Even the game isn't particularly clear on what you have to do to actually get the good end. Sure you get a small animation with the orbs at the end of each route but that's about it. As a game player you're left just almost as clueless as a watcher of the show and imho the adaptation benefits quite a bit from downplaying that particular mechanic (that was still there btw, it was just very subtle. Heck, I remember people counting the orbs to figure out the ending on these forums).

I still think CLANNAD would have come out better pursuing a more omnibus format (like the one utilized by Amagami SS) with an overlapping arc containing Nagisa's route. It'd be somewhat similar to the current structure of the show but it'd make it quite a bit better in my opinion.

They also overextended the Fuuko arc far too much, and at times did a bad job of adding in some of the filler. Sunohara Mei's appearances also felt awkward.

And back to Hyouka:

The OP information has leaked and now we know the title and singer. Hyouka's OP, Gentle Reason (「優しさの理由」/Yasashii Riyuu), will be performed by Chouchou, the performer of the Kamisama no Memocho OP, the Mashiroiro Symphony OP, and the The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky ED.

The single will be released on 5/2 by Lantis.

This for some reason gives me this Clannad feeling. Heck I wonder how this will turn out to be.

Im guessing this will be a 24+ for only one season... I dont think it has what it takes to have 2x 24ep. im just assuming, well see how it goes ill all excited!

Is it horrible that I misread that as Gentle Jena?

But, Chouchou, eh? She hasn't gotten much work, but she's up and coming.

Well Tomoya and Sunohora seiyuus are doing the male leads while Ritsu and Yui seiyuus are doing the female leads. This should be very interesting.

You can tell that Kyoani stick with the same seiyuus. plus the best ones too!

Ithekro · 2012-04-02, 13:41

You know what is weird? Satomi Satou who played Ritsu is playing the long haired girl with the unusual eyes (Eru Chitanda). I'd have figured she was the other girl who is played by Ai Kayano who is new to a KyoAni production.

Aki Toyosaki (Yui) isn't is this from what I can see. But Yukana ("Tessa" Testarossa) and Satsuki Yukino (Kaname Chidori) from Full Metal Panic are in this.

Hmmm. anime news network needs to update then.

Fabrice · 2012-04-02, 22:18

The staff behind it are quite good Takemoto, Yasuhiro as director and Gatoh, Shoji as series compositon

Yep, that would've been Gatoh's call on that change... and he had to make a new beginning to fix the mess Gonzo left with their season 1 ending.

With just over two weeks to go, KyoAni updated their site today to feature many character designs and an updated blog entry. All of those sheets of paper in the blog entry are the frames for the scene where Eru turns around as the camera enters the room at the start of the PV/CM.

New Characters:
Irisu Fuyumi (Yukana)
Eba Korako (Yuuki Aoi)
Zenna Rie (Toyosaki Aki)
Zenna Kayo (Ogura Yui)
Nakajyou Shunya (no seiyuu listed)
Haba Tomohiro (Abe Atsushi)
Sawakiguchi Misaki (Ise Mariya) (I goofed and put her name as Owakiguchi previously. Sorry for the mis-transcription.)

Edit: The gallery was also updated with production sketches for various objects.

OceanBlue · 2012-04-05, 19:58

Wow, they really are getting a big cast for this. It's always nice to see material related to production too.

I like all of the guy's bags.

Peanutbutter · 2012-04-05, 20:10

What a cast so far. Clannad + K-On + other big names.

Kyoani's really bringing the big guns out this time. Really forward to it.
