The studio is definitely a surprise, and not exactly a good one, but well, if 5toubun, Tokyo Revengers and Kanojo mo Kanojo proved something is that you don't need a high quality production to get a decent or even huge boost in sales, and at least being a 2022 release, it doesn't look like is going to be super rushed.

A bad studio choice, a lot of incompetence on Kodansha/producer and a reoccurring issue I'm noticing.

Those examples are poor since the former 2 at least had good growth prior to the anime so the anime could only push it further. Orient on the other hand doesn't have that so it's far harder to get a boost especially more so when the adaptation does not seem that promising.

I'm happy with the CD/composer but the rest, especially the director & studio is alarming for me. Btw UQ Holder also had a long release time and look how it's anime turned out so I would lower expectations. The studio hasn't done 2 cour anime in well over a decade either so yeah that makes it worse.

Character design looks pretty good, nothing to complain on that at least

There's no doubt that the designs look good but tbh they look watered down in the key visual.

I was watching the crunchyroll stage and the series compositor - Mariko Kunisawa - was pretty much saying how she had to cut/rearrange a lot of the material. She could be talking about the slow pacing it had with the earlier arcs (which is good since the pacing could use a lot of work) or they have to cram a lot of stuff into 1 cour (which is worst case scenario). Like I said before, this studio hasn't done 2 cours in well over a decade...

Some of the backgrounds for the anime looks pretty nice
Using the inspect command, I was able to download those images in their entirety.

Looks like Orient is getting childrens book (aoitori bunko) this October by Shimotchi (Truck Uketome Isekai Tensei!: Nekketsu Butouha Koukousei Wataru!!)

The PV looks better than expected in some areas but it does look like the production is struggling. I'm hoping we see Aito Ohashi (pkmn XYZ/SM animator) animate the fights & think there's a good chance of him coming

Tsugumi will be voiced by Rie Takahashi (Megumin from Konosuba) & Naotora will be voiced by Satoshi Hino (Rengoku from KnY)

Tsugumi is my fav part of this PV, she looks too cute



I think it's most likely going to be 1 cour and it'll be airing on TV Tokyo too. Hoping for good OP/ED

I agree it looks better than expected while in others looks a bit meh, but tbh, Orient in terms of visual feels like a hard series to bring in anime form, so considering the studio, seems like a pretty decent job so far and characters visual at least look on model the entire PV.

Orient character PV

This production is struggling a lot. Looks bad just like the first PV. It's sad that Orient got this treatment, even compared to series that had similar sales like EZ & Fumetsu. Dumb Kodansha
