I usually don't pay attention to the animation studio after a single anime but after 2-3 from the same studio, then it usually becomes one of my favorite animation studios or not depending on the number of animes I like from it.

KyoAni hasn't had a real fop yet. Nothing that has seriously challenged their reputation in the anime community.
Lucky Star may have polarized some of that community, but the work was still up to par. Kanon and Clannad have been beautiful for the most part. The biggest rage has been from the Haruhi and FMP camps wanting more. More so from the Haruhi camp due to the continual teasing ads. Munto (TV) on the other hand could be a risk...no one knows what will happen after they finish adapting the OVAs for television. The reactions so far have been mixed, but that seems to be largely due to the "dated" material and opinions of those that saw the OVAs already not being impressed a second time around. Also those that are waiting out until the OVA based material ends before starting to watch it.

Planetarian - a movie will settle it. Rewrite - an OVA will settle it. LB - we'll need another 4 cour, like how CLANNAD is right now. Therefore, with CLANNAD lasting 1 1/2 years, I see it as just about nicely in time for the next MAJOR Key game.

BTW little busters is considerably shorter than CLANNAD, so it could perfectly fit into a 2 cour schema without pushing it too much. That only leaves an eventual Tomoya After OVA series, possibly a Rewrite series when the time comes and that'd be it.

Thanks for the information, ShimatheKat. It turns out we were agreeing more than arguing, so no problem.

I'm not trying to argue, don't take it like that, just raising a point. Haruhi simply grabs one's attention more than Key, often regardless of one's favorite genres. Quote:

Personally, I hope that KyoAni firmly steps away from Haruhi and Full Metal Panic, simply because constantly doing more of the same doesn't make a great portfolio. I would put a lid on all fanboy expectations regarding Key as well. Just because a Key story exists doesn't mean it has to be retold in animation. Little Busters! will definitely get an anime adaptation, as it was one of the best selling eroge properties of 2007/2008, Rewrite as well (Ryuukishi-07 + Maeda + Romeo :hype:), I'm just not confident KyoAni will take the job. For the immediate future, I hope that they take charge of K-ON! and eventually restart the Tonari no 801-chan project. |

It's not for sure. Like Lucky Star.

I wouldn't mind a shoujo series from them either, such as a Fruits Basket season 2 or such (the big character eyes even suit them), but I'm probably dreaming. Unless Munto TV counts as shoujo action? |

It's an example of a late-night anime receiving mainstream attention (6.6% viewership rating).

I haven't heard of any official partnership myself.
Naturally, the companies have a good relationship since the shows sell so well. VisualArt's even mentioned that their desire would be for Kyoto Animation to handle Little Busters! when the time comes. However, where long-term plans are concerned, I doubt anything's set in stone. |

Sorry, but Nodame Cantabile was unbelievably boring (and wasn't animated lol, seeing as half the show was stills [/gripe]). It may have had wider viewership during airing, but comparatively in terms of merchandise and DVD sales...? Haruhi got attention only about halfway through anyway, most people (granted, from viewers like us, not mainstream) "picked it up" after it started receiving major otaku attention and it snowballed from there. And in the end, it's the sales of "everything else" that qualify a series, not just what goes on during airing.
To answer your speculation though, "if Haruhi were released today"... based on the past 3 or so seasons, a "Haruhi" is exactly what the anime medium needs right now. We really haven't had any phenomenon of the sort since Lucky Star, and most shows in current or recent seasons go unnoticed or are virtual clones of their genre. If anything, KyoAni's might be hoping to capitalize on these "low" seasons by putting off Haruhi and slowly building up to it, but I hope for their sakes it doesn't destroy their loyal fans if it hasn't already. The Key adaptations please their fans (even though I was pretty discouraged at the start of After Story, it's gotten better). But all I'm really waiting for is the next "big" series, be it the Haruhi sequel, or the HagaRen (FMA) remake, etc. Honestly though, I'm surprised that we'll prolly see HagaRen come out before the Haruhi sequel, lol. |

Other than your personal opinion, if we compare the franchises....

Of course, I can't say anything for sure, being that the entire visual novel-genre is so extremely niche outside of Japan that hardly anything ever gets released anywhere else, so the only one of Key's visual novels I've actually... eh... experienced myself is Planetarian, which I really hope they'll make a movie or OVA of, because despite being the single most depressing thing I've ever seen, it was still a great story.

True, but I somehow get the impression that LB isn't quite as depressing as Key's other works... But maybe I just think so because the opening theme-song is so upbeat and happy compared to Key's other stuff. But yeah, there'll definitely be more than enough tear-jerking moments in there if they do make a Little Busters-anime... Which I really hope they do, because Key=Awesome.
