| Fall = greatest anime season ever. |

noyoureinsane said: The people deeming it shit already aren't thinking logically. Fear of it being shit, however, is logical.Still, it's not fair to just assume that the entire anime will be terrible because of it. I'm not familiar with any of the source material of their adaptions, but I do know that they have been criticized a lot for these. It's okay to be nervous about the adaption, but to just deem it off as "it's going to be shit" like some people have/are before even airing is pretty unfair to the anime itself. I'll admit, I'm a bit worried myself about how this'll turn out considering my own bad experiences with them (Ano Natsu, Zero no Tsukaima, etc.) but all the intense hate on the adaption already is just, well stupid in my opinion. Most of the "intense hate" is directed at J.C. Staff themselves, as well as the fact that such a hugely important adaptation was dropped in their hands to make or break. I guarantee there'd be nothing but hype if a studio that has consistently proven their competence (KyoAni, P.A. Works) had it instead. Radzeer said: Just because something in the source material sucks doesn't mean it will still suck in the adaptation. Take Usagi Drop for example. The adaptation improved on the manga vastly just by omitting the second half.Since you asked nicely, I will answer. I wasn't talking about the anime, when I said the routes are badly written. It's the VN, the source material that is badly written. If the source material is badly written, how can the adaptation turn out good? That can't be improved. The only good part of the VN is Refrain. The dating sim routes are mediocre if not terrible (like in the case of Haruka). Yvese said: This is the only hope I have for it not being terrible. If J.C. was just allowed to have free reign over it, I would have never held onto hope at all in the first place. I can only hope Key is riding J.C.'s asses hard enough to make sure they can't possibly mess it up.Key was working close with them IIRC, so they can't possibly mess it up. noyoureinsane said: This is just plain false. They ARE better than like 90% of animation studios out there, but there is still a significant number of other studios that are strictly consistently better in terms of animation. Saying they're better than "pretty much any studio when it comes to animation" just isn't true.You're looking into it way too much. KyoAni does better then pretty much any studio when it comes to animation, it's not really fair to compare the two. |

| Honestly it sounds like JC Staff is actually going to try with this one so I'm more than willing to give them a chance |
 |
| Well, I think it's best to just see how this adaptation turns out. I do know, though, that I'm going to go for the visual novel first just in case JC does do a bad job and all. If that corrupts my opinion of the anime, so be it. |

| I've been waiting since Clannad for this and the trailer didn't make me excited. I should be disappointed but, sadly, I was expecting this. I know it's kind of off topic, but I think this is a good time to ask: I'm watching To Aru Majutsu no Index, I didn't read the light novel, and I've seen many people love that anime.... Is it something amazing going to happen at the end (I'm at chapter 17)? Do people like it just because of the novel? Is this Naruto-style fandom (regular anime over-hyped)? Did I miss something!? |
| Wahooo new anime by Jun Maeda :) |
| I've yet to see what's with all the hype with this series, but then again, I've never played the VN. Guess I'll have to wait and see. |
| Today is a good day Haganai gets a second season, Hentai Ouji is confirmed for an anime adaption, and now this Today really is a good day |
 |
| YESS cant wait for fall!!! |

|
| ccant wait to see what all the hype is about |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| This october will be fabulous :D |
 |
| yea it was a good VN, hope JC does a good job |
 |
| Fall line-up just got a whole lot better. I'll try not to set my expectations too high for JC, but I'm still so excited for this! *crosses fingers* =^^= |
| I'm still not convinced after seeing the PV. J.C. Staff will have to pull a huge white rabbit out of their hat to make this work imo. And Yui Horie as Riki? Why not make him even more female and let Aki do her Yui voice on him. I hope Horie will at least try to sound manly. That way there's at least one thing better than the VN. |
Tayau said: I agree, the original designs were not exactly "the epitome of greatness" or anything of the sort. They were pretty average all things considered.Spierek said: Also, them charadesigns. Just plain awful. Really? They're not significantly deviant from the original designs in the VN. |
 |
| Good news that it will aired sooner. The animation looks okay for me, i hope JC will keep the animation quality and don't mess the story. |
| A few more months... can't wait to see if it's good :D |
| Don't worry, if J.C fails, just play the game. It's awesome. |
| I hope Kud gonna kick some doubter's ass... Can't wait for it |
Ozaki said: zeroyuki92 said: VioLink said: If Clannad is about family, the main theme of LB pretty much is about friendship. maturation, mostly Friendship is so cliche, no doubt it was part of the message of the game, but it wasn't the main thing they were trying to get across. Like you said, it's about maturing - becoming independent, and being able to move on despite all the hardships you'll have to face. This preview gives me hope though. I really hope JC Staff can pull this off, even though it's a tall order for only one season. |

I really hope JC Staff can pull this off, even though it's a tall order for only one season. Well, the problem is that "a process to be an adult, moving from hardships" sounds a little spoilerish for me, so I don't choose that and pick the initial theme instead. It's like describing Clannad with But it may be me who thinking too much. Not that I have reached Refrain, anyway. Finishing multiple routes before Refrain is LONG orz |

I agree, and I actually prefer these character designs over the originals. The original designs were a bit inconsistent anyways since the art was split between two designers. Can't wait for October, it's looking good to me. |

| Holy shit! Now this is some good news! Now I can't wait till October |

Nunnanation31 said: The fact they couldn't go into the parts after Tomoya dates them means that they discarded the route. ALl they kept was the backstory of Tomoyo and the initial part with Kyou trying to shove Ryou into Tomoya's arms. Beyond that everything else from those routes is non-existant in the anime. In fact, most of the meat from the Visual Novel's routes is non-existant even IN THE SPECIALS, because they're 30 minute episodes.Radzeer said: noyoureinsane said: I know the souce material. The filler arcs/routes are badly written and they will take up 80% time of the whole show IF they are going to be adapted - and according to the last trailer they will be adapted. And they'll have to rush the best and longest part of the story. They could have easily discarded some routes, like they did in Clannad S1. I'm guessing you're referring to Kyou's and Tomoyo's arcs, which were not actually discarded. Those arcs were there, but had many things taken out, and were therefore much shorter. From my understanding, this was because much of what happens in those arcs required Tomoya to date someone other than Nagisa, and you can't have an anime with the main character dating 3 characters at once (or you can, but that sounds terrible). I think this is why they released those 2 alternate world specials. Also, as others have pointed out, the opening sequence to Clannad S1 had scenes from Clannad ~After Story~, so there's still a good chance that Refrain will have its own season. |

| I never got to play the Visual Novel, so now I really want to watch the anime, a lot of people said that the VN was really good! |
if you told me we were dreaming, i would pinch you to prove we're awake.  |
| I'm just going to stop myself from trashing and bashing J.C Staff (since I hate them for a lot of bad adaptations of mangas I loved to pieces) and wait till the anime airs. I mean, it could look worse... And Yui Horie as Riki is a really interesting choice~ (I would prefer Tsubasa Yonaga, but whatever...) |
| I'm the king... of Fujoshi Land!! |
| The VN is indeed awesome. Looks like JCStaff is taking this seriously. I'm pretty excited about this anime. |

| Didn't expected this. Now i can't sleep lol. Always love Noumi =D. |
 |
| It's good to note this would be her second time working in a Key anime (first would be Tsukimiya Ayu from Kanon I believe, uguu xD). Maybe I should do a fanart of Ayu-chan and Riki then? :D Anyway, I like Yui Horie's voice, and I think she can do that role. (Thanks god it's not Mirai Nikki's Yuki's VA D:, I just don't like that voice) |

| I think it looks great. Why is this anime so hyped already though? Is it based on something else? |

kanon-chan said: Wow!!! Ayu as Riki ~uguuu!~ Now that will be interesting. I think that's quite interesting... |

| Honestly speaking, I just want JC to be consistent across the entire series without major fluctuations in production quality. Does anyone know if JC is doing 3+ shows Fall season? |
