Yeah, he fanservices with the best of them, he just makes it really psychedelic as well. Did he learn this from Anno, or the other way around, I wonder?

I cannot wait to see Ikuhara's new show. I am tired watching forgettable yuri series. Maybe my standard are too hard but the only yuri show I like are Utena and Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (I don't count anime with lesbians like Card Captor Sakura). Often I found the plot boring or even too over-dramatic. I think the worst Kannazuki no Miko with the rape scene but even before that scene the show bored me.

Thanks you so much for posting this, Shadow!

Yep, it definitely leans towards the quirky, off-beat side ala Penguindrum.  The art style is very little-girl-ish, and I'm unsure if I will love the characters the way I do the SKU bunch. But, I'm sure the story will still be one that's intricate and mature (and filled with tear jerkers), cause I'm quite sure that Ikuhrara do not do 'shallow'.

Interesting, Also why did't anybody mentioned that they release a manga for the show back in February, nobody in this thread mention that, also the scans for both chapter 1 and 2 have been uploaded if anyone's interested on Eatmanga:

it weird that nobody mention that the manga was release but then again the manga is still in its early stages so we don't know whats going to happen next in terms of story, Utena did't becomes its own thing until the black rose where Akio was introduce, Penguindrum started to get better when Ringo's character arc was put out of the way and the show started to focus on the past of its main characters as the basics of it's plot and the stuff surrounding the subway bombing.

I first brought up the manga version back on the second page of this very thread...

Looks like we'll be getting our Yuri Kuma Arashi anime news on Monday! Please don't disappoint, Ikuhara! (Although to be honest, I'm still wary of it potentially being full of male gaze; that said, finding out more about the mangaka did make me feel better about the project.)

The hexagon now has 8.25, 9.15, 9.30, 10.10, 10.20 and 10.30 written around it.

Could be times (tomorrow morning) or possibly dates (starting with 25 August).

In any case the project is confirmed as definitely real!!

I'm excited and scared at the same time. I googled the Japanese name someone posted here and I found a screenshot of panty shot like really why no stop.

Ah! That's only 4 months away *.* The manga chapter I read didn't inspire much in me but I still have faith it'll be a watchable show. Anything to stop Ikuhara getting rusty. I secretly dream of a Be Papas reunion

Well, Mushishi is coming back soon, at least. And I am curious to see that new series by Ghibli. Find out whether Goro has improved since the disaster that was Tales of Earthsea.

Some magazine info.

It's looking pretty fanservicy so far..

I'm pretty wary on account of all the signs pointing to excessive fan service, but I believe in Ikuhara, and so at any rate I'm sure it'll be better than a lot of the excessive fan service shows coming out these days.

Ginko (short-haired girl) has the same seiyuu as Himari, by the way.

Aw, that's awesome!

For me, it does look like a little too much fanservice, considering the series isn't even out yet and there's already panty shots. But I'll still give it a chance! It might not be too bad. After all, Mawaru Penguindrum turned out to be really good and if they had put out preview pictures of Himari's transformation sequence that would have looked like a lot of fanservice too.

Double post, but some male designs were posted:
