Well, it probably can't be worse than the maudlin, boring Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.

Didn't he say that he would quit the anime business if Fractale didn't do well?(which it didn't...)

Plus...I wish there was a second season of Kannagi.

Yamamoto explained that now is the time that anime should commit to reality, and he added that in this moment, anime must reexamine not only human nature and character, but nature and the world as it is. While Yamamoto said that all of his past works have carried an awareness of issues and faith, he acknowledged that anime have leaned towards fantasy and escapism.

However, Yamamoto argued that now is exactly when we cannot look for a world removed from reality through anime. He notes that anime must naturally handle this issue delicately. He needs to think about how to do this, but said that to do so would be a breakthrough lifework for himself and breakthrough work for anime in general.


Wow. That's pretty gutsy. I laud him for his courage, and I absolutely LOVED Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, so this ought to be VERY interesting. I liked Fractale for what it was. It wasn't perfect, but nothing ever is. Very Happy
