Kanon Writer Naoki Hisaya to work on Sora no Method Anime

A teaser website has opened for the new Anime 'Sora no Method', and it has been confirmed that Naoki Hisaya will be writing for it. To those less familiar with the name, Naoki Hisaya was the main scenario writer for Kanon, before quitting Key following its completion. Hisaya previously worked on 'One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e' and 'Moon.' as part of Tactics, before Key was formed. Kanon fans might want to keep an eye on this production.

No doubt I’ll be checking this out as soon as it airs.
Apparently more info comes out on it this weekend ~!

I saw this earlier… Definitely going to be watching it when it comes out…

Yo yo, I always wondered what happened to that guy, he sort of disappeared after Sola.
I’m absolutely there, no matter what.

I can’t help but chuckle a bit at how they’re advertising it as by the “Kanon writer” when it was written 15 years ago, and he left Key and hasn’t written much since then. Of the 3 routes her wrote (Ayu, Nayuki, Shiori), I thought Ayu’s was pretty legit in the VN (I much preferred Maeda’s routes :|).
I’m interested to see how this will turn out.

I actually liked his routes from One ~Kagayaku Kisetsu e~ more.

Here’s a PV, also a new promo shot on the site featuring more characters.
I saw the promo art first so one guy in 5 girls made me fear it was a Harem, but that’s clearly not the case with the PV, the sidetail girl(Nonoka) is obviously the main, the blue haired girl(Noel) is clearly more important than the rest of the characters too since she was in the original promo picture and has a standout design.
The other four are more than likely the other four children with sidetail-tan in a circle at the start of the PV, and there is no fucking way they didn’t promise something related to the giant space egg in the sky during that scene. Chances are the circle of friends has fallen apart however, since it seems to me that the long haired girl(Shione) is abrasive, her face generally seems frowny in both PV and promo art.

If I had to throw a guess out there, and to stress, this is 100% assumptions from me not based on anything but observations, I’d say a good chunk of the series will follow sidetail as she tries to get her friends back on track to keeping the space egg related promise, and also being friends again in general.

The blue haired girl is a wildcard, seems to be a supernatural being, since she’s there with loli-sidetail without any appearance difference, what part she’ll play I’m not too sure.

Man I can’t help but feel I just described AnoHana there.

Also there is a giant space egg in the sky that’s probably important.

I’m completely spitballing here mind you, I picked up a good deal of what was being said in the voice over but not all of it, so I could just be spouting some garbage against what’s actually been stated for alI know.

You know, one of the things I’ve always liked in… Well, any story, is time passing. It’s a pretty simple but effective way to show ‘coming of age’ and how bonds can dissipate- But still be salvageable very quickly because of how strong they are. True friendship stands the test of time. Seems like all the friends grow up- Except for Noel.

Apparently people don’t notice the thing that’s always there, but it seems that they did. Perhaps they forget about it and the girl is a part of being able to notice it, or comes with noticing it (most likely latter). I’ll assume Nonoka is going to be the first of our friends to notice it again or remember. Seems to be our Jinta.

Anyways, just the assumed plot stuff here have me very excited to see this. I love friendship things~ Hard to tell, but there’s certainly a bit of craziness going on. What’s Nonoka crying for. ;_;

Waaah! That black haired girl with the headphones is adooorable =w= I’m a fan of this anime~

I have no idea what is going on in it, but it has a very sci-fi-esque look to it. The kinda story where the Sci-fi element isn’t apparent without reading between the lines.

Honey and Clover in a nutshell o.o;

Second character sprite, this time for Koharu.
