Touhou Mystia's Izakaya anime seems to be on the works

[nitorii]

some of you have probably seen this already but in case you didn't 

I personally am not that big on videogame movies or adaptations of the sort but at the same time I think it's a cool idea, just scared of how they'll execute it

lemme know what you guys think in the comments and I might reply

Some more information about it

Official announcement:

(Bad) Translation:

The visual publicity map of the animation of the Mystia's Izakaya mentioned earlier was announced.
Preparations have begun in all aspects, let's see if we can prepare more things before the big festival. Doujin animation, not commercial animation;
An episode may be about 15 minutes, excluding OP and ED;
Slice of life style, relaxed and funny atmosphere;
I will prepare daily matching (there are good daily matching partners), and I don't have a particularly good idea for the middle matching, so I will take a look at the situation for the time being;
Do one episode first, and then do the next episode according to the income situation. If the situation is good, I will continue to do it. If the current episode loses more harm, that's it.
To be honest, please lower your expectations first to have a better experience.

My thoughts

It will be a slice of life anime, what I think really fits the original fangame. I think it may cover some ingame events. I think the plot will be like in Touhou slice of life mangas, I don't think it will be much more complicated. It is interesting that there are concept arts of Kosuzu, so maybe we will see the Human Village and maybe she will work in the izakaya. But maybe these are concepts for later episodes. It is hard to say how often they will come out, maybe every 1-2 years, maybe like Summer Day's Dream (you know how rarely it comes out). We still don't have a lot of info about it, so it is hard to say anything about it. I hope it will be quite fun to watch.

It seems like they have a very big circles, because they are making the anime and a new game at the same time. But it is good to see a new circle which makes fananime (because now there are literally only 4 circles who makes it: 舞風-Maikaze (Summer Day's Dream), 満福神社 / Manpukujinjya (The Memories of Phantasm), Kyoto Fantasy Troupe (The Sealed Esoteric History), R-note (M-1 Grand Prix); + sometimes 卯堀亭 / ウサホリ ; rarely there are some smaller circles which make anime / animations (like 回鍋楼 / AZu (found here), but I cannot find any info about them)).

One day I really want to see a fananime about fancharacters (for example by Kaisendo Directs).
