What impossible standard? Did you even SEE what they presented last time? An author absolutely has a right to protect his property, rather than sit back and watch it become a dumpster fire. Sure the anime change didn't help things, but let's not shift the blame here. This was a poorly mismanaged production from the get go and the author himself, shouldn't have to step in because the production committee literally didn't know what they were doing. And given the original director was the guy behind the Kingdom anime, i doubt it would have been any good either, given how badly he managed to screw up that simple adaption, adding to the pile of 'great mangas, completely screwed over by a shitty anime adaptations' like Berserk. This whole thing is a mess and the production committee is completely at fault for it, not the author lmao. |

How do you know this was a poorly-managed production from the get go? I'm not saying you're wrong, as I haven't looked into it myself, but aside from the creator, were there any other signs that things were going poorly before he stepped in and said he was unhappy with the work? Again, I don't know whether this is the case or not. If it is, then your statement is right, but if it's not, then you're no more in the right to say it would have been a dumpster fire than the previous poster is right to say the creator had impossible standards. |

Is this what happens when the last part of Shirobako ended up on a bad note?

A couple of things. Jun Kamiya and Kazuyuki Fudeyasu are fairly decent as things go. Considering the likely episode directors, they would've been very appropriate for this adaptation. The initial character designs were very poor, but the decision on scrapping essentially the entirety of the core team was irrational in every way shape and form. Not to mention, the fact that production was already started by they scrapped it means that the author wasn't involved during pre-production and thus didn't actually give the team any reason to stop. No matter what, the author's decision to scrap it was made at the worst time possible, and was done in the worst way possible. If the author doesn't properly supervise the work before letting it go free, then problems are bound to happen. If he truly wanted to protect his own work, then he would've done it far sooner. After all, he would've had the full right to. |

Picky and overprotective? The first key visual was a flaming pile. |

More accurately, this is pretty much what happens during Girlish Number's first half (just with less open authorial annoyance). If you want to spare yourself the pain of seeing the train-wreck unfold, maybe check that show out for a darkly humorous insight as to how this type of fiasco even occurs in the first place. Author, Wataru Watari (the Teen Rom-Com SNAFU writer) was obviously channeling his experiences with disastrous multimedia anime projects when he wrote the script. |

The new staff is still TRASH, especially the director, so....

Yeah, I remember the first key visual was heavily criticized so I am guessing that a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes during the first production attempt that caused the author to reject it. I am starting to think that the issues with the Arifureta anime might be someone at Kadokawa giving the author a bit of payback. I mean even ignoring the decision to skip the first 80 pages of the light novel the first episode had some budget issues which was odd for an adaptation of a fairly successful light novel series. |

Yes, the staff change was necessary.
It was obvious the art was bad, and that the staff allowed it to be so instead of fixing the problem. So they had to go. It is sorry that, apparently, this didn't help the anime much. But just like Hollywood, when a show or movie has production and staff issues they still have issues even with a change of staff. As someone above said, there is only so much they can do with the money they have left. |

I dont gets why anyone gone nuts over early/first visual,theres many case where the 2nd,3rd or more visual were different than the first&it doesnt need any change of staff ,especially changed to director whose mainly doing ecchi anime....unless that what they/the author wanted arifureta to be viewed as,an ecchi title.

Yeah, this was on LN series I was going to try if I liked the anime. Seems like I shouldn't even bother, and just move onto something else instead.

Or you could forget that the anime even existed and just try reading the first volume to see if it's your liking. |
