I hold this franchise very close to my heart!

I'm really happy and excited! They are going to adapt the whole manga into an anime this time! I wonder what studio is going to animate it and cannot wait for new merchandise to come out!

 

That's cause it is, there's something on the cover that indicates that it's basically gonna be like Brotherhood, where it remakes the series and adapts it in its entirety

 

It's always been a very popular shoujo manga and perhaps this is what fans wanted. Also it being 20 years since it was first serialised MIGHT just help a little bit.

In terms of studio, probably gonna be DEEN again.

 

NO$TALGIA BABY~ when it comes to a reboot, its either we want it or we never asked for it but we are getting it anyway.

Studio DEEN has a snowball's chance in hell on getting to work on the reboot!

Natsuki Tayaka will be picking a different studio according the articles in my first post.

 

Huh, I should finish rewatching this...
Wonder if Hocchan will voice Tohru again? (I'm always down for more Hocchan)

 

Well here's your first key visual guys.



Colouring and shading makes me think TROYCA is doing it.

Oh Hocchan will definitely come back, the entire cast will return.

 

Director: Yoshihide Ibata
Series Comp: Taku Kishimoto
Chara Design: Yuu Shindou
Studio: TMS Entertainment

Tooru Honda (CV: Manaka Iwami)
Yuki Souma (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki)
Kyou Souma (CV: Yuuma Uchida)
Shigure Sohma (CV: Yuichi Nakamura)

Entirely new staff and cast

 

Go as hard as you want with the reboot. The only thing is you can only be critical of how far the first adaptation went.

 

OMG HE VOICED TATSUMI IN ORENCHI NO FURO JIJOU AND YUTA IN KIZNAIVER AAAAAAAAAA

 

By the way the reason for the new staff and cast is because Takaya was very unhappy with the previous adaptation and she personally requested a whole new staff and cast. However for you dub lovers, no you are definitely not gonna get Laura Bailey back, you'll get Alexis Tipton as her replacement.

 

I wonder if Chris Sabat(Ayame), John Burgmeier(Shigure) and Kent Williams(Hatori) will be reprising their roles or will they just recast everyone?

I'm also curious who will voice Rin/Kureno in the english dub?

 

AWESOME, I have wtached this anime so many times now, its one of the best

 

Those are FUNi regulars right? If so it should be easier to get them back to reprise their roles. The problem with Laura Bailey is that she's far too big now for anime, however I think I remember her coming back for Maka in Soul Eater Not! so we'll wait and see. But it honestly depends if: A) FUNi actually try to get her back and B) Is Laura Bailey even emotionally interested in Tohru.

 

Just looked at what she's voicing to see what you mean and damn, I didn't realise she was Jaina!!

 

Well it depends if Laura Bailey is down for it. Troy Baker is the same and he expressed his disappointment over not being called to reprise Yuri in the Tales of Vesperia dub

 

I know this clip is only a few seconds, but I'm not liking Tohru's voice. Plus that CGI stream and the sun glare does not sit right with me. I hope this anime does not focus too much on being sad and is able to balance itself with humor. Other than that elitist crap, I'm hyped!
