I followed the manga awhile ago and thought was decent for a shoujo manga. I always knew that someday there might be an anime adaptation and volia. There's been some talk about the voice actors/actresses, what production studios will be in charged, etc

But anyways, there's no PV out (yet!). The recent website is up though: http://aoha-anime.com/
Assuming the series airs this year, I'm guessing around summer, or even Fall. Anyways, just wondering what expectations people will have for this. Shoot away~

Let's hope it's I.G. or Wit doing it and that It'll have 20+ episodes.

I'm just hoping that the fact that Kaji Yuki is voicing Kou won't ruin the show...

All I know about it is I love the art, and I love Yuki Kaji.

So hopefully the plot holds up. I've heard good things though, so my expectations are rather high.

The more I think about it the more I can imagine Yuki Kaji as Kou.

The manga is quite good. ^^ I'm a little frustrated about it right now, to be quite honest, but it seems like it's getting better. There needs to be development anyways.

Words cannot express how happy I was when I saw the announcement for Ao Haru Ride to get an anime adaptation. I've always wanted to see one of Sakisaka Io's works animated.

I have pretty high expectations for this series not only because I enjoy the manga a lot but also because I think that an anime adaptation has a pretty good opportunity to cut out some of the excess fat that was present in the manga's story. One of my main qualms about the original material is how dragged out some of the problems and conflicts in the story (which seems to be a common problem in shoujo manga anyways), so here's hoping that some of it is trimmed down in the adaptation.

Yuki Kaji seems like an... interesting... choice for Kou, but oh well. I'll wait and see how it actually goes before I jump to any conclusions about how well he'll portray Kou, despite him being far from what I imagined for the character.

I like Kaji-kun voice, I like his voice acting for Eren, Alibaba or Satoru...
but I'm so scared how he will handle Kou...
Really, hope this will be good...

Also have hope Production I.G will make animation! *.*

Really looking forward to this one! It is a very good story. Yes, it relies on tropes, but it executes them well and the art is really good. There is a sense of believability in the behavior of the characters. I don't know how else to describe it...

Yuki Kaji as Kou omg when I saw this I hope he changes his voice a little.
I hope the best though, I already like the manga.

The Seiyu for Futaba is the same from Noragami, Hiyori.
I just saw them both work great , Yukine aka Yuki Kaji, Hiyori aka Maaya Euchida
I am liking the voice actress/ actors so far

I have such high hopes for this! I read Strobe Edge then loved that the mangaka started Ao Haru Ride and I just want to see her characters animated so much because I love everything about her style and her work, so yeah, I hope they don't screw it up! (Like they did with Sukitte ii na yo imo, because I definitely enjoyed the manga much better there)

Shoujo can be hit or miss for me, so I'm hoping this one falls under the former. I guess maybe I do have somewhat high expectations for this one. Hope it has good drama and romance and character development and isn't just every cool guy falling in love with the girl at first sight.

I'm pretty sure 12 episodes will not be enough to go deep into the manga..

I was squealing when I first heard of this news~~ AHR is like my baby lol I've been reading it since the first few chapters came out a few years back and to hear it's getting an anime and live-adaptation is amazing~

But back to the topic, I don't really want to expect anything but I am just hoping the ending of the anime would be anything but bad/silly. It's only 12 episodes, so I'm wondering where they'll make the cut-off from the manga, I'm just worried for the ending. Actually I was surprised that there'll already be an anime adaptation because I don't think there's enough manga material yet but that might just be me.

Just hope that the anime can somehow go in quite deep with the romance and character development even though it's only 12 episodes. Hoping this won't be a flop of an anime because the manga is a great series and it'll be a pity if people have a bad impression on the manga because of the anime.

Also hoping that the manga would cover the parts when Kou and Futaba were middle-schoolers as well because that part is just too cute~ XD

(I don't speak much english, so I apologize if I misspelled any oration or word!)

Honestly, I have fear (?) xD with only twelve episodes is clear that there will not be a complete or well advanced adaptation (perhaps get to chapter 16 or 17 of the manga as much) so, as I assume there will not be a second season, the final will be invented, and the fact the seiyuu of Touma has not been announced (for now) and I imagine how it will end and that give me grief.

Beyond that, everything else like animation, design, music etc.. I know will be fine, so just enjoy what remains to be seen.

Since it is apparently only 12 episodes my expectations are now not very high...to be honest, I'm just not sure there's enough time for a great romance to be set up and developed in 12 episodes. Oh well, at least Fall will have Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, which is apparently gonna be 22 episodes.
