Key News Blog Discussion

As Spring begins and Summer rolls ever closer, more information has yet again spilled forth via Dengeki G's about the upcoming Key original anime Charlotte.

Fans have been asking many questions about who will be working on the series and what it will look like. With this, we now know a few names behind the new series, our first key visual, as well as what looks like an airing window.

Yoshiyuki Asai will be directing. He has previously worked on Storyboard and as Episode Director for certain episodes of shows such as Angel Beats!, Blast of Tempest, CANAAN, Soul Eater, and Tari Tari.

Kanami Sekiguchi is adapting Na-Ga's character designs. Her work has featured in CANAAN, Hanasaku Iroha, Shirobako, and Tari Tari.

Kazuki Higashiji will be serving as art director, previously having worked as art director for Angel Beats!, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Tari Tari.

Satoki Iida will feature as sound director for the series, having worked on Amagami SS, Amnesia, Angel Beats!, Danganronpa the Animation and many more.

And possibly the most awaited news; it has been confirmed that Charlotte will air this summer, July 2015! Turns out Pepe's prediction of a July air date based on the Key Calendar was correct!

So, what do you guys think of the news? Will you be catching Charlotte as it airs?

Back in one of our Monthly Terras, Pepe proposed the idea that, since in the Comiket Key Calendar, Charlotte was used as the image for July, he proposed that the series would air in July. Turns out he was right!

They picked a nobody to be the director. A nobody who doesn’t even have a profile on MyAnimeList yet. But, well, everyone has to start somewhere… hopefully he’ll do a good job of directing Charlotte.

A lot of the info seems to be actual animation-related this issue around. I honestly feel that there’s still a lot more to this Dengeki G’s issue that hasn’t yet been revealed. It technically comes out on Monday, so all this info is from a leaked copy, I’m assuming. But hey, here’s hoping we get more info to come!

I’m not one to really check staff of anime before watching, so I don’t really have any comments about the staff working on it.

Who…?

Ohmygod what?? Now I’m excited for my playlist’s future!

No no no. He’s a good experienced episode director, who was in charge of some of the best episodes of those series. He just hasn’t been a lead director before.

Pffft, MAL? That isn’t how you judge someone working in the anime industry. That isn’t what MAL is. They have that feature, but it’s just a bonus, and thousands of great people are either missing from the site, or without a full list of their roles.
You go to ANN for information on staff - not a website for noting down what anime you’ve watched.
