| Quote: | | Since ef is based on a PC game, the plot really branches out depending on user's choices, so the staff held many production meetings deciding on which path to take as the story we would animate. You might be aware of the story composition if you've seen the show, and that we made it very sophisticated by interweaving the chronological orders, location, and characters. |
Curiously this is actually completly wrong, in difference to most VNs ef features no branches at all. It is a linear story were each chapter follows different characters. The anime did mix up things somewhat though by having the chapters occur simultaniously.

Well then. I was sort of hoping for him to expand a bit more on the influence of Simbo, and the SHAFT style, because that seems to be a massive area of fan misconception. Anyway, really great interview! Very informative.
Kyubey was definitely a great choice for the best head tilt. I can't think of anyone who's done it better, personally.

The background looks like a Starbucks.

I would've loved a question or two about March comes in like a lion, and a thing I'm also curious about is how he would have responded on a question regarding the obvious production issues with many Shaft works (though I'd expect an evasive answer on questions like these).

Another reason is that working on a derivative work is probably a better business decision since you working on something that already has an established fan base. To make an original work, I define this as having no source material (novels, comics, games, toys, etc.) besides the initial sketches/storyboard ideas.
