That was most likely 2ch posting a fake staff list. Not the first time it happens, unfortunately it won't be the last either.

Ehhh, well. I was really looking forward to getting a new Nakamura TV series (apparently he's working currently working on a movie so this could only be fake anyway), so this is quite a bit of a downer. Still, Mizushima Tsutomu + P.A. is definitely nothing short of interesting either.

Well, that's a major bummer

I was looking forward to this so damn much.

I'll delete my post to avoid any confusion, and so as to not give any more people false hope.

Anything PA Works is producing gets a long look, and this seems interesting anyway. Has Mizushima ever worked with them before?

Nope,neither has scriptwriter Higaki Ryou though his only writing credit is having done the scripts for 6 episodes of Moribito.

Gak! I missed that. Of course, PA Works was a partner with I.G. on Moribito.

PA Works doing an adaptation, eh? That's new. No, True Tears doesn't count.

True Tears was based on a visual novel, but the anime features a entirely different story and new characters. The other adapted title by P.A Works was Canaan, a side story of the video game 428.

I think it's guaranteed that this anime will get great animation and this time there is potentially a bit of insurance in that they may not stuff up as much in terms of pacing and consistency compared to their "pretty much anime-original" series since they actually have a source material to follow this time. Director doesn't really ring a bell, but since the writer is the same person who wrote the scripts for Seirei No Moribito, that is a major plus. Moribito is one my very favourite animes.

Somewhat looking forward to this, but mystery/horror is not really a genre I look for in anime. I will still check it out though. Also, at the very least it's good to see P A Works diversifying in its genres once again.

Whoops,I worded my sentence badly,the guy wasn't the main screenwriter,he just helped out on six episodes.

What ...man that sucks about the fake staff listings ;( seeing how P.A works seemed to have stepped it up a bit, I'll like to check this out anyway.

Terrible director. My hopes just went down.

[Suzuku]

Mine went up. I love Mizushima, one of the most diverse directors in the industry right now.

[Guardian Enzo]

"Terrible" is pretty harsh for a guy who directed Oofuri, Hare Guu, and Shinryaku Ika Musume.

I find his resume quite solid,just in a complete different genre than this anime

And while I've been quite disapointed in blood c,I'm more inclined to put the responsability on clamp for that.

[Suzuku]

Most people's problem with Blood-C is definitely the script. The direction is almost never touched upon.

[Reckoner]

No really. I think I've disliked just about every work this guy has done.

He's awful.

PA works continues its use of bad directors I see.

[fertygo]

The director is very good with adaptation material though, all of his adaptation show that I watched from him always have steady pacing.
If you don't like it, its maybe you (gonna) have problem with the original source.

[Reckoner]

Then he has an opportunity to prove himself with a better source material (Presumably).

Step up? I would argue they reached their peak with their debut series (True Tears) and ever since then been gradually declining. Except if a person thinks Angel Beats is actually great (which I did not). In addition, if a person has been watching Hanasaku Iroha on a weekly basis, you'll know what a rollercoaster ride it is in terms of quality .


Anyways, back on point. Having a source material though might actually help. P A has always delivered on the animation/audio front but always issues when it comes to pacing and consistency. Anime original scripts may have been a contributing factor.
