Some news for the new MAO anime is coming in about an hour and a half. You excited? Not heard of MAO? It is Rumiko Takahashi's latest manga.

Haven't read or watched anything from her since one and a half decade.
Didn't even watch the remakes of her works.

I hope they don't go too dreary with the color scheme. I was some really vibrant stuff.

I'm guessing that leak is from the next issue of weekly shonen sunday?

>>286445219
Did you enjoy Mermaid Saga and Inuyasha? This is closest to those although it's less action and more horror/mystery.
>>
>>286445227
bro really talked about the color scheme and then posted the grayscaled version of a color page...
>>
>>286445201
but WTF does MAO stand for?
>>
>>286445669
the character's name is mao
written 摩緒
it's also a reference to the chinese word for "cat" which is māo

>>286445669
Mao Gui are demon cats from Chinese folklore, one of which is a vital character in Mao.

Wasn't there an anime voice actress named MAO?
>>
>>286445752
Yes, usually written as M・A・O.
>>
>>286445752
there is, but there's only been 4 voice actors announced so far
some people suspect/hope that otoya will be voiced by her though
>>
>>286445739
baffling how they dropped this in july and then said nothing for 7 months

It's gotta be the last.

>>286445820
I'm the janitor at Rumiko Takahashi's apartment building. She's going to finish Mermaid Saga after Mao ends. One last job, just like old times.
>>
>>286445818
it was announced 2 weeks ago that the opening will be "heartland" by Kis-My-Ft2
there's been no preview of it though, maybe we'll get that in the livestream

Trailer only showed scenes from as far as volume 5, from what I could tell
Looks like they're using a papery texture for the Heian era flashbacks
Byouki's eyes are really green
Some interesting effects with Nanoka in the time portal or Mao summoning the spirit
Overall, the color schemes on the one hand seem fairly varied and vibrant, but they also seem pretty heavy-handed with the color filters which mutes things down a little
Both songs are alright, I suppose
Some of the action scenes seem pretty nicely animated
I HATE CGI CARS AND TRAINS
In conclusion, Nanoka a cute

Incredible
>>
hiss
>>
>>286447821
now that I've rewatched it, there's a quick glimpse of the master
>>
I feel like they made Otoya a little more cute-looking than he is in the manga
>>
The anime seems to be injecting some Inuyasha into the expressions
>>
Genbu in the house

>>286447799
>scenes from as far as volume 5, from what I could tell
I think they usually show another trailer with more content mid-way through
>>
>>286447799
hit post too soon lol

but rickshaw guy will be spared, r- right?

Shiranui's looking as fruity as ever

Very nice trailer, I have high hopes now.

I don't remember him having eyeliner...
>>
>>286448106
*eyeshadow
I meant eyeshadow gomen it's late/early

>>286448119
It's not so noticeable in the manga, but he's always had it

>>286446748
Silly looking fella.

>>286447574
Airing on the Saturday midnight slot on NHK G, it seems
I don't know much about NHK's anime offerings, so what does this say about how gory the show will be?
>>
Okay, the opening is ridiculous. But it looks very pretty right now.
>>
>>286445201
She is a Legendary mangaka for a reason!!! I hope she can stick the Landing. Fujita must be having a laugh, knowing that she and Mitsuru Adachi get all the good adaptations.
>>
>>286448616
>what does this say about how gory the show will be?
The trailer looks gory enough

>mangaka with seven anime adaptations, a sequel and two remakes

Aaaah Moonlight chapters translations when!? 2 months later and still nothing

>>286449340
I just don't know how you do the blood attacks if most shows seem to make blood pink or black. Or cut it entirely. Especially stuff like the big blood bubble or whip.
>>
>>286448616
It's going to replace Fumetsu starting next month
>>
>>286449340
I'm just curious about stuff in the manga like people having their hearts pushed out through their mouths or getting their faces ripped off their skulls
>>
>>286445201
/a/ is dead
>>
>>286447381
There are still a few major characters who need VAs so they might be announced there
>>
>>286451208
I haven't read the manga but I'll be checking out the anime. Looks well-produced enough.
>>
You now remember Shiraha-kun. The anime staff certainly doesn't.
>>
>>286451619
Yeah, prob good not to focus on 'im.
>>
>>286451619
I believe timeline-kun's chart in the storytime threads says he was last seen in volume 6
>>
>>286454149
He'll return to reveal he's the secret descendant of the Master and the true heir to the spell of life extension.
>>
>>286445201
Cool
