Visual novel developer Front Wing has announced that its upcoming work Island will be adapted into a TV anime. The visual novel is scheduled to go on sale for the PC on April 28, 2016, and is priced at 9,800 yen.

Synopsis
Urashima, an island far from the mainland. The people who live there lead carefree lives. But five years ago, the island's three great families suffered a series of misfortunes, and succumbed to suspicion. The people of the island cut off all contact with the mainland, and began a slow decline. The key to saving the island lies in three girls who belong to the three families. But they are bound by old traditions, and are conflicted. On that island, a lone man washes ashore. The man claims to be from the future, and he begins a solitary struggle to change the island's fate. (Source: ANN)

A harem with plot. This could be real good or real bad.

Probably bad.

I'm sure there's much more satisfying hentai out there for anybody who wants to see a grown man fuck a bunch of 6 year olds.

Doesn't look bad. Expect 13-episodes trainwreck, but I can be wrong. Time to see the CG gallery to see if it's worth the time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)....

Could be disasterously bad, although there's a possibility that it will be good. Especially just because this is a frontwing anniversary title, they won't want to mess around in such an event.

Internally questioning why it has to be lolis, but well it's their decisions.

After the Grisaia series, here we come another decent action-harem VN series.

1. People calling every VN "harem" are idiots
2. There's no hentai in Island. It's an all age VN
3. This thing has a decent plot so I'll watch for sure

Night expect a bad adaptation from this series, but then again, it can be turned into something decent. c: The synopsis looks interesting enough.

QFT.

Anyways, I'm adding this to my plan to watch. Looks interesting. And besides, Front Wing.

Sure looks like loli bait to me yet the story doesn't sound too shabby (barring the last part with the guy from the future; stupid). It's been a while since my last VN adaption so why not?

Sounds pretty interesting, and with Frontwing it should probably be good.

Also, other reactions in this thread are more predictable and boring than what anyone expects this to be. Just saying.

Well but from what I heard, the adaptation of Grisaia no Rakuen was almost perfect.

Hmm... This could be nice become, will check out... But I'm interested, which anime studio this pick up will. Though, if I the charas (or better said: the eyes) so seeing - There would probably KyouAni or P.A.Works fit for this... But let's see...xD

It would be awesome if Kyoto Animation would animate it. There hasn't been much news about the production of it, but it does seem interesting. I'll definitely watch it.

Wouldn't be surprised if the same studio as Grisaia were to animate this. Somehow, I just got a weird Let's☆Lagoon vibe.

It seems like it's their second masterpiece. You can see here the ratings, and, as you can see, it's pretty high rated (even if there are just few voters for now).

And I recently talked to someone who finished the VN 2 days ago. He said that it is one of the best VNs ever made.

Sorry but you can't base it on Japanese voters, since they put more weight on H-scenes, moe and perversion originality tickboxes.

The actual story content won't influence the rating to a great degree until the western audience has a translated version.

This has been very evident with every lousy-story VN, for example Princess Evangile started out at like 8 when it came out on VNDB and has been dropping by 0.2 every month or two since a translation became available. And it still has a rating of 7.48! Princess Evangile!

You can start trusting the VNDB rating of a VN once it exceeds 2000 votes.


Edit: None of this even matters, the point is that it's Front Wing who already established they don't give a crap about the legacy of their work once it leaves store shelves and the bucks are made. Agreeing to an adaptation of GnK at 16.5:1 compression ratio is hilariously void of integrity.

Not when they get someone like GO to do the writing, he is much better than any of Grisaia writers.

Looks pretty interesting and glad to see another Frontwing work get animated (though I wish the one with dragons gets one someday) so I will go watch this when it comes out.
