| Since there's a ''The Animation'' in the title, there's a 90% chance it's gonna be bad. |

| The artstyle looks rad and they brought back the original VAs and music composer. 100% sold. I think this is going to be a great adaptation and words cannot express how excited I am for that. |

| Pretty cool to see that they brought the original composer and voice actors back... I wonder if they'll be able to get the original English voice actors for the English version too. I've already raved about my thoughts in the hype thread so sorry if anyone was expecting me to scream more here haha I had no idea that Neku's JP voice actor was in frickin Charlotte though. I should've known his voice in the PV sounded familiar, I literally watched Charlotte earlier this year. AND what the heck??!?!?! Joshua's JP voice actor was in Angel Beats!?! Damn that's frickin awesome, it's gonna be weird to potentially hear Hinata here though hahaha though i guess in that kinda way this will be fitting, huh? heheheh... |
 |
| If anything, they've absolutely nailed the game's style and aesthetic in the PV. And I'm not terribly worried about the pacing because the story can be adapted in one cour. However, the staff seems pretty meh. Hopefully it turns out to be a good adaptation. |
 |
| Seems interesting! Definitely going to give this a shot. I happened to keep up with the panel over at AnimeExpo Lite too and that certainly made me a lot more curious than witnessing just the searing hype since the anime announcement. |

| I can't help shake the feeling that it looks like a web-comic or manhwa adaptation. |
 |
| i expect the ost gonna be bop |
| The character design looks quite faithful which I like, but I'm also glad they don't have those ridiculous waistlines they had in the games. |
 |
| according to The Canipa Effect the fighting scenes will be in 3D animation while the none fighting parts will on 2D animation makes sense since the 2D character design looks hard to draw or not too animation friendly |
| Funny, I just bought the game on switch yesterday and just started it. I heard good thing about it but unfortunately, I've noticed that games adaptation tend to be on the "bad" side so I'm not expecting the anime to be good. |
| Yo I finally beat this game this afternoon... I think y'all can tell what I thought of it by the new additions in my Profile Favorites lmao wildhood said: Oh shit! I didn't know The World Ends With You was getting an anime. I bought that game a few years ago for Nintendo DS, but stopped playing it when I didn't know how to progress at a certain point in the game. Looking forward to seeing best girl Shiki animated. ayy I too started this game long ago, Shiki is indeed best girl. Where'd you get stuck at btw? Dubs4life said: This is great and all... but... why not a sequel? I loved this game throughout, but I honestly disagree. Maybe it's cuz I've learned from some of my favorite games like the Chrono series, but I think it's just best to leave it at one game. I personally don't want this game to be milked as hard as Kingdom Hearts has, and trust me, after seeing how ridiculous that series is in "complexity", it feels so zetta good when you learn something has ended and on a satisfying note at that. Personally I'd honestly be up for some neat TWEWY merch over a sequel at this point. Dubs4life said: Here's hoping that, with the possible exposure received by the anime, a sequel can be made (although i thought the story wrapped itself quite neatly). Someone didn't play New Day in Final Remix... Sorry for butting in, but—I've only played the original DS version, is Final Remix really worth getting just for New Day? Or is it actually that important to play through/know about? |
