Kyoani and a big scale action focused show has never struck me as a good mix and I'm not just making that statement cause of Munto. I think and have felt for the longest time that Kyoani is a studio that does one particular type of show, for one very particular type of audience, with one very particular type of look (lots of scenes of light bloom, snowy cities, colorful cherry blossom filled parks, blur filters etc) and has come to specialize in it. That type of show is generally this non-threatening, very cute and VERY slow paced ultra laid back but with occasional bouts of frenetic energy romantic comedy styled show almost specifically and meticulous crafted for people that really get into that sort of thing.
And while I may not be into that type of show I have come to acknowledge that they clearly do this sort of thing very well for that particular audience and they always seem to end up satisfied with what they've received. At this stage I don't see why they should jeopardize that. They are a specialist studio, not one of producers that are looking for a blockbusters or something especially cerebral or even something that looks to target a broad variety of demographics and is likely to provoke lots of speculation and discussion.
