This trend of older shoujo manga getting anime adaptations is interesting. It's great that we are getting full adaptations of shoujo manga (though that's due to the fact that these manga have been finished for a long time) but at the same time I fear what if these adaptations just speedrun the story, especially if these anime adaptations have only 12 episodes. At least the Hana-Kimi anime is getting a second season but I'm worried about Red River and Dengeki Daisy. Hopefully they will have more than 12 episodes or multiple seasons.
This trend puzzles me a lot tbh (I'd love to know why they decided to dig these titles up now), and I really, really hope there will be some good and decent adaptations, but their choice of old titles seems weird and I have no faith in their quality... Like what we've got for now:
-Red River designs and posters seriously give me miserable 7seeds adaptation flashbacks (God forbid them adapt Basara)
-I hoped Hyakki Yakoushou gets a real series, but its "adaptaion" happened to be just meaningless short videos
-Dengeki Daisy honestly seems such a weird choice of title to adapt these days (though I loved the first poster everyone hated on)
I really hope Kanata Kara gets an adaptaion of good quality and especially hope they'll do a good job on designs - it would be such a pity to lose the author's fire style to modern cheap slop quality
Other titles I want to have good adaptations are Kawachi's Namida Ame to Serenade, Iwamoto Nao's Seven Knights, and Mutsuhana Eiko's works (the visuals for the one about the witch with love potion look not so good but I hope at least Shinipro avoids this fate and gets something beautiful)
