 The Key, Aniplex, and P.A. Works new project press conference unveiled a new anime titled Kamisama ni Natta Hi (The Day I Became a God) on Sunday. The original anime series will debut in October 2020. Screenwriter Jun Maeda—known for titles such as Angel Beats! and Charlotte—is credited as the original creator and scriptwriter for the new anime. Illustrator Na-Ga (Angel Beats!, Little Busters!) is in charge of the original character designs. A special program for the new anime will air on Tokyo MX on May 24 at 8:30 p.m., which will reveal more information. The anime series centers on Hina, a girl who awakens as a God and foresees the "end of the world." She chooses a lone boy as her companion, who will spend time with her till the very end. The new anime project marks the third collaboration between visual novel studio Key, animation production company Aniplex, and animation studio P.A. Works. The first collaboration, Angel Beats!, aired in 13 episodes in Spring 2010. Charlotte, the second collaboration, premiered in Summer 2015.

| 2010, 2015 and finally 2020! Wonder team for many, I imagine. Pretty cool teaser there too! I'm looking forward to this myself despite not necessarily being the biggest fan of the previous two works. Edit: Synopsis (I think) is out! https://twitter.com/kamisama_Ch_AB/status/1259426599708979200 Come to think of it, I saw that Charlotte is getting a new Blu-ray release disc slated for later this year this morning. Sounds like a fine idea from the creators to rack in some extra cash and late recognition too, I suppose. https://twitter.com/RanobeSugoi/status/1259366707904180224 |

| I will always be hyped for more KEY/Jun Maeda despite Charlotte taking a shit by the end. |
| oh the collaborations have been five years apart, interesting! didn't even realise lmao anyway pretty hyped for this even with the shortcomings in previous works. I hope they will work on the pacing though if they're gonna once again go with one-cour. the worlds in charlotte and angel beats were absolutely rich with interesting stuff that they could've made content out of and since this is jun maeda, I have no doubt the premise of this one will be up to that standard. |
 |
| Once again, Jun Maeda is a god in Key related stuff, always high hopes for his works with P.A. Works that are always hits (well, except Charlotte). Nevertheless, the anime adaptation in Fall, that's quite soon though! Even the teaser reeks total Angel Beats-ish emotions, got a feeling that this'll be good (but also fall back to Charlotte levels). Still hyped about it in the months to come, and going back to the starting point for the 3rd collab in 10 years. |

| It's probably going to be bad. After Angel beats i don't think this guy can made anything good. |
| This means we won't be getting any new original SoL anime anytime soon. Sadface |
| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| I am most definitely looking forward to this, Nao Tomori (Charlotte) is still one of my favorite girls in all of Anime and I can't wait to see what the character designer will create this time around!! For now I am going to keep my expectations a little low considering the current situation, but the teaser has kinda already sold me to atleast watch it, if it will come out that season... |
 |
| So it's officially confirmed for this fall. I was afraid it would get delayed because of the outbreak. I'm so happy right now! |
| Ahh yes, i love stuff from Key and Jun Maeda, and by reading the synopsis, this is going to be a tear jerker, i can feel it. Bring it on, i can't wait!! |
 |
| Seems that summer pockets adaption is not going to come anytime soon, but nvm, i'm hype as well for this one |
| Really looking forward to this one~!^^ |
   |
| Key + P.A. Works again. Holy hell this is gonna be awesome. |
| Looks like we are going to get Jun Maeda + Key + PA Works Collab every five years. HYPE! |
 |
| I look forward to any work by Jun Maeda; however, I hope it's nothing like Charlotte. |
 |
| Ayy looking forward to this. |
 |
| 23 to 26 eps pretty please!!! |

 Machine translation: It's been 20 years since we launched the brand called Key. The anniversary year has passed very quietly. Perhaps if you are not a long-time fan, you probably did not realize that it was such a memorable milestone. I felt that temperature was so strong that I had to take the lead and pave the way to show that the brand called Key is still alive, without being overwhelmed by the glory of the past. . One of the projects was this project. That's because the culture of playing novel games on PCs is becoming obsolete. I'm a game creator, mochi is a mochi shop, and I'm very aware that people should be making games, but I'm grateful that I got another chance, so I was able to join the anime professionals to create a new era. We started this project in 2017 to create a key. It is a group of backwaters. If you make a mistake, the brand called Key could fall. But since I got the right to challenge, I thought I had no choice but to move forward. Originally, I was a layman who had no experience of studying animation script or getting acquainted with it. Even on "Day of God," the first manuscript couldn't be written well, and it was in a terrible situation. Even if I heard the opinions of those around me, it was a painful thing that it could not be passed as a commercial work. Even so, maybe people felt something like the possibility, and people who tried to improve by saying "This is interesting" appeared. Those are the anime staff, with the director as the lead. I enthusiastically pointed out that I should do this, and I should do it, and I repeated the correction. There were days when I wondered why I was so enthusiastic about such an amateur. Nevertheless, it was about two and a half years that began in 2017, when I caught a glimpse of the encouraging encouragement and the seriousness of seriously trying to improve this work, and trying to respond to it seriously. The Toba producer received the keyword "return to the origin". I wrote a different scenario from the time of game production, in which I used "Angel Beats!" And "Charlotte" to throw in all the elements that could be thrown in as entertainment, such as the start of the war, bands, and different abilities. I haven't really talked about the meaning of "returning to the origin" in a deeper way, but I'm asking for a purely moving story, like when I was in "Kanon" or "AIR". Interpreted and wrote the script. We sincerely hope that this will be a key step in the new era. Jun Maeda Credit for the translation post to hyperclock255 from the Reddit thread. Maybe someone of native language can also post his translation of this. |

| UMI I hope, it gets +24 episodes that's all.. |
  |
| Hmm looks interesting. I'm not hoping for a masterpiece but I hope this will be entertaining in some ways^^ |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| 90% sure it's going to be 13 episodes. |
| I hope Key just gives up on P.A. Works already. It'll just be a disaster I'm sure they should just work with Kyoto Animation, J.C. STAFF or David Productions again instead |
 |
| I'm ready to be torn apart emotionally by Maeda once again. Just, please give this 2-cours to avoid another Angel Beats and Charlotte situation. That's all I want. |
| Mixed feelings for it, really liked Angel Beats but Charlotte sucked. I hope its 2-cour or at least its a story that's good enough for 13 episodes. |
 |
| I bet there will be a baseball episode somewhere down the line. |
 |
| I will probably watch it, but I don’t have high hopes considering how terrible Charlotte was. |
| I wonder who the director might be, hopefully someone good that is used to work with P.A Works like Toshiya/Andou and not someone random that worked on some random episode of Angel Beats like they did for Charlotte. |
| Definitely my #1 most hyped upcoming show, more than SnK and more than Mushoku. |

A BIG downfall with Angel Beats and especially Charlotte was that he was doing music for the bands, the opening, ending, and the background music in general. Because of this (which was more apparent in Charlotte due to two bands), the soundtrack wasn't as good overall compared to other Key works. The script was an issue too of course. Angel Beats had too many characters that were all useful but barely had screentime while Charlotte only had four main characters and of those four, only Yu became an actual use to the story. With this story, it seems to be a simple sad story. So far, we only know of this girl and the guy she'll eventually meet. The synopsis doesn't seem to be leading up to a grand action-packed story like Angel Beats and Charlotte, but rather a simple story. The fact that this story as Maeda said goes back to how Kanon and Air were gives me a lot of hope. It's actually kind of funny he says that because this at the same time feels like Maeda's version of Rewrite. (Rewrite remake next please @ White Fox and then a Little Busters remake. I can dream) I've accepted that Maeda will probably not ever make another Clannad/Little Busters type of story again though if Aniplex continues only giving him 13 episodes. I think Key in general needs to step away from their supernatural action stories (Rewrite, Angel Beats, Charlotte) and go back to their origin. This is why Summer Pockets is doing well for the company. And given that Aniplex will probably only give him 13 or so episodes, doing another big supernatural story like Angel Beats and Charlotte would be absolutely terrible. Especially if he adds bands and a baseball episode. Let's see what he delivers this time and if we can revive the Key anime brand. Fingers crossed. You put my thoughts into words. I have a lot of hope if this is a true "return to origin" for Maeda-san. The were propping Maeda up pretty high during the stream and even gave him his own website ( https://kamisama-maeda-lab.com/ ). To me it seems like they're banking a lot on Maeda. I really hope this means they'll give him a proper budget (in other words, 2-cour). |

| Waited for today's announcement and definitely looking forward to this project. The combo Key x Aniplex x PA Works is just a really nice collaboration and hope it'll have a better pacing this time than for example Charlotte. Nice anime but the pacing was a little off. Hope Lia and/or Nagi Yanagi comes to sing the OP/ED. The sound piece in the trailer is already a good sign so... <3 |

| Over drama, every single cliche troupe, tear-jerker characters and a lot of big eyes, let´s go. |
| ok as expected of that rumors floating around but a total loli this time really? hopefully she transforms to adult form |
| Great collab, I am looking forward to another series by Jun Maeda. I think Angel Beats! and Charlotte were really entertaining but had several melodramatic moments and ended up being rushed towards the end, but they were fun to watch nonetheless~ |
| oh my god!! pls dont be 13 episode 24 or 26 would be pretty good |

| The girl really does look like Umi from Summer Pockets |
| I see a loli I put it on PTW |
| If this gets hyped when it's airing I would probably start with charlotte before this. Nice key point @ Smudy |
| Another reason to be hyped for the Fall 2020 season now! The whole story concept sounds very interesting and having Key, Aniplex and P.A Works working together again for the 3rd time in 10 years is something to look forward to. I think this'll be 13 episodes, although I would prefer a 2-cour if possible. Either way, I need to put aside a pack of tissues when this shows starts in October. =P |
| Back in action again, Key the creator of the most tear-jerking, melodramatic and forcibly tragic stories that exist Those who abuse the topic of a "normal teenager who knows many waifus with tragic pasts" f*ck u |
