Just how many shows does Kadokawa plan to produce in a year again? Confused

I like the title.

Very simple, and kinda cool sounding too.

Eh. I understand that Troyca does what is profitable, but this is not the type of show what they do the best.

I hope Kamui Kobayashi, Yuji Ide, Kazuki Nakajima, Takuma Sato or Yuki Tsunoda make a cameo appearance at least. I wonder what the Suzuka or Fuji race track would look like.

An show set in the world of Formula 4 racing? I'm up for that if they can handle the racing scenes well enough. I've watched British F4 and sure, the cars are smaller, the races are shorter, the drivers are frighteningly young but the racing has more wheel to wheel action with overtaking going on than in two hours of F1.
I hope they can at least do that some justice.

Regardless of how this show fares, one thing about original anime where the anime version premieres first is that at least we don't necessarily have to worry about this: Bastardizing characters like how an adaptation often does.

I mean that still doesn't mean the characters are going to be written well, it just means that's the only interpretation of them

Well, this was definitely something I didn't expect. Not sure if I'm really interested. I need to see more.

I don't know, but one of them isn't Index IV.

You know... It could get a season 2 and still do exactly that.

Is this like the spiritual follow up to that horse-racing anime, now with F4 racing...

Yeah people will just have to worry potentially about poor animation, poor art, poor voice acting, poor writing, or poor pacing.
