Well, if the K-On manga does well and KyoAni is hired to adapt it, then you will see college years stories of HTT (as well as probably Azusa's group's last year of high school). Though I honestly don't know how different the girls will be at Japan Woman's University than they were in their all girls high school. Aside from the fact they are living together in a dorm enviroment rather than all going home each day.

Jokes aside, Noitamina and anime movies with cinematic ambitions show it can be done. I guess it's a matter of convincing the sponsors that there is a market for anime outside of the usual high school setting (not counting shonen adventures). Kodokawa does have a number of Seinen and Josei manga in their portfolio so it could happen at some point for Kyoani. It's true but that was a different era where TV-ratings still mattered, so anime had to apeal to a wider audience. Besides I don't really have an issue with high school aged characters, it's the dominance of the school setting that is so constricting for creativity. Fortunately this season already has a few good alternatives like Stein's Gate and Tiger and Bunny. |

But i expect that they will shows a greater sense of maturity. There's no problems with college students act like high school student sometime, but all the time will be too much. Maybe: - part-time works - private trips - get drunk with their own little party (was it 18 or 20 to drink beer in japan again?)

My guess is Mio would try to act older, as would Ritsu when not trying to slack off or teasing Mio. No clue on Tsumugi....she's alway a mystery (more refined I guess from her upper class upbringing, but she just wants to fit in).
Yui, on the other hand,....will be Yui.

Well... *some* of the reason for the prevalence of high school settings is that for salarymen (or women) in their 20s and 30s --- its NOSTALGIC. It takes them back to a simpler time when the future looked brighter. Adult workplace settings are "bringing work into one's home relaxing time" if not handled carefully. But I do find the lack of college settings a bit surprising ... surely college is fun in Japan. The Japanese college students I know seem to be having a pretty good time - especially in the artistic focus colleges.

I know a number of anime fans who are big seifuku enthusiasts but since they're all female cosplayers I'd be hesitant to take them as a representative sample. I suspect Totoum may be on to something too, BTW.

Older than a Jesusaur, I know. But in a vacuum subject to different artstyles, the uniform makes all the difference. I guess the clothes do make the girl...or character. Actually, look at the bromantic foils from Kanon 06 and Clannad. Literally an outfit-only difference. Quote:

No Grand Prizes given for the 2nd Kyoto Animation Award.
As somebody pointed out on the thread for the news article it's not much of a contest when it's been around for 2 years and still failed to have a grand prize winner. This year they didn't even hand out any cash prizes apparently.....I've honestly never heard of anything like this. Can this possibly go a third year at this rate when it has failed to amount to anything so far? I would say no way, but then again who the heck knows with this company sometimes. |

Also, it's not like the idea of a contest not handing out a Grand Prize award is unheard of. As you can see, it isn't exactly uncommon for contests like these to withhold their awards if there isn't any applicable work. Simply put, they are not gonna give out an award if they don't feel any of the entries are deserving. Out of the eighty or so times the Tezuka Award has been given out, it has only awarded its Grand Prize fourteen times. Similarly, the Akatsuki Award hasn't had a Grand Prize winner in over twenty years. Where's the fanfare and ridicule about that? It's also a stretch to say that it has "failed to amount to anything" considering that they have given out over 18.5k USD in cash prizes and are in the process of publishing one of the winning entries. Personally I think its good that Kyoani is doing something to find and cultivate new talent. I mean, I don't see any other studios holding similar contests. Then again, there aren't exactly many studios out there with the financial stability to be giving away thousands of dollars in cash prizes every year. They have given out awards. What they haven't given out is their Grand Prize. I don't really understand why ANN decided to translate "奨励賞" as "honorable mention". It would be more accurate to call it "encouragement award" or simply "award". |
