On the heels of today's Kanon finale came the news that Kyoto Animation is going to be animating the
Key game
CLANNAD. Rumors had been circulating about this, but
the website just went live and they aired an commercial for it. Given that I think KyoAni has done a fantastic job with both AIR and Kanon, I can't wait to see this. Heck, this commercial already got the opening song
Megumeru stuck in my head.
The director is going to be
Ishihara Tatsuya (who has done AIR, Kanon, and Suzumiya Haruhi) and the announced cast are
Nakahara Mai as Nagisa Furukawa,
Hirohashi Ryou as Fujibayashi Kyou,
Kanda Akemi as Fujibayashi Ryou,
Kuwashima Houko as Sakagami Tomoyo,
Nonaka Ai as Ikubi Fuuko, and
Noto Mamiko as Ichinose Kotomi.
You can watch the commercial
Stage6.
