NEWS: Knight's & Magic Light Novel Series Gets TV Anime

Oh, yet another LN adaptation about an Otaku being transported to another world and getting buried in b*tches?.

Am been watching anime for many years so i remember the time when anime was allot more experimental and creative than now. Stories that blow your mind like Grave of the Fireflies or Akira. The 80's have many anime like that. If you have the possibility, watch them and i believe you will like them.
The problem was anime like that don't make enough profit so many studios close down during that time.

I believe anime to be a medium that can excel in various forms of creative storytelling, not a tool used to cater to the masses strictly for profit. I know anime creators are more capable than this, but they keep wasting their potential on these soulless projects.

Like Vaisaga said the authors of this stories put their heart and soul in writing them so calling them soulless if a bit too much. And they are also part of the creation of this animes.
And they create them because is what they love and also is what many people want to watch.

Making original anime and take a chance cost money, and for studios money come with been evolved in Production Committees of LN/Manga based projects. They have to gain enough money from this projects before making original anime. Don't forget that most of the investment comes from big LN/manga publishers so most of the profit are for the big LN/manga publishers and not for the studios.

So if there are enough money from this LN/manga projects some studios can present you with some original unforgettable great anime.

Not quite. The MC is something that can only can called "mecha-sexual". Unless you are a 20 foot humanoid robot he can get inside and pilot, he is not interested. Yes, bitches are throwing themselves at him, but none of them stick. It's either mecha, or bust.

I think you're looking through very rose tinted glasses at the 80's. There was plenty of crap produced then. The difference is now with the advent of commercial simulcasts rather than relying fansub releases we get the opportunity to watch pretty much everything that comes our of Japan as it happens.

I'm not a huge fan of most LN adaptions but there are plenty of gems among the poop.

That said, I'm not expecting a lot from this. At first glance at the artwork I was hoping that the MC was genderbent which would be interesting, but he's just feminine

So mecha battle action into another world... It was about time to see it all mixed up, there's only left the magic school and we're ready to go

I don't think they've combined all the anime cliches with "transported to an alternate world"...yet. Have there been any magical girl ones? What about sports? There are still ideas left to plunder!

welll it doesnt matter what studio gets it. what is a lot of people expecting now and for good reason, is that another anime series that is based off of a LN is gonna bomb. HARD!

It does matter what studio gets it, how many episodes it will be, how many LNs they're planning on covering, what the budget for the series is, etc. There are plenty of really well done and successful LN anime like Re: Zero. Even if the LN isn't super amazing, a solid effort can produce something still fun to watch. Or if the LN is actually really good and not some generic school setting stuff, a rushed and cheap production is still going to be sub par.

all the latest anime that are based off of LN (Absolute Duo,World Break,Sky Wizards Academy) have been subpar as you say which is why you cant blame some people for being concerned that this series is another LN adaptation.
