Again, I'm saying nothing here about the actual quality of the adaptation; all we have to go on right now is the visuals, and quite frankly I feel they're inferior to what they could have and should have been. |

If you're just saying you like the character designs from the other anime better than this one... well, that's the job of the anime character designer. I do think it's a bit of a different approach, but it's more a matter of taste.

The only thing here is JC staff's trademark usage of saturated color fills. It somwhat fits, because LB had a very bright palette to begin with, but with the lack of shading, lining, and artistic details that is so typical of JC staff works, it makes it look far worse than the two comparisions you brought up. It still is faithful to the original design though, and across the board, I'm able to tell quite distinctly that it's all Key's style. As it stands though, this is already one of JC staff's better efforts I've seen in awhile, putting it in line, or even above Ano Natsu, and from the PV, the characters looks great in motion, much better than the staunted, choppy animation I'm used to seeing from JC staff. (Although, at this point, it looks to me as if they're merely increasing the FPS. Big anime = Big budget, I guess?) Last edited by com_gwp; 2012-07-29 at 16:10. |

^^ I personally think that all the characters look mildly better. The only one I kind of dislike is Mio. The rest is pretty well done.
I mean for all I knew you people worked JC to be a new Toei... God those drawings for Kanon.... Arturia

I found the animation to be quite good, not at all horrible. I wont be doing any why no Kyoani since that has all been done before. But, I'm not very happy with the style transitions as I'm a huge fan of Itaru's work and see that most of it is lost. Na-Ga's style is also somewhat lost in the eyes.. The style isn't horrible like Toei's version XD. I guess I will have to wait and see what an episode will look like.
Thanks Kaisos for comparison |

And like I've mentioned, they also changed/improved on the proportions of most characters (Komori's uguu face oh thank god ) If you're talking about the lack of lining/shading/details, two things to take note 1) You can't go reasonably comparing VN portraits to an animation still. It's typical for the VN art to usually be a lot more intricate (Subverted, of course, by Kyoani. Multiple times. But I promised not to bring them up here ) 2) LIke I've mentioned before, this is one of JC staff's worse habits in their animations, something which I can't really stand for as well |

Do you want me to say "yes, yes, yes they do"? The biggest difference is that the character designs have a unified look now (which the originals did not), and a style that will be well-suited to animation (which the original was not). Now, whether you like this particular character design's art style compared to others is, again, a preference, but I don't think anyone's been "genericized to hell and back".

I'll just note that I'm not claiming that the Key designs are anything spectacular but when you redesign them and end up with the chins even MORE triangular than you started with you have to expect a few critiques.

The eyes general are smaller than their orignal Key counterparts. But aside from tha they are mostly similar.
Best guess it Kyoani will still have a one up on the eyes department. But as they say, "at least its not Toei".
