Well it does not look terrible. I expected it to be a lot worse, but this looks pretty good. I think I will be able to watch it.

I am still really disappointed that they are doing this and not continuing Zettai Karen Children.

THANK YOU. Imagine my disappointment/rage when I got the poster of the anime in my Shonen Sunday today.

Like... What?! Why?! AAAAH! What the HELL did you do to the hottest guy in ZKC, Manglobe?! NONONO, what did you do to it as a whole!!!

Hmmm... looks like some sort of prison for espers. Filled with anti-esp measures. Though... we all know how well those work on Hyoubu. Should be interesting. I love shows where the MC is not only invincible, but also charismatic (Hagure Yuusha, Kaze No Stigma come to mind)

"The spin-off anime will begin airing on January 7, 2013."

"it revealed that an advance screening of the first anime episode with the cast members Yusa, Suwabe, and Tōyama will be held on January 16."

The advance screening is after it airs on TV?

This is kind of off-topic, but does anyone know if Sentai has licensed all of the original ZKC?

uh... didn't everyone already know that this series takes place sometime after the original? You can't expect the MC to still look like a shota.

I guess that is what everyone is complaining about here.... Confused

The whole TV series is out on DVD. I don't believe there's been any announcement about the OVA.

Thanks, I'll probably be ordering this then. Smile

Its kinda a slap in the face for the fans of the series. I'm pretty sure people watching a show named "Absolutely Lovely Children" won't care about a spinoff about some pretty boy.

This doesn't look fun. Fujoshi pandering much?
Is there really an audience for this among ZKC readers in Japan?

Manglobe is typically the studio that series go to die (they've never sold over 2.5k average for any TV series), so it looks like they were trying to kill the series or something by doing this show. I can't really think that a series that became popular among otaku because of the lolis really has much of a fujoshi fanbase.
