staff announced for the Bloom into You anime. Directed by Makoto Kato (Beautiful Bones, several episodes of re;creators and aldnoah zero), written by Jukki Hanada (Love Live, A Place Further than the Universe, Sound Euphonium), character designs by Hiroaki Gohda (Amagami SS, Love, Elections, and Chocolate)

Not that familiar with Kato and Gohda but Hanada is a great choice.

I'm a little surprised it's coming in October - feel like these announcements usually come further in advance. Still, cautiously optimistic about the staff. Re:Creators wasn't a good show, but I liked how it looked at least, so if Bloom looks that nice and Hanada can do their usual caliber of work adapting the script then I'll be thrilled.

Doesn't seem like Mahou Shojo Site has a thread yet, but I like it.

-The main character has agency and provides useful input to the team.
-The MC is possibly a high functioning psychopath!
-Delightful crazy faces.
-Revenge porn.

Chances are, if you make a thread you'll get more discussion of the show going, and it'll let you talk about what you like about the show with other people who are also watching along.

Yep, the FMP dub is getting the entire original cast back. Well, except for Kalinin’s VA, who’s dead. That might be a little tricky.

You don't like a main character that is helpful instead of being a wet blanket doormat?

I mean yes it's a very edgy series and fills a niche for the Dark Magical Girl genre, I imagine people would like it for the same reasons they'd like Rorshach as a character in Watchmen or The Punisher. However I am exaggerating my takeaway, so don't let my feelings cloud your own judgement if you give it the 3-ep test.

I just feel like there's enough textual evidence to support an applicable interpretation that the currently nice and angelic main character might be harbouring some darker emotions under the surface; I am only really basing this on a certain idea I've read somewhere that (a) victims of domestic abuse usually develop anti-social personality disorders (b) assuming (a) then she's seems suspiciously adaptable to her present circumstances and eerily helpful and assertive in the 'planning' of things. But there's nothing obviously I'm not basing it on very much substance as of yet.

I saw the screenshots where the bullies literally stuffed the MC's shoe too full of razors and poo poo for anyone to actually try and put them on and that poo poo is more like parody than actual believable darkness.

I read on the ANN forums that they confirmed Mardukas’s voice actor is changing as well. The VA for him is still around, but I assume has pretty much retired considering his credits have him doing almost nothing as of late.

if you think the author of mahou shoujo site did any research at all on how victims of domestic abuse behave youre giving him way too much credit

the entire thing just felt extremely insulting. bullying is super bad in japan and dumb exploitation revenge fantasy stuff is like, the opposite of how i want the issue to be handled.

it isnt even well done revenge fantasy at least not from what i saw of the first ep because half the people who were loving with her dont get any comeuppance and the other half just get their comeuppance in a way thats super distanced from her. theres no catharsis in the guy who spent seven minutes going on about how, specifically, he was going to rape her getting teleported to the Train Dimension and ran over by a train, it's too removed from A) what he was doing to deserve that and B) the victim of his crimes, even if she was the one who teleported him there.

It's about polishing a rock to see if its a gem. I am not assuming the author did research, only that this is an interpretation that makes it interesting and worth following for me. A lot of anime out there is bad to mediocre but if there's just one thing it does right then often that's enough to not be a waste of time; so I polish that one thing.
