The art style reminds me of K for sure. Original series can be a hit or miss so we'll have to see.

It sort of seems like Black Bullet's concept, which was just bad.

So that visual got me pretty excited. Cute freaking white hair loli and the background art looks really cool. Then I watched the video and now I'm not so sure anymore. Some of the 3D CGI parts look kind of dumb. The music reminds me of K Project, I hate K project, such a boring show filled with pretty boys. Colors look like digital vibrance turned up. I'm going to give the white hair loli a chance but I doubt I'll like the show.

From what I see from PV :
* Older Male x Loli (with big oppai :-\)
* Project K visual style
* Gorgeous fight scene like Project K
* Some bishounen guy

Interest but pretty much confirmed GoHands can't draw mature-type female character :-\

It has a similar concept to Gash Bell with a ton of scenery porn and wonky character designs at times. I'll pass.

"Hand Shakers"... Firs I thought "idols", then "tossers". Tossers it is. They should licence it under name like that for shits and giggles. Not like most licenced titles are any closer to the original anyway.

Defineltey has the same style as K project, which I loved. Even the music in the PV is very similar, the animation style looks a little bit more like a video game though…because it's so similar, I want to watch it but at the same time, right now it kinda makes me go eeeeehh lets see how this turns out :|

Based on the retarded synopsis, this show's gonna be absolute dogpoo, and why are they called hand shakers ? And why would they wanna meet god ? The animation style looks interesting tho. I'm in.

I misread "Nimrodes" as "Nimrods" lulz.

You know, ever since we reached the 21st century, the whole "199X" died off and now we're getting "20XX" because "originality" even though I don't recall too many works even back then that hadn't given a proper date in their sci-fi. I wish they'd just decide on a year and stick with it. We'll totally be okay with alternate universes, no need for "A.D. 20XX" laziness.

I have a feeling the final product will look nothing like what's in the PV, or at least not for very long. And even then, what's shown in the PV's I didn't think looked all that impressive. Good for GoHands that they're using a three-dimensional plane for fights so it'd at least look interesting, but the fight choreography looks off, and the characters don't seem to fit into their environment half the time.

I'm gonna wait for the staff while I sit on this, although I may still pick it up in winter depending on what else is airing.

Everything about it says no I shouldn't, except that cast. Will definitely try it for the cast and music :P Especially since I hear Saito Soma throughout the PV. But yeah, it looks like K with little kids. And I see the director (most likely Suzuki Shingo) still likes overusing camera movements during fight scenes. Plus already seeing some bouncing boobs like what we saw in Return of Kings.

There is one problem with GoHands. I hate their art style and animation, it's ugly as hell.
I dropped second season of K because my eyes were bleeding.
Mardock Scramble was interesting, but art and animation were trashy too.
I'm scared to watch anything else from them.
And this PV? 90%= 3DCG shit.
The worst part starts from 1:00 where even characters were made in 3D. Uber shit, even if story will be interesting, I won't watch it.
