Additional key visuals are available of Kyoto Animation’s upcoming work “Chuunibyo demo Koi ga Shitai!” – and it seems that aside from growing weary in character design, the studio is also losing creativity elsewhere.
Not enough is it that the females are all conventional moeblobs within this series, Kyoto Animation is seemingly not too colorful when it comes to the mannerisms and gestures of their characters either. Looking through the visuals above and below, for any who have been keeping up with Kyoto Animation’s releases, it’s impossible not to take notice that the characters seem to be engaging in posing which isn’t similar, yet rather, perfectly identical to that seen within their other moeblob adventures – such as K-ON! and Hyouka.
Elements can be recycled only so many times till becoming completely bleak, as if moeblobs and their relevant postures haven’t already – and it’s merely ridiculous the extent to which this has all become a platitude. The visuals manage to be legitimately amusing in how unoriginal they are – making it seem as if one solid reason to watch the series is simply to ridicule the many tropes prevalent.
And serving to actually be somewhat impressive, the generic aspects keep stacking up further whenever more pre-release material is released of this series – already setting it high atop a mountain of unoriginality well before debut.
Assuming this has become the utmost caliber which the studio, Kyoto Animation, can pull together – it has become yet another to follow an unfortunate path.

I like the first 2 girls the best.

Need more moeblobs ? How unoriginal !
The only good thing about the show is that it features enough action and fighting that were contained in characters’ delusions, done in a Black Rock Shooter manner (based on what I heard in some forums), but other than that, it just happens to be another typical romcom now done by KyoAni, with K-ON!-like designs and 200% more moe.

Nichijou was great, although Kyoto Animation unfortunately saw that their efforts won’t sell without moe – now that’s all they make. And the problem isn’t even that the characters are cute, it’s that it’s just K-ON! copied and pasted.

If they make a poor K-ON copy then I will be the first to rise with the pitchforks and the torches and the rrrr rrrrr’s. As is, I’ve seen enough hints of further K-ON material I would rather see as a series…or two…or more movies…..

Or more moeblobs…
Aug 9, 2012 @ 21:18 CDT
I want Yui-blobs, Mio-blobs, Ritsu-blobs, Mugi-blobs and many many many Azunyan-blobs.
To be honest, I don’t see what the copy crow is about. Other than it is “yet another” moe style. But then, this is the decade of moe. Ten to fifteen years ago, it was post-modern angst style…

Moe isn’t the problem, the problem is the characters are just K-ON! character designs with slight alterations – even having identical gestures and mannerisms.
If that doesn’t bother you, great.
Personally, I prefer my creative works to be creative – if that’s not asking for too much.

The lead picture in that article. I’ve never seen Yui or Chitanda packing a Luger.
And since this is yet “another high school life” anime….mannerisms come with the territory….

Like I said, it comes with slight alterations.
“Let’s Redesign K-ON! And Call It ‘Chuunibyo’”
The keyword is “Redesign” – if you put a hat on a cat, it’s still a cat. If you want to talk about guns making this series unique, there’s already a ton of highschool anime series with them.

Ishihara’s the director…it’s gonna be a good series.
Wouldn’t say no to more K-ON!, though
