With early production, we are safe to assume that this might be the best looking kyoani series. Remember its not about the budget but about time management when it comes to anime. So if they are taking longer than usual we can all relax and enjoy the high-quality animation. However, kyoani isn't the best when it comes to storytelling, especially their novels. So, I am very cautious in that front.

Somebody posted this on youtube:
Director: Taichi Ishidate (Beyond the Boundary) Series Composition: Reiko Yoshida (Koe no Katachi) Character Designer: Akiko Takase Sound Director: Youta Tsuruoka (he doesn't do the music by the way) They picked the lesser of the three directors from Kyoani to do direct the show since the other two are busy with the Sound! Euphonium movies. I'm a bit worry about this. At least it will look pretty for sure. |

Yui Ishikawa for Violet? that's a good choice, especially for the way how she behaves most of the time.
I have no doubts that Kyoani will deliver something visually amazing with this one, my only concern is how they will adapt this LN, the record of the last years shows that they sucks at it especially with their own titles (Phantom World for example). Hopefully everything goes right. |

It can be a bit off topic so I'll put it on spoiler. Please anyone who do not want to know more about this, don't read it and in case someone is willing to do it, make a LN thread. Spoiler for Opinion:

Fanservice scenes won't be a problem since KyoAni tends to integrate fanservice that doesn't wander off into actual exposure, unless if the source material requires it. Amagi Brilliant Park has some nudity but NO bouncing breasts, but both Musaigen no Phantom World and Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon had tons of bouncing. Hell, even Hibike Euphonium and Koe no Katachi had suggestive camera angles for certain characters.
Minimal character development would be par for the course in a series with an episodic story structure. Now for the overall structure of the story, remember that KyoAni managed to change K-ON, a 4koma manga, into a series with episodic elements as well as an overarching plot about the band and making memories. They can handle the background of the main cast by sprinkling it around the episodic stories and/or dedicate the background to the last few episodes. I personally don't worry too much since they can do good things to the story if they really like it.

While I agree with you I still have my hopes down for this work. To explain myself a bit better, let me recall Phantom World, that LN has a very dark nature in the last part of volume 1 and jumped into something completely dark and heavy on the last 2 ones just to reach some sort of nice ending for everyone, but what did Kyoani with an interesting story filled with mystery and decent plot? turning it into a fanservice harem-ish series that is to this day one of the biggest flops in Kyoani's history.
While K-on! is the opposite you have to consider that adaptation belongs to the gold era of Kyoani, where they really cared about the sources and their adaptations usually improved the story, in a contrast to what you find in recent years they only add fanservice, fujobait, yuribait and anything that panders the audience for no reason instead of having a little bit more of respect for the LN's they use or at least for the authors. As I said before, Evergarden's adaptation can be hard to screw up but Kyoani managed to destroy entire stories in the recent years (not counting Koe no Katachi which was incredibly good and Hibike S2 which I said back in the days, it was really well done) and the Novel itself is flawled but still enjoyable. For what I know they're doing only volume 1 which is the best, volume 2 on the other hand... doesn't really make sense. |

Lol if you consider that it's KyoAni's fault for Amagi Brilliant Park and Kobayashi-san Chi. Shoji Gatoh is known for being a massive perv and Coolkyoushinja writes stories featuring massive knockers.
I'd rather just wait. Although I am really excited, I won't let that excitement interfere with my actual appreciation of the series when it comes.

No way in hell am i going to trust a bunch of rabid fans who waited hours to watch this. Of course, their bias view is going to conflate w/e truth is behind the episode they watched. Not going to make this an anti-kyoani post but that fanbase has proven that they will eat up anything kyoani has to offer.
I'll wait for some more PVs. |

hmm, if that's true, i don't like that they give an explanation for Violet before everything starts. Part of why the first novel is great is because we jump into her story, and pick up pieces of her past before it dives fully into it in chapter 6.
either way, still completely hyped for this.
