Re: Dramatical Murder Anime?

[(Anonymous)]

(I actually think this whole "we can bait more people to watch it if we don't decide on one pairing and risk alienating a part of the fandom" is one of the reasons that Free! for all its fujoshibaiting will never have a canon pairing.)

I think I would watch it as well - it has a pretty cool look even without any explicit or even shippy content. I think it will still have all kinds of hints, though, considering even non-yaoi-game based anime have those XD

LOL hints are a given! All anime, no matter if they have straight romances and are targeted toward guys, must have slash subtext, and anyone who thinks it's an accident is in denial. Kidding. But not really.

I think you're right about Free. It was made as fujoshibait, so basically designed to have slashy subtext, but as you said, almost definitely won't go canon because a) ship wars and b) I don't think it could market itself as a mainstream anime if it went gay, at least now it can somewhat pretend it's actually about swimming.

I actually liked a lot of the story in Dramatical Murder, and think it would be interesting to see it explored more. But even if they follow the "common" path, a certain event with Mink still happens...

(Or maybe it's because Free's light novels aka the source material doesn't have any romance in the first place? Just a thought.)

nayrt

not to get into more Free! wank, but... sure, that's true, but isn't the anime pretty much totally different? not totally different, per se, but much evolved from the light novel? It's not like it's following the same story, iirc. And, if I remember correctly, Free! was made because slash fans gave such a positive response to the shirtless, slashy promotional pictures they sent out before the anime got the green light... so there's no denying that it was pretty much tailored, in its creation, for slash subtext.

I agree it probably won't go canon, but I don't think the reasons are because of the light novels.

This rumor is super crazy tumblr-levels of untrue.

It takes more than a few months to make an animated series.

Also that's kind of Kyoani's thing to make a 30 promo for their upcoming series. KnK also got one.

Eh. Have you seen what happened to the Kuroshitsuji anime in comparison to the manga? And that's just one example. I don't really think source material is very sacred.

Free's light novels were just prequels involving the cast when they were kids, so that's a bit different. The story of the anime itself was a continuation, not an adaptation.
