Hype does come at a cost, guys. As a Guilty Crown fan, I know this well. If KyoAni wasn't hyped up so high by some of its biggest fans, some of us (including myself) wouldn't hold it to such very high standards. If this was a DEEN anime PV, I'd probably be falling all over myself in shock over how good it looked and sounded, lol. But KyoAni is held to very lofty hype so that will create lofty expectations.

Three minutes was indeed too long for such a trailer. Watch One Off's trailer and you'll notice the difference. (not so subtle advertising)

I have a question about the source content, and if possible answered without spoilers, but exactly how relevant are the mysteries to the plot? Is the mystery solving just a device used to get the characters to grow, or is this a series where solving those cases actually crucial to the story?

That is a fair point. But don't you think, though, that all the auto-hate towards anything KyoAni at least partially outweighs the hype these days? I don't know, but I feel like for every "It's KyoAni so I know it's gonna be awesome!!" I see now, I also see at least one "Urgh, more slice of life moe crap from overrated KyoAni!". Yes, hype comes at a price but I think they are also getting more than their due share of the hate...

Ultimately it is just a PV. The most important thing will be the anime itself of course. If nothing else, "dreamy eyes" is relatively benign compared to non-chronological episode order, music-to-moe bait-and-switch, nice boats, and an endless recursion of time.

Basically when it comes to Kyoani or any highly touted work or episode there are two considerations that affect my reactions to them. One is the hype level generated by the community. High levels of hype and praise typically result in a more conservative and critical style of commentary and low levels result in me being more loose and easy with my commentary and leaving it up to others as a means to assure that I'm actually contributing new ideas to a topic and not just parroting what others have said. The other is my own independent evaluation of thr works merit as I see it and only as I see it which affects numerical evaluations as well as aspects of my commentary. |

I generally don't pay much attention to the hype of others and try my best not to let it affect my expectations and judgement. If i'm ever disappointed then it's because of my own hype. I'd much rather judge a story on its own merits.

This. I facepalm whenever people say that such-and-such movie or anime or whatever is "too hyped" so they don't like it / don't want to watch it. That's just the "it's popular to it sucks" mentality at work. And in my view, it's not all that different to judge something with a harsher critical eye "because of hype". That's still letting other people's opinion color your judgement. Any work should be judged solely on its on merits, regardless of whether or not other people hold it in high esteem.

Maybe we should watch Hyou-Ka in two groups. Group A will communicate with each other as it watches the work episode-by-episode before any final statements while everyone from Group B will be seeing the series independently from one another to see how much isolation can affect our perception of a show. Just a suggestion though.
Now personally I'm expecting this to be better than Nichijou but I don't think that's really saying much...

What weed do people smoke to see hype? If there was hype it had been pretty toned down compared to the past, I guess the fans learned from the past productions of this studio to lower this hype.
Seriously what hype? The first couple of pages have been cautious expectations, RAEG for not animating more Haruhi, MOAR RAEG for looking like K-on, MAXIMUM RAEG for having a boring trailer and a few people trying to give posters informations about the anime and the original novels, thanks to that one guy, we do know to NOT expect CSI or Se7en with highschoolers. So yeah, what hype? The couple of positive impressions that somehow get blown out of proportions by the usual suspects? Oh please. Someone frame this.
