Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I read very few manga but this is one of the ones I've read and I've been waiting for it to get an anime. This will be awesome. Can't wait to see Yasuna trolling Sonya (and getting pummeled in response) in motion.

[Suwako Moriya]

YES! I was hoping this would happen! I love the manga based on what I've read of it so far. Two volumes to be exact. Plus, I've been positive towards KR 4-Koma manga that I've tried in general.

Please let this trend continue. K-ON! was awesome. Geijutsuka was great. A-Channel was quite fun. I have definite confidence in Kill Me Baby being good as well

I want "With Liz", "Ura Ban!", "Rakka Ryuusui", etc. to follow in the foot steps of this trend.

[strangefour]

And the winner of most insane anime title of 2012 is...

Actually from what little I've read of it, this should make for a fun show.

I want "With Liz", "Ura Ban!", "Rakka Ryuusui", etc. to follow in the foot steps of this trend.

But only after we get "Wife & Wife"!

[TheGreenMan]

Hmmm....looks like Lucky Star meets FMP!

But in this case, the deadly trained assassin is the sane one.

Oh, yeah, I was actually reading that (until I caught up, and "catching up" is almost synonymous with "dropping" for me and manga), and loved it. I wonder where I stopped...

[HitokiriShadow]

Oh, yeah, I remember hearing about this awhile back. The premise sounded hilarious. I'm very happy to see this getting an anime.

[superdry]

Awesome. I've seen the covers of the manga and figured it would be pretty good or funny. Too bad kinokuniya shrinkwraps manga so I couldn't flip through it so i didn't want to blind buy it, yet.

Maybe now I should pick up the manga after learning a little more about it.

Both of those are fine choices, but I was mainly focusing on 4-Koma manga that were published by the same company that publishes "Kill Me Baby".

Although it does remind that I should catch up on some manga later. Watch me forget to do just that.

Also, this is not to say I don't want none 4-Koma stuff. I mean it would be nice to get an anime version of Tena on S-String for example.

Just that I'm hoping a trend is starting because there are some series I'd like to see animated. Oh, wait another one comes to mind. Ichiroh! It's an already finished series, so they have the entire story from start to finish to work with.

You don't get very much animation, but there's a smidge of it, and you can see it here (http://0taku.livedoor.biz/archives/3897495.html). Art style is really simple, but so is the manga.

Nice. I've been reading the manga and it's pretty cute.

[Damius]

This sure is some fantastic news!

A simple art style is not only fitting, it can sometimes be comforting. In any case, I like the look of this/ The long wait for the show continues. Then again even five minutes before episode 1 would be a long wait in my view.

Airing in Winter. Studio is JC Staff.

Winter is looking pretty fantastic.

So I already have at least one show worth watching this Winter. Or at least trying. Back to the long term waiting game to finally hear Sonya and crew speak.

Winter already has three nearly guaranteed purchases from me (Nisemonogatari, Natsume Shi, Black Rock Shooter) before most of the lineup has even been announced... curse you, Japan.

If played right this could totally end up being an import... I already know I like the comedy from what I read of the manga, although a huge part of what makes a 4koma adaptation great is how the anime fills in the space between the panels, so to speak. K-ON! being the best example of how wonderfully fleshed out something can get.

Yasuna: Akasaki Chinatsu (basically nothing)
Sonya: Tamura Mutsumi (AnoHana's Jinta, some kid anime leads and minor characters)
Agiri: Takabe Ai (Aoi Hana's Fumi)

Sonya's is the only remotely experienced seiyuu, and her one lead male role was in a blockbuster show.

[EmperorBrandon]

Sonya's is the only remotely experienced seiyuu, and her two lead male roles were in blockbuster shows.

I think I tend to only hear male roles from her actually (and a good look at ANN seems to show that is most of what she does). The only notable female role I've heard of Tamura Mutsumi's was Aria's maid Sayaka in Seitokai Yakuindomo, but I did remember liking her there, so nice to see she's breaking out of the young boy typecast here again (assuming this is a girl character we're talking about). In T&B, she only voiced the young Kotetsu who was in a flashback one episode.

[something]

(assuming this is a girl character we're talking about).
Yeah, Sonya is the twintailed blond assassin schoolgirl.

In T&B, she only voiced the young Kotetsu who was in a flashback one episode.
Ah okay, probably should have been obvious if I stopped to think about it.

No actual footage but just a wee bit nutty. "Wasa Wasa! Naamin? Camo Camo! Yurusai!"

I imagine that's the theme song.

This is going to be interesting. :sd:

Yeah, says it's the OP at the end.

This anime is looking more and more promising! Can't wait!!

[Suwako Moriya]

The preview was weird, but I think the main interest for me is the voices. Given what I've read of the manga, both Sonya and Yasuna's voices feel fitting if that little bit is any indication.

[TheGreenMan]

Now with actual animation, voices, and more insanity! And apparently the girls from Milky Holmes (eh?)

Sheesh that's like one of those silly MADs.

Also a JC Staff Winter 2012 show, not sure there's any meaning to it beyond that.

Perhaps the creators of the Milky Holmes franchise, Bushiroad, are on the production committee for this series. Does seem they have been involved in a few of the recent seasons' anime with Ikoku Meiro and Haganai.

Nice sounding and the direction is definitely different from the opening.

They really took a different route for the ED. Now I wanna watch what is between the OP and ED!!

Not the animated one, but Chinatsu Akasaki and Mutsumi Tamura dancing around in school girl outfits and singing the song.

Warning, loading seems to suck. It took several minutes for me.
