 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| 2 cours of original Satelight TV anime. This could easily be a hit or a miss. On the other hand, I like the premise or what it sounds like so far. PV looks alright too. |
 |
| Was that synopsis Google translated from Japanese? It sure seems like it. PV doesn't look like much, not impressed. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Well, its original work so i give it a shot. |

| is it just me or is tomoaki maeno cast in everything these days |
| I see giant monsters and mecha, so I'm onboard. xD |
 |
| looks like shit to be honest |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
JizzyHitler said: looks like shit to be honest I thought the same. The mecha is awful and the story seems a bit dull too. I like mecha animes but i'm not sure this one will be really interesting. |
| Too much Macross Delta vibes. Less ugly anime plz thx. |
 |
| the staff in this seems pretty bad. |
 |
| I want Kawamori to return back to his glory days so he can make good anime again. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| No idols involved, thanks god. |
| Fuck Kawamori, no more benefit of the doubt for him. Evol, Delta and now movie for Delta. He just asks to be despised. And series reminds me too much of M3. On a side note, damn, Touyama is everywhere now. Too bad she gets casted so badly. She can talk to herself in 8 characters yet it's pretty much the same voice in every anime. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Eh...I feel like premises like this that go everywhere are rarely breakthroughs. |

| this might be the technological singularity concept im waiting for in anime |
| Anything by Satelight is an instant PTW for me, and with Based Kawamori at the helm, I already know that this is going to be something out of the ordinary. The PV gives me a lot of Arjuna vibes, especially with that synopsis. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens airing in Winter 2018. Macross Delta Movie will release in February 2018. Juushinki Pandora being two-cour will cover Spring and Summer 2018. Which means that the new Macross will air in Fall 2018. Looks like Satelight is completely booked for 2018. They have a lot of work to do, so they better start planning ahead if they want to keep themselves consistent... |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The first 50 seconds were promising. The rest was just.. dull. |
 |
| on second thought after reading the synopsis this is more like an accidental type of technological singularity though and i do not think it will focus much on sci-fi stuff so gonna wait for more info before i watch this |
Katsu-kun said: The first 50 seconds were promising. The rest was just.. dull. Because the mecha showed up after 50 seconds in? Yes and no. I'm not against mecha, but this one looked pretty hideous and cheap. On the other side, lovely background art and OST, props to that. And I doubt that it's Kajiura. |
|
| Besides the terrible translation, that synopsis sounds like a garbled mess of as many random "cool sounding" words and acronyms as possible awkwardly crammed together. Female character introduced by giving the most shrill, jolting, obnoxious sounding performance. Like literally her first line almost made me tear my headphones off. Coupled with the angry finger-pointing, you know she's gonna be a straight up annoying cunt. But she has a cute character design (and a vagina) so it's ok. Dude seems kinda toneless and just all around boring. Even his "wacky anime hair" just looks tired. That shitty CG and hilarious awkward mech fighting, and her shrill dying-cat shrieking in the background... Man oh man there is absolutely nothing appealing about this whatsoever. |

All the concepts are there so at least it's understandable. The English flow is something that takes years to master so don't feel bad and keep working at it because it's not too far off. If you can partner with an English editor you'll be alright. |
| First half of the PV: What? A down-to-earth sci-fi, aka. not science fantasy like Japan always does?!?! Sign me u~ Second half: I give up all hope in Japanese ever doing anything properly sci-fi |
 |
| this is interesting looking enough for me to put aside my general lack of care for mech-related anime |

| oh look cgi... also i can no longer take the red and yellow hairstyle seriously after watching yuri on ice |
 |
| Quinny You: Kana Hanazawa Also new key visual http://moca-news.net/article/20171127/2017112718000a_/01/ |

| Mmh. Might wait to see what general consensus of the plot is but it does look nice on visuals alone. |
