Well may as well make an anticipation thread here.

This is from the author of NGNL so I'm very excited to see how this will go. Hopefully it'll be a great adaptation like NGNL and less so like A Dark Rabbit has Seven Lives (which I heard was badly adapted).

So are there any light novels readers that can tell us more about the series? The synopsis seems interesting, but I don't really know much about it than that.

The first time I read the anime adaptation news, I immediately went read the manga and I was pretty much hooked. Have been waiting for the anime adaptation since. Hopefully there'll be any news concerning this soon.

I'm wondering, is the setting actually a clock planet? Similar to the 'games' world in NGNL? I just love that concept, but it's never been done in an anime as far as i'm aware.

Hopefully, it will be good like the light novel.

If it turns out good, hopefully Xebec will make sequels as well. They tend to make dem sequels after all

Yep. The earth has been a ded a long ago, and rebuilt by gears.

The LN was just okay imo, jarring mood shifts and narration problems, anime can fix that I guess.

Well, I would consider asspulls as plotholes, so yeah, NGNL definitely has a lot of them. I guess I could have just said either asspulls or plotholes earlier instead of saying the same thing twice.

Couple things I'm going to throw out--I'm new here, hello community haha--

1.) Yuu Kamiya--No Game no Life maker, famous for that, for this anime, his LN was co-written by Tsubaki Himata. The genre and storyline has that Kamiya aura lol.

I actually stumbled across of this while browsing Soraru's page, I'm glad that AtR is delving more into music industry, I hope they won't stop utaite activities, nevertheless, I'll support their choices.

FripSide is doing the opening, they did an Owari no Seraph opening and is famous for a couple other works--they have this sort of catchy tune trademark with upbeat dance beats lol.

The studio is Xebec, who did infamously To-love-ru and Shaman King, as well as helped in a 2011 Pokemon movie (wow?). I watched the PV, the art style wasn't really appealing. I'm not into those kind of art styles ;/ but that's just my opinion. No Game no Life had a distinct art style (some studios can adapt art styles so quickly, such as Lerche with Assassination Classroom to Huzu no Honkai), but since I'm not truly delving into Xebec, I seem to conclude that their studio style is pretty much similar throughout their work.

That's about it for now, the character designs ooze Kamiya Yuu even though some characters were created by the other author, you got a sleepy protagonist who has a sadistic yandere side for when someone breaks a robot lol, and a terrorist 16 year old girl who's a coldhearted *tsundere* genius.

Still, will give this a shot (Yuu Kamiya is infamous, soundtrack should be 10/10, animation studio is fairly well known). I tend to get overhype about stuff--sorry for the rambling.

^ Katsu-kun, that's pretty much what I felt after the PV. The music is very good, almost FF like, but the character designs look very childish and are a bit of a turn-off.

Well, if the story makes up for it too I'll still stick around!

I have a feeling that this series hasn't been licensed yet for official subs. If it isn't, then just wow.... just "wow" is all I can say.

it will probably be Crunchy. they posted a summary video for it on their twitter a week back. they dont usually post things from shows these don't license. "When" is a better question, seeing that the license holder is TBS and they like to delay international streams for absolutely no reason whatsoever that benefits nobody.

So it figures Crunchyroll is streaming it. I was under the impression that since searching for the series a couple of hours before coming out, came back with no video results (back when SAO 2 was released I remembered it had the countdown on the first ep for about 2 days prior to airing) that it wouldn't be streamed. They just need to make it clearer when they announce those things.
