Overrated and tired. The industry has been milking Tomohiko and A-1 name ridiculously hard of late but i can barely take them seriously at this point and see them as just popular names to attract people and get them all hyped up. Theres nothing particularly special or noteworthy about any of them other than their extended popularity with past hyped up hits and its not exactly like they're particularly scarce these days either. Its just boring seeing them thrown together on these projects and far from a guarantee its going to result in some masterpiece. I mean yeah Shigatsu no Uso was surprisingly bad but hardly a masterpiece. Tanime just no logical reason to expect anything special out of a show some hyped up overexposed writers. Plus I'm sick to death of all this meta anime crap of late. Is the industry so full of cynicism at this point that its incapable of just telling a good old fashioned story without resulting to these gimmicks and tired list of overhyped names? Its just becoming increasingly insulting by the season at least to me.
edit: and from the sounds of it they aren't even writing it at all, its Kishimoto Taku who is extremely hut or miss. It sounds like the anime industry is just so bloody desperate at this point that it will do literally anything to get popular names on a project even if they barely have anything to do withit beyond the crcreative phase and even when its just based on a board game result. Pathetic.
Could not possibly agree more. If this was practically anyone other than A-1 Bland Pictures who for some reason has to do practically everything that could possibly be popular I'd be more hopeful for it. noitaminA has sucked the big one since they became one of the only studios allowed to do anything for it. IMO anime overall has taken a serious turn for dullsville since they and their money first and ego driven ways took over. How easy it is for them to hype people up makes it possible too. Granted its going in Winter aka the time to not give a fuck season pretty much every year but lately that's just been every time other than Spring.
IMO silver spoon started okay but got really boring really bloody fast in the second cour and that was the last A-1 show I could actually finish
