Lol, sounds good enough for me. I'm definitely willing to give it a try.
Well, I'm not saying that it'll be good or anything, but don't KyoAni's pre-airing PVs always turn out awful? Maybe it'll be good lol!

You're watching the new Hunter right? Because this scene was significantly gorier in the manga and original anime.

That's not a PV for the anime; it's a PV for the LN from a year ago.
I don't get why people are being so negative. Its probably gonna be written by Shoji Gatoh since he's the LN author and the one guy he always collaborates with in KyoAni is Takemoto so this is the long awaited Hyouka followup series. The LN isn't even the KyoAni LN. Its the FMP LN label.
From the description, it seems to be a comedy about the cast trying to save a theme park from going under. That probably explains the Bonta-kun.
So its a comedy written by Gatoh. I thought everyone loved Fumoffu?
I am very hyped.

I want FMP S4.
All KyoAni hype is dead until they actually redeem themselves.
I want a pony too but its just not happening.

Is that how challenges are issued now?
After being burned so many times already, is it THAT much of a surprise people are preparing for the worst?
At least, maybe it'll be entertaining now that expectations have been lowered.
I've been holding out hope due to some comments by Gatoh in 2012 but I think this is the nail on the coffin for me.
You don't feel that the pedigree of Takemoto and Gatoh is enough to give them the benefit of the doubt?

Hana, you had ONE JOB
Next episode is a Mother's Day episode.
Well fuck
Hana, you had ONE JOB
And you only passed because you saved your friends, who you kind of put in danger to begin with.
Kind of sad when you consider Oyajiide's state of affairs here.

I really like the design aesthetic of the show, from the stark black-on-white of the title card:
to the stylish color design that makes certain moments stand out:

I trust KyoAni as far as I can throw it.
Now if only I had a GIF of somebody throwing a moe girl. Preferably off a tall building.

Haha, yeah, no superficial happy episodes for that.

Are you trying to imply Fumoffu wasn't godlike and that the universe wouldn't be enriched by a followup? Those are some blasphemous words sir!
I'd love more Full Metal Panic in the vein of Second Raid too though
The source material makes it much harder to.
Well this does confirm that KyoAni is willing to work with Kadokawa if need be, so there is that. It could also be a special case in that Gatoh has some level of influence in KyoAni. Possibly both. So at least the Hyouka fans should be happy about that.
I was kinda interested in Gatoh's other work though.

Cop Craft: Dragnet Mirage Reloaded seemed really interesting in a setting/tone level but I can see why Amagi got picked over it (in that Gatoh hasn't made much progress with Cop Craft and Amagi is closer to KyoAni's 'normal' stuff).
Tilarna Exedilika, a novice knight that came from another world. Lacks common sense, an innocent beautiful girl.
Kei Matoba, a talented detective of San-Teresa police department. A clumsy man with cat allergy.
In the city that connects parallel worlds with hyperspace gates, the two were ordered to work together.
While being constantly at conflict, Matoba and Tilarna chase after a common enemy.
Gradually, a strange trust begins to develop between them.
----
A hyperspace gate opens above the west coast of America.
On the other side of it lies the world of fairies and monsters. People who live there call it Leto Semani, "Land of Man". Together with Gate, a huge island appears. Now it is named Caliena San-Teresa. It has become the front door to another world and home to over 20 million people. A place where magic culture and Earth culture overlap. The most beautiful and chaotic city glorified as "City of Dreams".

More tall girls can only be a good thing.According to yaraon, something called Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san was also announced as a short anime.
It seems like its Yuri.

Given what I've heard of where it goes I don't think I want to.

Togashi actually started censoring HxH himself in the later portions of the manga since showing overt gore was riskier in modern Jump. As far as current stuff goes, it's most definitely the darkest WSJ series.
So yeah, totally not happy go lucky. It only gets bleaker and more depressing as it goes.
Ah, that makes sense. Well, although it'd be nice if this show was the next Hyouka, I think I'd be fine if I found the show entertaining. I've found pretty much everything Takemoto was involved in entertaining at least, and as zeroshiki said, the combination of him and Gatoh has been pretty good so far. I don't know if people should go into this with tons of hype, but I'm going to try it at least.

This is by far one of the biggest bromances I've seen in an anime.
I want FMP S4
The Murata designs means that it's doomed to be Gonzo.
Its a comedy about a bunch of people trying their best to save a failing theme park. Its not the most original thing in the world but other than the LN character designs, it doesn't really scream generic to me. Wait until the characters are Horiguchi-fied.
Fumoffu is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen so more of that type of show can only be a good thing.
Yeah, a big take away from this is that KyoAni has not retreated to just peddling their own shit and that they still do adaptations of other companies' properties. Of course this could just be Takemoto deciding to do his own thing (the talk during Hyouka was that he was the one who decided to pick it up) and the other directors don't get that luxury.
So you're saying we could have had a show with Takemoto directing, Gatoh writing, a more interesting premise, and better character designs, instead?
It just gets worse and worse.

The worst part about the announcement for me is that the LN character art is terrible, but maybe KyoAni can fix that up. Otherwise Takemoto is a good director, so it comes down to if Gatoh can deliver on the writing front. The "next Hyouka" is obviously not going to happen, but I think it could be a solid comedy.
designs look like shit and probably will be bad, but I still believe in KyoAni

The last novel published for Cop Craft was in 2011 so I have no clue what's going on there. Gatoh might have hit a writing block or it might not be receiving the attention he wanted.
Also the characters are too old for KyoAni standards.
Amagi Brilliant Park is super new, its only upto 2 vols, so it might as well be original. Gatoh is writing both anyway (assumedly).
K-On had really terrible art in the manga too so its not like KyoAni is shy about completely redesigning everything if they felt like it.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
So when I saw the artwork of Wizard Barristers, it instantly screamed Kite and Mezzo. I went to look it up just to see how much gore I'd have to expose myself to and discovered that the same guy, "Umetsu Yasuomi", also did the character design for Galilei Donna. What an amazing departure of style but at the same time, the violence in the hospital scene makes more sense now.
If I remember well (and I'm pretty sure I do), they initially intended for it to be part of the new TV series, as a 7 episode arc. And while they didn't say anything about that, I'm thinking the decision to turn it into a movie instead is the reason we got 7 extra servings of Endless Eight.
Cute...moe....same difference
well there may be a few... *pushes you into the colisseum
It does look that way but Ill give it a couple episodes.
