There is no studio announcement for TPN... We do not know who is producing Kaguya.

Edit: We don't know anything about TPN's staff.
really? I thought Cloverworks was confirmed after all. Kaguya is listed on Aniplex's website, second thing currently http://www.aniplex.co.jp/lineup/anime/

Edit: actually now thinking about it why did TPN get so little? I guess it got the voice actors while the other two didn't although did those actually get confirmed or still just people's guesses?

Yuuna isn't fun to read lately. It's like 20~30 chapters since the last plot chapter. Also, Kogarashi's power is getting stale and kinda boring.
^^
The filler isn't even fun. For some reason a character was introduced a while back that seemed important to the plot, only to leave in the very next chapter and not be mentioned again.
It wasn't really like this before. It felt like Miura had something planned and then....nothing. Still wonder if this was something to do with the editor change or not.

Cool, I didn't know about Kaguya, thanks for that.

As for Neverland, no, we don't actually have any information about the staff or the studio, nothing has been confirmed. We did have the staff rumor, but that ended up being untrustworthy and basically it was proven to be false because two of the speculated staff members denied their rumored roles on TPN's anime.

We do know that Neverland is airing on Noitamina's block, in January, 2019. That's all we know. We do typically see one show from A-1 Pictures on Noitamina on a yearly basis, but we can't really know if it will be TPN or something else. We'll just have to wait for some sort of a confirmation. An animated PV or a visual that's in color can give us some clues, but we don't have any of that.

Edit: We also have the basic character designs.

Oh I guess we did get release date info for TPN but not the other two. It's interesting how 3 adaptations all announced around the same time with the same 2 companies involved all got completely different levels of materials announced.

I don't expect either Yuuna or Zumo to be well animated they feel like pure advertisements to go buy the manga than anything else. Not surprised that more hype has been pushed towards the upcoming anime adaptations of Neverland and Kimetsu than to either of them.
This is my gut feeling as well and if it turns true, its horrible foresight on the part of the producers. Yuuna has big merchandise potential and Sumo can be a catalyst for a small "sumo revival" among younger people in the mainstream. Just because young people might not like sumo doesn't mean you can't make them see the awesomeness in it and get them interested. Sumo Part 1, I feel, has the power to get them excited. Most people in the west who read it don't know a thing about sumo and like it anyway.

Yuuna's biggest hurdle will be overcoming the feeling of being "just another ecchi harem romcom". That's the feeling I get from the character designs of the anime.

The voice actors haven't been confirmed either. It is slightly odd how tight-lipped they are about the TPN anime... With anime announcements for WSJ, it just seems like they release random amounts of information. Some people were saying that they didn't reveal much so more discussion would be generated.

Oh I guess we did get release date info for TPN but not the other two. It's interesting how 3 adaptations all announced around the same time with the same 2 companies involved all got completely different levels of materials announced.
For TPN maybe they're trying to keep it mysterious because of the nature of the series? With Kimetsu they clearly wanted to highlight the fact that ufotable was in charge of the anime and it generated a lot of hype. For Kaguya we literally don't know anything, all we have is that visual from the website and the producer.

I'm also very pessimistic about the anime adaptations for Yuuna and Zumo.

I disagree, for me it's been very fun.

You guys think Kimetsu it'll be 1 cour or 2 cour?

I think it will have two cours. Looking at ufotable's preferences, chances are it will be in a split cour format, but that doesn't mean this can't be their first continuous two cour anime. Aniplex is producing, we only had the anime announcement at over 110 chapters, I'm inclined to believe that we should be seeing two cours instead of one.

That's the more logical answer but I feel like we'll get 1 cour for some reason. :(

Neverland's staff will probably be revealed in Noitamina once the currently airing show ends. Noitamina plays by their own rules.

It literally can't. Ufotable doesn't have the staff to produce a continuous two cour anime, much less with the third HF movie next year. It's likely going to be split-cour like Fate Zero, UBW, Zestiria and Tokuen Ranbu.

I dont think Zumo needs "well animation" they just stand in a ring. See something like Ballroom anime, where they basically just stand and do a circle in place. Nothing was that fancy or remarkable and people loved it.
What? "Welcome to the Ballroom" anime was criticized and hated into the ground, and a big part was especially the poor movement animations and that the dance sequences look way better in the manga. Nobody loved that anime afaik.

Act-Age doesn't deserve to be canned.

This was a pretty "nothing happens at all" chapter for Neverland; either way, even if it's an artificial fake ranking the editor felt that Act-Age deserved to be high. I think it's a good sign.

I'm so happy Act-age is rising in the rankings.

I'm curious but was it given the same level of exposure as Ziga or Noah Notes when it started?
