Ah, can't wait for this...I'm still curious on how many episodes this series will be though.

Yeah, definitely need an uncensored version for this show, be it waiting for a different station or waiting for the Blu Ray.

That's only for certain stations, ATX usually airs stuff uncensored. It's annoying, but not really that distracting(unless it was that episode in Motto where Rito has the x-ray specs).

Hopefully someone simulcasts this, since Motto To Love-ru didn't get picked up when it aired originally.

What the fuuuuu- *head explodes*

How exactly are they gonna make TLRD an anime? I'd understand if they waited a bit, but... the manga's only up to what, chapter 17 or so? Not to mention it releases monthly; not like they're going to have a lot of material by the time they start. Granted, each chapter has about 40 pages, but regardless, that's hardly enough to make even a 12 episode season out of. Not to mention the incredible amount of fanservice they'll have to deal with censoring - or not, as it might stream on ATX like everyone is mentioning.

This is not bad news at all though, not bad at all. I like this very much.

What channel did High School DxD air on? Because aside from one crotch scene, that aired pretty much uncensored, if I remember correctly.

given how little manga material there is i find it hard to believe that it will get more than 12, i know its monthly and has +/- 40 page chapters but with only 17 chapters out 12 seems like a sensible number for now, maybe with a sequel series a year on or something

That's right, I do remember waiting for uncensored episodes from AT-X, I believe. If that happens again, a week's wait is fine.

Oh please.

Assuming this airs in Fall 2012... that's another 5 chapters at least added to that figure of 17. And you than mention that each chapter is 40 pages and say it isn't enough? Wow.. I mean it's not like they won't pad it out man, like Ren's initial episode in the first seasons which turned a 17 page manga chapter into a full 20 minute episode.

You can easily adapt a monthly manga chapter into an episode with smart use of filler.

true enough take railgun for example half of the series is covered in 8 chapters alone from the manga.
