| The PV looks nice! Interesting how long the movie will be.. |
 |
| And the character design was butchered by K-on design. R.I.P. Koe no Katachi |

| No it doesnt. Finally we get something unique from kyoani. Its very much them but its a more detailed and realistic apporach from their usually moeblob. |
| Simply gorgeous and I can't wait to watch it. ^-^ I should probably get to reading the manga first though. |

| The Best animation(anime) studio ready to drop some quality once again.... |
| Now that i know the release date...i can't wait ^^ |
 |
| Looks fine imo. I'm still hoping for a TV anime adaptation someday but the designs looks decent to me. |
 |
| i was wondering "wtf ? the animation looks so freaking great ?!" then i saw, KyoAni. LMAO, no wonder why the animation looks great XD well, looks like it will be a great one from KyoAni imo. looking foward to it :D Edit: just saw the source material/manga, 7 vol into one movie ? i wonder if that will works fine.....it's the first time i see that.... i just hope KyoAni will hadle it in a good way... |

| Liked what I saw but I know more or less what to expect. Can only pray they just do the one shot/anime original end. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Looks amazing. I simply cannot wait for this but know that I'm going to have to wait for such a long time for this. |
| This is gonna be awesome!, whenever i watched it in 2017 :\. Oh well cant wait for this. |
it already like that from original source, it's not that different, really. original source already has "moe" style to begin with. the fuck is this ignorancies?  OT: when it anounced as movie, i am more affraid about pace, but looking at the PV, we don't see 2nd part of manga (making movie story), i hope it's good sign that they will not rushed things and adapt first part only instead. adding some filler in between is not harmful. i also don't mind if they go with original ending, since many people (not me obviously) dissapointed with ending. |

| Actually happy about the character design. |
| They absolutely nailed the designs. Now I'm hoping this has an anime original ending since the manga was somewhat disappointing. |
| this looks so great. i haven't read the manga but i'm pretty excited to watch the movie. |
 |
| I love the production team. The scriptwriter of the ARIA series (and other great slice of life series like K-On!, Non Non Biyori, Kimi to Boku, Tamayura etc.), the character designer of some of KyoAni's best productions and the director of great movies such as TLS, K-On! the Movie and Disappearance. I cannot see this anime disappointing me no matter what. This movie is in safe hands. |

| Why the hell didn't they turn this into an anime series instead of Phantom World (a.k.a Otaku Pandering The Anime)?! The manga is short, it's finished, and most importantly IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING GOOD! |
| Wow it looks amazing. Spot on with the character designs, they looks great with very minor changes just to make them look even better. Background art is beautiful as well and excellent animation Comparison:    |

moodie said: I'd like to think anime fans in Japan buy things depending more on how good the show was, but yeah I know what you're saying is true. The only thing they made last year was Hibike Euphonium, I assume that it did pretty well in sales considering how good it was, but then again it's not an original work so that's even more reason KyotoAni needs revenue.[/quote]AvidAnimeViewer said: Because when Kyoani animates their own property they make more of a profit from it.

I heard, KyoAni bought the rights for Hibike from it's publisher. So only Amagi was not their property from the recent KyoAni shows. |

| Designs are ok, I would have gone for harsher features for Ishida though, these are a little too gentle for me. Tevens said: Edit: just saw the source material/manga, 7 vol into one movie ? i wonder if that will works fine.....it's the first time i see that.... i just hope KyoAni will hadle it in a good way... Vol 6 & 7 are a lot shorter than the earlier volumes so it should be fine. They're also what many refer to as the disappointing ending, in many ways because they're so short. Can't imagine the film will do a much different job. |
 |
| I wonder if the voice in the PV is Ishida's. Very much looking forward to this. Pretty sure I won't be able to see it before 2017 though :| |
 |
| This looks really nice ! Now, lets wait till Spring or Summer 2017 for the subs to come out. >_> |
 |
| Lovely designs, and it looks pretty nice. Damn KyoAni, I'm getting excited here. Only thing that sucks is that we have to wait for a while.... |
  |
| Character designs are great. Hopefully it's not just one move >_< |
 |
| Loving the art. The PV was a pretty good teaser,too. Can't wait for the movie aaaaaa |
 |
| Can't wait for this! I need to stock up on tissues. |
| Oh, wow! They look completely lovely! Way better than I was anticipating them to be, to be honest. Getting even more excited for the movie. Just hope they nail the pacing. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| Kyoani are da gods. This looks great, I wasnt a fan of the one shot but I cant wait for this. |

| now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe |
| //EXCITED SCREECHING. urgh i love kyoani legs. |
| If I already started tearing up from the PV, I'll sure as heck be balling my eyes out when this movie gets subbed. So excited for this C: |

Z4k said: They absolutely nailed the designs. Now I'm hoping this has an anime original ending since the manga was somewhat disappointing. Knowing KyoAni I doubt the "romance" from the manga will be made any more explicit never mind Well. maybe you felt the ending was dissapointing for some other reason. |
 |
| Looking really good can't wait to watch this. |
| The character designs look different from most Kyoanis. Looks like something I'll be interested in. |
| Animation looks gorgeous, would expect no less from kyoani. That said I only read the one shot for this and I kinda despise it... It felt too close in a bad way, but I'm still willing to give it a chance |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| I'm happy with these character designs, they ring pretty true to the manga's art, if not better. the ending to the manga was forgettable, so I'll happily watch this. besides, based kyoani... it'll be nice to look at, though I'll be interested to see how a lot of the scenes turn out. a lot of it was really hard to read because of how gut-wrenching it was, especially early on... |
| kyoto animation = shit plot i may watch it for the animation and art |
 |
Kyoani never made this plot, it's a manga adaptation...who's an award winner... |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| I'm really looking forward to this! I've never read it BUT I think the animation is pretty and the small, but interesting, synopsis looks good! |
