Kids on the Slope is the name at the end of the trailer on the site, eh?
The trailer gives a much different picture than just the first chapter of the manga, admittedly.

This guy looks totally enthralled doesn't he?
An anime directed by the Watanabe himself is definitely a must see. I don't think he's done a coming of age story before so I wonder how that'll work out. Yoko Kanno for the music is just icing on the cake.

The first ch of the manga does explain a little why he might look like that, if curious.
But yeah ... he is not the most cheerful looking person in that pic, is he?

It's been way too long since I last watched a show with Yoko Kanno behind the soundtrack.

As for him doing more shows often ... well, as much as I'd love to see that, I honestly think that with Watanabe, it's more of a case of taking his time to prefect his craft, so I'd rather him just stick to what's he's doing (a new show every decade or so)Now, being someone who considers C to be a disaster, I'd agree with you ... however, I honestly think that Nakamura had proven himself (at least, to me) more than enough to not hold that show against him, much like I don't hold how Blood-C turned out against Mizushima-san. It was one mistake, a single black dote on an otherwise impressive resume.

Yeah, this isn't pushing any of the usual buttons so I suspect weak sales to say the least, so it'd be nice to see two cours up-front. Maybe Watanabe-sensei's presence will be enough to get that commitment.

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime of all time. But without Watanabe's directing style, it wouldn't have been nearly as cool (I didn't really like the manga). He turned something that should have theoretically been just decent into something spectacular (sorry if that didn't get through well). Same thing with Samurai Champloo. Another of my favorites, but Watanabe was a contribution to that as well.

I just hope this doesn't go to the shounen-ai route, with guys falling in love with each other...
I hope there is normal romance or no romance at all. I trust, obviously, on the staff to do an awesome adaptation...but I never read the manga so I don't know what to expect here. The trailer looks awesome though. Last edited by leokiko; 2012-01-27 at 01:07. |
