"director Seiji Mizushima (first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, Mobile Suit Gundam 00) will be working with the veteran production studio Gainax (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) on the project. "

i hope there won't be any kindergarden angst and much depression in that series...

but with Mizushima as the director with Gainax, who knows?

Ooooo, this looks really cute! It'll be interesting Gainax and Seiji Mizushima doing something light-hearted.

Worst time ever to do an anime about a kindergarden. PERIOD.

Seeing current events I can only foresee that the production of this will be halted by a police raid after a couple of episodes….

Gainax. Slice-of-life comedy set at a kindergarten.

This will either turn out to be the most hilarious thing I watch all year or break my brain in new and interesting ways.

The Gainax "I'm going to fudge with your mind until it breaks" and Seiji "Angst" Mizushima are making a slice of life anime taking place in a kindergarten......brace yourself, weather it will be good or bad, we're in for a wild ride.

Edit: did the website just change my "fudge" to "fudge"?
Edit 2: Yes, it did. all f.u.c.k. will be changed to fudge...that is so awesome.

I have a feeling this series is going to end up to being creepy, moe or overall disturbing.

Mark my words, it will be one of them.

Or it could have random things like stuff blowing the hell up and the whole preschoool being made of explodium.

Teacher: You will complete the assignment, Terry! Or I will be forced to execute even more mental screwing towards you!
Terry: But...I....just can't!
Rachel, the substitute teacher: You mustn't run away, Terry! You must kick reason out and go beyond the impossible! Isn't that the way our kindergarten class rolls?!
Samantha: Teacher, robots are coming out of Nick's head again!
Terry: What is a robot? And what am I? Do I really exist? What will I do once I graduate from kindergarten? Will I have a purpose in this world? Who will care if I don't show up for 1st grade? Why does anything matter? Is there even-
Teacher: That's enough whining out of you, Terry! It's time for PE! And Rachel, for the love of God, put a sports bra on underneath your shirt! Your "jumping" is very inappropriate around the children!

Sorry I used English names, I can't make up "anime" names on the fly.

This can go several ways. I'm hoping for not disturbing. Looks very cute either way.

I read some chapters of this a while ago and it's terribly, terribly cute. It should be fun.

Gainax and the FMA director doing this sounds odd though.

This made me laugh for a bit. The show looks cute and I can't wait to see it.

I didn't expect them to pull off shit like that. First trash like Shikabane Hime and now a moe slice of life series. It's like they are really trying hard NOT to top their previous works by any means.

Gainax has never existed for me.

I expect manly playground brawls and angst-ridden naptimes.

Okay, first off, shame on all of you for judging the show before it has even had a chance to air. For all we know, this could actually be a cute yet funny show that will break away from GAINAX's typical angst driven series.

Secondly, this could be the closest to Yotsuba& as we're ever gonna get for now.
