I don't quite see how they'll get even a 12 episode series out of this. I personally think it'd be better as a 2 or 3 episode OVA. It is my favourite of all Shungiku Nakamura's work though. JR and Sekai-ichi drag on too much for me.

Hybrid Child was gorgeous, but really depressing... Will it be an outright series or just an OVA? It wasn't very long, so I dunno if it could support a whole series. Can't wait to see it, though! Smile

It was really good but at the same time how are going to make that into a 12 episode series without some altercations. So i agree w/ st_owly Smile

wow, Nakamura is certainly en vogue. I wonder why that particular mangaka is the one getting all the gold? Either way, I'm always happy to see BL get animated! Yay Smile

I swear to god I hadn't even seen this thread when I posted this in the Sekai-ichi s2 announcement thread a few minutes ago:

So not only will Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi receive a second season, but Shungiku Nakamura's other manga Hybrid Child (which I've always wanted to read) will have its own anime as well (preferably an OVA)!!
Please do check out Hybrid Child as it's quite good. I think it's better than Junjou Romantica-- more nuanced & emotionally "real," and less "guy still spazzing out the bazillionth time his boyfriend comes on to him."* Not to mention it's just a single volume-- you have very little to lose.

Anyway, wow-- a Hybrid Child anime? I see the katakana says "anime" but does it differentiate between TV series and OVAs? Because I'm not sure how they'd get a 12 or so episode series out of HC as it's made up of 3 shorter stories that are only indirectly related. If you've read the book you'll know what I mean-- unlike the multiple stories/couples in Junjou Romantica & Sekai-ichi, HC's stories aren't chronologically concurrent. Would they split it up into three 4-episode arcs? To me, making three 45-minute OVAs makes more sense-- but if we get a full series I sure won't complain.
...
*[Not that I wasn't still reading JR at what, 12 volumes before Tokyopop blew it? But there's a reason it wasn't at the top of my list of lamented late BLU titles...]
It's kind of funny that a number of us had the same thoughts about it. Laughing
