I just think that after hearing Yuu's voice in that PV 2 years ago I have never wanted someone to be given animated life more.

OK, I finally watched that, and you're totally right about Yuu's voicing--both of them, actually. I still don't long for an anime, but would gratefully accept one if it comes along.

I will only believe an anime announcement when I see one. As for Touko's voice, I found it pretty nice but the way her voice fades into whispering is still something I haven't managed to understand whether I like or not. What do you think?

That’s a very good question. I must admit that I was listening for the tone and depth of her voice, and didn’t notice that quirk of enunciation until I listened again. I certainly don’t know enough (like, anything) to tell if that signifies anything in spoken Japanese (i.e., if it’s supposed to be characterization or just the voice actress’s typical diction—someone here can enlighten us, I hope).

Voicing a character like Touko must be at least a bit complex—she’s supposed to be authoritative and the center of attention when she’s around, but also demure and speaking genteelly (as opposed to literally “soft-spoken”).

Tl;dr: I’m not really sure.

It's in alphabetical order. They'll reveal the ranking in the event. So far we only know this is the top 10.

NoWaYu too!!! but anyway I'm glad this actually IS HAPPENING
I guess we can't hate kadokawa for too long (remember Tanoshi? me neither)

"私もやが君アニメ化してほしい" from Nakatani's twitter. Basically, she also wants an anime.

Welp need start pushing for ti like the Citrus author did. Though with the right studio of course.

Psyren is a HUGE blast from the past. Glad to see that and YKnN on there.

4 - Kyuugetsuki Sugu Shinu

…Wut? Was this thing that popular? >.>

But anyway, does this poll have any effect on what might actually happen? Cause damn, a YagaKimi anime is something I can get behind.

Passione did a pretty good job on Citrus honestly (save for a couple of scenes in the early episodes). But since Wit studio has been polishing their romance chops this season with Magus' Bride and After the Rain, they might be a good option. Or KyoAni, as someone else mentionned here.

(by the way, I'm a bit amused that 2 or the 3 top spots are taken by a yaoi and a yuri series. XD)

The power of anonymity shows humanity's true colors!

Tbh, Passione's adaptation of Citrus was pretty bad. Not even talking about the writing, just the visuals alone. The background designs were horrendous and characters and objects didn't even look like they belonged on there, just really bad compositing. Characters were off model quite often, too. It was good for laughs, but I wouldn't want YagaKimi to get the same production quality.

KyoAni's a safe bet and I really hope for them, but it's so unlikely that I wouldn't count on it happening too much. A seasoned and decent studio with a good director who can capture the visual storytelling in the manga would probably make for a decent adaptation. Wit & J.C.Staff are cool.

Well, the yaoi title being no.1 over Fate was a bit surprising at first, but if you consider fujo power, it's not that surprising lol YagaKimi being no.3 over titles like Promised Neverland, however, is really surprising. But who am I to question if it means that Kadokawa might hasten the announcement and put that domain into good use sooner or later.

I would be extremely apprehensive if we ended up getting an adaptation with the same studio as Citrus. Do the people who watched Citrus not have functioning eyes? Not even the OP managed to have decently, DECENTLY, animated kisses, one of the elements that is supposed to be portrayed as intense. OST? Forgettable. ED? Ah yes, the good old plain song slapped with a few slideshows, good job. Do we also have to go on about how Mei looked off in more than half of the frames the was in? This is not even subjective. Having enjoyed it is one thing, pretending sloppy looking visuals are nice is an entirely different level of lying to oneself. Anything but DEEN and Passione, thanks.

The kisses weren't unusually bad, they were just... normal low budget anime kisses. For a manga with intense kissing scenes that could be even better animated, it was very disappointing and a sad missed opportunity. It's like a shonen anime adaptation with brief, choppy fighting scenes.

Wit & J.C.Staff are cool.

Eeh, JC left a bad taste in my mouth with their sloppy adaptation of Children of the Whale. =x Though I'm not too familiar with their usual fare.

And no, Citrus didn't look that awful, come on. Low budget yes, but for a new studio with supposedly limited ressources, the quality is fine. Not great, but fine. The NTR anime is what I call godawful, as it's clear absolutely no effort was put into it.

Also, yes, no DEEN. Please.

At least NTR was funny. And I didn't see any effort put into Citrus either, only the seiyuu were on point. I would never be able to conform to mediocrity after seeing it in Citrus, so to reiterate, Passione is better off far away from this.

People keep gushing over having KyoAni as the studio they want to adapt their series. Thing is while they have good detailed artwork they also significantly rewrite source material for their adaptations plus have a strong aversion to showing kissing in their anime what is a big part of this series. Do people really want to see Yagate completely rewritten and all the kissing scenes eliminated in a anime adaption of the series?

I think J.C.Staff would be best as long as they give it their A game kind of like how they did on Flying Witch and Toradora. Maybe Bones who did akagami no shirayuki or possibly Wit from recent showings. I think thee was one other studio that might be good but the name escapes me.

Production I.G could be another one.

They adapted Maid Dragon & there weren't that much rewriting. Mostly added details to make even more memorable moments, like when Kobayashi gave Tooru the scarf. The kissing part is a bit worrisome though, I agree. But the reason I want KyoAni is because I don't see any other studio who is as good with subtle visual storytelling as them. YagaKimi fits their style perfectly if they are to faithfully adapt it.

Children of the Whale looks beautiful, at least. The writing is bad. Not sure if that's the source's or the anime's fault. But that show didn't leave as bad of an impression on me as much as Kino 2017 got me wary of Lerche (despite the fact that their shows tend to look pretty neat for the most part) lol

It looks ok for a low-budget studio, but it's still really bad for normal standard. Only a couple of notch better than NTR. I don't want the bar to be set so low for this series or any decent yuri that might get an adaptation in the future.

I do agree that for a series that lives and dies with visual storytelling like YagaKimi, you can't settle on a mediocre studio. Who knows what Passione might in the future though, maybe they'll get better with experience. Anyway, if KyoAni decides to adapt a Yuri work, I highly doubt they're gonna remove the kisses when they're an entire part of the story. It would be like making Yuzu and Mei a platonic couple. >.>

Some of the issues came from the source, some came from not adapting enough − Chakuro's narration for example, works and is even fitting in the manga but gets grating very quickly in anime. And then in the last few episodes they awkwardly rearranged events and basically skipped an entire arc just so they could end the season at a certain point. Add to that a rather bland direction (save for maybe episode 10) and the show didn't get me nearly as invested as the manga did, even though it was mostly "faithful". Even visually it was rather hit and miss.

And I hope Lerche doesn't botch the adaptation of Radiant. Japan adapting a French comic is too rare an occasion. =[

I enjoyed the anime adaptation of Maid Dragon for the most part, but I think the more worrisome part were all the new Lucoa x ... little-boy-whose-name-I-forgot scenes... those were bad enough in the original manga, and then the anime just added more! Imagine if KyoAni adapts YagaKimi and adds additional scenes focusing on Maki, that dude with glasses, and Yuu's friend who was in love with that basketball dude... To be fair, they did add new scenes focusing on the... oh my God, I can't believe I forgot their names. Saikawa? and that dragon girl...? I suppose that'd be like adding new scenes with the adult couple, and I'd admit that'd be pretty nice.

Screaming now.

To tell the truth, I have always wanted some payoff for that "Maki knows" business--it's one of the very few (maybe only) dropped or abandoned stitches in an otherwise very carefully plotted and structured story--but Glasses-kun and Akari can get on a bus and take a nice, long trip together as far as I'm concerned. Today. Or preferably yesterday.

Maid dragon was a unusual case. It was apparently picked up in the first place because one the higher ups was a fan of the series. So it didn't get the normal treatment other series by them get and got left mostly intact. On the other hand one their series had a whole relationship removed and one the main characters of it basically regulated to a side/back ground character. Another series was totally changed with new characters added and if I remember kissing between the MCs who are in a relationship removed. Another one also had the kissing and basically all physical contact between the MCs removed.

Oh and Evergarden like the whole first half of the anime series was original content.

JC Staff can really vary on their work. Some times it is low tier junk other times you can truly see they put their passion into it like they did with Flying Witch.

They could go the Class S route lol & I would hate them forever, of course.

That's a problem with a lot of anime adaptations, especially nowadays when everything is restricted to a single cour, sadly.

They don't do outside work adaptation nowadays, just in-house with their LNs, so if they do adapt YagaKimi, it might be the same case with Maid Dragon that one of the higher ups just happens to love it. To their credits, they did add the DekoTani ship in the Chuu2 anime & even had the 2 kiss on screen, so idk. It's unlikely that they'll adapt YagaKimi though.

Shouta, Saikawa, & Kana, respectively. I can't believe you forgot the name of the good girl Kana. This is a crime punishable by death.
