This novel has only 1 volume so it can be adapted fully however as it's only 1 volume, it will most likely be a short 8-12 minute anime.

Instant PTW. But Euphonium S2 when?

Kokko said:

Never, judging by the sales.

>KyoAni adapting a generic harem battle academy LN
No. No no no no no no. Fucking WHY.
KyoAni has the talent to do so much more than the shit they've been doing. It's bad enough they waste their potential on stupid moe shows, but now this? We have enough of this garbage coming as it is, we don't need one of the industry's most influential and talented studios jumping on the bandwagon. Fucking hell. KyoAni has the potential to make an amazing anime but they waste it every single time.
This is bothering me more than it should.

Oh we, at least it should be fun to watch, even if the fun will come from how much of a trainwreck it will be.

Hyouka when?

Another work by Kyoto Animation? Interesting.

I wonder if it will be a TV adaptation though.

Sounds generic and boring.

Moodie you know very well this is going to generic.

Also, I agree that Kyoto Animation can be doing much more innovative projects. But their worst fault is that they gear towards fan service, they breath fan service, they are fan service.

moodie said:
who cares what the west thinks about whats innovative...if u are watching anime for the most original and innovative work ur in the wrong medium.

moodie said:

no i dont know cuz i watched plenty of ur so called generic ln adaptions and each had something unique to them that made them stand out from the rest....do u really think japan could get away with spewing the same thing over and over again. no, because each of these harems try to do something the other doesnt to differentiate this. you may ask well how do i know? cuz unlike u blind haters i actually am watching these.

Make more Free! please .-.

I haven't heard anything good about this novel, so I'm not expecting anything nice from this other than the animation. Hopefully it'll flop and they'll turn their attention to more worthwhile projects



Just because you change one minor detail like the name of a character, their hair color, or something like the setting doesn't negate the fact that a lot of shows are moronic rehashes of the other with cardboard cut out characters. Originality is dead and has been dead for a long time. Throwing in one slight difference doesn't make your work 'original', especially so when that work is filled with tropes and cliches and characters that are literally the same as 5000 characters from other shows.

Whatever though, you'll just revert to the whole moronic 'you're just an elitist!' argument because that's literally all you can ever go off about.

Kyoani only does HS settings.

It's kind of disappointing that people in this thread are going out of their way to bash this. Maybe because they want to fit in? There are much worse things getting adapted that no one seems to bat an eye at, so I don't know why a below-average-at-worst series is a problem.


Exactly, and innovation has nothing to do with quality.

vodall said:

You need to get this whole "tropes are bad" idea out of your head. Tropes are storytelling tools, while clichés are subjectively overused tropes. Neither are automatic indicators of bad quality, since their strength relies on the execution by the writer and/or director. For these same reasons, as Moodie said, a work does not need to be original or innovative to be of quality.

LotGH is super unoriginal and cliché at times, but it's still good.

It's funny because it works pretty well. I mean, Diomedea animated LNs with almost the exact same plot back to back (Fafnir, World Break, Sky Wizard) and they still somewhat sell.

moodie said:
Fafnir and World Break were worlds apart felt like i was watching 2 different anime....oh wait i was

Nidhoeggr said:
I also love how you don't deny that World Break and Sky Wizards are basically the same.
Q.E.D.

This looks and sounds a lot like those Fantasy Battle Harem LN adaptations we get several of everyone season except even if it is it's profile will be exponentially inflated and it's status and importance as a significant work exaggerated and praised to the high heavens just because it's Kyoto Animation. I look forward to seeing the community do a 100% about face on how it feels about these kinds of LN adaptations just for this one show before going right back to hating them regardless of the story and character content.

I wish they would invest in a Hyouka film.

Nidhoeggr said:
The execution of tropes within the director's capacity was extremely similar and as vodall said before, this is important.
Then again, most users on MAL are perhaps too much into anime to discern what 99% of non-anime fans and normal people see when they look at LNs:
The same crappy story with generic art over and over again. I dare you guys: Ask your non-anime watching friend about 10 LNs like Fafnir or World Break and try to make them believe they are different.
You won't succeed.

As people noted before: Many otaku prefer the best execution of a completely generic setting IN A GENERIC WAY.
That might be interesting to hardcore fans, but for sane people who prefer actual difference in their media consumption it is just boring.
