Getting real psycho-pass vibes from the synopsis. Will definitely check it out once it starts airing.

It looks great, and with P.A. Works it's basically guaranteed to have fantastic animation quality. I'm worried about the writing quality though, P.A. don't have much of a history with darker stories and their last attempt, Sirius the Jaeger, was pretty disappointing imo. This has a different director and script writer from Sirius though, a good sign that it won't follow in it's footsteps at least.

The concept and the art-style of the main characters made me hooked!!
Really looking forward to April, again!!

It's quite true that I will be busy getting along with OPM S2, AOT S3 Pt 2, GOT S8 and ENDGAME. But if this anime becomes a worth-watch, I'll definitely gonna do it.

We got the director of DRIFTERS and the original author of GRIMGAR serving as the series composer. Animation wise, P.A. Works has done a neat job in SIRIUS THE JAEGER. I wish they'll do it again.
But story wise, they need to get better.

My expectations are over the roof. I really hope this partnership between the author of grimgar and PA Works can open up a possibility of Grimgar getting a 2nd season even if PA Works don't exectly do adaptations most of the time

I love the mangaka who the made the original character designs. This could be quite promising, but I don't trust the Grimgar LN author making the script, so hopefully it will at least look good and deliver on the gorgeous aesthetic it presented so far.

The premise and style also really reminds me of the manga To the abandonded sacred beasts.

I fear of rushed productions and mediocre storylines, because from what I heard it sounds like a mashup of Violet Evergarden meets Ghost in The Shell, with the stench of isekai/fantasy and some melodramatic fanservice characters as the cherry on top. Dunno, why I made it a sundae, tho...

Visuals will be good and the directing as well, but I'm wary of the script.

Sirius the Jaeger was, incredibly, one of the best action anime I've ever seen. it's a fairly solid story, consistent visuals, actual character development and style.

PA Works created some of my favorite anime I've seen for the last 5 years (Hanasaku Iroha, Nagi-Asu, Shirobako). However, beyond drama type stories, PA Works struggles with action. Hopefully this will be the one they finally hit jackpot.

The synopsis itself had me interested in this anime. The character designs look good and that song near the end of the trailer better be the opening because it's awesome!

I believe that P.A Works did an overall good job with Another and Sirius the Jaeger so I might enjoy this one as well.

Definitely looking forward to this!

Originals and P.A. Works go hand in hand and they’ve usually always excelled, so here’s to hoping this’ll too! Synopsis sounds interesting too and the teaser is quite hype-worthy as well!

We’re in for a blockbuster Spring Season!

yes, thank u for pointing that out, this anime has so much potential to be one of the most EPIC anime to ever EXIST SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, this story and genre has perfect potential, not to mention it's unique as fuck in the anime industry and just in the overall television industry in general, there's no other anime or tv show quite like this, the concept of darker killer fairies is genius, if this anime was gonna be made by madhouse no one would doubt how good its gonna be, PA Works has amazing animation, but yea they dont have any track record for making a show like this, this is something completely new they are trying, and they are being super ambitious, but I have a gut feeling about this one and just the story is so good and has so much potential just from reading the synopsis, I find it hard to believe they would let this flop, just hire a good director and it's as good as guaranteed to be good. I hope they don't disappoint, regardless Im gonna watch it, but I really hope they don't fail to execute this anime properly, it would be a shame to let a story of this caliber be ruined like that.

I know this is going to be a Sirius clone just by checking the genres and let’s be honest, except from good production values, it is going to be bad.

Oh BOY, a new "Militarized [genre fiction variable] Global Management Organization" series, I can't wait to have another one of these plots again.
Who here wants to bet this is going to end with an attack on their HQ because of either an internal breach or a loss of control in their [genre fiction variable], and following an climactic battle with stakes we are told but never really shown the main character will defeat the Bad Guy in one stunning final blow, after which the organization will be disbanded because "their work is done" and these things could NEVER happen twice.
Ugh, I just finished book of bantorra, give me a few minutes before you make me eat this shit again.

I have never really been interested in the anime of this studio ... well besides the original + action stuff. Sirius was a bit boring though. Kuromukuro was nice.

I'm looking forward to this one. Setting and char design seems interesting. And I'm hoping for 2-cour. (With that many chars it would be bad with only 1-cour.)

Hopefully it will be as good as Kuromukuro at least. Director seems experienced and did some nice stuff already. (Even though I have not watched JoJo I watched some other stuff where he has been involved.)

I also look forward to the voice actor Ootsuka, Houchuu - always nice to hear Satou's (from Ajin) VA in other anime. He usually gets some badass looking guys to voice.

I don't expect anything mind blowing out of it, and the CGI fairies are really a terrible decision imo... imagine if JoJo had CGI stands... This being a two cour show I fear that I might end up dropping it halfway but hey let's hope it keeps me at least half entertained.

If it's CGI then it's gonna be trash. PA doesn't seem to have ANY record of doing a decent action anime. They mostly deal in drama and fantasy. I hope it's a drama/ fantasy with a sprinkle of action cause if it's a full on action anime then I don't it's gonna turn out very good. The premise is very interesting tho.

Every anime these days uses cgi. Obviously 'fairy stands' will be often in cgi but thankfully characters are clearly hand-drawn. PA did some action anime like Sirius, Canaan and Kuromukuro. Regardless what you think about their plots, the animation was decent or good.
