thanks for the answer, and i didnt really didnt wanted spoilers, it was just out of curiosity.
im glad that this doesnt have the washed color palette of nichijou nor the sepia paletta of hyouka, and i hope they drop the heavy orquestral BGM they have been having since the haruhi movie, but at least hyoka alreasy shows signs of that.

Well, if you need a Kyoani anime to compare to this one in terms of looks, it's probably Clannad, since the two series share roughly the same staff in the visual department:
Character Design: Kazumi Ikeda Art Director: Mutsuo Shinohara Chief Animation Director: Kazumi Ikeda Color design: Akiyo Takeda Tone-wise, this doesn't seem like it can be as specifically compared to any other single Kyoani work. Maybe a combination of Clannad 1st season with Haruhi? I don't know, I didn't read the novels so I won't say much on this. Hanada is doing the series composition, so at the very least I expect the Chuunibyou aspect and any "serious but not so serious" moment to be well handled. Quote:
The key philosophy of the studio is to do everything possible in-house and to always manage the highest quality they could've done for a given budget and product. This means their schedule is much stricter, and since they won't commit to hiring freelancers or working with other studios, the result is less works per year than other companies who don't mind mixing with each other. I am really expecting to see divergences in their work in the upcoming years, even their staff seems to want something distinct. Quote:

They obviously have a huge capital of money, seeing as they can throw high budgets at A-1 and get a well produced show or two almost every season. If smaller companies like Kyoani or P.A.Works were to try this, they would almost surely fail and become another mediocre producer, because they don't have the monetary resources Aniplex (and by extension, A-1) has. I'm sorry for this long and off-topic post, seems like this discussion is more suited for the general Kyoto Animation thread, and not here. It'd be better if you respond me in that thread and we continue there instead of plaguing the Chuunibyou thread here. |

By itself, A-1 Pictures is simply a workhorse with little sense of identity. |

by beign a division of sony dont really gives them more budget, usually divisions in bussines are made so each one works separately, and in case of a crisis it dont bring the whole enterpise down, Aniplex has a high capital mainly for beign the biggest music label in japan(sony music entretainment in the past), they are now a multimedia company, and a good example of a division its how in the PSX days sony music entretainment published games apart from sony computer entretainment.

No actually this sort of thing always slays me, it really does cause it's just so typical. Look I don't know if I can say other studios are as consistent, but then very few studios have the business model where their staff never changes and they focus all their energies on one show at a time so that everything always ends up looking kind of shiny but ultimately very similar. They don't even usually have the same directors and animation teams so much as what they can assemble, but you can usually get good art/animation direction out of them cause they usually hire pretty well. In this deparment I like Madhouse quite a bit. I actually don't want this too get too far off topic though so I'm going to leave it at that. |

Anyway since I want this post to be somewhat on topic I'll say that I read the latest plot summary for this and it sounds very familiar again. Sarcastic know it all male lead can't help but get roped into the whims and quirks of eccentric cute girl thus disrupting his ordinary life. Kyoani really has favored that angle over the years it feels. Haruhi, Hyou-ka and now apparently this. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2012-07-31 at 14:19.

Okay, let's get back to the topic at hand, namely Chūni-byō Demo Koi Shitai!. If anyone feels the need to discuss Kyoto Animation itself, we do have a thread for that.
For the foreseeable future, studio discussion will be considered off-topic and will be deleted on sight. Thank you. |

nonsense... every thread of kyoani/key shows is a general kyoani thread since I think everyone of us is lazy to click and dump our rants heated intellectual discussions in that war-torn hostile civil and democratic thread. :P
j/k Anyway, thanks for the translations for those scans. I wonder what they'll insert here. That anime original character's description was full of what and it's like Hyouka all over again. Looking forward to seeing a PV soon enough. |

The one singular thing I'm expecting out of Chuunibyou is good animation, especially since the premise allows it. They can do the ever improving low key realistic character acting they're known for, and they can go all out in the chuuni delusions of the characters by presenting their imagined "battle shounen" world.
I don't know how many budget and volition Kyoani will put on this, but I'm hoping for good sequences, since the overall visual aspects (besides the potentially good frame animation) don't look like they will be anything new or daring, and I've already seen this staff together many times in Key adaptions. That said, I'm also hoping (although with more caution) for the original segments to be well scripted, so that I can see how the studio manages these things on their own, since I've always wanted Kyoani to make an anime original (Munto doesn't count). Perhaps if this is a success they will be less scared of doing an original (maybe for TBS?). Anyway, I'm not really having high expectations of the comedy parts or the romance in general, but at the very least I hope for enjoyable characters. |
