It's an absolute long shot, but I hope they can include cameos of Favaro and Kaisar on this. It's not Shingeki no Bahamut without them!

We go from bickering bounty hunters fighting demons and monsters to cute girls and their friendships?

So it's finally ready? I wonder if the game's fanbase is still strong.

Almost all things RoB related have migrated to either Shadowverse or Granblue Fantasy, so the fanbase is still strong. GBF for instance had an event dedicated to the MC's of this new adaptation and is quite good. So yeah, fanbase for the game is pretty much dead, but the fanbase for the characters is still going strong.

Ohhh, they're shorts?! I hope they're half an episode length and not like 5-minute shorts.

At least there will be some familiarity with the Manaria Friends characters since they did appear in a Granblue Fantasy event.

iirc it was originally announced as a short, though I dont know if theyve changed their production plans after 2 years so it may or may not still be around 10min episodes.

Also super happy about this news. YAY!
I've eagerly hoped and waited for 3 years for this to be revived, and now it has. January here I come.

This is one of the few times I hope Funi doesn't get the rights to the show. I found the Rage of Bahamut dub rather lackluster compared to the Granblue Fantasy dub, and those actors reprised their roles in Shadowverse. I'd like to see the same with the Shadowverse VAs here.

It was officialy announced about 3 years ago to be 8 min per eps, then potentially dead, now there is no longer confirmation about the duration per eps since then ( or maybe i missed it on their site ). Waiting for the confirmation about the duration but sill i'm glad to see it finally updated and alive.

No investment in RoB, but I was idly wondering whatever happened to this series, thanks to a couple recent GBF events. I guess that was their intent all along.

Good to see Manaria Friends survive a delay that lasted more than 2 years. Also I am curious to see how CygamesPictures does with their first production.

Oh, I remember reading about this. Glad to see it make a comeback, even if it’s shorts, but I’ll take what I can get at this point with this series. Yoko Hikasa as the main character will always have my interest, so looking forward to seeing this in January.
