Chief Director: Akiyoki Shinbo ('shit loads of signs')
Series Composition: Katsuhiko Takayama (Eye candy efz and Summer Storm with summoned beings)
Assistant Director: Naoyuki Tatsuwa (SZS, maria holic)
Character Design/Animation director: Yamamura Hiroki (SZS, Natsu no arashi)
Production Studio: SHAFT

from twitter account of Soremachi.

So what, again, they are pushing themselves. This, Kizumonogatari, Arakawa season 2, Negima.

SZS + NnA style gag = instant win. So, I'm hyped. It seems like it will going to my old SHAFT comedy shows that I missed so much. NO MORE DANCING BUND PLEASE.

We also have Miyumiyu and Yuki Aoi. Some of the seiyuus parallel to the arakawa are also in.

Edited: WTF Chiaki voicing Arashiyama? Horrible miscasting.

I'm not familiar with the staff of SHAFT beyond Shinbo, but I feel like the everyone behind SZS (besides the cast) weren't really on their A-Game. Do we know what this is? Could this just be Arakawa Season 2 or SZS season...four?

I thought it would be produced by SHAFT, the manga looked like something that they would do. I liked Arakawa, their latest work, so I hope this will be good as well.

True, but it's seinen this time.

Also, yeah, was that actually some normal animation from SHAFT? What's going on here!

^ Yeah, surprising, eh? No flying text, less eye flashes.

The only problem I see is that SHAFT is doing two series in same season. This and Arakawa season 2 lol. Same shit again, quality drop is almost inevitable.

It will probably go like this;

1. Shaft will throw away animation quality of Arakawa (which already had horrible animation quality, anyway) and totally focus on SoreMachi, like how they gave up Fuckary bund to produce eyecandy Hidamari.
2. They will start both series with good same quality for the first 4 episodes, than drop slideshow of 'I WLL FICS TIS IN TEH DVD' treatment.
3. Not possible, but miraculously produce both of them in full quality, wasting all their fundings from Bakemonogatari and Hidamari.

I hope for 3. But sadly, NOT POSSIBLE.

I didn't know until roughly 5 minutes ago that SHAFT was doing another show along with Arakawa S2 in Fall. Sweet, can't wait. :D

Again, another possible recipe for disaster since this is also being animated by SHAFT... D:

The voice is... I don't know. I haven't read the manga, so I can only judge from what I've seen so far.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Wow, this show was completely out of my radar, I had no idea that apart from Arakawa 2, SHAFT would be doing another fall show..
Not sure what to think of it, honestly.

Keep whining, because art and comedy was way better presented in this episode.

Haters are always blind on what they see.

For anyone who wish to see an "SHAFT anime", they will be satisfied, BUT, Shinbou style don't fit with Soredemo! Yes, this is may opinion, but nothing change the fact that series went "Shafted".

Shinbou force all to your style and this is wrong.
One good director provides whatever the series really needs, not put away his qualities.

The one more basic quality of Soredemo is the casual feeling of his aleatory events and character's interactions. The anime is artificial, aways forcing jokes e shouting "look who i am cool".

Can be a genuine seal of SHAFT quality, but don't decieve yourself, that was a poor adaptation.

Haven't read the manga, so this is no adaptation rant.

But it's nice to see a 2010 SHAFT anime actually be interesting, and I'd attribute that to Omigawa Chiaki and NOT Shinbou's "Oh wow look how I can make the camera pan up and down and around and distract you with slow motion and bullet time and strange angles and predictable tsukommi because I have no idea that my patterns for directing punchlines have become totally transparent".

I thought I wouldn't see a good SHAFT comedy since Arashi, but I was mildly amused.
