And this would be fun to watch because????????????????????????

I for one am looking forward to seeing something unusual (rakugo) as the backdrop for an anime, and with Kumeta having come up with the concept it should be very entertaining.

If you have read Kumeta's Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei or any of the anime adaptations by SHAFT, then this should be both fun and hilarious, it's the series i'm very much looking forward to next season.

I will be extremely disappointed however, if it's the total opposite of that and it will show again, how poor J.C.Staff handle there adaptation projects, lets hope that's not the case.

Can AUKN have its own anime as well?
