Kyoto Animation finally adapting a Shoujo/Josei manga into anime? In what universe are we in now?

Amazing get by KyoAni, this is pretty much a perfect fit for Ishidate in the same vein as the Violet Evergarden movie's tone and pace

Didn't expect this, it's not usually in their wheelhouse and even design style wise it's not very Kyoani in-house style friendly (though I'm personally not a fan of their studio's specific character design sensibilities so the less noticable they are the better for me). As for making it a movie, this is an introspective 9 volume manga so there's going to be lots of cuts and I'm not confident about it. Granted, I'm still missing the last three volumes of the manga to know how it could be condensed, but I'm afraid they will miss many of the nice character development and journey. While there's stuff that sure you can trim, I don't want a Silent Voice situation where some of the stuff they cut was the most interesting things (like Shoko's mother's insight). Though on terms of tone and mood at the very least I'm more confident they will nail this one than Silent Voice which was jarring.

I haven't read the manga, but it seems to be one of those needing of some grounded-ness. If that's the case, there's better be no violet evergarden overdramaticism, more contemplative depiction on the higher emotional notes might suit this one better (judging only from the synopsis).

Is the manga that tonally different from the movie? I can't even imagine what it would have to be like to make the movie feel "jarring", which is not a word I'd use about any Naoko Yamada work. |

Basically, the manga isn't absorbed in that Naoko Yamada extremely nostalgic youthful evocative feel the movie has, it honestly opens with way more child meanspirited current in the actions, humor, tone, etc. that fits the MC and friends's shitty behavior and fits with their mindset when bullying the girl. When the turn happens and the focus is on the highschool MC, while he is more subdued he still has a lot of the anger and pettiness inside (some from masqueraded self hatred, some from disgust towards other classmates back then, but it's way more pronounced). That, plus the actions of other characters (Shoko's mother's severeness, the black haired girl's pettiness, Kawai's blame-shifting and the other guy's radical hatred of bullies underneath that nice everyday attitude), as well as some occasional imagery (like the character imagining breaking his younger self's neck)... that crudeness while fading away is still lingering while you are watching, which makes the moments of slowly getting better and achieving peace, communication or redemption always having that fragility that mirrors the MC's anxiety and allows it to execute it so well. It's by the end that the tone gets the hopeful optimistic tone.
The movie captures very little of that, and while it tries to adjust the scenes to fit this tone, it ends up feeling dissonant because the story and character actions were made to support the tone described earlier, so with that and the cuts some characters' actions make no sense, some of the humor feels out of place (like the scene with the MC and his mother where the money he saved ends up burning, or the MC's sister). It just doesn't have a tone that fits this story. I recommend the ANN podcast with Zac and Jake Hope about the movie when it came up, Jake in concrete lays out a lot of my problems with the tone. |

Honestly I would've just been happy to know KyoAni picked up any shojo, but something like Credits, a more "atypical" shojo from Mystery Bonita, absolutely made my day!
Between this and Science SARU, my other favorite studio, picking up another Mystery Bonita manga with A Witch's Life in Mongol, I'm very happy! I can only hope the anime adaptations of both these series will mean they get their flowers over here with English-speaking audiences. |

The manga is too long at 9 volumes but there isn´t a 2-hour movie stuck inside it either, and you have to reach the actual ending to "get" anywhere. A bad format without a fully reworked feature script, as let´s say Akira or Scott Pilgrim got. A 13 eps show I could have seen working. A watchable mess in the making?
