I trust them pretty much completely when it comes to adaptations of completed source material. There's no reason for an original ending, so Bones predilection for terrible writing, story direction and endings won't play a factor. When it comes to just adapting things faithfully and occasionally inserting great animation, Bones is pretty high up there.

In the anime, yes. Kyoani genderswapped them.

It didn't have to be this way.

It ended up in a nice place. No complaints here.

Reminder that it was mainly GONZO who did FMP and that Kyoda also is an extremely component mecha anime director who also was an assistant director for RahXephon. Also Concrete Revolutio has had really solid animation this season so I can trust them to make this work.
>>133637127
AO's problem was 100% writing and not directing though.

>>133637675
Every mecha series Bones has ever done has had great animation. They're about the only studio aside from sunrise that still pulls off good-looking 2d mecha.

AO also had good designs and a great soundtrack so it's not like it was that bad.

I'm super ok with this. They have the entire plot already written out for them so they can't fuck it up and Bones is top tier animation. Noragami's been great so far, Kekkai Sensen was good, and Concrete Revolution is on a good path. Bones is in a good spot right now.

>>133636027
That's probably the best case scenario sans actual KyoAni.

I need this confirmed just for BONES and 2D mecha.

Yeah but his changes are always good. He's George Lucas done right. Furthermore, I'm still holding out hope KyoAni will do a complete Fumoffu adaptation.

He was pretty much dead after he tried to take over TDD. He was left on life support in TSR and even said he was slowly dying. Plus he didn't really have much of an influence as TSR was all Sousuke's story, he just kinda guided it which was fine.

>>133638244
>>133638266

When did Gatoh say he regretted how he ended the LNs? I don't remember, can anyone provide a source?.

And if it's true I just hope he doesn't go for the now popular sad/bittersweet/edgy ending and kills one of the main characters, or make the bad guys win and reset the world or whatever they wanted to do.

The movie but the studio division that animated it at Sunrise went on to create BONES same thing with Escaflowne.

At the very least, Bones do mecha fight choreography much better than Kyoani

>>133639897
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bones_%28studio%29
>Bones was founded by Sunrise staff members Masahiko Minami, Hiroshi Ōsaka and Toshihiro Kawamoto in October, 1998. One of their first projects was collaborating with Sunrise on Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, a feature film based on the Cowboy Bebop anime series.

Kyoani hasn't done mech choreography since FMP. Bones typically does all fight choreography better than anyone.

Gatoh confirmed 2D mecha so Sunrise, Xebec and Bones were practically the only choices sans Kyoani.

>>133640157
That whole scene was made by one animator.

Bebop, DtB, Ouran... I didn't know my favorite shows are made by Bones. Does it mean Bones is my favorite studio?

I'm guessing Toshihiro Kawamoto (Kekkai Sensen/Noragami) is going to be anime character design since his style fits FMP.

>>133640694

If only they cared about the project and gotten a sizable budget

>>133641716
Impossible, but I have to admit that the idea of some younger seiyuu stealing Yukana's role made me giggle.

>>133641810
Yukana's still in Fafner so the seiyuu aren't going anywhere.

>>133641716
Yukana and Satsuki were confirmed to be reprising their roles (did you even watch the reveal?) and Tomokazu Seki reprised his role in the latest SRW.

>>133641739
Some do. Pablo's locked up for the next year at the bare minimum.

>>133641842

>>133641716
Tomokazu Seki tweeted about being excited to reprise his role. He couldn't go to the reveal because he was busy.

>>133641716
Shows don't generally change VAs barring someone dying or whatever. VAs are viewed as being the characters themselves, so it's a somewhat lofty position.

They're not going to be switching VAs for any of the major characters. That should be the least of your concerns. Dubbing might be a bit different for those that care.

I think he said there's really nothing else for DtB at the moment but this was 6 years ago. That was a long time ago and they could easily bring back DtB now since there was so much story to explore. 2017 is also 10th anniversary of DtB which is why I'm hopeful.

Are you talking about Sergio Pablos Animation?

I think Bones would first try to find a Japanese animation studio first, before they would seriously even consider a Western studio.

2D Mech confirmed already means its either Sunrise or BONES because everyone else is exclusively doing CGI nowadays. And BONES makes more sense than Sunrise because Sunrise is busy milking Gundam for Bandai.

With BONES stealing FMP, does this mean KyoAni is a c u c k ?

I rewatched all FMP for the first time in like 8 years and it turned out way less entertaining than I remembered it, with TSR being especially unsatisfying and lacking in everything besides animation. Sure Gonzo's FMP has some bad direction here and there, some episodes were plain terrible (pic related), but it doesn't leave the bad aftertaste unlike TSR.
The question - did anyone else think the same or it's just me being a fag?

>>133648038
I don't exactly agree with you, but maybe it's because the first season is much more conclusive, while TSR unavoidably opens more plotlines than it managed to close in the end.

>>133648038
>>133648038
I'm sure some people think the same but I don't understand why. TSR had much more memorable moments than S1 and I almost never recommend anyone to pickup FMP because they'd have to subject themselves to S1.

I get it was faithful but I don't think any scenes in it had any impact.

liborek pls go

>>133648038
TSR I thought was much better directed and well paced than the first season.
The first season had so many episodes that felt like a drag to sit through including the competition one you posted and the whole Helmajistan mini-arc that had that anticlimactic showdown between Gauron and Sousuke, when he finally catches up to him the battle basically ended offscreen.

>>133643587

>as long as it's not Gonzo or JC Staff I'm good.
Gonzo animated the first fucking season, you fuckface.

If there was any studio that should make this, it should be either Gonzo or Kyoani, since they both had a part in making this show.

Bones is actually extremely competent as a studio, the question is the director. Hopefully Gatoh keeps him in line.

>>133648970
Gonzo thirteen years ago was a completely different studio. I'd sooner ask for PSG S2 from Gainax.

>>133648970
Gonzo is pretty fucking shit nowadays.

>>133649022
Bones is probably ok if you can't get KyoAni.
But kind of sad Gatoh didn't get his first choice to work with his best bro Takemoto

>>133648970

All the people who used to make Gonzo good have left years ago, some even established their own studios and took the Gonzo anime with them like Saki.

Bones is one of the only studios I've seen that manages to have painfully drawn out climaxes and STILL manages to make it seem rushed.
there might be 10 whole seconds of good animation though

KyoAni is a completely different studio now. They're 100% style over substance and none of their directors would've did it justice. All you would've got was a nice looking production.

>>133649572
It's only if they go original that they ruin it, get your memes right.

>My only issue is that they won't end it fucking properly somehow and we'll get some anime original bullshit.

Enough with this shit. It's confirmed Gatoh is handling all scripts and doing the writing. It will be faithful to a tee and any original changes made are ones Gatoh approves because he thinks they will improve the story like he did for s1 and TSR. Bones shitty' writers aren't getting anywhere near FMP.

>>133652595
Only way this can be good

If Bones literally has no creative control and is only animating what Gatoh tells them to

>>133652595

The series composition and some of the scripts for the previous adaptations were done by the author himself, it they were not faithful it's because Gatoh wanted to change and/or add things like the Helmajistan arc of Season1.

I doubt this will be a complete reboot, unless they are going to make this a 4 cours or more series to cover all the LNs from the begining

>>133653791
>the previous adaptations weren't faithful to begin with?
Nigga, what? They expanded some parts like making an original arc in S1 and some more developed characters in S3, but most of the adapted scenes are word-for-word from the novels.

>>133654217
This is what worries me, even 2-cour would still be way too little to cover the rest of Sigma.
Unless they cut out the backstories, because there is a fuckload of those.

>>133655587
Like how they poured their whole budget on the first 3 mins of Soul Eaters first episode.

>>133655803

>>133661797
They're not hoping for it unless I missed a post, it's just a meme that Bones ruins all their anime with an original ending.

You guys are forgetting Producer Itou said most of the staff are experienced with FMP. So they've worked on s1 or tsr. Are there any Bones animators and staff members with experience working on past FMP anime.

>>133637792
They will also be doing Boku no Hero Academia, and the PV looks good.

Are you literally new. Bones have been a major company basically from their inception.

>>133662828
Except they fucking died after SturDriver.

Only now are they getting high-profile projects with people who aren't Endokiddy.

>>133661410
Kekkai was virtually unknown before the anime aired so I don't think they needed much clout with that, and FMP is a bit old and I get the impression it's more popular on here than in Japan, but then again Gatoh has connections in studios so if he had any influence, he probably picked them for the mechs. I'm not complaining though, they're output has gotten much better this year after the last few years of relative decline.

I never thought much of TSR. The animation is very nice, but the story doesn't do much for me, and the constantly resurrecting Gauron bullshit is just fucking stupid.

Most of the shitty episodes were Gonzo's fault, since they were originals not adapted from the novels.

Resurrected Gauron is a source issue thing though. It's kind of why TSR kills the shit out of him in almost comically over the top fashion.

Is it? It's been years but I remember it being one of the biggest titles in the West when the anime came out (obviously not as big as the stuff that aired on cable but on the internet). It was the first time I'd even heard of a light novel at least, but I was just a kid then so my memory could be off. I seem to recall the new season announcement not even reaching the top of trending before being bumped off on Japanese twitter though.

Old doesn't mean much for seiyuu. For an example, in Saint Seiya Omega you had Midorikawa (45 yo at that time) doing a 13 years old MC, and Mizushima (57yo at the time) doing a 12 years old main character.

And in Soul of Gold, the main characters, in their twenties, are played by seiyuus in their sixties. Ryouichi Tanaka is 68 years old and still played a 23 years old character.

Wrong. The creator of the light novels himself is writing this anime just as he wrote for the other seasons. He has a lot of experience writing for anime too so he knows how to pace a lot better now. It won't be faithful to the novels though, it will surpass them just as the other anime adaptations have.

Nah we'll just have KyoAni vs. Bones wars and how much better Bones is at doing Mecha than KyoAni.

I finished season 1, loved it, and am currently snoring my way through Fumoffu (kind of funny, but SoL isn't my thing), but one thing always confused me.

There is on episode, near the beginning of season 1, the one where Kurt, Sagura, and Chidore are trapped in the forest against Gauron, and there's like fucking 10 panty shots of Chidore. There were none before, and there would be none in any episodes after.

It was just interesting to me.

The most I expect from the Bones aspect will be KyoAni memes retooled to replace them with Bones' name, as evidenced by this thread. Bones just doesn't have fanatics on the same scale, this thread is actually some of the most praise for them I've ever seen on /a/, and half of it's jokes. Although the new season will be a prime target for shitposters so nothing can be ruled out, but it will be obvious bait on the level of sales threads.

I was a Bones fan until Wolf's Rain. The massive recaps killed all pacing and I gave up on them ever since. They are NOT bad animators, they are very good in fact. But they really needed someone else to write the scripts. FMP in their hands can work. They are not my first choice, but I am pretty sure the result would be acceptable. Gatoh would be in charge so it would be okay.

Goddamnit.

It's not terrible, but it shows mecha is outside KyoAni's strengths.

Technically it's well done but whoever directed it doesn't really have an eye for making mecha action look interesting.

>Kyoani's last 2 cour show was Hyouka
What the fuck are you doing Kyoani

I find that hard to believe when it's been in development for at least 4 years now. Kyoani most likely told Gatoh they would do Amagi but not FMP. Still hoping they do Fumoffu s2 if announced.

Yes they have, but not combined like the new FMP requires. TSR and Kyokai were one cour and all their two cour shows are moe moe SoL.

I bet Gonzo was more of an option than them, to be honest.

It's not that hard to believe, basically the same thing happened with Little Busters. They probably wanted KyoAni to do it right after Clannad AS but KyoAni was busy then 3 years later they had to go with another studio instead.
