Staff isn't particularly great but as long as they stick to the source, deliver on the visuals and the director doesn't have a spasm while working on it, that's all this needs to be good, it's relies a lot more on the atmosphere than anything else.
Never listened to any of the drama CDs (the "other game") so that'll be cool to see too.

So it's an ONA huh? We'll be getting if sooner than I thought. Do we know many episodes there will be or how long it will be?

Will definitely be watching this with its popularity.

Thanks. So I assume it will be the normal length of TV episodes? I heard many people said it can work well as a movie and 5 episodes will be around 1 hour 40 minutes which is normal for a movie length.

Added, though the official site doesn't say it's 5 episodes (and PV, which I skimmed through it, didn't mention so), so we didn't initially added it.

It's a 2~3 hours game so yeah, 5 episodes is fine.

5 episodes of online streaming... literally means no time restriction/episode. They just need to stop at the right point each time.

YESSS!!!!!!!!
That long years of waiting... looks like it'll be getting paid back in full. :')

Oh cmon it looks promising, dont judge till it is out.

The best approach they could have done it with. considering this is the shortest key visual novel. With the game only has about 3 to 4 hours of gameplay.

Looks beautiful and i can't wait to see it. However it looks like i have to wait a bit to watch it subbed sometime in 2017 maybe?. Can't wait

Hmm so we are getting some extra content with an additional movie. i wonder what it iwll be about exaactly.

Solid staff, David Production and some of the JoJo staff involved, so that's great news as they're great with attention to detail and being faithful to the source material. PV looked very good, has me really interested. Also glad it's getting a 5 episode ONA and a film with another story, sounds like some wise choices, glad we're getting some original content. Also excited to see Little Buster's music composer in the staff list plus Lia and Sayaka Sasaki for theme songs.

Oh god no please. The VN was too beautiful for it to get butchered with an anime...

Also, the trailer spoiled 99% of the content. I just won't watch this. Planetarian and Hoshino Yumemi herself have an irreplaceable spot on my heart. Inb4 all 4chan-reddit-etc. gets to watch it, makes it viral for god-knows-why, and ends up destroying all the feels this VN gives.

Then ignore the anime if you dont like it. Will the adaption magically make the source bad lmfao?

Why? He also directed Inu x Boku SS. No one thought Jojo wasnt going to be like Inu x Boku SS even tho that was his first time as a director.

Why not? Seems that davidproduction actually using people carefully without relying too much of success of others but on how they work as a matter of adaptation and original.

Following the standard of the industry it is but this actually gives more time for the main to get less removed content if they actually intend to adapt the thing faithfully. But then again I'm relying on the information that it is a short VN as mentioned by those who tried it.

Animation and art looks really GOOD. I didn't expect this by this studio. Rewrite should looks like this as well.. :/

BTW, if Planetarian got an adaptation, then maybe Eden...
With Plus Mosaic as OVA.

Well if you ever decide to change your mind, the VN isn't that expensive. For example $4 on itunes or 10ish on steam.

I don't see how they can mess up the anime adaptation. The only way to do it wrong was to pacing concerning the episodes. Since they got rid of that, they can basically do it per chapter.
So yeah they've got to be skilled/innovative/creative in order to derail this.

I have not played the VN but base on what people told me... and the hours, it makes sense to fit this into 5 episode format if the VN is pretty much 2 hours (this is what a friend told me)

Not a big fan of the character designs, but the production value seems decent and 5 episodes are just the right amount of time needed to adapt the story at a nice and even pace. I don't have much of an opinion on the staff, so I guess I'll be going into this a little blind although it'll be tough to butcher such a straightforward story so I have mild expectations.

Not sure about the movie though as I never looked into the drama CD, but I'll be sure to check it out. Would've ideally preferred the main story to get a movie, but this is fine too.

Oh no, not a faithful visual novel adaptation. How horrible.

Everyone knows anime ruins everything. Even worse when it makes people know about it. Nothing worse than that.

"Everyone's carrying something that matters. You just don't realize when you're carrying it. It's only after it slips out of your hand that you realize how heavy it was in the first place. So many times I thought that I'd never carry a load like that ever again. And yet, before I realized it, I was carrying it again. I'd feel so much better if I just got rid of it. But I just can't bring myself to do it." - Sakata Gintoki

Play it. You'll love the story as it is, that way.
(I mean: of course this thing won't be adapted intact. The director will get his hands over it a bit, too.)
