>tarnishing Ryutaro's legacy and replacing him with a literal WHO director
>replacing the iconic VAs with mainstream seiyuu trash
>it's a reboot
>studio Lerche
So, this is guaranteed trainwreck right?
>>159852935
at least wait for a trailer
Wait til the first PV drops and then we'll know for sure.
It will be Kino
>>159853237
>>159853234
Nope
A different director already ruined everything
>>159853234
>>159853237
>implying
You really think someone can top Ryutaro's Kino?
>>159853456
>>159853526
>he ranks anime by director
Yeah, alright.
>>159853638
The director is literally the most important person on a project.
>>159852935
>it's a reboot
What?
>>159852935
They are trying to make Kino a mainstream hit but it's not meant to be one.
>>159853707
casting includes Tii so it's clear that it will go beyond the original adaptation
>no scanlines
The original series was already basically perfect, S2 is bound to go downhill.
>>159853821
The novels are pretty damn popular.
>>159853456
>A different director already ruined everything
So it was ruined the instant they announced it, or what? Nakamura is fucking dead, it was always going to be a different director.
>>159854464
Didn't have to be a shit one.
>>159852935
>studio Lerche
Guaranteed AOTY, then.
Should have delayed it to 2018 and let Shaft make it.
>>159853650
Arima shut the fuck up
>>159854464
Didn't have to be a LITERAL who director.
>>159853266
I just want to point at the fact that there is a character called Photo in the novel
>>159852935
Aoi Yuuki really wanted to do it though.
>>159854903
Lerche is a subpar animation studio. Honestly you can barely even call them an "animation" studio.
>>159856166
A.C.G.T isn't amazing either.
>>159852935
Honestly Kino isn't really suitable for animation. Even the older anime was kinda dull.
>>159856260
It had the right staff though, and that's what made it a masterpiece.
So far the staff for this new adaption is not promising.
>>159856286
>kinda dull
Coliseum arc was one of the most thrilling arcs I've seen in all of anime.
>>159856166
>>159856260
Shaft is the only of the two old studios which could have produced a high-profile anime.
even worse it's aoi's grating voice
out of her voices they had to choose that one?
>>159856158
>>159856454
Yuzuru was the best part of Koe no Katachi so I'm not worried
>>159852935
>Ryutaro
This dude ruined Kino, he injected his obtuse Lain bullshit into the poor stories every chance he got.
>the land of books epsiode
>>159856158
And the author requested her to perform
Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6NpLKhUDnQ
>>159857045
She sounds so fucking awful. Why is she making Kino sound so cutesy and shit?
Also why does Hermes sound like a bishounen?
>>159857086
I don't know. Probably because nothing is eternal in the world
>It's a reboot
Dropped
Was it really necessary?
>>159856335
The character designs were atrocious, the backgrounds, animation and acting were ordinary at best.
It was saved by a decent story and a good director, but the production values were subpar.
>>159852935
You need to kill yourself, this isn't even out yet and you're already showing how much of a moron you are. I personally don't mind a new fresh take on Kino after all these years, for what I care you can go fuck off and rewatch the original till your head explodes.
>>159852935
To be honest, I greatly enjoyed Persona 3's fourth movie. I thought it's best possible interpretation of last part of the game. The liberties it took with the story were just right at every turn.
>>159857045
Aoi Yuuki is a pretty talented VA with a great range, but goddamn does that voice she chose to do for Kino not fit. Nobody would've ever believed that this was a boy.
>>159856378
I loved that arc.
>>159858954
>decent story
This is bait. You know Kino is episodic, right?
>>159858545
There is literally nothing wrong with lewding the Kino.
>>159861208
>fresh take on Kino
This is a bastardization of Kino.
>>159862315
Kill yourself.
>>159862297
What? Episodic doesn't mean there isn't a story.
