I still have dreams of Production IG One Piece

 

[Scruffy8642]

Timing suggests Neverland. The fact they're advertising two female VAs suggests WNL. We know nothing will get Lead CPs or Covers with this upcoming serialisation round though, and this announcement is coming before they even start, and I can't imagine TPN wouldn't get a cover for it's announcement. Nor can I imagine Jump waiting a week or two to celebrate it after the announcement. Makes me think it's probably not WSJ related. Yaiba is also a possibility I suppose, but with it's rankings, I also expect at least a lead colour.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Kimetsu is a definite no but you never know this could essentially just be an announcement for another Jump Festa OVA and not a proper series announcement but yeah the domain registry and now this points to Neverland.

 

[OtterBrigade]

Why is everyone assuming it's WSJ? Shueisha has how many magazines, web series as well as the possibility of it being a multimedia project that have nothing to do with WSJ.

 

[Ecchi Boy]

let the speculations begins, (Shueisha have such a big selection to choose from it could be anything from any of their magazines)

two female VA... hm...
then again they can just voice a male character

edit:I've checked their previous works, all female characters

Come on NEJIMAKI KAGYU I want to experience this.

Please. There's no Shueisha property running without an anime that has as much coverage as Neverland at the moment and the domain registry is far too coincidental.

So who do these two voice? Looking at their past roles neither fit Isabella. Based on current roles I can't imagine either as Norman or Ray and if one is them why only two of the three kids? Also how does that rule out a Multimedia project? TPN was just as big when FranXX was announced.

Edit: Also why would Aniplex register the domain but not seem to be involved at all in the announcement of the show?

Did Aniplex register the domain? Or was that another fake rumor like the CloverWorks one.

TPN from ufotable... I can see that working out.

I never heard any follow ups but that came from the domain register info which I'm pretty sure anyone can check so it should have been proven false pretty quickly if it was.

Because most of Shueisha's biggest series are from WSJ? I believe that everyone here knows that its not a guarantee that it's be a WSJ series. In fact, a few people already acknowledged that. People are just speculating.

We literally cannot make any conclusions until we see a trailer woth their performances and given their ages I do think both Norman and Ray will have female VAs.

Also how does that rule out a Multimedia project? TPN was just as big when FranXX was announced.

When Franxx was announced Neverland did not have four awards under its belt and wasn't selling close to 500k per volume nor did it have a twittee account.

Aniplex is just a distributor. Franxx was announced at a Trigger panel at AX.

Does the domain register info specifically say Aniplex, anywhere? Maybe someone that's more knowledgeable about this type of stuff can tell us.

It could be an adaptation for Kaguya-sama from Young Jump.

 

[MangAniMY]

Kaguya and subject F.... hm..

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Maybe Norman seiyuu is female

 

[ChocoBar9]

Maybe Norman seiyuu is female

I can't imagine Norman with anyone other than a female voice. It would sound too deep otherwise

 

[Tarot]

If this was ufotable from a few years back I would be excited but their non-Type Moon adaptations have been a mixed bag but still a very interesting choice if true. I know GOD EATER was a production diaster but Takayuki Hirao is the only director that I think could do it justice, Spirial Labyrinth is a modern animated masterpiece and its entire tone is how I'd imagine what a Neverland anime should feel like.

Hirao is no longer at ufotable. He left them after God Eater.

Aniplex is just a distributor. Franxx was announced at a Trigger panel at AX.

Aniplex isn't just the distributor. They're the main producers for the show. Check the credits

 

[De La Croissant]

Is Ufotable good?

Since issue 23 leaked earlier, I believe the wait for the issue 24 will be longer, right?

 

[ChocoBar9]

He didn't "leave ufotable" he's a freelancer and always has been before he directed the 5th KnK movie.

And? Why would you bring up something irrelevant when the conversation was about how Franxx was announced at a studio pane and not by Aniplex itself who distributes it? Like that can't apply to Neverland because its ufotable and we don't even know if its for Neverland anyways.

They're...okay. They're really at the top of their game when they're doing Type Moon properties but are a mixed bag when handling everything else. It'll be interesting if they do Neverland since they primarily specialize in action when Neverland has next to none for its first arc.

 

[Tarot]

He didn't "leave ufotable" he's a freelancer and always has been before he directed the 5th KnK movie.

He joined ufotable in its early years in 2005 after leaving Madhouse. He got his first series directorial debut there and had stayed there until God Eater incident happened. From time to time, he still worked on some Madhouse shows because of his past connections but he was definitely not a freelancer.
