there's a spreading rumor between otakus here in kyoto prefecture, that JC staffs plans to shift 50% of its animators to work on little busters! so joshiraku, and the other anime sakurasou no pet na kanojo (or if there are others yet to be announced) might suffer through animation quality drop.

It sounds kinda dull to be honest. Not one of the better manga to be animated.
