Excellent eroge adapted anime うたわれるもの / Utawarerumono is set to get a three volume OVA to be released in the spring of 2009, and it is said to include significant ero-upgrades, as well as some reworking of the series.
The speculative date given for the release of the first volume is June 5th, 2009; a DVD special edition and a Blu-ray edition will retail for some ¥8,000, with a normal version going for ¥6,300.
Some reworking of character design and scenario details is apparently in the works, but most interestingly we hear: “Unlike the TV anime it won’t be covering things up with steam or avoiding interesting angles; it’ll be a more mature work.”
Given the conclusion the original drew to, it seems a side-story is the shape the OVA will take, though details are sparese at present.
There was some disturbing talk of a PSP UMD only release for all or part of the title, but this thankfully seems to have been scotched.
Utawarerumono fans are sure to be eagerly anticipating this, especially with something of a return to its eroge roots, a pattern we saw also with Koihime Musou. Let us hope nothing goes awry.
As far as I can recall, the anime was pretty accurate with its portrayal of the game aside from swapping around of when some of the things happened, removing all the battle scenes that only involved generic monsters, and then of course the removal of all the ero aspects though one of those also has a heavy affect on the ending of the game in terms of the meaning for Oboro’s actions so that one kind of has a big impact on everything.
Probably missing a few things, but it’s been almost two whole years since I watched the anime and damn does my memory suck when it comes to most things.
Oh well, wouldn’t mind seeing what they change with it.
I really hope they keep the same cast.
After playing the game I couldn’t see the anime as anything other than an atrocity… Hopefully further maiming of the title won’t result from this -_-
I played the game and after that I watched the anime and I would say that the anime was fairly good, though they did leave out some important things. Compared to many anime that are adapted from eroge, the Utawarerumono anime was much better than I expected.
That’s a very good new, I like a lot the first Utawarerumono anime, good thing so see the heroes a new time :D
yay!
what!?! Ero OVA?! so Oboro is gonna own all the gals in thie 3 episode OVA? :P
He might get it on with the Archer twins.
No. Just no. Boy on boy is not allowed in this ova
Its a trap!
For some reason, I always thought they were girls in the game? Ugh my memory phails me.
Guraa and Dorii are definitely boys in the game. They were left deliberately androgynous in the anime to keep us guessing.
There are some though that strongly believe that Dorii and Guraa are female in the anime, no matter how many times you tell them that they are canonly male.
Give me the uncenstored onsen scene with classic ecchi elements and I’ll be happy
Eroge source material being turned into an ero-OVA can only be a good thing ;)
Ooo, I’m quite excited.
Following Utawarerumono way back when, it’s definitely one of the shows I recall most fondly. It’s actually amazing that I still haven’t gotten around to playing the game.
But yes, one of my favourite anime ever.
Well finally!
Anime was great by my book in that it was a pretty faithful adaptation of the game minus the echi and Urtoriy’s side story, but looks like there’s a chance now to revisit all of that.
Actually I finished watching utawarerumono like a week ago and news of another ova is like a blessing :)
Here’s to hoping the animation quality won’t be degraded.
the anime was not ecchi in any way. when someone said thsi originated from an eroge, i couldnt make the connection because the anime seemed heavily story driven. maybe with this eroge it can bring the true potential of what uwataremono was originally in the vn.
yup, I dont believe it when my friend told me this was from eroge…
Having been an Utawa fan for quite a long time, this can only be good news. I do hope though, that they use the same voices, it would be strange otherwise I think.
Oh yes! Finally! I’ve been hesitant on this series for quite some time, but seeing an ero ova on the works I’ll go and buy the dvd’s now. lol Kinda reminds me of Green Green Erolutions ova and the 3 short yuri stories.
I’m a huge fan of Utawarerumono (took me months to remember how that was spelled.) but I gotta say…Really? I understand Utaware still has a faithful following, but if they’re gonna put out OVAs for this, where the FUCK are my GOD DAMN Tsukihime Sacchin OVAs!?
*coughs*
Tsukihime remake.

…Once again got mixed up and used BBCode instead of html tags, but whatever. XD
…Wait…did it not register my first post?
Well, whatever.
Tsukihime remake (with the possiblity of Sacchin getting a route this time): http://www.typemoon.com/product/next/tukihime.html
Don’t get me wrong, I’m jumping for joy over the remake. But I want OVAs. Kara no Kyoukai style OVAs, with Fate/stay night style character designs.
Then I will be able to die happy.
OH FUCK YES. Utawarerumono was one of my favorite anime for a while. Hope to play the game soon.
Giving it a mature appeal only makes it even better.
Touka! <3
OMG! My favorite anime is getting a OVA release! Yeah!!! Wow I can’t wait!! I hope the animation drawing style stays the same or similar tho XD;
Wow this is great news haha :D Now, if only they came up with a great movie for this too >:D
FINALLY! This thing has been in the works for ages, if I’m not mistaken.
Would’ve preferred a second season with older Aruru, but more Utaware is always a good thing.
If this has a 3-way scene with Touka and Karura, it might just be the best ero-OVA ever…
If there was going to be a second season then there would have to be a sequel to the original game first. Plus an older Aruru just seems wrong, she would loose her loli moe-ness if you aged her.
More ero Karura and Touka is good. <3
More Eruru with her tsurupettan chest….XD
omg i fuckign loved thsi series must get taht uncencord dvd
I enjoyed the anime would be nice to see more of it, perhaps a new series that’s a bit more polished story wise..but oh well….
oh! are the twins traps are what?
woo hoo!!!! been waiting for a breath of fresh air….. can’t wait for it now!!!
Still waiting for it…
