Speaking of hits, it seems Your Name and Koe no Katachi might not be able to hit 20 billion and 2 billion as they're projected to have 30% decreases this weekend. Koe no Katachi is already having its screenings reduced because Shochiku is incompetent. Both projected at 18 and 1.8 billion respectively.

Are kyoanus lickers that deluded?
Based on what KyoAni has released these past few years, I have absolutely no reason to think this won't another case of style before substance.

I doubt it will be bad.

Whose categories? The people who thought Phantom Sales and Kyoukai were good?

>written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase. It won the grand prize in the fifth Kyoto Animation Award's novel category in 2014, the first ever work to win a grand prize in any of the three categories (novel, scenario and manga).

But that makes no sense since Kyoani only improves source material.

So it won their in-house competition. Totally unbiased reviews.
The passages I've seen sound like fanfiction by a lonely, horny high schooler.
Let's wait and see what kind of anime it will be. It could be an OVA series, a TV anime movie, another full-blown anime movie, an anime series, a silly series of shorts, or an original net animation series.
