Couple that with the general sentiment among Western fans that they've been hankering for Kyoani to animate something that "deserves" good animation...this may not go down well.

It's already going poorly with Western fans. I've seen people blaming it for KyoAni not animating Little Busters to saying the designs are ripping off Another. Haters are going to hate regardless. The same thing happened with previous KyoAni shows, especially Hyouka.

Spoiler for ANN's mistake leading to confusion already (NOVEL SPOILERS:

)ANN already screwed over the fans with their "summary" back in December. They ran a translation of the second novel's story. That novel won't be animated, so people are expecting a character who won't show up. People are already going to be confused based on that alone since MAL and blogs copied/pasted that summary for the show. I've been doing my best to correct it, but I can only do so much.
