year in a long time.
>>144228228
Kyoani is the most profitable studio in the industry, there's no denying that. SHAFT isn't willing to take the kind of risks that going completely independent entails, but they still do a lot of their own innovation and put out good anime. There's no need to try and spark a studio war.
>>144228155
Kamiya is friends with Umino, favored by Shaft and voiced Honey and Clover's MC. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get a role.
Now that I think about it, Kamiya met his wife thanks to Shaft.
Are KyoAni and Shaft the best?
>>144228388
I've been using those stats in this thread as well, and it should be noted that that only goes from 2005-2014.
>>144228346
I just hope he doesn't get cast as Rei; he wouldn't suit his kind of character at all. Maybe someone like Nikaidou.
>>144228285
>Kyoani is the most profitable studio in the industry, there's no denying that
Is this a fucking joke? Do you realize how much money Sunrise makes? Their profit is several times larger than KyoAni's entire revenue.
>>144228592
Isn't that largely from sources other than anime sales? I might be wrong, but that's what I was referring to.
>>144228592
He probably meant most profitable late night, privately owned anime studio. I don't believe anyone thinks KyoAni is bigger than Sunrise, IG, Perriot or Toei
>>144228647
I was referring specifically to disc sales, but I'm no expert. I assumed that the really big studios made their money mostly in merchandising.
Did anyone read that Shinbo x Umino interview?
Looks good. Hopefully Shinbo actually directs it.
I can see it attracting an unfavorable crowd though.
>>144228800
That's why I avoid adaptations, usually. The threads always suck.
>>144228020
>Dissing Shaft
>Posting Kyoani reaction picture
Every single time.
>>144226588
How much do you think is gonna be covered?
>>144226588
So the ED is that collab song, neat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCWbfjf8Tw
>>144228228
Why does shaft just ask Aniplex for more money
>>144229269
They do
Everyone place your bets.
>>144228859
KyoAni is the best, after all.
>>144229269
Wow and ppl say Shaft only has 3 VAs. Suprised to see Kamiya not having that many roles.
>>144228862
Rei winning the new-comer king tournament or end of the bullying arc would probably be the best places to end, but I dunno if that's too much or too little content for 22 episodes.
>>144228498
I could see him as Smith or maybe Hayashida-sensei, but yeah, he would be a horrible Rei.
>>144227175
It is really common for SHAFT to announce Shinbo as "director" and then there is a series director when the first episode airs in the credits.
>>144233839
I'm pretty sure you could get a Bingo on any of the diagonals without even watching the show.
>>144233839
Who is Ikuhara? He made that dumb bear lesbian anime?
>>144234071
Best known for Utena.
>>144234125
Oh that repetitive anime. Couldnt finish it. Thought Shaft had 1 style but Ikuhara guy cant adapt anything different.
>>144234071
How new?
>>144234071
The most FABULOUS MAX director in Japan.
>>144234164
I think it aired around 2015 it isn't that new.
>>144234151
Oishi is an improved Ikuhara to be honest. And Shitbo is just a poor man's Nakamura.

>>144234274
Oonuma is the best director to have come out of the Shaft funny farm.
>>144234393
Too bad his anime in Silver Link have been shit. Apart from Baka to Test, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, and maybe C3 he has been a lack luster director. His latest work are even more shit than before.
>>144234125
Still great. Sadly too niche to succeed though.
>no info on the seiyuu cast yet
Who gives a shit.
>>144234776
Fans of shaft and the series? Is that so hard to comprehend or are you a moron?
>>144233839
Mahoromatic was a Gainax title. Shaft only assisted with some animation.
>>144234801
Mahoromatic was a co-production as in equal partners.
>>144234988
Doesnt matter. None of the creative control was given to Shaft. Look at the staff.
>>144234492
I think it's just because Silver Link has been notoriously awful at getting good source material to adapt.
>>144234801
Who would even outsource animation to SHAFT?
>>144235898
This was before your time young one
>>144234274
If you were going to make bizarre claims, you could have at least gone for the Shaft director who actually worked under Ikuhara.
Thank you based translator for dumping those volumes recently. They are so good.
Hinata is so sexual now with hershort hair.And she still looks like a elementary/middle schooler.
>>144233839
>Ikuhara invented artsy slideshows
>>144236163
Rei's pairing with Hina who looks so much younger than him really turns me on. I'm glad the mangaka didn't have him go for the older sister.
>>144236163
Does she have no say in this?
>>144236554
He's just declaring his intent, they aren't engaged or anything.
>>144236554
She thinksit was just a clever ruse on the dad by Rei to get him out of their lives.
>>144236450
I'dfuck all the sisters.
>>144234492
But Rakudai and Rokujoma were good. Unhappy was a disappointment though.
>>144236657
agree those were fine. call me when u see girlfriend kari
>>144234492
He's still perfectly fine as a director it's just a matter of not having any actual good stories to handle yet. I mean his work on Watamote, Anne Happy, etc. shows that he still hasn't lost his touch as a director.
That being said, those three shows you mentioned are like the most SHAFT-y shows he's done before he totally diverged from that style.
>>144236707
He didn't direct that.
>>144236655
Those are some ugly character designs
>>144234393
Honestly I just want Team Shinbo again.
PPD is still by far my favorite SHAFT show.
I fucking hate how recent shaft ruins shows with their garbage animation and direction.
The artsy bullshit only works for a few shows, like Madoka and Monogatari. It's shit for series like Aikawa and this one.
I'll give this 3 episodes and if it's full of their stupid backgrounds and shit animation I'll drop it. What a waste of talent.
How could anyone bully this?
>>144237061
Recent shaft ruined what? Nisekoi was better than the manga. Koufuku is great with a bit of dumb Okada writing. Only shit anime Shaft did recently is MCA and thats all Jin's fault.
Seeing what you think about gatari and madoka proves that you havent watched any shaft pre 2009.
>>144237061
>shit animation
You're either baiting or retarded if you think this needs high quality animation.
>>144237088
Why is Mirai on that picture?
>>144237185
Let me rephrase. The actual animated parts are animated well.
Their animation style is garbage.
>>144237147
Sasami was also bad, but that was probably due to source material, and SHAFT did a great job visually.
>>144237147
>Arakawa
>Vampire bund
>Mekaku
>Graffiti
>Good
All would have been better by another studio.
I feel sorryfor their half-sister.
>>144226588
why does this look like honey and clover
and will i cry like a bitch again when it's all over
>>144237330
No
No
Depends if you dont have Jin running the project.
No
>>144237390
Me too. I hope Seijirou takes responsibility and doesn't abandon her.
>>144237397
Same author.
>>144236087
They're both one trick ponies to be honest
>>144237553
You don't think about it much when they're just spoken of, but when they actually show her, it actually adds some weight to the situation.
>>144237585
Pretty sure thats Shinbou's style not Oishi. You can see a lot of that stlye in Cossette no Shouzou.What a bad crafted meme.
>>144237585
Anon, Oishi has not worked under Ikuhara.
>>144237719
Bake was all Oishi. Cossette no Shouzou is more similar to Nakamura style.
>>144237761
You don't have to work under them to take heavy inspiration on their works.
>>144237800
>You don't have to work under them to take heavy inspiration on their works.
Of course you don't. I'm just not sure why you responded with Oishi when I referenced Takeuchi.
>>144237800
Ya I know but that foreground technique is usually that of Shinbou. Its riddled all over his older series.
>>144237857
Read the entire reply chain and you'll find out >>144234274
>>144237857
Wish Takeuchi would do something on a directorial level. All he has been doing with SHAFT is Production Design for the recent gatari series.
>>144234274
>Shitbo is just a poor man's Nakamura
Not really, he's typically far flashier and less subdued than Nakamura.
>>144237800
Bake's style is pretty clearly taking a lot from Shinbo's whether due to direct input or just from his influence on Oishi.
>>144237147
Has it been announced yet who is doing series composition for 3gatsu? Shaft better keep Okada far, far away from this production.
>>144238063
>the series composer for an adaptation is going to ruin it
Come on, anon.
>>144238124
You have no idea how shit Okada is young one. No matter what studio she is at the anime turns out to be shit.
>>144238050
As far as visuals go the only influence Shitbo has on Oishi are the eye closeups and foreground negative space.
>>144238162
>muh boogieman
Just because you don't like her doesn't make her responsible for things that aren't her job.
>>144238124
Okada does when she puts in extra melodramatic shit that wasn't in the source.
>>144226588
>Shinbo
>Taking care of bullying arc
Who's the real director, again?
>>144227518
>Shinbo
>influential
>critically acclaimed
Its sad that people believe this.
>>144239917
People use the critically acclaimed meme when their favorite director hasn't really made anything successful.
>>144237147
Late reply but Nisekoi should not have done by Shaft. It was supposed to be the ultimate expression of harem clichés and Shaft fucked it up with their head tilts and artsy, inappropriate backgrounds. Also I hate how Shaft can't seem to communicate noise in anything they do. Shit feels too quiet and makes the mood unintentionally eerie.
>>144226588
>OP and ED by Bump of Chicken.
YES YES YES YES
>replying to a thread where the last post was about an hour ago
Sorry, can't hold in the hype
>>144234259
Underrated post, (You)
>Shaft
Dropped.
>>144226588
This is just a shitty drama show.
I wanted another Hikaru no Go but the author rather write a shitty drama story instead so you won't be learning how to play Japanese chess while reading this manga.
What a waste of time.
>>144241342
> It was supposed to be the ultimate expression of harem clichés
You say this like it's a good thing.
The full main stream treatment.

An unique opinion.

I can already see the OST selling like hotcakes while the actual anime won't even get past the 5k line.
>>144247295
It airs on a NHK General slot.
It will be treated like a TV drama and must have good ratings.
>>144247349
I don't think the slot has been confirmed.
>get 10/10 adaptation from JC staff, literally improved the source while remaining 100% faithful
>"i want shinbo to do it XD"
fucking women
>>144247379
>get 10/10 adaptation from JC staff
I fear they will fuck up the character design, last time with hachimitsu JC staff did a great job, now we'll have long necks and head tilts
Akari is going to get married to some fucktard and we have to witness that.
>>144247379
Both studios are complete garbage, one by redrawing panels and the other by completely disregarding the tone and feel of the source and adding necktilts and shinbo approved inside jokes.
>>144226588
The background is literally perfect and mimics her style, but the characters are fucking cel shaded and look nothing like the background or her style.
>>144247423
>redrawing panels
is this a bad thing? Monster did it and it was spectacular, sometimes good direction and clever editing is more important than animation
>>144247430
They look like vectors and too digitized, very out of place.
>>144247412
Shimada and Hayashida aren't fucktards
>>144247474
JC redraws and pans. I don't see the point in adapting manga if that's all you're doing.
Is this a Your lie in April clone?
>MC looks the same

Pretty much.
>>144247584
The 3gatsu manga predates the other one by several years. The story and characters also are nothing alike.
>>144237585
Thats actually Taleuchi Nobuhiro's art direction
So the anime ends in March.
Good stuff.
JC staff is hit or miss with their adaptations. Although I enjoy the Shokugeki adaptation, the art and direction look really cheap. Like the backgrounds and coloring looks almost like cheap budget hentai art, while the Amanchu adpatation has looked great so far.
SHAFT is one of my favorite studios, but I have to agree that their style seem like an odd fit for 3-gatsu.
>>144247622
>The story and characters also are nothing alike.
The main characters from each series and the drama around them are very much alike.
>MC is a pro at what he does, but he doesn't reach his potential because family issues
Tell me this isn't true and I'll know you haven't read at least one of these two manga.
JC Staff is just a glorified temp office.
There is no "JC Staff is"
>>144247643

>>144235898
Shaft was once a clean up and post production studio that took jobs from various studios.
>>144247379
As promised, I'm here to tell you to fuck off yet again.
>>144247845
That's trying so hard.
>>144247850
That doesn't answer the question. Clean up and post aren't animation.
>thread is a SHAFT shitfest
On another note, just caught up to the manga. I hate Hina's hairstyle now, so that's unfortunate, but I also feel like her character changed with the hairstyle. She has much less of a personality.
No VAs have been mentioned yet, right? I know they bring backChiaki Omigawafor some kind of role.
>>144247782
But he'll miss out on all those moments when the ED song starts to play early before transitioning into the ED visuals.
>>144245944

kek
>>144247920
She never really had a personality to begin with. She's more of a plot device for MC.
>>144247920
She's much less traumatized, if that's what you mean.
>>144247952
> She never really had a personality to begin with
Did we read the same manga? She's absolutely got a personality.
>>144247975
Yeah, sure.
Good that they picked Shaft for it.
Just imagine one of the wannabe mainstream studios like Production I.G. would anime this.
Disturbing
>>144247800
also the
In This Corner of the World movie
>>144248002
IG is pretty mainstream, more so than SHAFT or any other late night studio combined.
>>144247952
I don't know, I get that, but I felt like she had more of a personality before the haircut, even if it wasn't much to begin with. Before the haircut, it seemed like she was growing up like her sister, and feeling the weight of the responsibility to help out and to become more adult. She gains a desire to take over grandpa's business, and begins to mature through the drama that happened with the bullying. But after the haircut, she just kind of became typical kouhai romantic interest with generic friend A-ko who brings nothing to the table except making MC feel jealous that she's not hanging out with him.
>>144247955
I don't think it was ever trauma. It was hardship, but it never really became something that traumatized her, like it did her friend who had to move from being bullied.
>>144247865
>he really thinks that clean up and post production job in animation industry isn't doing any animation at all.
>>144248050
I know right? Cleanup and post are basically the most important part of 2d animation, cleanup involves things like keyframing, 3D modeling and marketing while post involves in between and coloring, also accounting and storyboarding, baka I can't believe /a/ doesn't know about this fact.
This is a Japanese high school student.
No wonder all these boys want to hit it.
>>144248206
She's the flattest girl in their high school, of course they want to hit that.
>>144248272
How much older is nee-san? Hard to imagine her eventually looking like that.
>>144228020
What does it have to do with upcoming 3gatsu animation that will air at daytime?
>>144226588
>OP and ED by Bump of Chicken
nice.
>>144248343
If I recall correctly, Akari is currently 23. Maybe they take after different sides of the family in looks. I hope so, because I want Hina to stay small and flat forever.
All the boys thirsty for that bob cut.
The bully is probably servicing salarymen at Love Hotels right now.
Hina is just too innocently sexual. I can understand why Rei wants to fuck her so badly that he rushed into that proposal.
>>144248514
>innocently sexual
>>144248480
Uminos paneling is fucking garbage holy shit. That clusterfuck.
>>144248834

It's pretty obvious Natsuki Hanae is gonna voice Rei.
>>144249224
And now he's trying to set her up with a boyfriend. I wonder if there's a chance ofNikaidouwinning the Akaribowl.
How far could 22 episodes cover? It will probably get to the point where Rei fights Shimada but is that enough to get to the bullying arc and the game between Rei and Souya?
>>144228020
Well, they made some great series that didn't pander enough to otaku. What's your point? Go back to /v/ or /tv/ if you think that having good sales matter, faggot.

Nigger, what? Rei's game with Shimada is like chapter 30, but his game with Souya is like chapter 80. I hope they don't cover 80 chapters in 22 episodes. The obvious stopping point would be at or just after Souya vs. Shimada.

Shaft pays lot of attention to the shows to make them feel like the original material. Whenever the creators (like Aoki Ume, Kobayashi Jin, Nakamura Hikaru) have been on web radio they have said that Shinbo asks for direct input even on the smallest details.
Each series has its distinct artstyle that actually resembles the original work, lots of great seiyuu and fitting soundtracks. With few exceptions their source material isn't generic garbage either, so following their series is a pretty safe bet.

Who are you quoting?

>Each series has a distinct artstyle
Not since Bake. They usually just slap that template to everything these days. If you want to see Shaft doing distinct artstyle. Look at SZS, Hidamari, PPD, Moon Phase, REC, Popotan. Then look at how similar Vampire Bund, Bake, Mekaku, Denpa Onna, Nisekoi, even Graffiti are from each other. Same visual style with only slight variations.

This is irony at its finest. Luckily no one is going to take your shit posting seriously.

Irony
>>144251471
literally what
Looks like it will be a massive flop.
Oh boy. Can't wait for the headtilts.
>>144227518
I didn't know ripping off Dezaki counts as being "critically acclaimed" and "very influential".
>>144251580
If you think there are similarities with denpa onna and mca then you truly don't know shit about anime and there's no point taking you seriously. Your shouting like a manbaby and posting baits in hopes that someone will actually bite. People are smarter than that anon. But I'll give u an A for effort.
>>144251623
Why?
>>144251723
It just looks like something that won't get much viewership.
>>144251793
Clearly you have have no idea what nhk is. Why do you continue to make yourself look stupid.
>>144251824
Even NHK has dead hours, like every other TV station.
>>144251883
Sorry for taking you seriously. Carry on
>>144251793
a million people are reading the manga
>>144251793
28. *,*31,533 *,140,668 3-gatsu no Lion Vol.11 Limited Edition

NHK is public TV, people who watch public TV don't exactly have the brightest minds. Do you really think the average housewife will like or even understand Shinbo's directing style or be willing to watching anime? There hasn't been anime airing on that station for a reason, anime is very niche even in Japan. Timeslot hasn't been confirmed, but I wouldn't be so sure about it airing on prime time, it may be pushed into one of the dead slots.
Why are you being so defensive anyway?

Manga readership doesn't always translate to anime viewership or BD sales and you know that, come on. Just take a look at AssClass, Terraformats, Erased, Prison School, World Trigger, manga far more successful than 3-gatsu but their respective anime barely sold.
>>144252255
>BD sales
People are talking about viewership, not BD sales.
>>144252255
You're one of those retard who think that only BD sales matters?
>>144252255
3-gatsu was doing better than Boku Dake before the anime aired.
>>144252287
>doesn't always translate to anime viewership or BD sales
>>144252291
No, it is obvious that they're counting on ratings for this show, but as I explained in my previous post, I don't believe it will do that well.
>>144252255
All these words and nothing of value posted. There is a reason why most nhk shows are 2 cours and multi season.
>>144252370
Part of the reason is because tax payers pay for it since it airs on public TV, funding is never a problem. It's not much different from anywhere else in the world really.
>>144251471
Ok.
>>144252992
I was referring to cinematography and direction, not so much character design.
>>144253051
Well then if you're talking about "Shinbou style" with dramatic poses and headtilts, abrupt art changes, abstract backgrounds, random powerpoint slides and Innu Curry collages, it started before Bake. SZS is probably the most extreme example and precedes Bake.
Then indeed every series used a subset of these tricks, but with its own style and to various degrees.
>>144228228
I can't into Japanese.
Can someone say how many employees Shaft has?
>March's Lion
>Zaregoto
>Fate/Extra Last Encore
Are other studios even trying?
>>144254517
That's quite a lot.
a PV will be revealed in one week.
>>144254715
As long as there's no headtilts in the PV I'll have a bit of hope.

What are Madoka and Nisekoi, Alex?
>>144254795
There will be headtilts.
Why would you insist on having your manga animated by Shaft and then ask for no headtilt?

Next yougn animal will have more info about the anime. They might post a pv on the same day. (07/22)
>>144228388
No, only GODANI is. Everything Shaft has done not named Monogatari, Madoka or Nisekoi has flopped
>>144254982
Every issue this year came with new info about the anime.
>>144228228
When 3gatsu flops, as it will because NHK anime always does, Aniplex will tell them "you have failed us for the last time" and shut them down.
Maybe GODANI has a janitor position open for Shitbo.

They're smarter than the tards who outsource to Gokumi, I'll tell you that much.
All those wastes of oxygen have to their name is a supermarket-tier Madoka ripoff and a quarter-budget K-On (plus one with that British slut).
>>144237147
This. Nisekoi NEEDED to get Shafted. Still didn't save it from the eyerolling clichés, but at least it was pretty to look at.
Plus Nao Toyama's voice and laughter is qt.
>>144255074
no, the last two were about Berserk, its anime and game.
A PV would be great but I don't believe it.
