ITS OVER, WE WON!!! I never stopped believing for a moment. I've spent two years telling people don't be surprised when it gets to this point. But plenty kept saying it wasn't going to happen or the series was never going to amount to much.

Now its time for a lot of people to start eating their crow!

Gainax is the studio behind Evangelion, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, FLCL... Basically, some of the most popular and arguably influential anime. You might recognize some of their other stuff, here's their wiki

I might be wrong on this (please correct me if I am, someone!), but this is probably their first WSJ adaptation, so Medaka being the one is pretty big imo

 

[Googlez_kun]

Oh,they really did produce some great anime.I guess i understand the surprised posts now,thanks salad!

I should catch up with Medaka again,it seems to get quite a lot of respect.

it probably is. it actually may be the first anime gainax has adapted from a manga not sure though.

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Nah not quite, they've had a few manga adaptations before now.

This is their first Jump show though.

i figured it was their first jump series but thanks for correcting me with the first manga adaption . i am trying to think of a suitable director i was thinknig imagashi (gurren lagann obviously) but i dont see him doing it sadly.

 

[Divinenega]

Excuse me for a moment...SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gainax doing Medaka Box? It certainly fits their style of storytelling so I can be confident that they;ll treat the genre shift right. Gonna be a long wait till; spring.

I wonder if this means Ishin plans to have the manga finished by Spring of next year? Each of the arcs has been around year now that I think about it...

I recall people thought Bakuman would end around the time its anime was to air, but it is still going with a 2nd season of its anime on the way

 

[saladesu]

With the rate Bakuman is being adapted into anime, it'll take like three seasons just to cover the current content, never mind until wherever it actually ends Anyway, I don't think a series getting an anime is a very good gauge of whether it is ending soon or not, it seems to differ for each and every series (though I don't actually read Medaka so maybe there have already been hints of a move towards an ending that I wouldn't be aware of).

well it's certainly going near it's end, I can't imagine more than one arc after the current one. Looking at the current villain, who has

Spoiler

a quadrillion special abilities

there's not much space left for more ridiculousness/craziness

great to hear that GAINAX is doing Medaka, I'm really looking forward to it!

Yo ChocoBar9 where you at now?

While this arc may seem to be the last it also just started, Kumagawa's arc went for nearly a year, this could be just as long.

And yes it makes no sense that this means the manga is near, for one it won't even get anywhere near the end of the current arc, we'll be lucky to even see Misogi... I've always felt that an anime announcement would occur not to long after Kumagawa arc was finished....

Little info about Jump #26
Official Release Date: Monday, 6th June

Naruto (Cover & Lead Color Page)
Gintama (Color Page)
KochiKame (Color Page)
Toriko (Start of a new saga)
Sket Dance (Valentine's Day)
One Piece (End of FI flashback)

 

[Divinenega]

So assuming the Medaka thing is legit(which I will assume because it makes at least some degree of sense and does seem like a Gainax anime) how early would we expect JUMP to announce it. Maybe give Medaka a color page next week?

I don't see why it can't be on the next chapter, I mean it is chapter 100.

True. I;m just used to seeing color pages with anime announcements. Of course it could always get one afterwards...

Looking forward to more info though. I wonder if they;ll use Medaka's seiyuu from the vomic?

 

[Shinsatsu]

But too many series appear to be ending soon and they end up adding content after the end of the supposedly last arc.
I really thought that Bleach is going to end when the previous arc was finished.
