Don't know much about the source material, might check it out also :d
Considering you have an Aria forum set, definitely. That's pretty much the same style of stories.
it is not aria, yokohama kaidashi kikou. but yes, both of them still has similiar atmosphere.

Well whoever is producing the show obviously thinks that it does since they choose the staff, although I suppose Shinbou could have gone to the publisher to arrange the production which would mean that he has something in mind.

Either way its too early to make any comments about quality but I'm more intrigued now because its a bit of a curveball choice, it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

The upshot is that SHAFT works tend to sell reasonably well if they're at least decent and they're more likely to produce sequels and complete adaptations than many studios. If it works out well, it could be the best shot the manga has of getting a complete adaptation.


NHK doesn't care about BD sales since they target the mainstream audience instead of Otaku.

and shaft only have monogatari and madoka which passed 10k sales.

Expectations have been lowered right close to the bottom of the barrel for this adaptation now, which is a shame since I like the manga. Shaft was the last studio I was expecting to do a slice of life/drama/game series like this in all honestly.

I was at least hoping for Tatsuyuki Nagai as director (but since it is Shaft, well, that is out of the window…. and here comes Akiyuki Shinobu for my disappointment). Now the only thing left is to know whom the series composition and scriptwriter for this will be. Please let it be someone with a previous and successful experience with the genre.

Also, it’d be great if (just for this one) Shaft would refrain from using their so-called signature visual style.... why? Because this series doesn’t need any of that, and if you think it will make it better, then you clearly have not read or know anything about the source material at all.

I expect this to air in Summer as well.... Again, I’m not eager for this anymore as I used several months ago.

Shaft can do not abstract shit when they need to. They will probably add a bit of flare to things but i doubt its gonna go full monogatari like people are thinking it will.

That being said I do like Shaft quite a lot in general.

Also had some heart palpitations when I read "Studio Shaft to Animate" because I have a list of shows i'd rather have Shaft animate instead of this.

Might even pick up the manga now even though it's still publishing.

> Kyoani.
> Perfect Snoozesider.

Good jokes.

While I do agree about ZNT, it is really because MAPPA is the essence of what made Madhouse good in the first place, but it still was far more approachable and standard work what SHAFT does

Kyoani is as far away from quality or "unique" as it can be. There's no studio more mainstream or homogenized than that. Hell, do you even know what kind of absolute trash they are doing this very season?

If anything, they are complete opposite of shaft - only playing it safe, only catering to otaku crowd, copypasting same show again and again. KyoAni and Key products are half the reason the industry is infested with low quality sol "feel shows".

Hibike showed some promise but it quickly revealed itself as just another Kyoani show complete with "moe girls doing moe things" cliches and the absolutely gross queer-baiting elements.


I am happy its not Kyoani, because that would have genuinely made me skip this.

Did you even watch Hibike ? How is it moe girls doing moe things ? and like their stories or not Takemoto and Yamada are better than any director at shaft except maybe Oishi who didn't do anything in the last 5 years.

And Shaft is "oh so amazing" that they put out unique, uncatering and completely original content because Nisekoi, Koufuku Graffiti and Monogatari are OH SO UNIQUE, UNREPETITIVE AND ORIGINAL.

(PS If you really think this way, please go see a doctor)

Akiyuki Shinbo is a one trick pony. He works once and never again. His "substance over style" formula has been re-used over and over and over again that it's become way too cancerous and normie to be even called unique.

And at least KyoAni LOOKS good. I'd rather have them than still frames, tilted heads, flat backgrounds and CGI classrooms.

wow fai, this is a terrible post even for your standards.

You talk about direction & cinematography and then diss kyoAni for moe designs? Because SHAFT totally doesnt add fanservice, right? And kyoAni's directors are far better in direction & cinematography, just look at hibike, tamako love story, etc

>gross queer baiting elements
if you defend shaft with a phrase like that then the joke's on you. They've been otaku centric & otaku centric for a decade since shinbo joined shaft.

You're probably going to get more than a few "anime is a visual medium" counterarguments for that one.

Again though when the only people leaping out of their skin at this news in a positive way are people loaded up with Monogatari and Fate avatars (I just associate both franchises hardcore fans with manic shitposting and trolling at this point anyway though) and who are well known professed Shaft fanboys who have absolutely nothing to say about the manga and are strictly interested for the potential of more Shaft gimmicks that really says it all about the divide. There really seem to be two camps in anime nowadays, those concerned with seeing the work they enjoy translated to another format in the best and most accurately fitting way possible so as to make the most out of the transition and format changes (this group seems to be dwindling, being marginalized and increasingly drowned out by the year as a result of some recent trends in how animation production is being approached) and those strictly concerned with their favorite peoples styles and quirks being attached to a work regardless of what it is. No studio better exemplifies this clean divide than Shaft, none.

Anyway I'm no fan of Kyoani or their style (what they have to do with this other than a name drop and the BS rivalry thing fans made up for them with Shaft years and years ago I don't know) and think they have a tendency to run things through their own sort of filter badly as well, but I can definitely tell they give way more of a shit about what they are doing on average than Shaft ever will. The very idea that somebody might suggest otherwise is ludicrous to me, but then you have to consider the sources on these quotes here.

I like a lot of SHAFT anime. I've watched their shows all the way back to Tsukuyomi:Moon Phase where you can find the original head tilt. I ADORE Hidamari Sketch and enjoy the various Monogatari. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was awesome huomur and Ef was great melodrama and of course there was Madoka.

BUT I still think that SHAFT and Shinbou is absolutely the worst studio to adapt "3-gatsu no Lion". It's a very gentle understated manga with subtle drama and character development. SHAFT don't do subtle. They do LOUD and funny and melodrama.

Is a really surprising news, but i'm quite happy and excited, i've been waiting for shaft to do something new since way long, so this is a great opportunity.
Like some of you has said, this manga is not shaft style at all, and i thought that it was taken for A-1 or something alike, but i'm expecting a really good job for part of the studio anyways because they usually put an interesting point of view in their animes, although i know is not a sure thing...
So i hope they do a really good effort in this one, please shaft don't disappoint me

we git it, you're not looking forward to it. no need for the pointless patronizing.

you have only seen few shaft anime, thus must have gained a close minded idea of the how studio works.

yes, im pretty sure the head tilts will be there. don't see a big deal about that, do head tilts severely effect storytelling and direction? if that's your main point of opposing this, then that is indeed quite ignorant. i have read a bit of sangatsu no lion and dont mind shaft implementing their style, they are usually faithful as well. it is also pretty much a given that the anime will look beautiful, with extravagant visuals due to having a big name like shinbou behind it.
