ooking at the overall picture Its going to be tough for the staff that was enlisted by Jc staff to make it a "good" adaptation, LB! is such a difficult concept that sometimes I myself think maybe its better than its not animated.

Unless the staff KNOWS LB! and played the game, read the novel and all and understand the whole concept of LB! then it might be okay..

Im just scared that they will f*ck up the image of Little Busters! so with Key just for the sake of having Little Busters animated.

Not sure what the problem everyone is having is honestly. Now I may not be completely familiar with all the original works their anime have been for, but many have been good regardless. Like Hayate, Nodame, Honey and Clover, and Utena. Although, they were involved in, whats my opinion of, the worst adaptation ever, Tsukihime. But really they have a long history that's not soley bad so there's no saying it's doomed already.

And too be honest I was hoping it wouldn't be Kyoani after the stunt they pulled at the end of Clannad After Story.

And here I was crying that it seemed unlikely to be KyoAni. I would literally take anything else over this. Except maybe DEEN.

This seems suspicious though, one minute they were saying they were turning down everyone because they only wanted KyoAni.. and now this? Must be a troll. Definitely. There's no way this is real, right? Ha. Hahahaha.

One theme I'm reading between the lines when looking at the staff (director, series composer) is that they've worked largely on long series. So there's a good chance it will get 52 episodes.

Whether those are 52 good episodes remains to be seen, but on the other hand there's no name for storyboard yet; if Key is directly in charge of that it may make a big difference.

haven't read the VN. since J.C.Staff is doing this, i'll probably watch it.

i mean they do butcher a lot of adaptations, but they're not THAT bad. aside from Yumekui Merry, i think.

i hope the VA's are good. 90% chance of rie and around 50% of okamoto.

I'm gonna give J.C.Staff the benefit of a doubt.
I'm disappointed that it isn't KyoAni doing it,
but I have nothing against J.C.Staff.

If they follow the VN faithfully,
all will be well. I can only pray now that they do.

J.C. staff isn't bad with animation anyway.
If they let KEY handle stuff like script and storyboard.
It may end up almost as good as KyoAni is doing it.

Everyone is jumping too much into conclusion that because J.C. staff is doing it. It's gonna end up badly. It hasn't even started it. Give them a chance at least. And when the time comes and they actually ruin it. We can all go to Japan, go to J.C. staff and burn their offices. I'll pay for the trip lol

That's ridiculous, most bad shows associated with J.C. Staff were bad sources to begin with. This is the same bullshit as with Mysterious Girlfiend X and Hoods, as if giving it to the creators of Manyuu Hichenko would somehow turn it into a mindless boob anime.

It's not like J.C. Staff is particularly infamous for turning the genius comedy of the Kill Me Baby manga into a generic unfunny series, or butchering Hidan no Aria and making a generic Shana-clone out of it.

They aren't as fortunate as KyoAni, or Gainax, to have the ability to always cherry-pick from the best of the best material based on their fame, but when they get lucky enough to get their hands on something decent, like Toradora, or Index, they do justice to it.

duh, J.C Staff is not that bad, just when they make a show or adaptation, they never managed to set the mood or atmosphere right. I'm very disappointed that KyoAni is not doing this.Also, JC's adaptation, most of the time they skip many minor details, but this details that they're skipping is actually essential for building the whole show. Little Busters+ecchi scenes = Oh god no

I agree that JC Staff isn't the worst choice. It could have been worse (e.g. Asread, ZEXCS, XEBEC, Bee Train, DEEN, Daume).

The animation quality is one thing. The fact that it has good directing and, improved narrative compared to the manga, is something entirely different.

The point is, that both DEEN, and J.C. Staff, are getting irrational amout of flak for usually picking bad source stories for animation, but disguised as a claim about their inherent animating/directing ability.

If they announce that it'll only run for two seasons. I'd be worried.
If they announce that it'll only run for one season. ALL HOPE IS LOST

This should, at the very least, run for 3 seasons. The ideal is 4 seasons, or maybe even more. They can do the common route and all the other required routes first then have Refrain and EX routes next.

I can only hope now.

Then J.C. Staff is good news for you, because they are a lot more well-known for long-running series than KyoAni or P.A. Works.

Really WHAT? 3 SEASONS? and ruin the atmosphere?!?!? A good studio could produce this masterpiece in just a season[24 eps] with refrain[13] or two seasons altogether..

That's quite a big feat, to have "a lot more" failed visual novels than P.A., when you have a single VN adaptation ever made, while P.A. has two VN-related works, neither of which are adaptations, strictly speaking.

that would be fine.
but having more would have them no excuse for leaving out some stuff. like the EX routes. since Saya was shown in the PV KEY released. I assume EX route would be done as well. Of course, those who played EX knows that the EX routes needs refrain be done first or it won't make much sense. Especially Sasami's.

What you are talking about is called a "cour". A season is any separate yearly block of programming, that can be 13, 26, 52, or 104 episodes long, as long as it is separated as a season. For example by your logic, Bakuman 3 should be called Bakuman 5+6, because all of it's seasons were 2 cour long.

I think proper storytelling is just what it needs... clannad and kanon made it into just 26 episodes, with clannad, two seasons and two OVAs...
but with JC Staf... I'm not really expecting much.... :|

so bbs rumor is wrong... i was hoping too for a kyoani or pa works but oh well... jc staffs specialize more on visual effects and not the story.. unlike kyoani who specialize more on story... thats why kanon (not the remake) even the art sucked if compared to todays standard still delivered the story very good.

they could have asked silver link (baka to test animation studio) or kyoani subsidy a-1 to do the animation but i think they are on the crunchtime? there's sudden increase in demand too so they want to rush.

on the final note, at least it was not toei who will do the animation or even sunrise.

my only concern is jcstaff cant deliver a story better than kyoani... as how many say, it may fail as one said all vn they have done failed. they are adapting a vn so it may fail too

but remember too. they jcstaff could surprise uswith a quality show to redeem themselves.

So what? J.C. Staff animators can only make good-looking fighting scenes, but if they try doing faces talking in a school classroom, it will look like crap? Or only KyoAni's scriptwriters are able to turn a novel dialogue into an anime script when it isn't a rant about the power of friendship?

Please, realize, that they don't have to MAKE a slice of life masterpiece, just as they didn't MAKE honey and clover either. The masterpiece is already made, they just need to animate it. And they are good at that.

Then you were either careless for not realizing that KyoAni is already booked for this year and the next, or ignorant for not knowing that KyoAni never works on two shows at the same time.
