I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Looks good. One of the strongest points of Honoo no Kokuin was character design so it's good to see Kanno on board. I wonder how long will it be. |
| Definitly looking forward to this. |
 |
| Somehow doesnt grab me by the D with the pv so no thx im good |
| Somehow you can see the resemblance with Gundam Unicorn with the char artlines, color and even the music. Guess that's to be expected of the same director. I really like what I've seen from Unicorn and this PV so I'll be keeping an eye out for this. |

| Looking forward to this! |
| When I saw the MC in the art and then saw that Murase is voicing him, I was a bit surprised, but then I saw the PV and then it made sense to me. The mix of the cast looks interesting, happy to see Tsuda, Konishi and KENN, seems like they'll have prominent roles in this if they aren't mains as well. |
| So excited! The PV looks great and cast sounds good too. I really hope for a 2 cour (at least 24+ episodes). Hope MAPPA can make it happen. |
 |
| Looking really nice from that preview, def one of my most expected series for next year. |
 |
| Hmm an anime show about Ottoman Empire huh? Haven't started to reading manga but I think I'll start to watching Anime since I'm lazy to read Manga ~ Seiyuu cast is also great. Hope they'll adapt Vinland Saga as well in the future :/ |
 |
| Looks good. I will watch it |
| Not a fan of Mappa. But this could turn out better than their other anime. 50% chance of watching. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Looks good to me, sign me up! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Can turn to be something good or just another gay MAPPA anime |
 |
| Gotta love how because of Yuri on ice some people are scared that its going to be gay now. |
|
| Politics + fantasy... SO. MUCH. HYPE. This jumped to my Top 3 anticipated for 2017~ MAPPA's animation is superb too, can't wait to see the fights. :D Hinata as the lead tho, wut. |
| as historical fans, i should watch this... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| shit!! historical!! hype!! the freaking art is amazing in the manga I just hope it won't be shit in the anime. I've been putting the manga on hold, I guess now's the time. |

| As I thought... It's impossible to retain the manga art style. Let's hope they won't tune down the violence so much. |
| Great, don't have to pick up the manga again then. I liked the manga, but it was somewhat tiring to read with lots of explanations. |
 |
| As a fan of Mappa, I'll watch almost anything they dish out, I really enjoy their anime and animation style like Ushio to Tora, Shingeki no Bahamut and YOI. Almost thought this was the awaited Magi season three though because of the designs... |
 |
| Love the political and mind games in the manga, i hope they depict that part well. |
| Never would've thought I'd see one of my uncles' name in a manga/anime, let alone as the main character's name lol. Referencing Turks? Makes me happy. On my PTW. > Zağanos Zehir. This dude's name literally means poison. Alright This manga has been going on since 2007?! Woah. A tiny bit surprising that it gets an adaption now. Not complaining though! |

"I kinda missed you guys, and it looks like it's gonna rain" |
| Hopefully it will be better than the likes of Arslan Senki and Akatsuki no Yona. I'm tired of how this kind of anime never delivers. |
