i agree with the policy of working on one anime at a time, just look what happened to Bones when they started overexeting themseves, or jc staff 2 years ago, or AIC past fall, but still didtn kyoani worked in k on, haruhi season 2 and the movie at the same time?,still i dont think other animation studio would do wrong, the most importan thing would be the scriptwriter and the director, and who know they migth get ufotable.

2009 was a busy year for KyoAni.
Ending CLANNAD After Story and the Kyou OVA. Munto TV and its films. The two spin off comedy Web Series based on Haruhi. K-On! and Haruhi 2009 aired together until Summer, and while only a few new Haruhi episode aired while K-On was on, there was a little overlap. Plus the Harui movie that had been in production for a while with Haruhi 2009. Also they likely started work on K-On!! right after they started seeing big numbers in sales from K-On!. They had a lot to do that year and the year or two leading up to that year.

Ok, Hisaya definitely gets credit for the Shiori arc though, now that may be Key as its best, and then Maeda copypasta'd it into Clannad. But that's just me though. Kanon 2006 is about 13 episodes to me.

For a few reasons - Mainly comp issues and the sheer length of the best VNs - I've ironically never gotten much into VNs (ironic given the fanfic I'm currently writing here on Anime Suki ). So I've never played the Little Busters VN.
However, the Key VNs have consistently turned into very good-to-great anime, and those anime I have watched, and I count Clannad amongst my 10 all-time favorites (Kanon's not too far behind). As flawed as it was, I also enjoyed Angel Beats! So the distinctive Key writing style, shall we say, is one that appeals to me. I also once read a Little Busters 4Koma-style manga that I found pretty amusing, and which gave me a good impression of many of its characters. Then there's how many of my closer anime-watching friends hypes this a lot. So all of this combined, I'm very much looking forward to this anime. I also think that this anime probably needs to be made soon. Very popular source material or not, this property is getting old, and I can see how this could undermine the reception of its anime version if it was left on the backburner for much longer. Even on this thread you see a couple posters saying "What's Little Busters?" or "What's all the buzz about?". This type of reaction would only get more severe and/or commonplace the longer this went without being turned into an anime. So if KyoAni lost this to another animation studio they really have nobody but themselves to blame. They couldn't well expect Key to simply sit on this forever. That being said, my hope is that either KyoAni, Whitefox, or P.A. Works is handling this. Either of those three I would be fine with.

Kyoani: Hyouka (2-cours) and Chūni-byō Demo Koi Shitai (Unknown but probably 1 cour)
PA Works: Another (just finished), Tari Tari (Probably 1 cour Summer show), Hanasaku Iroha 2 (S2, OVA or Movie sometime in fall 2012 or winter 2013) White Fox: Jormungand (2 cours if you include the split cour system) Considering White Fox is a small studio and do even less works than Kyoani, I'm not sure if LB is possibility for them. Kyoani and PA Works seem most definitely out (since they are very busy) if LB is intended to be relased late this year or early next year, which by the timing of this announcement, I speculate that it airs around that time. That leaves me speculating its either A-1 or Production IG as Key has expressed concern about choosing a production studio which leaves out DEEN and JC out since they are rather infamous in their quality when it comes to adaptations. A-1 and Production IG are both large, reputable studios and are pretty financially stable. Particularily A-1, which was clearly the 2011 winner making lots of $$ from Anohana, Ao no Exorcist, Idolmaster and Uta no Prince Sama. I don't think Bones, Gainax or Gonzo have what it takes to make a "high-profile" VN adaptation and most definitely not Xebec, Feel or Seven Arcs which tend to a lot of B/C grade VN or generic fanservice/ecchi adaptations 101. |

For the second question, what "101" means ? B/C grade VN probably means decent/average VN, not as great as Key/Type-Moon for me. I don't think Xebec ever made VN adaptation unlike Seven Arcs (has made Triangle Heart and White Album adaptations in VN terms, made two light novel adaptations) and Feel (did OtoBoku and Yosuga no Sora, currently made two light novel adaptations) did. Is it laughable if Hoods pick up Little Busters! Ecstasy (ero-version of LB!) adaptation ?

In addition, Tatsuya Ishihara (the supervisor of Air, Kanon, and Clannad) will not be working on Hyouka in a supervisory role. It remains a possibility that the project he has been working on since the completition of Nichijou is Little Busters.

I wouldn't consider him amongst the greatest writers ever, but when it comes to making likable characters out of moe stereotypes, he's a master (the Angel Beats characters were so fun, despite very few of them being fleshed out). With that said, he was only in charge of a few characters in this series (I'm not saying who. Look it up if you want to know), but those characters ended up being my favorites.

It basically means class level one number one. Or first year, class one of that topic. So, "generic fanservice/ecchi adaptations 101", would be entry level classes for the subject matter. Meaning they do basic fanservice and ecchi so much they can teach the basics.

So I wouldn't really call Hisaya absence that changed Key works tone. Rather, Kanon is the exception (and rewrite, but that was pretty much Hinoue's plan for this one).

It's funny because to be honest I consider Kanon to be the worst of the Key stories. To me it was just incredibly generic and melodramatic. The only bit I actually thought was well done was the car incident.
I liked Air because it developed a great relationship between a mother and child that the main character wasn't even involved in much. I liked Clannad because the story actually went beyond the main character getting the girl, and actually showed him growing up. I liked Angel Beats because it was more different from the norm with an interesting setting, had many more characters independent from the main character, a great sense of group friendship and was just so hilarious that there were so many moments where my sides were splitting.

- This post is dedicated to Kaioshin. P.S. Kanon is the only key story in the animated format that I liked. Air is silly. Clannad is average at best until the superb finishing touch that starts from S2 ep 19.

Push-button melodrama like mysterious incurably illnesses, slowly and painfully dying fox girls, ghost girls and ridiculously contrived car accidents?
I adore Kanon and it's my personal favourite KEY work (Tied with Littler Busters) exactly because of how archetypal and straight played it is. I wouldn't exactly say the drama was at all subtle or clever though. That being said, on the plotting/consistency side of things I have a problem with all KEY works sans Little Busters.

(Well, I actually do enjoy all of Clannad, though I agree that the Ushio arc is far and away the best part of the series) I've never watched Air (Minus the first episode, which I barely remember), though I enjoyed Kanon quite a bit. The story arc about the kitsune girl was great, her mental deterioration always reminded me of Alzheimer's (A disease I've always had a morbid fascination with, tragic though it is). |
