Author said he doesn't want one.
So there.

i hope not

Eventually, when author is paid enough money.

And probably when a few more volumes are out.

>>34256820
It seems more suited to an anime than the 4 panel manga that was Azumanga

>>34256820
Why not?

>>34256820
sauce, or else admit your lies.

>>34256853
Azumanga was still pretty good regardless.
It makes Lucky Star look like a niggers dick.

>>34256858
Because they ruined the Azumanga anime. Or so he says.

>>34256858
He feels as if the style of humor wouldn't be suitable for an anime.

Manga creator Kiyohiko Azuma (Azumanga Daioh, Yotsuba&!) has posted a blog entry on Friday about the recent surge of rumors about a hypothetical Yotsuba&! anime
adaptation. As early as 2005, Azuma has had to discount rumors of any anime plans. However, Azuma says the recent rumors are not about false anime plans, but about false reasons for why there are no anime plans.

People have been asking Azuma about rumors that friction between him and the Azumanga Daioh anime staff is the reason why a Yotsuba&! anime has never been green-lit. Azuma emphatically states that the new rumors are false, and laughs at the notion that there is friction between him and director Hiroshi Nishikiori or voice actress Tomoko "Kane-Tomo" Kaneda (Chiyo). Still, he acknowledges it is not good to have two people competing for control of an anime production.

Azuma explains that the reason that a Yotsuba&! anime has not been attempted so far is the difficulty of adapting its idiosyncratic storytelling. For example, he notes there is one scene in which the title character Yotsuba is visiting the Ayase family to play. Yotsuba walks in the door and says, "Konnichiwa—" ("Hello!"). Azuma uses several panels of nothing happening to represent time passing, and then the scene just ends.

Hopefully, but it's doubtful

>>34256900
He said that because he doesn't know how they would fit a yotsuba chapter into a 20 minute episode, since little goes on.
But he could just two 10-minute episodes for one episode.

>>34256896
>>34256900
Nonsense.
MAKE IT AN ANIME, FAGGOT.

>>34256911

I really hate this example. It's not like a fucking pause is impossible to do in an anime.

I actually kinda don't want an anime. I doubt it would live up to the quality of the manga unless it was really expensive

Like, I wanna see Yotsuba MOVE

>>34256929
Even 5 minute shorts or web-episodes would be suitable. I don't get why he would feel worried about the still scenes showing the passage of time. Gives the fantastic woodwind orchestra that featured in the 2 Yotsuba albums (and used throughout the Azumanga anime) a platform to shine.

>>34256929
Which is a lot like what they did with Azumanga.
>>34256911
I think that would work fine, just have an expanded length of nothing in the anime.

>>34256896
Stop perpetuating the false rumor.
The reason is that he feels that the way Yotsuba is written wouldn't translate well to animation.

I love Yotsuba as much as the next guy, but hearing her voiced could be... weird.

I doubt that whoever gets chosen as her voice actor will be able to match the voice that you read Yotsuba in.

>>34257045
I'd imagine it as being somehwat like Chiyo's from Azumanga.

Remember the Azumanga Daioh mini movie?

I bet that J.C.Staff are just waiting for their budget to be big enough so they can do an entire season of Yotsuba in that style.

>>34257059
And for me, it's totally different; a lot lower and louder and like a real little kid's. Tomoko Kaneda is great, but her voice is too moe and too Chiyo. Yotsuba shouldn't be moe.

Maybe if you gave Aoi Tada a sheet of acid tabs and then put her in a recording booth she could do Yotsuba. Otherwise I don't know.

>>34256911

Fucking faggot azuma. Stop being elitist asshole and gives as the anime. Probably just afraid that anime will be better than his manga.

Who would you like to see as the potential voice cast? Tomoko Kaneda as Yotsuba or would that feel too similar to Chiyo from Azumanga?

>>34257140
Or perhaps he cares for his creation and doesn't want it ruined by a bad adaption?

>>34257142
There was this pasta that was created by several anons that had the studio, director, character designer and voice cast, including the dub cast.

It was the most glorious thing I ever laid eyes on.

>>34257142
Lurk moar.

Yotsuba - Yui Horie - Luci Christian
Mr. Koiwai - Takahiro Sakurai - Crispin Freeman

Asagi Ayase - Hitomi Nabatame - Colleen Clinkenbeard
Ena Ayase - Ryoko Shintani - Jessica Boone
Fuuka Ayase - Marina Inoue - Michelle Ruff
Mr. Ayase - Mugihito - Steven Blum
Mrs. Ayase - Miyu Matsuki
Miura - Chiwa Saito
Jumbo - Tomokazu Sugita - Sonny Strait
Torako - Miyuki Sawashiro
Yanda - Hiroshi Kamiya - Brad Swaile
Hiwatari - Ai Nonaka

Character design - Kiyohiko Azuma
Director - Akiyuki Shinbo
Studio - SHAFT

Too bad a long anime series can't really use a real kid as a voice, like anime movies can.

>>34257153

lol ruined. It's not like the anime is going to change manga or something.

Kotono Mitsuishi as Fuuka.
Unshou Ishizuka as Jumbo.
Emi Shinohara doing her Youko voice as Asagi.
Maaya Sakamoto as Torako.

All I got. Others are hard, especially Yotsuba.

>>34257198
Anyone got a link?

Tomokazu Seki as fucking Yanda. Do it.

>>34257232
A bad adaption can easily lower the sales of the manga.

>>34257206

Why do you have to ruin perfectly good list by naming those shitty english voice actors?

>>34257264
Because it would get dubbed if it was created, may as well give the anime the best dubbing cast possible.

http://www.animevice.com/news/yotsuba-creator-a-yotsuba-anime-would-be-hard/61/

>>34257206
>Studio - SHAFT

Ugh, why not just give it to DEEN if you want it to look like shit, at least it'd be cheaper.

WAIT I'VE GOT IT.

Miyuki Sawashiro as Yotsuba.

She was so awesome as Chie in Eve no Jikan that I thought they got a real little kid as the VA.

>>34257277
>dubbed
>Yotsuba!

Do not want

>>34257295
Prehaps you should stop assosating SHAFT with Bakemonogatari, they can create good shows.

If they made Yotsuba with the same amount of animation as Hidamari Sketch and the same colour palette as SZS then it would be pretty damn awesome.

>>34257296
Miyuki Sawashiro did the voice for the little kid in Eve no Jikan? Oh shit.

>>34257306
Agreed, but it would happen.

Azumanga Daioh got dubbed after all.

>>34257306
can you imagine yotsuba's dub voice...

I'd stick with Tomoko Kaneda as Yotsuba but get her to pitch it down a tad from her Chiyo voice and make it louder. Kind of similar to the episode in Azumanga when Chiyo lets her hair down after she gets pissed off and speaks bluntly.

>>34257206
>Director - Akiyuki Shinbo
>Studio - SHAFT
ew god no

Who is Yuno's VA? I think she plays Popular too.

She would be a cute Yotsuba.

They could also go for Miyuki Sawashiro. She can do HNNGGGG voice quite well too.

>>34257306
But you also know for a fact that there is enough of a built in fanbase that it would be commercially viable to get a dub.

>>34257350
>>34257362

>>34257264
I don't keep track of dub VAs. I don't listen to dubs enough to memorize them.

Altermate dub cast suggestion:
Yotsuba - Lara Jill Miller
Asagi Ayase - Megan Hollingshead
Jumbo - Patrick Seitz

>>34257198
I picked the Japanese cast based on my SHAFTfaggotry. Some other guys helped with the dub cast, the parts of it that exist.

I also tried a JCstaff variant for trolling purposes. Except they don't recycle VAs as much, they make too many shows.

Yotsuba - Rie Kugimiya
Mr. Koiwai - Katsuyuki Konishi
Asagi Ayase - Shizuka Itou
Ena Ayase - Aki Toyosaki
Fuuka Ayase - Kana Ueda
Mr. Ayase - Norio Wakamoto
Mrs. Ayase - Sayaka Ohara
Miura - Satomi Arai
Yanda - Satoshi Hino
Jumbo - Hirofumi Nojima
Hiwatari - Kanae Ito
Character design - Kiyohiko Azuma
Studio - JC Staff

I ought to be a tripfag considering the shit I make that gets reposted, I just don't want to.

>>34257206
>Yotsuba - Yui Horie

Oh god no. no thanks


Hocchan can do genki girls but she's terrible at doing cute little girls Maria from Umineko was terrible. Hauuhauuu from Higu was tolerable at best.

>>34257415
That's Kana Asumi.

>>34257404
Azuma stated that Yotsuba wouldn't become animated because he liked using panels of nothing to symbolize silence or pauses.

Shinbo-SHAFT just happen to be experts on adapting such manga.

>>34257417

There's no doubt that if there's anime there's a dub.

I just don't want to see all those people going "YOTSUBA'S DUB VOICE IS SO KAWAII~~ :3333"

>>34257449
Now watch Umi Monogatari.

>>34257501
I puked when I saw the designs and clips from that show. No thanks.

Care to show me a video clip of Hocchan in action?

>>34257474
But it would be hideously Shinbo-like.

It works for some things, but I would hate to see Yotsuba animated that way.

>>34257543
Kill yourself, it's Aria as a magical girl show.

Just give it to Kyoto Animation. At least it would prevent a second season of goddamn Lucky Star and they don;t seem to want to do anymore FMP.

>>34257557
If a Yotsuba anime was to be made, I'm sure that Azuma would be involved with it a lot, he would tell Shinbo to tone down the SHAFTness if he thought he was going overboard with it.

>>34257606
>Kyoto Animation

Oh god no. I don't want my Yotsuba designs turned into shitty Uguu moeblobs.

>>34257543
>I puked when I saw the designs and clips from that show. No thanks.
Huh? The character designs were probably the best thing Umi Monogatari had going for it.

>>34257640
The managed to contain K-ON uguu~ artstyle to K-ON.

I would've hated Disappearance if they still had the K-ON artstyle.

>>34257628
Look dude, just stop masturbating to Shinbo. There are better approaches to this show than the way he would undoubtedly approach it.

>>34257606
>Yotsuba
>Kyoani

>>34257671
But they managed to K-on-ify the second season of Haruhi. Did you see how much of a moeblob they made everyone? Even Kyon was affected.

>>34257640
>>34257694
Two words - Haruhi movie.

In b4 shitstorm.

>>34257717
Disappearance was ATFER Haruhi S2.

Reminds me of how there never was a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon due to not wanting to pick a voice. I understand the sentiment but still

Why not just give to Koji Morimoto and Studio 4C and be done with it?

>>34257671
You DO realize that Kyoani uses the original designs for their own right?
Clannad, Air and Kanon all had that kind of design, only worse. K-ON had the same artsyle in the manga, only less Kannagi-style.

Kyoani hate is retarded, their animation, comedic timing and pacing is second to none.

Give it to GONZO so it starts out good but eventually falls apart and everyone goes back to the manga saying "this was so much better" which see unprecedented new levels of high sales.

Slice of life is best done by JC Staff.

If anything, they should atleast animate pretty neighbor.

>>34257206
>Fuuka Ayase - Marina Inoue
>Hiwatari - Ai Nonaka
>Studio - SHAFT

You would not believe how fucking OK with this I am.

>>34257841

Filler, bad pacing, huge gaps in animation quality between episodes.

>>34257856
>animate pretty neighbor

Reading "SHAFT" makes me want to kill myself.

Look Shaft has a niche, and it can only work within that niche. That happens to be the pretentious/abstract stories, so Zetsubou and Bakemongatari work out.

Shaft+Yotsuba& = I may as well just watch my windows screensaver for 24 minutes.

>>34257780

Haha no. They are only good at making some retarding animationg sequences where "cute" girls acts retarded and everybody should laugh at it.
They have no "heart" at all.

>>34257841
I'd rather they give it to HAL Film Maker.

>>34257803
Or even better, get Toei Animation to do it so it's so goddamn shit that KyoAni step in a couple of years later and does it properly.

Bam - we get at least two seasons of Yotsuba anime.

>>34257841
>Butchered adaptations are better done by JC staff
Fix'd for accuracy

>>34257879
>They are only good at making some retarding animationg sequences where "cute" girls acts retarded and everybody should laugh at it.

Sounds like Azumanga Daioh.

>>34257879
Because they also write the plot, oh wait they DON'T.
They make good adaptations with the given material, if the material is uguu or moeshit, they aren't to blame.

>>34257886
Yeah because KyoAni redoes every little shit coming out of Toei.

Series of OVAs by Ghibli.

That is the only way I would want to see Yotsuba animated.

>>34257474
Rolling tumbleweed to make it a bit better. Even if indoors.

>>34257954
Oh yeah, and enjoy your jokes dying in front of you. No thanks.

>>34257856
>animate pretty neighbor

>>34257867 Filler, bad pacing, huge gaps in animation quality between episodes.

Yeah, I mean just look at how JC Staff screwed up Azumanga

>>34257954
But then the dub voice of Yotsuba would be someone like Miley Cirus.

VERY MUCH NOT WANT!

>>34257954
>Ghibli

I would rather DEEN do it then give it to those boring fucks.

>>34256888
>look like a niggers dick.

That's funny because nigger dick is more aesthetic and functional than your micro penis.

>>34257937

But Azumanga was done well unlike anything kyoani has produced.

Studio 4°C
Imagawa as director

>>34258067

Not sure if srs.

>>34258057

>asspained nigger faggot

>>34257937

Don't fuck with a classic.

>>34258057

u mad blackbro?

Gainax?

>>34258106

Take off your nostalgia goggles.

Ah, just let Artland do it under the direction of Johnny Young Bosch.
