This adaptation is already off to an ill-fated start. I'm incredibly uneasy about them giving this project to a novice director, and even more worried about the writer for the adaptation.
The only person they really have going for this project, is Iizuka Haruko, who can hopefully make the anime look nice enough to distract us from, what is unfortunately likely to be, a botched anime adaptation. |

The choice of director and scriptwriter is kinda worrisome, but there is nothing wrong with JC staff. Let's hope for the best, don't lose your hope, the anime hasn't even started yet.

I'm going to pray that they don't screw it up.

I'd hardly call him a "novice" director. He's only headed a few shows but he's done other lots of other work related to that. I think you're overreacting a huge amount and I have faith in this. J.C. Staff has been doing great this year so far in terms of anything in THEIR control (Zero had a terrible ending..writer's fault). I'm sure KEY wouldn't hand over such a property if they were not confident in the studio's ability to properly adapt their work. |

character designs http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1338/dengekiva2012sp04.jpg (the kid versions at least) anyway i said this in the other thread but despite maeda supposedly being involved and the original writer for kurugayas and komaris route supervising i still have exceedingly low expectations for this. also does anyone know if anyone translated the interview? or at least the important parts?

I can only talk about how much I hope this won't be a "bad" adaption like some of J.C. Staff's adaption. I best lower my expectations.

He has directed two mediocre t.v. series and one movie that did so bad in theaters that it didn't even get a dvd/blu-ray release. So yeah, despite him not being a "novice", I am a bit worried. If we had Kasai or Nagai (pretty much the good JC Staff directors) then I wouldn't be worried as much. But no, we get this guy. |

The only worry I have regarding this is the director (Kill Me Baby). The one in charge of script composition has NEVER worked for J.C.Staff so there's a bigger chance that this adaptation will not be subjected to "J.C.Staff Original Content". Also, he worked on longer series like Shugo Chara (2 years+26 episodes), Jewelpet Tinkle (52 episodes), and Remi. Regarding the character designs, Okami-san has crappy character designs but Inu Boku has cute character designs so ... this might get anywhere.
I want to know how negative was Japan's reception to this news. Pretty sure backlash is strong. spoiler[The tears in /a/, Animesuki, and MAL are delicious.] EDIT: The news also left out that the show would be "significantly long" (it was included in the message [according to Animesuki's TL]). Though "significantly long" is very vague. Last edited by Ermat_46 on Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:35 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Ah, you're adorable. He's a novice director. Maybe not a novice to the industry, but a novice director. JC Staff has been doing horrible this year and is still notorious or did you miss all the corner-cutting animation in Shana III? They can't handle a budget to save their lives at this point. As for Key not handing over property without being confident in the studio's ability? Go find the original Kanon series. Prosecution rests. |

Yes there is something wrong with them. They, as a studio overall, are usually responsible for butchering adaptations of VNs and LNs by introducing elements not present in the original, ignoring other elements, or just cutting off in horrible places. Not to mention, unless it's Shana or Raildex, the budget suffers terribly because they also take on too many shows at once. You can be at least certain it won't look as good as any KyoAni adaptation. DEEN might have some bad shows, but when they do something right, they really strike gold. JCStaff for the past few years has been mediocre to terrible, or trying to redeem themselves for past mess-ups with Shana III (which might actually be too fast and action oriented) and the slightly-better-than-previous-installments final season of ZnT. And yes, I do mean butcher. Look at their recent Slayers. The old Slayers may not be perfect, but they don't have the irritating parts of the new Slayers in them, mostly in the form of a plush toy. JCStaff's writers and directors just lack the delicacy and nuance to pull off a Key adaptation. Last edited by walw6pK4Alo on Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:38 pm; edited 1 time in total |

During Toei's time, it is possible that Key is somewhat of a little to null presence. It boomed after KyoAni-Key partnership starts. After the success of KyoAni-Key adaptations and the failure of Toei adaptations, they already know what the fans want. That's why after KyoAni, we never get any Toei adaptations anymore.
Was already explained in AS that one of the reasons why J.C.Staff "butchers" is due to lack of time to refine the scripts. AFAIR from the forums, the script must enter several rounds of revision. Due to J.C.Staff taking 6+ shows at a time, especially during Fall season, there is little time for revision, and this must be done EVEN BEFORE animating starts. One of the reasons why KyoAni is good at adapting is that they only do one show at a time, there are more time for script revision. A final draft for a J.C. Staff show might be Draft #2 for KyoAni.

Good point, but looking over what they have done I'm instilled with even less confidence. It's mostly anime for children. The director's exploits could go either way. Last edited by walw6pK4Alo on Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:43 pm; edited 1 time in total |
