This one’s a little bit different from my normal stuff, as I take an in-depth look at the resume of anime screenwriter Hiroyuki Yoshino (of Macross Frontier, Code Geass, and Guilty Crown fame) in anticipation of his forthcoming show Izetta: The Last Witch. I did some fact-checking on this one with a friend who’s much more knowledgable about the anime writing process than I am, so I think it paints a fairly accurate (although inevitably somewhat indecisive) picture of Yoshino and what his involvement with Izetta might mean for the show.

Between the two of us, I think we managed to make people less hyped about Izetta. Judging by the comments on our articles.

Turns out writing hype pieces is kinda hard!

Hype level before and after reading the pieces: exactly the same. (Middling expectations.)
For what it’s worth, I think with regards to Yoshino, the most relevant show seems to be Sora no Woto which I liked. But then I also read a the story description, and that didn’t really fill me with hope (“Gate of hope and destruction”?).
All in all, Yoshino is a neutral presence for me. I suspect, he’s not going to make this show, and he’s not going to break this show.
