Regardless of your opinions on the show (I think the series had very strong directing that added to the show's disorienting, almost uncanny tone), the direction was made with the intent to connect with the Occultic;Nine storyline. If Ishiguro were to direct Promised Neverland, he would make something that'd fall more in line with the tone of that series. Much like what he did for Your Lie in April and Children of the Whales. If these rumors prove true, I think the greater concern is if Ishiguro is able to get other talented people on the project. Ishiguro's the kind of director that likes to highlight the talent of other staff members, and this was very notable on shows like Occultic;Nine and Your Lie in April. I don't think your worries on whether or not it'll be a good adaptation are necessarily unwarranted; however, I think your concern is probably in the wrong place.
As far as Tetsuro Araki, he's busy on AoT and Kabaneri Movie 3, so even if he were to be on this project, it would probably be a bit of a compromised vision since his workload would be spread across multiple projects. You can see this a lot, even with directors that have very distinct styles. Like when Masaaki Yuasa was working on Lu, Night is Short, and Devilman, it lead to Devilman having a lot less of his distinct style than expected from him.
But all in all, I suppose we'll see what the folks from Cloverworks will do about this project. I'm going to predict it'll turn out fine, since I do think noitaminA is a slot that tries to have some form of quality control (not in the sense that every show they make is good, but rather in the sense that every show they make is at the very least well produced). I can only think of a small amount of exceptions that weren't at the very least well produced or adhering to the vision of the projects.
> Occultic;Nine did not give us any sense
> Only seen 1 episode
> Expects to understand everything in a mystery show from the first episode
> Claims Cloverworks ruined P5 when the scheduling was the problem, not the staff
Kono Subarashii is similar to Re:Zero in the fact that the protagonist is summoned in a parallel world
but the theme is different Re:Zero is based on Psychology and drama when Kono Subarashii is based on comedy and adventure!
you can say Kono Subarashii is entertaining for it's comedy and Re:Zero for it's drama and mystery! both are pretty great and highly recommended to watch.
