That's some pretty mediocre-tier art and even on Shaft standards imo at least. Animation looks solid of course... Hmm, can't wait for this to be completely honest.

Uh... It's a Seinen? Um... well I can't explain much... Uh... this is weird, let me check the manga artstyle.

*checks*

Um... the manga has more of detail compared to the anime artstyle. ._. dafuq.

Well I say about these tags primarily, art reminded me a mix Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and Isshuukan Friends.

I like the cast but it doesn't look like a Shaft production at all to me. Maybe something from Paniponi Dash! but certainly unlike anything recent that I can think of. Maybe not a bad thing or maybe they'll toss a head til in somewhere but overall I'm not that impressed with the look of the PV.

The less it looks like an average Shaft production the better, that's for sure.

I gotta agree with this, at least for 3-gatsu. Shafts usual visual gimmickery would have really clashed with the tone of the manga so I'm glad that they toned down their visual identity in favour of creating a faithful adaptation of the source material.

Maybe people now will actually realize that Shinbo's style doesn't make up the entirety of Shaft.

Maybe, but I just meant more like this is so weird since I'm already used to Shinbo's style in the works, so its not a bad thing, it's more of something like feeling weird in a way for the studio at hand.

I like the watercolour backdrops but the art and animation isn't anything to write home about, well at least there were no CGI in sight.

Sakurai Takahiro is really here to take the title of "Most Prolific Seiyuu" out of the hands of Koyasu

The irony is that Shinbo himself is directing for the first time in years and is the one to take Shaft away from the template he helped develop.

Has an art style very similar to Honey and Clover's :/. I didn't like Honey and Clover. I'm looking forward to this, though.

Same artist, same writer. It's very similar if we're talking about characters and feeling. We even have Morita-like character.

the visual style really resembles arakawa under bridge and it was good thing... TBH, i kinda hoping like koufuku grafiti, but this one is even better than i expected since i have low expectation. lol. hope shaft can redeem them self with this one [mekaku and nisekoi, T_T]

No obligatory Shaft pose. I'm sad.


But looking forward to it.

I'm in it for the Kyouko drama, the rest is pretty darn boring if you ask me, save for a couple of Rei's matches. A bit surprised at Inoue as Kyouko, but I'll be judging after I have a listen.

I'm digging the route that Shaft is going for this one.
