| That picture ain't too interesting... Sakana-san said: nope.A mecha otaku is |
 |
| heard this is a super wish fulfillment like series, but hey its got mechs so at least theres that, They'll likely be terrible CGI mechs though so ill almost certainly pass. |

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 |
| Sounds promising but cant help but be kinda reminded of Hundred just that it has no harem,romance tags. With the whole mecha and knights thing. Oh well did anyone read the novel and can perhaps share bit of info as to how the characters and the story is? :) |

When's the last time we got to see some actual good mechs? That Gundam series perhaps? You know, the one with the orphans. This one's literally screaming "shitty LN adaption" therefore it's a big no-no for me. iron blooded orphans has potential to be really good as long as the 2nd half doesnt shit the bed, fafner exodus was outstanding and one of the best mecha shows for me, concrete revolutio is criminally underrated though theres only a few mech fights. the genre is still in a weak state but its at least heading in the right direction. Bones apparently has a mecha original coming out next year so we will at least get some nice 2D mechs to gawk at (hopefully with writing drastically better than captain arse), and full metal panic is hopefully gonna come out soon. this show just sounds lame |

Rachmaninow said: "Good" as in nimated? Regalia had pretty well animated ones, Gundam Thunderbolt was also after IBO and those were even better. If you get a couple good looking mecha shows a year it's already good.JizzyHitler said: heard this is a super wish fulfillment like series, but hey its got mechs so at least theres that, They'll likely be terrible CGI mechs though so ill almost certainly pass.

| This can be Escaflowme tier or typical LN ISEKAI tier. @JizzyHitler I think Fafner was pretty underrated too, Exodus was awesome. |
 |
| holy shit they didn't even try to be creative with this name and concept ahah |
 |
kofmaster said: its kind of the fault of the 1st season being so flawed and really not picking up until the 2nd half, exodus was everything the original wished it were and i think it is one of the finest mecha series around. Shame barely anyone in the west has watched it but at least its big in japanThis can be Escaflowme tier or typical LN ISEKAI tier. @JizzyHitler I think Fafner was pretty underrated too, Exodus was awesome. |

| Reincarnation is such cliché and overused but atleast it's about mecha this time so I guess it will be enough for me to check it out atleast. Hopefully they are not in shitty CGI... |
 |
| Is this reincarnation stuff the new shitty LN base for the next two years? |

| oh finally this is a good news for me this is a LN that i really hope to get an adaptation hope the execution will be good BlackPoint said: Sounds promising but cant help but be kinda reminded of Hundred just that it has no harem,romance tags.

| And here I thought Konosuba and Re:Zero killed this genre for good... |
 |
| I'm fine with Tenkû no Escaflowne, thanks for the try. |

Killed? I hope we get some more of them in the future instead of fujoshi trash and boring sports dramas. |

JizzyHitler said: heard this is a super wish fulfillment like series, but hey its got mechs so at least theres that, They'll likely be terrible CGI mechs though so ill almost certainly pass. well from the synopsis above it's definitely cliche. but i think this one has a creative concept because it's combining robot and magic (that's right robot use magic). but i also worried about the CGI if it got gundam treatment then it's good. |
lmfao my thoughts exactly #30character |
| Je trempe mes cookies dans tes larmes. |
| Yeah, this sounds as uncreative as it can get, and not just because of that title. Pass. |
| Knight + magic + beautiful girl = good by default |
Ventris said: Is this reincarnation stuff the new shitty LN base for the next two years? Youjo Senki and Honzuki no gekokujou are both examples of good stories with a reincarnated MC. Like in any genre of literature , it's more about taking the time to pick than anything else. I don't know about that one tho. Never heard about it~ |
 |
| Just me or does the MC look like a trap? Well in any case doesn't sound like anything very original at least so I think I'll skip it |
  |
HaXXspetten said: Just me or does the MC look like a trap? Well in any case doesn't sound like anything very original at least so I think I'll skip it I was wondering about that too. After checking, it seems that he's just having a feminine appearance, but it's neither used as trap or reverse trap. |
|
BlackPoint said: Killed? I hope we get some more of them in the future instead of fujoshi trash and boring sports dramas. This is important fact. |
| Sounds terrible, gotta remember that for whenever it comes out. Wish MAL had a blacklist feature for anime. |
✧ |
| Trap + Isekai = Instant Watch Ventris said: Is this reincarnation stuff the new shitty LN base for the next two years? Next 5 years. |
 |
| plz japan stahp from time to time its alright a story like that but jesus christ TrashDax said: And here I thought Konosuba and Re:Zero killed this genre for good... On the contrary, because of them we gonna get more of this genre. ._. |
 |
DatRandomDude said: TrashDax said: And here I thought Konosuba and Re:Zero killed this genre for good... On the contrary, because of them we gonna get more of this genre. ._. yeah, I lowkey hoped that Konosuba and Re:zero would be failures, so that Isekai wouldnt get too popular, but oh well most LN fads don't last much longer than 2-3 years. Anyways, mecha + isekai + shota MC are like my least favorite things, so I'm probably skipping this. |

| Crinnnnnnnnnnnnge. This, people. Stuff like this is the reason every single LN adaptation gets treated like...well....an LN adaption. Because for every single good one, there's like hundreds of things like...this. At least try to hide what a typical LN nonsense this is by pretending it is "deconstruction" for first half of the story, geez. LN titles have nothing to do with authors. Publishers want "clear and non-confusing" titles that "tell the reader exactly what it is". Hence why you have shitloads of "How I/How to ..." and "... and ..." kind of uncreative titles in the ln market. In fact, anything with a less "obvious title" actually tends to sell worse, because japanese buyers ignore it. |

I actually thought he is a girl until I checked his character page in MAL https://myanimelist.net/character/121185/Ernesti_Echevarria I love traps even more than girls. So, this is must watch anime now !! I hope it airs in winter season |
| So many light novel adaptation announcements. When is my precious HakoMari going to get one. |
 |
jc9622 said: Lol, just the name alone tells me that the author lacks creativity. Also, mecha? Hmmm...pass. Still better than your typical light novel ridiculously long name |
|
| I was expecting a lot of salt on this thread but it seems its more than my expectations. That being said ugh, out of all the LN they had to pick this one up. Like seriously? I'm thinking maybe Silver Link or J.C. Staff is going to do this one, probably after they saw how successful KonoSuba and Re Zero is. I swear this adaptation will crash and burn though.... Some LNs are better left un-adapted.... Welp, it'll definitely get popular anyway, and will definitely be a good material for people to wage hate/love war on this one. Will probably skim watch this just to see the designs, if it's even a good adaptation that is.... |
| Don't attribute maliciousness when stupidity is enough to explain what happens |
| more bullshit coming out, nothing new.. |
| Anime of the decade right here. You people have no idea. |
Duck_knight said: Hope there will be a lot of reincarnation novel adapted to animu Waiting for Death March, Konjiki no Wordmaster and Slime Tensei adaptation too bad Dungeon Defense is korean novel I wouldn't be surprised if these get anime in the future, Death March being very likely. |
 |
| Looks pretty generic but its a Mecha so ill give it a watch, who knows, it might be decent. |
| Might try it out just for the mecha aspect cause I really like the designs on the cover. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I was too happy about all the Exodus comments i stopped thinking about this LN. |
| i don't even excited, but always giving a try... |
