Only the the designer of Haganai and Denpa Onna alone is enough to make me interested.

Just hoping that the story isn't too slice of life ala Hanasaku and Tari Tari.

At least we'll get very pretty characters.

Dropped. P.A. Works always gets great character designers, but shitty writers.


I assume this is a joke. She's one of the best out there. (Toradora, True Tears, AnoHana, Hourou Musuko, Hanasaku Iroha, need i say more .. ) and is certainly running hot at the moment.

After all .. if she can take the premise that was AKB0048 and turn it into something watchable then she sure has talent.

It's always funny how some people hate Okada. She has enough "not so good" animes but it definetly not her fault that they fail. And she still made scenarios for enough great series. Plus all other staff looks good for me but I hope it won't be slice-of-life.

Was interested until I saw Mari Okada. If this was the Mari Okada that wrote True Tears, I'll be more than happy, but this is the Mari Okada as of late that wrote BRS, Aquarion EVOL and AKB48.

So no thnx.

I'll take her over Hiroyuki Yoshino or NishioIsin, but she's very very overrated and has a bad tendency to write bad slapstick fanservice and overwrought melodrama. And emasculation... though of course she's not alone.

Exact opposite sentiment here. But then, Hanagai was just awful, so I'm probably holding that against the character designs as well.

Not setting my expectations very high here. I've enjoyed a few P.A. Works anime, but the staff's resumes didn't exactly impress me.

Could you explain how animation studio is related to story itself? They could choose what to make and how good animation would be but the story is totally directors+scriptwrighters doing

Nobody mentioned the director? Pretty much unknown for me, but he took the storyboard for LOGH, may be interesting.

Buriki is a good news. Mixed feelings about Okada Mari and P.A. Conclusion : Wait for further news.

It's like how people blame the studios for the failures of different shows instead of the staff. DEEN, JC Staff, you get the picture.

For me, I'll just wait for further news.

I'll wait till more info is revealed before I make a choice on watching it or not.

For instant, what is the story about, who are the characters, how long of an anime it is going to be an so on.

Just cause it being put together by some very good people, doesn't mean it will catch my interest.

@jmal

Tastes differ. For me all large works of the studio were "ups"

But still. Not so far example. Nazo no Kanojo X. The studio itself made some hardcore ecchi titles before but this one was totally different because of director, scriptwriter and character designer

I really dislike Biriki's designs.
They have weird shrunken in Whoville (Grinch the live-action) noses.

This.

Only watching for Buriki's designs. Not really a fan of P.A. Works since they seem to be barely over medicore from my experiences with them. But I don't want to miss out on his designs. They've really grown on me after viewing more of his artwork with Haganai.

The anime was awful, apparently one of the reasons why it didn't sell was because the designs didn't follow Buriki's levell(who I am in love with)

the original novel was MUCH better in design and humor, it focused on too much fanservice

Eh, not too sure what to think of it. Buriki's art is decent; but I'm sure P.A. Works will find a way to make it look gorgeous. Guess we'll just have to wait for more info on this.
