I have no idea why people here are hype for White Fox doing an adaption of action anime with their low production values. It's not like their only decentish recent show in regards to production values, in Maou sama has anywhere near the amount of action this will have. So unless for some reason this show is given a massive budget.... seriously White Fox been living off that Steins;Gate goodwill for a long time...

White Fox has the advantage of having a rather light production load compared to most studios due to having at most two series per year (they had just gone past their one project a year approach with Super Sonico and Gochuumon), and I think they can handle stuff decently at least.

since the anime ver is right around the farthest corner
aside from the common adaptation fiasco, fillers and butchering... will it we see a titan/claimore and the likes level of brutality? or have it heavily censored on those areas |

Also,since this is White Fox is it possible that Hiroshi Hamasaki will direct this anime?He already has experience with bloody,violent and gruesome manga adaptation,plus he worked with White Fox on Steins;Gate.God,I am already over-thinking this. |

White Fox has some skilled in-house animators so it could turn out to be great if the right staff is involved (though Atsushi Itagaki may be currently busy). The best action scenes of Katanagatari & Maou-sama were handled by these animators and White Fox could also call back Naoto Hosoda for some help as they did for Sonico. My wish is Hosoda as director but I don't think it'll happen Well let's wait for more info...

I don't care if you have a high budget if you have incompetent people using it like Kyoani on Kyoukai no Kanata. As long as the budget is anywhere close to what it was on Maou-Sama, I think they should be fine.

White Fox is great.
Want me to say something really controversial? I hope that they do NOT get a big budget. Why? Because this would only lead to the overemphasis of the wrong aspect of the show. I do NOT want big battle gorefests - the ugly meatgrinder is what I want to see the least. Anything forcing White Fox to tone this aspect down is most welcome with me. White Fox has proven time and time again that they manage to capture the story essence of shows. And for Akame Ga Kill, it's not the "Attack on Titan"-like butchery, in my most humble opinion. The fewer the better. |

The directing itself wasn't poor in KnK but the source material and Jukki Hanada were what sunk that project. KyoAni's production values were the only thing of note of that show. White Fox has a really mixed TV record. Katanagatari was an OVA first off so they got a lot more time compared to their TV series. Steins;Gate wasn't a great looking show but the directing was enough to cover it. On the other hand, Maou was very well directed and very good visually. Jormungand was a mess that's main redeeming value was the source material itself being damn good enough to cover the botched anime adaptation. The gun fights in Jormungand were awful to say the least. So the question becomes who is working on Akame at White Fox and what their schedule is? Akame is a much more action series than Maou which was closer to SOL than anything else. |

That's basically what I was saying. White Fox usually has good direction and can make use of their limited budget. Maou-sama proved this. I thought Jormungand worked well enough with its budget, but it definitely could have used more. Also Katanagatari was not an OVA as far as I am aware, it did air on TV. The difference was that they released a single episode a month, which was much longer.
I referenced Kyoukai no Kanata as an example of bad direction messing up action scenes despite the budget pumped into it.
