That's another thing I'm not getting, this idea that Little Busters would've been any better or worse, just because KyoAni worked on it.


Well, its not exactly a huge leap of faith to say it would have looked better. That's a certainty. And Little Busters probably lost some sales as a result, whether from spite ("No KyoAni, no buy") or from any loss of quality or perceived flaws from going with a "lesser" studio.

Personally, I think the show is not very good and that its mainly a source material problem. Could KyoAni have made a better adaptation and paved over those problems better? Maybe. But since we probably won't see adaptations from both, we're unlikely to ever be able to say for sure. How this effects sales is likewise left purely to speculation. It's hard to imagine this is having a significant impact though. Most people aren't that stupid and most Key/LitBus fans will buy it anyway.

Little Busters would have been far better with KyoAni. I felt that the visual novel of LB was better than Clannad, yet Clannads anime adaption is far better since KyoAni knows how to adapt VNs well plus they do the best animation in the industry. The JC Staff adaption of LB is badly animated and done by someone who doesn't seem to know how to adapt a VN, since they are just throwing in all the scenes together without any kind of cohesiveness.

It has less than half the sales of Clannad while both Clannad and Little Busters had about the same amount of sales and reception in Japan (if you count all the re-releases). The difference in sales if this was KyoAni is very noticeable to me.

It would probably be similar to the difference in Kanon sales...

Kanon 2002 (Toei) - 8k average
Kanon 2006 (KyoAni) - 18k average

You guys are getting off topic. This is a thread directly relating to Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru soudesuyo? Anything else is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the news article. Take your arguments elsewhere.
