If you ask me, I think some fans are worried about a paradigm shift that's going to occur with the type of anime being produce from here on out. Have you ever noticed every time KyoAni produced a real hit, they've more or less solidified a trend? All those Key adaptations proved you can produce a solid work based on a VN; the Haruhi Suzumiya series jump started light novel anime adaptations; K-ON brought forth lots more moe-induced shows especially ones based on 4-komas.
I bet they're afraid if Free does become a real hit, there's going to be a lot more bishounen-filled shows in the next couple seasons. Not next season though because that one is surprisingly more bishoujo-filled despite Free being premiered then so enjoy your summer season while it lasts!

pfft...the real thing that solidified VN adaptations was Shaft and Ef
Even so, it isn't as if a single season is overrun with such trending themes and nothing else. Quote:

True, there are shounen shows like Magi and Hunter x Hunter that tend to end up being fangirl favorite as a by-product. I guess putting it conversely, they're afraid there's going a huge decrease of titles featuring mostly/all-female casts which I find rather dubious.

anyway, I agree with whomever said this: If the series is a success, then it would be pretty cool to see the cast at Rio for the following season. Quote:

Design wise, the main kid and Miyano's character are kind of cute....but everyone else looks generic to me.

A sudden rush of new employees for DO won't happen just because they've moved up in the credits list. What might happen is that they're more involved with the production of this series than they've been on previous Kyoani shows (well, they already are, since the chief director is from DO). Perhaps, some staff members will be promoted to animation directors or unit directors over at DO. |

Though one has to wonder if visible muscle is even possible on primary school children, as was the case in the source material.

Muscular males have always been prevalent in KyoAni shows. Kyon has a six-pack and Houtarou somehow has abs of steel despite being a lazy guy.
Sagara was one of the few that made complete sense. Cheers.
