Novel 'Beatless' Receives Anime Adaptation

That makes no sense. That's like calling Psycho Pass a Guilty Crown wannabe because they were both produced by IG and featured EGIOST. Wishing that multiple series by the same creator get the same high budget treatment with great staffing has no correlation with them being compared to one another.

Having the same character designer doesn't mean it has to be same everything else including featured artist, music creator, studio. Wishful thinking right there. Let Beatless be something different and unrelated so that it doesn't get compared too much to Guilty Crown. Otherwise, everyone will refer to Beatless as the Guilty Crown wanna be.

So wanting the show to have the same level of quality and productions values as another show to do justice for the original character designer means I want them to be entirely similar shows?

Bronze tier logic there.

NIRGILIS, not Sakura. The artist is Nirgilis, the one that did "Sakura" (from Eureka Seven) and "Dreaming Shout".

I really hoped to see Nirgilis making the OP or the ED, but both artists (Garnidelia and Claris) are good. Still hope to see Nirgilis featured at least in an Insert Song or second OP or ED if there is ever one.

I would say, bringing Egoist into the project will lead people to compare this to Guilty Crown even more instead of just admiring this project as something totally unrelated to Guilty Crown (even your whole comment screams of wishes of trying to make Beatless as close as posible to Guilty Crown).

OP: GARNiDELiA
ED: ClariS

Well this Diomedéa we're talking about, so keep your hopes 50/50. Who knows what they will do. We can only hope they don't butcher this one.

Well this Diomedéa we're talking about, so keep your hopes 50/50. Who knows what they will do. We can only hope they don't butcher this one.

But be prepared for a letdown everyone. Diomedéa is the studio producing this anime. Also redjuice is not designing the characters. From what i heard, Diomedéa has not produced any winners lately, let's hope they change everyone's views with BEATLESS.

Don't have high expectations for this show, not after Clockwork Planet crushed my LN adaption dreams.

But will still be watching this, I love redjuice too much.

It got cancelled or what?

Ohhh i like that one, it is really great)

Good to hope. Just those two script comps are concerning, besides the 2 shows, that they also brought us Venus climax, battle girl hs & Ushinawareta Mirai.

Supposedly the novel received a ton of praise in the day and was up for a few awards, so we'll see. Highly doubt there's even a chance it'll be as low tier as what you mentioned.

Pretty fucking stoked for this. I enjoyed Guilty Crown a lot so when it ended I ended up doing a lot of reading around and found out that redjuice, who created the original character designs for GC, also did the illustrations for this novel. And even the sci-fi type premise of it seemed somewhat similar.

So as soon as I found out about that I was hoping to hell for it to get an anime adaptation. And that was...quite a few years ago now? Since it never happened I'd had assumed that it was just never considered and totally forgot about it until I read the announcement.

I've heard the story is immensely good as well, the novel seems to have gotten critical acclaim, and was in the running for a few awards or something too. Now it worries me that Diomedia is handling the adaptation, because it's not like they've exactly been churning out winners here lately, and they're pretty ballsack at faithful adaptations.

Kind of disappointed that Production I.G. didn't get this so they could give it a stupidly HQ budget like they did for GC, plus they could've brought in some of the same staff like the character designer. Either that or Wit Studio, since they actually did some anime promotional art for an English Beatless artbook a long while back.

Also wonder what they'll do for music. Obvious signs point to Egoist, which is always a plus. I don't think this would get a Sawano OST like Guilty Crown did. Plus there's that Beatless artbook I mentioned that also came with a collaboration music CD redjuice worked on with some vocaloid guy. It included a bunch of tracks, the main "theme" one being Dreaming Shout by Sakura (who did the last Eureka 7 OP). And then the "sound track" songs were vocaloid. Perhaps they'll consider incorporating those songs into it. I definitely would like to see that original music make an appearance, but I would absolutely favor Egoist.

Curious of nods & refs to GC, like if that coffin device relates to Funeral Parlor.
The scifi osts better be good.
But only expecting eromanga/rewrite level of writing...

ty so much:D
dont worry^^

If Redjuice doesn't do the art this isn't worth watching.

Need Nirgilis to do the OP.

The pictures that I set as my forum set are just an illustration by Wayukako.
Sorry for the late reply, though.

Anyone had a chance to read the novel/manga? Any thoughts on how good or bad it was? I'm definitely gonna check this out but I'm worried it'll won't be a good sci-fi story.

I can't believe it took so long to make it official. Like there has been a Beatless facebook page I liked a few years ago because they said it was gonna get an anime adaption. I guess it was shortly after Guilty Crown aired.
