| Playing with mecha again. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

| No idea what to expect with that combination, but the artwork on the website sure looks great o.o |
| Don't tell me Nobunaga is a cyborg this time round... |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
It will be a sci-fi robot action... Yay!...featuring historical characters such as Oda Nobunaga. Never mind -_- |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Kawamori Shoji. Watching it. |

| Mecha with historical characters, that's something new ;) Who knows, may be interesting, looking forward to more info. |

symbv said: Even that idol show has a lot of mecha, right? Yea, imagine that! I wonder if he got hit by a toy robot as a kid. |

symbv said: I wouldn't mind it, I'm sure Kawamori will manage to make it epic either way.Don't tell me Nobunaga is a cyborg this time round... Highly looking forward to this, the premise sounds just ridiculous enough for this to become amazing. |
ThangLong said: VioLink said: This guy is just full of surprises. The question is, will he do anything other than Mecha (excluding that one idol show) Though this is coming from a giant mecha fan, I don't see anything wrong with only making mecha. Maybe people don't find mecha as awesome as other genres (mecha gets tons of hate, especially among MAL users) but for the most part he is amazing at what he does. I would guess that ever since the success of Macross, he just rode the mecha train. |
Kirahito said: Really? I have a feeling that although mecha has declined in popularity in Japan, overseas fans cannot have enough of mecha and space sci-fi stuff. Perhaps I am mistaken?Maybe people don't find mecha as awesome as other genres (mecha gets tons of hate, especially among MAL users) Kirahito said: From interview I read about Kawamori I think he is a big mecha lover even before Macross, and of course as you said he is great at what he does so it makes sense for him to stick to it, both for his interest and his career.but for the most part he is amazing at what he does. I would guess that ever since the success of Macross, he just rode the mecha train. |

Kirahito said: Though this is coming from a giant mecha fan, I don't see anything wrong with only making mecha. Maybe people don't find mecha as awesome as other genres (mecha gets tons of hate, especially among MAL users) I've liked Mecha ever seen I saw the Voltron series a long time ago. I still remember putting all that plastic robot lions together. I don't see the hate around here, maybe because I've not hanged around this site for long. Even so, that cannot be worse then Moe and Fujoshi hate. I feel Mecha is a genre that just "be" there, and no one bothers to joke at. Kirahito said: but for the most part he is amazing at what he does. I would guess that ever since the success of Macross, he just rode the mecha train. Yea, he is good at designing robots. That's why I thought he got hit by one as a kid xD. But after being burned by Aquarion Evol, I'm not eager to jump at anything he creates anytime soon, |

| The name immediately caught my eye and the character design is cool, but whenever an anime re-imagines historical figures such as Nobunaga I really can't bring myself to like it most of the time. |
phoenixalia said: If this becomes an anime, I'll watch it for sure just for Kazuki Yone. Her art is AMAZING. Yep. I don't mind mecha and I'm a fan of historical anime, but the art was what really decided for me on this one. |
| What's next? "The Moron"? Seems like the amount of original title names has run out. |

| You want Kawamori anime with no mecha in it? How bout you take one of the best 90s anime films and man's best non-Macross work: Spring and Chaos which is critically celebrated but obscure as fuck straight for tv special/film about life of Kenji Miyazawa. Arjuna also has no mecha in it unless you *really* want to interprept kawamori's take on one hindu divine figure as mecha (it appears in anime whopping two times to boot). As for Kawamori shows Kawamori has created/written but not directed Kirumin counts as it is shoujo show about cute "animal detectives". Earth Defence Family is borderline case as it's more super sentai parody than mecha (though one episode features mecha unit for one scene) As a rule Kawamori shows having mecha to one extent or another should go without saying because the man is first of all legendary mechanical designer whose CV is to largest degree filled with design work. He's creator in largest sense of term after that, director distant third. In short Kawamori production without mechas is anomaly. Prima facie assumption should be that there will be mecahs.

But after being burned by Aquarion Evol, I'm not eager to jump at anything he creates anytime soon, Watching AKB0048 should work as antedote for that. It's genuinely very good and fun show and way better than Evol trainwreck was. |

| Only director I cares about. Kawamori-san is a genius. I'm down for this project. |
