STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Going to give this a chance. I mean, it's probably going to be a hit or a miss. Hoping for a hit. |
 |
| With Okada in charge it'll probably be melodramatic as FUCK lol. All jokes aside I'll give it a chance and hope it's good. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| If Okada is in charge, is it gonna be like Nagi no Asukara where the first half is really good, then the second half is irredeemable trash? My god, I've never seen an anime go from really good to soooooooooo fucking bad like Nagi no Asukara did. They also took Chisaki who was the best character and turned her into one of the worst. |
| >drama not my kind of fad... good for fans i guess... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I shall hope for the best. |
 |
| The Okada hate is real. |
 |
| Noice. Mari Okada is one of the few who masters the art of heavy drama without ass-pulls, looking forward to it. |
 |
| Shouldn't you put her in as Director/Script under the staff section, then? |
| Mari Okada has the touch of death. |
 |
| Kinda funny how this gets announced right as I'm watching Hanasaku Iroha, another Okada/P.A. Works anime... Mari Okada is kind of a hit-or-miss writer for me. She can do and has done decent-to-good work before, but she often has a tendency of injecting a ton of hokey melodrama into many of her scripts, which I'm not exactly a huge fan of. Regardless, I'm very interested to see how her directorial debut turns out. The movie definitely looks gorgeous based on the teaser (I mean, this IS P.A. Works we're talking about) , and the staff sounds promising enough, so I'm hoping for the best with this one. |
| Killer combination. For years P. A. series are something to stay away from, Okada Mari series are something to stay away from, combine the two and you get a torture device. I seriously would rather hurt myself physically than watch this based on current info. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I hope it will be as good as Mayoiga. |
 |
| it looks fine, i will have a bit of faith on this |
Symphyon said: Don't worry, it was just sarcasm, tbh (I still like Mayoiga, though).Illyricus said: I hope it will be as good as Mayoiga. I mean I don't really like Mayoiga (don't worry I'm not one of those that joins on the hate bandwagon tbh). |
|
| Just fuck my shit up. Looking forward to this. Looks to be a post-apocalyptic setting. |
 |
| Excellent staff. Seems like NagiAsu level of quality of art quality, which is the best looking TV anime in my opinion. Love Mari Okada's work as a scriptwriter, so excited to see her directorial debut as well along with NagiAsu's director to help her along the way. Favourite drama writer and I love drama series, so really excited for this. Beautiful trailer with an interesting setting. |
| Looks exquisite!! Sasuga, PA Works! |
| I don't really get the hate for Mari Okada either, but then again I am kinda biased since she worked on some of my favorite shows. But the trailer did look very good for what it was. Short and sweet! |

| OH MY GOODNESS! P.A. Works and pretty much the same staff as Nagi no Asukara with Mari Okada are back to do another project!? I'm fucking hyped! Really looking forward to this! Considering it's a movie and P.A. Works, I bet at least the visuals will be breath-taking and astonishing. PV looks good in my opinion. Once again, already got me hyped! |

| Jeez the staff looks amazing |
| Looking nice so far and while I'm not a huge fan of Mari Okada, I did enjoy some of her works. Hope it will turn out good! |

|
| I don't want to join in on the hate bandwagon but when I saw this I was really let down. From the title and premise alone it sounds a bit melodramatic. I mean they even outright admit it's a "human drama" which is Okada's specialty. But I'm going to give this a chance since the PV looked gorgeous and gave me slight NagiAsu vibes. Hopefully it's more of a hit than a miss. |
| the title font reminds me of the manga Umi no Cradle. |
 |
| I love Okada's works with romance, and P.A. Works' anime are gorgeous so I'm looking forward to this 😊 This reminds me that I really need to watch The Anthem of the Heart. |
| If it literally says it's about human drama in the summary and you don't like drama, why don't you just stay away from this movie and anything to do with it rather than hating on something just because it's not to your tastes.... |
| Looking forward to this! Most of PA Works projects always give me a sense of calm feeling, due to Higashiji as art director, of course. I'm ready for some breathtaking scenery. Higashiji will probably pour his emotions into the fantasy setting as he did for NagiAsu ^^ Whether or not the movie will end up good/interesting, I'd still watch it for the visuals. As for Okada Mari, I have more positive feelings towards her character driven drama as well as adaptations. I'd be very cautious if the project gave an "edgy" vibe *coughM3selectorkiznaivermayoigacough* although she's proven me wrong with G-Tekketsu which is leans towards plot driven drama. I agree that if you don't like drama and easily feel that Okada's scripts are melodramatic, then you should probably avoid this. She's been successful with her style, especially with AnoHana and the fairly recent KokoSake, so I doubt she's going to change anything this time around regarding drama. What people should worry about is that it's her directorial debut. Not all writers can be good directors or vice versa. Although I'm not really worrying about this either considering the other people she's working with. Best of luck to the team on this project! |
| I hope it will be good/nice :) |
