Ishida himself made the choice for the anime to go in this direction.

The name appears to be a pun - Root A, "Route A." There will probably be a "Root B," and that may play out the same way as the manga. Don't treat it like the manga, treat it like its own story, because that's what it is.

I'm happy that he's able to play with other ideas like this.
