New KimiNozo anime in the works
Today, 27/8, was Mitsuki Hayase’s birthday. Age-soft held an event to celebrate it. Yes in Japan, even eroge characters get their birthdays celebrated! :3
According to Moon Phase, an announcement for a new Kimi ga Nozomu Eien anime was made during the event.
アージュ、特報 「君が望む永遠 “遙ルート”」 アニメ化決定！！
今日のイベントでも正式発表された模様。まだ 「君望」 で引っ張りますか。「あゆまゆ劇場」 のネット配信アニメは、てっきり 「マブラヴ」 アニメ化への布石かと思ってたんだけど、こっちと連動した企画だったようで。
From Age: New “Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - Haruka’s route” anime confirmed!
This was officially announced during today’s event. Although it had been speculated that the “Ayu Mayu Theatre” anime distributed on the offical site was part of the preparation towards a Muv-Luv anime, it turned out to be another KimiNozo project.
I hate Haruka. I love the ending of the first series. God, why did they have to announce it on Mitsuki’s birthday? :( The irony, it burns…
Still, more Mitsuki and more Akane is good. <3
Apparently from what I have heard (not currently confirmed), the new anime will be an OVA series and it will take place in an alternate timeline where Haruka did not get knocked down by a van. (What the fuck? How is that KimiNozo anymore?)

Stupid waste of resources.

You suck.

It’s KimiNozo in the way that Girlfriend of Steel is NGE, as were the mangas based on it… aka ‘it’s not, but they’re reusing the characters anyways’.

Has to do with that Kimi ga Nozomu Eien special fandisc, in an alternate world where Haruka didn’t get knocked down.

Better Haruka’s route than surprise guro anime

Oh I’m celebrating Kyou’s birthday in about 2 weeks time.
I’m quite amused at the irony of the situation.

If only they would use Akane’s route…
haiz.

Screw Haruka; Akane for the win. But I guess the Haruka ending will please all those haters of the series’ original ending.
Isn’t telling us that it’s going to be a “Haruka route” spoiling the ending? One of the main attraction of a harem anime adapted from a eroge/manga is to find out who ends up with the loser male protagonist. What fun is there when you already know how it will turn out?

Lim: Shuffle was pretty much set for an Asa ending before we were halfway through, but that didnt’ stop people from watching or enjoying it anyways. It happens.

Screw Haruka;
You wish?
I think Akane has more than enough fanfare, and it’s about time older, but superior games (yay Kanon) get more pimpage in light of how recent and crappy games (boo Shuffle) are popular just because they’re shinier and have less dust on top of them.

Depends on how you gauge superiority. I had a lot more fun with Shuffle!
Anyway, I’m sure the Key crowd thinks that KimiNozo is a crappy game too.

Huh? Without the accident KimiNozo is just random anime that sucks, way to go Age-soft. And I consider it one of best shows ever made, with the accident.

Haesslich: I didn’t think so, since it didn’t really become obvious till after Primula’s story. Not to mention that the producers also didn’t blatantly announced that the Asa ending was set in the very first episode or in the title. :p
omo: I wonder, I wonder? ;)

Lim: What part of ‘halfway through’ was unclear? Even before the Primula story came to the fore, those KKK-wannabes had given up chasing them because he wasn’t going for the obvious goddess or demon route, by choosing apparently pursuing Asa.
As far as this goes… well, as Anga noted, it was the fact there was an accident, and a serious one, which differentiated KimiNo from its competitors; a life-changing event happened, and wasn’t softened up. Without it, it’s just your typical harem anime, without anything to really differentiate it, since the character development which cased Haruka and Akane such angst wouldn’t have come through without the accident to change everyone’s lives.

well maybe she was able to avoid the van…
and then….. hopefully we’ll get a train station accident just like gantz or even a truck
