I don't think it's the studio that makes much of a difference here. AIC Build is just responsible for the animation, and they did a pretty good job on Oreimo and Haganai. I suppose if there's cause for concern, this will be the Director's first full production, though he has worked on a wide variety of shows over the years (everything The Big O to Haganai and KgNE). The lead writer is a pretty decent choice for this genre, having worked on ef, KgNE, and the more dramatic episodes of Shuffle. All in all, I think it's a pretty reasonable crew, and I think it has potential to be a decent romantic drama (with a good side of school life/politics).

I'm not saying it's going to suck or anything, but in the hands of a more attractive studio I'd be looking forward to it more... We'll see though.

This looks promising, good staff and I like the designs. Been a while since I've seen a good eroge adaptation too. I wonder if they are going to do this omnibus like Yosuga no Sora.
Still waiting for Devil on G-string, I'm amazed they haven't adapted that yet.

Obviously I don't know what they'll do for sure, but based on the original game and assuming this will be a one-cour show, I would bet on a linear route-merged adaptation in this case. It's a story that revolves a single event, so omnibus would mean a lot of repetition. I also think that merging the routes could add some additional tension/drama, and I expect that given the writer they have on board (again, his genre history: KgNE, ef, and Episodes 19 & 20 of Shuffle... almost nothing but drama).

As for merging character stories: This might work depending on which route they decide to focus on (if at all). Technically, Isara's plot points (without the romance) could work on any route due to the focus on the student president election. Satsuki maybe to venture into the matters between her sis and she. Mifuyu? Please not. Drama overload/overkill Michiru: No idea, her route was too confusing with my low-level jp. knowledge. The animation visual does look good, imho. I will probably wait in which direction the anime goes once it starts in July before deciding whether to watch it or not. Strangely, I had absolutely no problems with Ef's and most of Shuffle's drama. Heck, I loved Ef overall. /OT |

I think we'd have to go to the game thread to get into any specifics of how the story could be told and the routes could be merged, but I guess it was only to say that I really can't imagine omnibus in this case, even though that likely means they'll pick one route over the others. The only thing I hope is that they don't try to create an "every route" with no romantic ending, as that would just annoy me greatly.

Anyways I like the art for now. AIC is a studio that I'm neutral with. Haganai was okay and Wandering son was fantastic. But they did Oreimo which was kinda bad. Someone get Mari okada to adapt this and turn it into a pervy angst fest . /troll Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2012-03-29 at 20:00. |

Daaamn. Those were some nice character designs. See that's how you do moe! Not frakken chipmunks.
Although the plot could still suck since its a VN adaptation and those don't have the best reputation for quality. Then again, Mashiro-iro Symphony was decent (although not excellent). I'll just expect that I'll watch this for da visuals Guilty Crown style :3. Keeping expectations low. Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2012-04-01 at 21:47. |
