(because I think this does deserve its own thread, and am getting tired of the lack of threads on here)
After a year of nothing anime related from Fujimi Fantasia Bunko - no news, no airing anime adaptations, virtually nothing on previously announced ones - we finally have some updates. And it's a tasty offering indeed.
New anime adaptations:
Gamers!:
Romantic Comedy series about a group of gamers. 5 volumes are out at present with the sixth due in November.
MAL synopsis:
This is a story that revolves around certain students and one hobby. Amano Keita is our lonely protagonist who has a passion for gaming and is friends with Uehara Tasuku, who is secretly a fellow gamer and is someone who believes his life is perfect. We also have Karen Tendou, the club president of the video games club and Chiaki Hoshinomori, who constantly bickers with Keita. This is a story filled with a non-stop sequence of comedy scenes and misunderstandings. Our chaotic romantic comedy now begins!
Grancrest Senki:
Fantasy series. 7 volumes are out at present with an eighth due in November.
MAL synopsis:
On a continent ruled by chaos, the Lords have the power of a holy seal that can calm the chaos and protect the people. However, before anyone realizes it, the rulers cast aside their creed of purifying the chaos, and instead start to fight each other for each other's holy seals to gain dominion over one another. Shiruuka, an isolated mage who scorns the Lords for abandoning their creed, and a wandering knight named Theo, who is on a journey to train to one day liberate his hometown, make an everlasting oath to work together to reform this continent dominated by wars and chaos.
Highschool DxD (4th series):
Demonic ecchi harem series. Has had 3 anime adaptations previously. 22 volumes of the light novel are out in Japan.
MAL synopsis for the original novel series:
Hyodo Issei is a (perverted) high school boy. When he goes out on a date with his first girlfriend Asano Yuma, he is killed by her. Her true identity is Reinare, a fallen angel sent by a secret society Grigori to eliminate dangerous divine weapons. Issei is reincarnated as a devil by his senpai Rias Gremory, a Duke of Hell. Issei serves as Rias's low rank devil and fights against the fallen angels.
News on previously announced anime:
Full Metal Panic!'s fourth series, which was announced at last year's event, will be titled Full Metal Panic! IV. It will air in the Autumn of 2017. The character designs and chief animation will be done by Horiuchi Osamu, as they were for Full Metal Panic! and Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid. The director, Katsuichi Nakayama, will be new to the role, although he did act as assistant director for the second and third Evangelion rebuild movies.
