Naoya Fukushi created the anime and is directing it at Tengu Kobou. Hitomi Takano designed the characters, and Hiroyuki Moriyama (anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day) is serving as chief director of photography. Hiroaki Yabunaka is handling the sound effects, and Hikaru Nakatsugawa is producing. Nationally-ranked shogi player Yūki Hasegawa and comedian Ayumi Masui (under the stage name Peyon-Jun) are collaborating on the scenario writing, and Dream Vision's Takanori Morita is collaborating on making the puzzles to solve.
"Nazo-toki" refers to stories that center on puzzle-solving, such as the Professor Layton game series.
>Fall
>no PV
probably a short
>Naoya Fukushi
Looks like it's his first time directing a series.
Sounds boring as hell, but I'll watch it.
>Studio: Tengu Kobo
Literally who?
Googling them comes up with nothing at all.
Interesting.
Wait, so this is anime original? A studio which literally no one has heard of has just come out and announced an original anime as (what is seemingly) their very first project? Surprising.

What even the fuck is this show about?
A puzzle solving Anime? I have no idea what story they could make with it, but I'm a bit curious now.
I dig the titty monster girl. I will watch the first episode at least.
>Portal: the Anime
>shogi
I hope the puzzles won't be too nipponese for us gaijins.
>literally who director and studio
>shogi player writing scenarios
>puzzle solving
I'm tentatively intrigued.
It can always be something like Phi Brain.
Isn't Phi brain a show for kids? Like the toy shilling kind?
Yes, and puzzle solving seems like something a board of directors would think suits children cartoons best.
According to Wikipedia it's some kind of jap chess.
I'm expecting dramatic keikakus to win each game. based on literally nothing
This is a children's cartoon?
I know what it is. I quoted you because it has nothing to do with portal.
>This is a children's cartoon?
We don't know, I'm just speculating since there's a precedent.
>similar to Professor Layton game series.
I think so. It should be a crime to put such semen demon in a children cartoon.
You should watch more children's cartoons. It's full of semen demons.
FYI, this is a 3DCG show.
How do you know that? There's pretty much nothing about this show anywhere.
It's a 3DCG studio. The director's only worked in 3D as well.
I like how this thread pretty much died when we found out this is a show for kids.
Or it dies because we simply have no further things to talk about? There aren't any promotional videos, character bios, concept art or whatever to talk about.
Also, anons might right now be watching other anime, or be at work or school, or shitpost on Sup Forums or other boards or even other websites, or eat, be kissing and fondling their girl- or boyfriends or do something else.
