I don't mind the VA's but isn't Rinka's VA going to sound a bit too weird for the action in this show. That's my only concern. I think this show will go great.

Director is Koichi Hatsumi. I'm kinda ehhhhhh on this now. Deadman Wonderland's story isn't exactly what I thought was memorable at all with the anime adaptation.

Edit: lol ninjed.

Well okay I guess? Now that I know this I will expect low budget which is sad.

Where did you get this information? Because I doubt that it's correct.

AniDB listed studio Xebec for the animation work, now I'm really happy, and that Key Visual looks awesome!!

Finally a new key visual. Not really a fan of those "pile of characters"-artworks but the character designs look pretty nice.

Wondering why Yomi and Kagura from Ga-Rei Zero are on the key visual as well!? Considering that both stories are from the same mangaka, maybe they'll include cameos?

Also does anyone see Ren in there? Hopefully the anime will be 2 cour and cover the second arc as well...

Looking forward to a PV to see more from this.

It's not just Yomi and Kagura. The whole squad that got wiped out out in episode 1 of Ga-Rei Zero are in it. I haven't read Tokyo ESP, but the crossover is curious.

Was wondering if those were the squad members from Ga-Rei Zero, but could only faintly remember them wearing orange suits, so I wasn't really sure.

Good to know, thanks. Am curious to see how they'll be incorporated :).

Shaman King was good.. Hopefully they do an even better job with this.

A little disappointed that it isn't by Ufotable though :P

Xebec! The only Xebec anime that I liked is Pandora Hearts and maybe Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 and Over Drive.

The art was really cool though.

Ren is nowhere to be found on either the key visual nor the cast list.

Hopefully that doesn't mean that it will only cover the first arc, which would be a huge disappointment.

Not sure what to expect from Xebec, though. From their recent anime I only watched TLR, which is too different from Tokyo ESP to give an idea of how they might handle this one.

That didn't look very good.

But anyhow, more silly action is always welcomed by me.

EDIT: It's 240p, how can it look good?

Only skimmed through some random manga chapters. It's kind of like X-men, with plenty of action, very shounen like.
If you want more silly action this summer with another flavor and less children, this is it right here. It's absolutely worth checking out, I found the pilot chapter to be really engaging.

No children? Yay! Silly action? Bugger. :< (Not a big fan of the silly types like Kill La Kill.)

Well it's not that over the top silly. I call it silly because I'm setting low expectations for myself.
Otherwise it's actually played straight and of course theres a little comedy to spice things up. Oh and no schools or college, even if our protagonist is a "school girl".

That's probably a good idea; the worst thing to do is to set one's expectations too high and then get disappointed. :D
