Yes! This is promising news. I won't bow down to KyoAni just yet, since Nichijou was another attempt to do something a bit "different" from their usual fare which failed for the most part. How good this ends up depends on the writing and story of the original book.
In before Haruhi fans start crying. We'll definitely get that season three someday, don't worry. |
im one of the ones that were hoping for little busters! or beign too optimistic FMP!, well i hope they get their touch back the one the lost after clannad as.

I will have some expectations for this. Kadokawa anime properties this year have all been met with financial failure, including Kyoani's Nichijou. They want a hit so bad that they dug up some relatively unknown novel from 10 years ago. I guess apparently their more recent titles just aren't good enough for them. The premise itself has hints of a less boisterous Haruhi on it, so in a way this seems like Kadokawa/Kyoani going back to basics(many people have argued that Kyoani is at their best when adapting prose like Light Novels or Visual Novels rather than manga). And I'm not too surprised that they chose such an obscure work, since Kyoani has been known to make obscure works very popular.

Reactivate the hype machine, tune her up and get her going again full steam cause it's that time again.
All jokes about Kyoani's bloated reputation aside, I'm slightly perplexed that this looks nothing like what they typically do and even seems to be focused around a male character, albeit one that is seemingly of the weak-willed and perpetually getting bossed around by girls mold that otaku seem to find so fascinating. I.....assume he's the only one and everyone else in the club are really cute girls? :confused: Also some people probably still find my posts on Kyoani irksome, but I have to ask, do people really need to point out that it's not Haruhi, Little Busters or a Full Metal Panic sequel every single time Kyoani makes an announcement about an adaptation? :eyebrow: |

I'm starting to think that Kadokawa are actually trying to financially destroy themselves. |

Getting back on topic. As I mentioned in the Kyoani thread, it's good to see Kyoani do something completely different other than milking Haruhi or K-on or the next slice of life/comedy (be it 4koma, gag/parody or w/e). However, I'm fairly sure they are going to moeify the character designs in comparison the novel since Kyoani is good at that. |

And you thinking Penguindrum being bad does not mean the whole mystery genre is bad (or the show itself being bad, which imo is far from it). You might not like the genre, but others might :uhoh:. I very much like well-made thrillers/mysteries and since Kyoani has a good track record regarding LN adaptations, I welcome the change. |

Lets all cry now because KyoAni are big meanies who don't give us a haruhi anime every year. :confused: |
@Kaisos Erranon: I've replied to you in the Kyoto Animation general thread. I strongly advise others to carry on their discussion about what KyoAni should or shouldn't do in that thread, so we can keep this thread on topic. Thanks!

I expect this to do as well as another recent LN-based Kadokawa anime: Gosick.
Puzzled at why they chose this as opposed to something that could almost guarantee them a hit. |
Well I see at least two male characters on the cover. A female character and the skirt of a second that may or may not be important to the plot.

Though the fact we're getting a "daily puzzle"-type adaptation rather than something like Incite Mill from the same author means KyoAni didn't stray too far from their current schedule. |

I think we'll never see a FMP sequel this way. Such a shame, cause FMP is their best series imo.
