Mari Okada. Dear fucking god.
Tari Tari has been doing very well without her presence, why do they want her back :(. |
Should have sweet character designs, so that might be a step up.
But I'm currently allergic to Mari Okada, so I dunno. |
At least the "usual gang" will gathered and focus in one thread now. :D

Well despite the work overload, at least it will look above average. Just don't go overboard with the bad fanservice please. Actually, who am I kidding. This is impossible because of... Quote:
Spoiler for Hyperbole version. Involves profanity. You have been warned:
:heh: :p On a more serious and realistic note, this looks very underwhelming production staff wise so I'm giving it a pass unless either Okada proves herself that she's back from coocooland or a bunch of people can guinea pig this for me. Though I'm going to have to make an exception to the 3 ep rule. Gonna need at least half the series for this one to pass the test since I'm more than well aware of Okada's writing tendecies as of late - i.e. they always trainwreck HARD at some point. |

The director is a frequent collaborator of Okada's,he directed 2 Okada anime: Black Butler and the Book of Bentora, he was also a prominent staff member of HSI directing and storyboarding a number of episodes Okada wrote herself. Should be interesting which of this or Red Data Girl comes first. |

I'm actually interested in Red Data Girl since the premise and staff looks promising for that ... unlike Nagi no Asu Kara. |
So....whats the big commotion about Mari Okada? Feel like a noob asking that......

Best to judge her stuff for yourself and not get involved. |
For some reason PA Works series never have outstanding directors, or at least someone outstanding enough to stand alongside a writer like Mari Okada in terms of influence. A bit of a shame, really.
|
What does the title (Nagi no Asu Kara) translate to?

In fact, JC Staff has two good semi-regular directors despite how infamous they are - Tatsuyuki Nagai and Kenichi Kasai. Cmon PA, they're freelancers, nab one of them! |
Nagai is pretty close to the cream of the crop AFAIC, and I'd love to see him do a PA show - though maybe not with Okada writing it. Although their last collab was obviously a huge success.
I don't know - an Okada original at this point is a pure crapshoot. I do happen to like Buriki's character designs and look forward to seeing them in PA's hands. I'm not that nuts for Okada's work with this director on Kuroshitsuji II (the one she wrote rather than adapted) so my expectations will be muted. |

Ah - Interesting. Hard to draw many conclusions based on that then, since S1 was basically a faithful adaptation until the last few eps.
|
I don't know how reliable this is, but a bunch of people on ANN seem to this might be a one-off OVA project. I'm hoping this is true. Don't want PA to waste time with a writer like Okada.
|
I hope P.A Works will make this show a first attempt at doing mecha things.
