Um, I already said that too. But even if there were only a few scenes, they were still there, so my point still stands. I doubt the fact that Tomoyo After was originally an eroge has any effect on its chances of being animated. (Though a few months ago, I'd say "No way Tomoyo After is ever being animated!", but then the OVA came out, and I now believe it's a definite possibility.)

I still think Tomoyo After would be a bad idea, especially after After Story's ending is released.
I'm slowly growing sick of both Clannad and Haruhi. 'S why Munto and the speculated LB adaptation would be godsends. By the way, how long is LB? Would it fit into a 24-26 episode season? |

No. Although Little Busters is certainly shorter than Clannad, it is still big.
Because of its structure, making it 26 would require major overhaul. I would say that LB "should" have 3 cour, though it will most likely get 2 only, should it be adapted.

Well, if you look at the pricing of the visual novels and the length, there MAY be a connection...
AIR: Y3800; 13-ep (1 cour) Kanon: Y2800; initially 13-ep (1 cour), then Kyoani's 24-ep (2 cour) CLANNAD: Y6800; first season had 24-ep (2 cour) So if this is what we use, then: Tomoyo After: Y5800; 2 cour? (or is After Story meant to replace this??) Planetarian: Y2800; 1 cour? Little Busters: Y8800; 3 cour? LB EX: Y8800; 3 cour? Rewrite: No idea... And no, please, no more ONE. We already had two OVA series, and total 7 episodes. Two studios on one VN is enough, really. Of course, if it's Kyoani, I may be saying something different... but if it's TOEI, then FORGET IT! They screwed up the first Kanon TV anime series, the Air movie and the Clannad movie. (Basically every Key project they took on.) |

Oh, and some people like Toei's Kanon better than KyoAni's. Though I haven't seen Toei's version, nor do I feel the need to, as I thought KyoAni's version was perfect, but still... And also, the Clannad-movie wasn't bad, it's just that the TV-series was way better. (But if anyone hasn't seen it, I wouldn't recommend watching it, as it contains a huge spoiler.)

LB may need up to 4 cours because the two games may be merged... or not. |

They simply made it better, but this fact doesn't means that TOEI screwed with adaptation. Heart-wrenching ? Have you seen the ending of Clannad the Movie ? Or old Kanon's Mai version ? Mai's story is better in old Kanon, btw.

Spoiler for a certain event:
But you make it sound as if the Toei-versions have absolutely nothing good about them, but a friend of mine saw the Clannad-movie, and the After Story-segment DID apparently make her cry. And I didn't HATE the movie myself, I just found it somewhat lacking in comparison to the TV-series. And I DID like the After Story-part, although it felt a bit rushed.

Anything more than a movie for Planetarian would be a bit overkill. From my experience playing it, it is best told in one shot, instead of split up. I mean, where would you even split it up?
Tomoyo After could probably work as an OVA. I'm believing this because Kyoani has spent so much time/effort into Clannad, they are probably not going to want to animate anything more from that world, unless it's like a 3-4 episode OVA. One could be done in 13 episodes. I don't count either of the OVA series, because one was just a hentai, the other completely screwed up the plot. But since so much of the plot intertwines, it could be done in 13. Little Busters is more like 37, naturally, thanks to the shear length. But, you know, I feel like Air could have been longer. It was literally 11 episodes+2 recaps. Split better, it was 1 intro, 2 per character (6), 2 for summer, recap, 2 for finale, recap. Kyoani's been going 4-5 per character, so it could be a bit longer if remade.

I suppose they could animate LB straight through fall to summer, like Death Note did... I think...

Also, Mai's story, if I recall correctly, isn't much like that in the game. KyoAni is more game accurate. And thus, to me, better. |

And as for the comment about ONE, wouldn't the fact that one of them was a hentai technically make it MORE faithful? On a slightly less stupid way, from what I've heard, the H-version was actually pretty accurate to the visual novel, though I can't be sure, due to 1. I didn't play the visual novel 2. I didn't watch either of the anime-versions so technically, I have absolutely no credibility in this matter, as I'm going purely by what I've heard from other people.
