So... what do we have here? I am amazed. Plot looks not really so interesting for me, but Yamakan, Orito and Maeda? This should be awesome!

edit: Thanks goes to Aizu.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it, actually.

Odd, that.

She doesn't have Haruhi's boobies.

Wasn't there this old joke about the entire staff of Key having a fetish for flat chests?

Would explain Loli Busters...

I can't help but wonder if Jun Maeda was ever actually planning to quit

First he was. Then he came back to do Saya's route anyway. Then he came back to do QC for Rewrite... and now this? Can't seem to keep the guy away! Not that I'm complaining.

I suppose I can understand them splitting manpower if it is a VN though - get Naga to do this while Itaru does Rewrite, get Maeda to do this while the Rewrite writers are moving really slowly. Wonder who they'll get to do the music though... hopefully not the horribly mediocre Little Busters composers.

I am probably going to be shot down by saying this, but I'm not getting the vibe that this is a new VN title. I was reading through the Kagikko blogs and noticed that they also did a little bit of digging and found that the website domain belongs to Sony Music Entertainment - which is weird considering Key Sounds Label is the group responsible for Key music. Also the collaboration with Dengeki G's?

Well the G's issue due to be released in a few days isn't saying what it is either, unfortunately. They want people to guess what it is. I'm fixing my hopes firmly at zero until further notice, anyway. It'll probably turn out to be something boring, and I don't want to have got my hopes up for nothing.

Isn't that the shopped picture? I was sure the original character art had her with green eyes (too green in my opinion)

The last light novel had some kind of branching/routes to follow (even though in paper format...), will they make it into VN fomat this time

?

No way...

They didn't say it's a game yet though. Besides, it being a collaboration with Dengeki G's Magazine makes a light novel, manga, or reader's participation game likely.

Apparently it's going to be an anime and the Haruhi resemblance is likely on purpose, lol.

I can only say two things about this:
1. I'm totally gonna watch that,
and
2. YAY, a Key-story which I can't possibly be spoiled about!

It sounds like shit, but it's Jun Maeda so I'll watch it.

Even more so if A-1 is doing the animation.

Yup, you pretty much summed up my first impression, lol.

boggart · 2009-05-28, 05:12

The whole premise of this anime seems a bit weird... but let's see what happens.

plmko · 2009-05-28, 05:59

Firstly why this and not Little busters first?

Also I find it amusing that the "dead" are wearing school uniform. Do the gods have that kind of fetish?
