This feels like its gonna be really bad, i mean im mainly saying that cause A-1 pictures are god awful and they will find a way to fuck things up, but also just cause it sounds like it will be pretty bland. Hopefully not but i wont really hold my breath on this one.

It looks like it has a great deal of potential to fail.

I might try it for a bit of action fanservice.

And here I was wondering how A-1 could manage to make something actually look good.

If The Butcher gets to have fun with this show, you can expect to end up bawling like a little girl five episodes into the show. But since it's A-1 doing their usual thing, the show will still end up looking like shit; as the trailer confirms. It's a shame that such a mediocre studio gets to do so many shows.

Oh and it also looks like the cast changed from the game to the anime. Another shame given the line-up of the former.

I'll check it out but I'm doing it reluctantly given the bad taste Aldnoah Fail left.

I find it funny how A-1 tends to mean such different things to such different people. Some see it as a seal of quality cause they get to adapt a lot of popular works, others like myself see them as kind of bunglers that hog popular licenses that other studios with less overworked staff and more open schedules could probably do more with. That said this looks pretty budget and like they are indeed relying on the Urobuchi and seiyuu names and promotion to carry the day. Honestly I find the original Square Enix models and game engine to look far more graphically detailed and interesting than what I saw in that trailer.

Honestly, I am tired of Urobutcher fanboys dissing a writer before an anime even airs, all because it's not Uro Butcher who is not doing it. Stop treating him like some type of God and everyone else as shit. Also someone like Urobutcher could create BOTH amazing and bad things, I cannot stand people who only stand in the glory of their best works, but put the blame on someone else if the outcome is not desirable. (Aldnoah Zero, Susei no Gargantia).

Uro Butcher is planning this show, that is all there is to it. Whether it turns out good or bad is up to the entire anime staff. Do people even know how many people work to make an anime amazing? It's not just the the planner, there's also the writer, the director and the entire anime staff. There is a whole team of people who makes the show what it is and it could turn out either good or bad. People are already pointing fingers before this anime even airs.

The whole "Urobutcher" thing is for sure getting really annoying. It's like people really do think the guy is utterly infallible and he always has to be the center of attention whenever he's on a project for sure. Granted not that the other staff are even remotely famous but I mean....look at what we're dealing with here. He came up with some scenario concept on the fly for a zany action arcade game which is essentially what his company Nitroplus is there for (they basically entered the anime scene due to a severe writer/content creator shortage as far as I can tell) along with the likes of 5pb and what we get is a smorgasborg of cowboys, guns, Akihabara and some other stuff that appeals to otaku which has been one of Square Enix's aims of late under their whole restructuring along with that school battle RPG thing. Looks pretty cut and dry and like a phoned in pastiche of popular ideas similar to Aldnoah.Zero and what 5pb does.

But yeah I lost a tremendous amount of respect for the guy when it pretty much became obvious that he only accepts questions and discussion on his most critically successful stuff and refuses to even acknowledge people that ask tough questions about some of his less well received stuff and says to ask and blame other people for it and likewise do the same if Psycho Pass 2 doesn't turn out so well and that can't answer questions cause he doesn't identify with the cast or whatever. Very unprofessional and immature behavior. Like he needs to start owning more responsibility for the things he's involved in, especially when he gets big credits and top billing like original creator (Aldnoah.Zero) or in this case original scenario yet just casually ducks out of the limelight when things get dicey.

From the fanboy side of things that's such a convenient position to be in as a creative consultant working out of Nitroplus where people can basically suggest that if something is a hit it's all thanks to the ideas he presented to his contractors and if not it's because the people who contracted him weren't competent enough to live up to his brilliance or whatever it is.

Also IMO his last actual decent anime work credit including movies was Psycho Pass back in 2012 which while not great at least did some justice by it's genre and didn't rely on some form of subversion of expectations for the most part. Everything else since has been either unremarkable or downright mediocre so we'll see where this falls, but I'm sooner betting on the mediocre one given how game adaptations usually tend to go, particularly A-1's.

You know, this sounds truly bad. I bet there are many people who could do as bad as Urobuchi out there with a source, but there's also a chance them doing better. Waving his ass everywhere eventually won't help anyone.

As for the game/adaptation, the premise reminded me a bit of the Edolas Arc, which is the one I enjoyed the most in Fairy Tail. I don't expect "more", I just hope it would be a decent action watch.

well, a-1 pictures as an animation studio is hard to judge since they don't have any inhouse staff in contrast to studios like Bones or GODani. for their projects they always hire differrent people who then use their own connections to get people they normally work with. look at idolmaster, it was basically a gainax/trigger show at a-1. so depending on the staff the animation quality can range from fucking awesome (Birdy, SAO, Im@s) to absolute horseshit like in this case. of course a good schedule is important too.

No. No no no no no. Why always students? The concept seems 'OK', but Jesus, why students? Can't something at least not have a school setting?

Also, more game adaptations. Great. //Sarcasm

So when is Karneval getting a second season?

Edit: What the fuck is up with those character designs?

Why? I don't see what's wrong. It's by Urobuchi. Isn't that reason enough? lol

just saying, urabuchi is only listed as original creator.....he was also listed as that for PP season 2, aldnoah, and suisei, all 3 shows he had no real control over what happened. Bitching/praising him now is just gonna end up being null cause he very likley wont do anything in regards to this shows final outcome

People here say Gen is just attaching his name and shit, but when you play the game it literally has him in the credits under story composition/setting or something. I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote the scenario for the game, but of course an entire anime scrip is a different story so we will see. All I'm saying is people need to calm down with assuming they know everything (but I guess that's MAL).

But I've been playing the game recently and its insanely fun. I'm gonna watch it just off that bases (even though I'm actually in love with Gen's EARLIEST work before he fell off doing anime).
