Considering this is going to be the biggest thing in the anime universe come October, I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion (unless it's maybe buried in the general news thread or something).

No-one even want to rage about the controversial staff appointments? Maybe this is why the anti-JC Staff comments seem to be on the rise...
 
I don't think J.C.STAFF are awful, it's just most of the time I find them disappointing, I didn't find one good anime for them last year at all.

This year so far is a bit different since I like Ano Natsu & the currently airing Joshiraku but they again pump out disappointing stuff like Kill Me Baby or Zero No Tsukaima F.

I haven't played the Little Busters VN so I can't say anything (and I think that goes for a lot of anime fans) but I can see the concerns of them screwing up a massive adaptation like this.

So who knows, I want to check it out anyway.
 
Not one anime that you would even class as "good" from 2011? I have Kimi to Boku marked down as one of the most under-rated shows from the last five years or so - so in that respect I suppose I'm not surprised, but I definitely think you're wrong. :p

That and Bakuman S2 could be argued as "good" for some anime fans but I never watched them, so my comment was more personal rather than actual fact.

At least i'm honest in saying that they have made some good stuff this year so far :)

It looks like **** which is why I didn't bother posting this as a follow up to when I made the thread for when the first PV was unveiled and the show was announced. The fact JC Staff are behind it is the turd icing on the big steamy turd. Don't get me started on the staff.

Not even bothering with it.
