The fates of these two men and those around them intertwine as they fight to protect mankind and destroy monstrous abominations known as Players, who ironically are the creations of the Amagi Corporation, the company founded by Kouga’s grandfather, Mitsugai Amagi.

The fact that it is Kyoto Animation is good enough, what's more is the key animator did K-on!, what more could I ask for???

The premise of Kokoro Connect sounds interesting. I highly doubt that it will even come close to K-On, but the fact that KyoAni is involved makes me think that it at least had the potential.

I'm indifferent about the other two adaptations.

Thanks for the news, Sora!
