What's with the multiple seasons rage going on in the anime circles these days, it wouldn't be strange if they decide to make a 2nd season. After all, Bandai-Namco are rich.
Besides, even assuming they decide to end the anime at the atypical halfway point of like... every Tales game, it's still a reasonable ending, even if it completely misses out on a ton of things. Anyway, any info on the staff for this adaption, other than it being obviously (( ... I think )) Ken Ootsuka (( what's with the Gash Bell faces and all )) doing character design/animation director? He's probably busy with ToS, but Sunrise should've really tried to get Akira Matsushima doing the character design. He did a wonderful job for Symphonia, making it really feel like Fujishima's iconic style.

Despite being handled by Kekkaishi's overall staff in its art direction, the colours sure look more stale than those of Kekkaishi's. Hishinuma should've sticked closer to his Inuyasha's style too, but whatever.

I never finished the game because the story never really catched me. Still, I look forward to this anime. The animation looks superb. And Guy is one hell of a cool characters. (He's probably the only reason I might reconsider play the game through)
Regarding Tales of Symphonia (Might be off-topic) did they ever finish it? As far as I know the anime stopped at ep 4, and it is not the ending...

That would be because it was a 4 episode oav, there never were, are, or will be any more episodes of Symphonia, regardless of any idiotic rumours you might have heard otherwise (like all those dumb rumours about it really being 8 episodes heh).

http://ova-tos.com/ Note the 4 release dates for the eps and the utter lack of anything else regarding these 'mystery' extra 4 eps that people are hoping for in vain. You could look at the release page as well of course, where they're already advertising their bluray boxset which also doesn't include any mention of additional eps, and really, why would they be releasing a boxset before it was actually finished? They wouldn't. It was basically just a fanservice trip for fans of the game like myself, same as Tales of Phantasia OAV (which was also 4eps incidentally). If you really need extra sources, wikipedia (page contains spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen/played it), ANN, and [url=http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=4548]AniDB all also list it as 4 episodes. Additionally, I think they would've released ep5 by now if it was actually true, given that ep4 was released in December last year and they were all released two months apart. Add to that the fact they've already announced Abyss.... and yeah, I'm in no doubt at all about it being 4 eps and no more. In conclusion, rumours suck. |

The official website now has the link to a PV for the anime... which doesn't seem accessible from my current area... Guess I'll wait for it to be uploaded onto nicodouga or something...
The OP will be the game's, Karma, by BUMP OF CHICKEN... Tch, I didn't really like that song...
