>and no one gives a shit If you remember, they were growing tomatoes, but now they're suddenly making a most likely 25-50 episode anime adaptation of Piano no Mori, since it's an NHK anime.
Staff Director: Gaku Nakatani (Madagascar 3 CG supervisor) Series Composition: Aki Itami (Aku no Hana), Mika Abe (Onihei) Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Sumie Kinoshita (Dantalian no Shoka) Studio: Fukushima Gainax Production: Piano no Mori Anime Partners
Ending Theme: "Kaeru Basho ga Aru to Iu Koto" by Aoi Yuuki
Cast Kai Ichinose: Soma Saito (Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records) Sousuke Ajino: Junichi Suwabe (Uchouten Kazoku) Shuuhei Amamiya: Natsuki Hanae (Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau) Kai Ichinose (Elementary): Ryoko Shiraishi (Natsu no Arashi!) Shuuhei Amamiya (Elementary): You Taichi (Princess Principal)
Am I naive to think that this will be a complete adaptation of the manga, since it's finished? The fact that it's an NHK production makes me hopeful at least.

Full adaptation hype! Absolutely loved the manga, hope it'll be a good one.
Brayden Flores
We don't know if it will be a full adaptation, but hopefully it is.
Luis White
You can't kill Gainax.
Tyler Morgan
Just watch the Madhouse movie. It's really good.
John Hernandez
>Piano no Mori I vaguely remember watching the movie years ago and I don't remember anything that happened, but cool. More of stuff like Pleiades would be nice though.
Matthew Long
Pleiades is what killed them for a while.
Just read the manga.
Same with Gonzo. At least Gainax are more capable visually than them.
Lucas Baker
>Pleiades is what killed them for a while. It was a good death.
Lucas Thompson
Maybe it was for the best for them to grow tomatoas for a while and get back to making some good anime for once.
Luis James
>At least Gainax are more capable visually than them
I will give them that that they have more talent but Gonzo is way more ambitious than them. Sore ga seiyuu, AOTS. Akiba's trip, comedy of the season. 18if, underrated anime of the season.
Meanwhile nobody is hearing anything from Uru in Blue in ages.
Luis Howard
Sore ga seiyuu was good, the other two were straight up trash. Akiba's strip had some charm, but it had nothing else going on, the designs were cute as well.
To be honest, most of the talent from both studios left already. David Productions were made from Gonzo members. Khara and Trigger and NUT were made with previous Gainax members.
Gainax are still most likely fine.
Eli King
>NUT were made with previous Gainax members
Huh, really?
Isaiah Gutierrez
NUT were formed from ex-Gainax and ex-Madhouse members, yes.
Hudson Sanders
literally the last nut of gainax
Nathaniel Cox
same for Madhouse
Leo Watson
I don‘t know why, but his hair infuriates me.
Elijah Bell
It looks like a shitty broom so I don't blame you.
Lincoln Ortiz
it's shit is why
Josiah Edwards
Loved the manga. I'm legitimately more excited than I've ever been for an anime in a long time.
Asher Wilson
Gainax are only Gainax in name now. All the big hitters have left. Who cares.
Elijah Rogers
I always thought that once were part of madhouse for no reason at all. Something about them feels like old madhouse, whatever that means.
Michael Lee
Aren't they also doing some Leiji Matsumoto stuff?
Unironically, I also went what the fuck. That dude mostly worked on Western cartoon CG shit.
Evan Baker
I mean Madagascar 3 had sick CG so I'm not that concerned
Blake Stewart
Gainax is back, but it's Called A1+TRIGGER
Aaron Cruz
I think that CG depends a lot on the equipment you have though, since rendering each frame takes forever. And if your equipment sucks you have to cut corners to meet the deadlines, ending up with trash like Berserk CGI. And we don't know if Gainax has money for disney level CGI (in fact they most likely don't). Meanwhile, drawn stuff depends mostly on the talent of the artists in the project.
Tyler Rogers
That shit has nothing to do with Gainax. It's a shitty mix of Aquarion Evol and typical A1 boring drama.
Alexander James
their director's biggest credit was animation supervision on fucking madagascar 3 and their chief animation director has only ever worked as a character designer you're gonna wish gainax was dead after this fucking trainwreck
Ryder Cruz
yet somehow this still looks really good and promising
Jack Cooper
It's not a hard manga to animate to be honest.
Ayden Price
true
Joseph Mitchell
>their chief animation director has only ever worked as a character designer I don't know where you got that from, but it's not true.
Isaiah Lopez
Pleiades is actually what gives them a hope to stay in the industry.
Nicholas Taylor
...
Jack Garcia
like what?
Nicholas Watson
This is Fukushima Gainax, not the original Gainax.
