Four panel manga けいおん! / K-On! (by Kakifly) is set to receive an anime adaptation, due to air in the spring, and handled by none other than Kyoto Animation.
Their usual illustrative style permeates the character design noticeably; above you see the original, below is the anime version:
As you might guess, guitars will feature.
A studio with a distinct visual style indeed. See also the earlier imagining of what a KyoAni Little Busters! might look like.
Clearly, they have better things to do than waste their time on minor franchises…
Wow so this is where the whole K-on thing started huh? Wow its almost sad how big it got and it ended poof.
Hmm
I wish the animation and character design didn’t look like Kannagi.
It seems like Japanese animators have a hard time keeping design quality with frame rate. Kyo Ani sacrificed design quality and detail, to have smoother movements.
It’s nice to look at (very rotoscope-like) but it makes the characters look dull and colorless by comparison.
The animated ending video. nice movement, but everyone looks so lifeless.
Is there gonna be TTFAF?!!!
Can’t wait for the doujins.
Will be looking forward for it.
