FINALLY I have come across a series next season that I am actively interested in! Course, I tend to like a lot of things produced by KyoAni, so I'm biased too....

It's all relative!
That aside, seeing the initial synopsis gives me the impression that this could be potentially good. I don't think Kyoani has ever made a straight romance work. All their KEY works barely had any physical intimacy and were more centralized around other themes, and things like Haruhi that's definitely not the central topic. In a way this is different from anything they've done so far if I am reading it write, which makes it inherently interesting. Of course there is still something else I'd rather them make, but alas I shall wait some more.

For some reason that first character art rrw linked reminds me more of family friendly ghibli more than kyoanis usual "exaggerated" moethestics. And IIRC ghibli has a fascination over young girls (unsexualised ofc). The second pic tho is glaringly obvious kyoani intended to cause people who fall for its cuteness to get a heart attack . Nope doesnt work on me. I quite like the first pic tho. Hoping the actual anime actually does take the more "natural" approach rather than the gag centric, slapstick/overmoe style that kyoani (minus hyouka and haruhi movie) have been doing.

Between this show, and Chuunibyou, KyoAni's new direction is clear. They want to expand away from adaptation work and towards anime originals. They also clearly want to be constantly doing new IPs. This anime will be their third straight new IP, and their fourth straight new IP excluding movies. Little Busters! went to JC Staff after three consecutive KyoAni/Key successes, and there's every reason to think that occurred due to KyoAni wanting to end the partnership, not Key. So KyoAni has shown a willingness to completely break away from the successes of its past, and wants to greatly expand its new IPs. It's not at all certain that KyoAni will one day do more Haruhi, and I really think it's for the best if people start accepting that. Now, as for Tamako Market, the plot for this show certainly sounds promising, and it's a virtual guarantee that the visuals will be great. And like yourself, I'm intrigued at the prospect of actual yuri in a KyoAni title. In what looks to me to be a decisively weak Winter 2012/2013 season, this show is a much-welcomed addition and will likely stand out in a big way.

Spoiler for Tangent topic:
Are we sure this will be 1cour? Also, if Animax is airing it the 30 of January, what would be an estimate for the first airing on MX? There's too little time until the show airs, I want some CMs already! |

Like yourself, I really want to see a CM for this. It does sound promising. And looking long-term, it's probably good that KyoAni is trying more anime originals. With anime originals, you get a complete story in one go, and there's less of a potential issue in finding time to adapt more of a story.

We could see another CM as early as tomorrow if there's one prepared. We saw the CM for Chuunibyou just under a month prior to airing. I imagine more airing details/show details will be out around the time of the Newtype interview with Yamada.

I suspect part of it is that some people are annoyed that the company seems to be working in (what they see as) a niche that isn't where they personally would prefer their talent be used instead. The fact that they're successful at it only makes it less likely they'll move away from what they're doing and towards whatever else the person would prefer they work on, hence it increases the resentment. (Of course that's just one possible reason, and doesn't apply by any means to everyone.)

Spoiler for Haruhi rant:
That aside, I'm not sure if Guardian_Enzo's comment was meant to be especially critical. It should be noted that Guardian Enzo had plenty of great things to say about Hyouka.

[mod edit: removed connection to removed post. The first paragraph below is talking about Hyouka.]
I didn't give it a fair try since none of the characters were appealing to me personally, the character designs even less; though the Kyoani brand name just hasn't been relevant for me for quite the while. Not really into their latest work, though they have done some nice stuff in the past and I think they can satisfy their own niches. Intrestingly, I haven't even delved into Chuuni, though honestly I might like that. But yea, they're no longer the super buzz of the month that you'd flock to see the commotion these days. What is it these days? Shaft, A-1, and Sunrise? Still anime original is anime original, and although Kyoani isn't famed for that (at all) I would still like to see if they'd create something more interesting than Munto. Also, Haruhi is going the way of FMP, true story. Maybe JC staff can take them over as they did with Key, lest it be 2054 when Starcraft 4 comes out, Kadokawa finally develops some shred of human decency and the next Haruhi anime is announced. At least the rage there would be nice to see.
