Mieruko-chan
| I'll keep my expectations low but I have some hope anyway, even if they did what they did to Higurashi Gou and some more anime I was pleasantly surprised when I got to watch Joshikousei no Mudazukai, it was pretty good |
| I'm honestly worried too. This studio seems to be pretty new (imo) and I don’t know if they have enough experience to execute the anime. The best thing we can do as viewers is to wish for the best but not get out hopes up too high |
| Miko looks so different tho |
| Well I get what y'all are saying and I'm skeptical also because them being a small studio and small budget, they're working on 2 animes and I've only seen like 10 chapters for this manga so and from what I've seen I hope they don't use cgi on the ghosts and I hope they draw them perfectly or better yet they should probably contact the author and let him draw them instead yk but anyways I'm a new watcher of higurashi and I've only seen gou which they animated and I liked it I've seen a couple clips from the first two series and I can see how the animation has changed so I kinda have my hopes up and down at the same time I don't want them to be overworking their selves and then bring me as a new watcher of higurashi a trashy season 2 in summer yk so I hope they don't use cgi cause that's gonna take away the horror from it yk |
| I didn't like Passione's Higurashi but this might be different |

thedestroyership said: Please don't use CGI studio Passione Most of big monsters have unique designs so making cgi models is pointless since they apper one time. They could use cgi for these little shits that are eaten by bigger and for the two fox masked ones. KradH05t said: Se for o diretor de Higurashi Gou, ai vai ser uma senhora tragédia. It's by director of Ishuzoku reviewers, not Higurashi, he's busy with Sotsu anyway. |

Passione doesn't have the greatest track record of adaptations under it's belt (Citrus, Higurashi Gou, DxD Hero) and im getting the same worried vibe I had when Berserk and So I'm a Spider, So What? were adapted by Millepensee (Cop Craft, Teekyuu, and fuck all else). Execution of scares and detail of the ghosts are everything in this manga, and I honestly don't think Passione are capable of doing this adaptation justice. Passione could of course prove me wrong and make a great adaptation, but I won't be surprised if the anime ends up flopping hard because of them. What does everyone else think? Are you worried about the studio backing this adaptation? Or am I just being paranoid? Higurashi (Passione) had a lot of positive feedback smh. Same thing with Ishuzoku. You're overthinking it too much. |

Are you worried about the studio backing this adaptation? Or am I just being paranoid? Higurashi Gou isn't an adaptation, it's an anime-original sequel to the anime adaptation of the visual novel, and it's actually pretty good. It may not have gotten the best scores, but that was due in large part to people who thought it was a remake, and salty older fans who felt that continuing the story was "ruining it". If you don't believe me, check out Higurashi Sotsu's (sequel to Gou, also anime-original and made by Passione, airing now) score which I believe is currently hovering between 8.7 and 8.10. That's not to say they'll do a good job with this one, haven't read much of the manga beyond a few panels that popped up on my Insta feed, but the monsters seemed really intricate. All I can say is, don't slam it before it's even out, and give the studio a chance to prove itself. |
| All we can do is hope. Look at LIDENFILMS, that's the studio who made Berserk 2016, but also able to make an awesome banger like Tokyo Revengers. |
| Nagatoro level of animation is fine for me. I hope they'll pay more attention to the details. For me, I'll see the first 3 episodes when it starts airing, but until then I'm hyped as fuck. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I had the same concern with you regarding the details. From what I see from the current visuals, details are not as present as in the manga. I've also seen citrus and higurashi gou and a few clips of sou and I like the art. It didn't deter me in anyway at least. Though I read citrus first, so my initial interest in citrus could've got me going/hyped with the anime. But for my experience, hype can go both ways such as when season 1 of kobayashi dragon maid got released, I was very interested in it even tho I did not read the manga first not because of the visuals, but because of how much the first episode interested me, the story of it, the chemistry between the characters and the comedy. The wonderful animation was a plus point. So linking this to Mieruko-chan, it could intrigue newcomers for its storyline rather than the art style/details of the anime. And for manga readers, it may be like in my case for citrus where the initial interest kept them going. Even if the studio didn't match up to how detailed the manga protray it to be, I believe the enjoyment of watching the anime would not decrease all that much unless it holds a great priority and even then it'd be sad to drop an anime because of its poor animation especially since Passione's style is really not bad. At least its not like the early 20s/late 90s. Or maybe my standards are really low. Either way I can't wait to see it animated! We'll know when it airs. Concerns or not, its not within our control. Just enjoy it when it happens. |
| I was thinking the same. The manga’s imagery and the way they handled grotesque creatures was amazing. I hope they don’t attempt to censor or just ruin it in general. Doing so would probably ruin the ‘feel’ of the anime. I’m still pretty hyped either way! |

daniboi1 said: I think Higurashi was Passione's 1st horror anime and biggest project and they really put a lot of effort into making that show, I think it was great. But still, the animation quality and the camera directing after ep 4 downgraded a lot. Expect some mediocre camera works, low teir quality animation and for the monsters to be downgraded because Passione is a small studio. If anything, their "horror" in Gou (and Sotsu so far) has been more comedic than horroristic. (funny amounts of blood, Rika getting stuffed into a toliet was downright hilarious) It doesn't seem like they can do horror well at all but they proved with Ishuzoku reviewers they can nail comedy at least so that's something.... xD |
| Welp, I'm surprised enough that it IS being adapted so I won't complain. J3_Omega said: could be ruined by the fact that it's Passione adapting it. J3_Omega said: I don't know what do you mean by that. If you mean that their shows (Higurashi Gou is NOT an adaptation) do not really have a high MAL score (over 8), then it's true. But objectively good doesn't mean popular, so...Passione doesn't have the greatest track record of adaptations under it's belt (Citrus, Higurashi Gou, DxD Hero) I think Passione have what they need to adapt a show like this one. A spooky and goofy comedy with an interesting slowly developing plot... I'll definitely enjoy it but I don't know if it will be really popular around here. And I'm not sure if... dunno, a Shaft or ufotable adaptation would change a lot. |

| I dunno I think Passiones track is good enough. Citrus was one thing but i fundamentally dislike that series for other reasons. Ishuzoku was very well made, higurashi gou and sotsu, ignoring that strange fucking water mill, has looked very good. Hero was fine enough for me as far as DXD standards go. Joshikausei wa Mudazukai, if they can match that i will be perfectly satisfied. Hinako note too for that matter. I think passione has done a lot more good than bad. |

Im pretty sure we know they ryukishi had a lot of input in the story of gou. Although toilet stuffing and chandelier memes are not his typical MO, it does not shock me that much. |
| I think this is getting ignored because of what it is. But they did make ishuzoku reveiwers. Say what you want about it as far is its "story" goes, but i feel it did absolutely look really good and was well animated when it needed to be. Earning it that meme reputation of "one of the highest budget looking hentais ever made." The only place i have concern is where everyone else is worried which is the monsters. good studios struggle to make monsters look good with bigger budgets. if its not as blatantly bad as citrus' cgi croweds, and higurashi's CGI watermill, then i am optimistic. Every other aspect of the show I am not worried about given this studio's work. |
| I hope this is going to be great. |

| Yes, the latest seasons of Higurashi are...just not very good when compared to the original story. but that's just it - it's the writing and story. I don't know how much of the blame can be laid at Passione's feet for that rather than the original writer and creator, Ryukishi. Also, I'm not a fan of the art style and character designs they went with for the new Higurashi seasons at all and something about the characters is way too empty and artificial-seeming, but again, I blame at least equally as much the creator whose work and property this is - He would have had to sign off on it and could simply have chosen not to. It hasn't been all awful, but many disappointing decisions and just low caliber storytelling compared to the original have led to it being subpar. Still, I don't see how that specific situation will impact Passione's work in the future necessarily (in a negative sense or indicative of a negative trend) or condemn Mieruko-chan to going any particular way. I have to say I was very impressed with other series by Passione like Rokka no Yuusha and Ishuzoku Reviewers for what they were and what Passione did with them. Rokka no Yuusha had decent directing and animation and pulled off toggling back and forth between a lively and colorful fantasy adventure epic and a claustrophobic mystery noir and survival movie-esque series with heavy atmosphere where/when you wouldn't expect such. Ishuzoku Reviewers is just about as creative, humorous, and interesting a watch as an explicit gag comedy centered around...essentially bestiality with humanoid animals and fantastical creatures could be. Ecchi is one of my least favorite genres so it's really not my type of show, but it excelled at being exactly what it was supposed to be. So I would say those are two positive examples. One is completely unfinished and in limbo for the past 6 years and the other basically animated softcore porn and a raunchy sex comedy like the American Pie films or something, so it's not like I can say either are close to a masterpiece in my eyes or anything, but I think it's evidence that the studio can achieve precisely what it sets out to do when all the stars align - chiefly in the form of having everyone on the same page - director, original creator if there is a source material, any additional writers and storyboarders, animator team. Even the voice actors/actresses and music composers. They all need to be firmly on the same page and fully aware that they're all committed to making the same type of anime and then it can feel fluid rather than stilted and not tonally inconsistent, ambiguous, and incoherent. |

| Passione is a pretty high quality studio, their only problem is that their profile is mostly ecchi and hot stuff. |
