I'm wondering who the target audience is, though, since the last novel was published almost a decade ago.
Uh, Boogiepop Anthithesis came out 2 years ago, my dude (It's pretty good. And creepy as hell). Or did you mean a translated novel?

the novels are still going, and also the novels started 20 years ago. this and the manga are a big 20th anniversary sales push. they'll probably reprint all the older novels too.

I think she's a fantastic voice actress and with her fairly good range, I know that she'll keep on providing us with a ton of rad performances. I just hope that it's not like 2010-2013 where things felt very homogenized as far as lead VA's go.

I really like everything she's done.

Seeing her at the Nier Automata dinner show was amazing.

Hearing her Adam imitation was fun enough, but her extensive list of questions was even better.

Aoi Yuuki is probably one of the most talented VAs in that industry. Also Kana Hanazawa's been knocking it out of the park in the Antactica show.

The results in google stopped at Pyramid (2008), and were organized in such a way that it looked like if there had been any others they would have been included.

outside of a great op i wasn't too into boogiepop phantom, with it being a rather low budget fanfiction production that couldn't really compete with all the other 00 series that did the same thing (a lot of them sharing the same staff and kaori shimizu being one of the main leads in almost every one of them didn't help either), but if the new one is actually adapting the novels it'll probably be better. besides, that style of anime being dead for a decade will help a lot

to be fair to boogiepop phantom i think it was the first one of those? of the like boogiepop/haibane/kino/are we counting wolf's rain/etc lot it came out like 2-3 years before those.

yeah, it and especially the ln was one of the first (and one of the first lns in general iirc). anime wise lain beat it to the punch though. and i wasn't even thinking of most you named lol, thinking more alien 9, ghost hound and the such. it was a big genre once...

perhaps im just a bit unfair to it, seeing as i watched a lot of the others before it

that's an interesting point, it feels like there used to be a higher proportion of those kinds of broodier, sedate shows filled with psychological angst. they don't seem as common these days

the last recent one like that was houseki no kuni. studio ig doesnt get as much work as it used to

Boogiepop has the feel of a different time. The original (Boogiepop and Others / Boogiepop doesn't laugh) came out... what, like 20 years ago?

Jesus Rude Boy Christ, it did. It's a little shy of 20 years and a month. It was one of the first novels I attempted to read(poorly, with tons of struggles, and coming close to actually giving up on learning Japanese) in its original language back when I started formally learning Japanese back in 2002. My Japanese teacher sold it to me for like $200 pesos (around 21 dollars back then)

I'm so loving old. :negative:

Also, just watched the newest Dagashi Kashi and I cannot stop chuckling at the word "Internets!". I'm old and easily amused.

Well, we have the dumb City Kid covered with the Manager of the store (Yutaka Beni? Beni Yutaka?), who's also voiced by Sugita. And for real, Hajime herself is better than Hotaru in basically every front. In 3 (technically 4 I guess?) episodes she basically made the show a ton better.

I'm not complaining. :allears:

Also, what happened to your Kei AV, GG? :(

How common are crossovers in anime*? I can't really think of any off the top of my head.

*Not counting video games.

There's those tv specials that cross over One Piece with everything (okay just Dragonball and Toriko).
