What if the reason KyoAni turned down the Little Busters job, was because of the reception they got for Endless Eight? |

I never said anything about staff or whatever? I don't even know who J.C is! I'm crying due to cheer, uncontrollable joy that my all time favourite VN is finally getting an anime... |

I'm very sorry for being a hypocrite, but I don't know how I read that quote. I thought he whines, but after re-read it, I learned he cries for joy. I just hope I won't be a hypocrite anymore so everyone can like me.

Well, as we've seen a lot of people seem to have absolutely no faith that JC Staff can possibly do the story justice... Personally though, while I am also a bit disappointed that KyoAni isn't the studio behind it, (What with Clannad being my all-time favourite series and I think all the Key/KyoAni-series both looked gorgeous and had a fantastic atmosphere, they just set such a high standard that I'm not sure an adaptation by a different staff would be able to live up to it) I'm still happy that we're getting an anime at last, and I'm definitely still looking forward to this.

Finally finished clawing my way through a good 15 pages of posts since I last came here! It's been interesting to see how the discussion has evolved.
In response to your post, Mura, hearing Shimada Michiru's experience with Little Busters made my grin silly, and gives me that bit more hope in this adaptation. That quote from Rita seems to indicate that she'll be re-singing the themes for the Anime. Interestng..!

However, I don't think they changed the vocal track at all, so that wouldn't explain that implication...

Since Key's anime titles have been idolized as being some of the best VN adaptations, they wanted to have more publicity with Little Busters as soon as possible from a marketing decision. I imagine being told "We're working on something else" over and over again began to get frustrating and as such, they decided to go with a new production committee with Warner Brothers/J.C. Staff. Perhaps KyoAni/TBS/Pony Canyon would be free next year if no more K-On! were to be animated, or perhaps those three have decided on another title that wasn't Little Busters, but Key chose not to wait and hear "we're working on something else" again.

If you read through the lines of the bits quoted (by Mura) above, it paints a pretty clear picture: back in the day, Key didn't know what it took to make a good anime, so they had to give their trust to the top experts in the business. (Keep in mind that even Toei was one of the most-respected anime studios at that time; they never went "small fry".) And now, having been through that experience many times, sat through all those meetings, and seen first-hand what works and what doesn't, they're now in the position where they can be the experts and tell others how they want things done. So this is why they feel they no longer need to depend on KyoAni's help (and other studios can handle it), because they have a pretty good idea of what KyoAni would do by now and can apply a little more force from their end to make sure things get done the way they want. This is all actually good for the industry, because it means that, gradually, KyoAni's techniques for adapting stories get spread to others, and the overall capability of the industry goes up.

Ok, I'm overjoyed that my favourite VN is getting an anime...however I wonder about how they'll go about it.
I know this may have been discussed before, but I'm not going to read through 40 pages to find out D: Anyway, in VNs like LB you usually have: 1- The game has a true route. In which case the anime follows the common route and the true route, giving only as much focus on the other girls as necessary. 2- The game has no true ending, only multiple endings for each love interest. Here the anime usually follows the common route and then either goes with the harem ending or goes with the girl closes to the MC or most popular girl. LB is different...because while in other VNs, each route ain't canon, in LB each route are actually canon. It is actually explained in refrain how it all worked and while the other routes DID happen. The game is too big...so...are they going to ignore the other routes, show the common route, Rin routes and then Refrain? Will they change the plot to fit number of episodes? Will they even touch upon the VN's plot? I'll admit that I wouldn't mind if the anime was like the 4-koma, just short stories after refrain...or something. |

To go into more detail or speculation probably requires game spoilers, so should probably be discussed in the game thread and not here (which is a spoiler-free zone).
