Angel Beats Visual Novel Announcement After Summer [via ann.com]

Angel Beats! visual novel announcement will be “after summer” via animenewsnetwork. Summer in the northern hemisphere ends in August so the earlier we’ll get it is September.

Visual Art’s/Key President Takahiro Baba reported on Twitter on June 5 that an announcement on the potential Angel Beats! game will be after summer.

Baba said in February that fans could expect information before this summer.

An Angel Beats! game adaptation has been a topic of discussion among fans since Maeda revealed a possible adaptation in November of 2010. After two years with little to no updates, Baba re-acknowledged the possibility of a game adaptation on Twitter last October, but stated that the project is not yet at the stage where it can be announced.

It would be. There is no way they can ask the current casts to voice adult version.

While I’m happy and all that AB will get a visual novel adaptation I have a question about the story. I heard the story in the anime got the short-end of the stick with it being a one-cour show leaving out tons of stuff. Does this mean the story will be told in the visual novel as it was meant to be told originally in the anime?

Yes, and no. Anime and visual novels are two very different mediums, so whatever Maeda Jun had in store for the anime won’t translate directly into visual novel format. Key likes doing route romances, so the structure of the story will change, with Otonashi dating each of the girls, and each route revealing some aspect of the environment (just a guess). There will also be tweaks and additions according to professional and fan critiques of the Angel Beats! multimedia franchise.

i don’t think they’ve released enough info yet. the only thing they’ve made clear is that Otonashi is going to be very different from his anime counterpart

KEY doing Angel Beats! as a VN…
Just the thought alone is… dreamlike…
When I first watched Angel Beats! I always thought it originally was an anime adaption of a VN, that’s just how good it was.
And now, it may actually happen?

So, as I pray, Unlimited KEY Works

If KEY would gladly localize this and maybe there will be a chance to make VNs popular in the west.
