| A new series titled Fuun Ishin Dai Shogun has been announced and will air April 2014. An image on the official site shows off the first key visual for the series. Synopsis: In the late Edo period, Japan had experienced an unprecedented crisis by Kurofune (Black Ships), the ships from foreign countries. But a giant robot called Onigami, which has existed since ancient time, dispelled the Kurofune ships and the exclusion of foreigners was accomplished. The story begins in Japan where Meiji restoration in 1868 didn't happen. The tagline says, "I can be the greatest man in the world, because I am a virgin!!" (Source: Crunchyroll) The main staff for the series have also been announced and are as follows: Story: Project-D Original Story: Kazuya Sasahara Director: Takashi Watanabe Series Composition: Shunya Yamashita Character Design: Hiroya Iijima Mecha Design: Makoto Ishiwata Art Director: Chikako Shibata Color Design: Michiyo Iriomote Editing: Real-T Sound Director: Satoshi Motoyama Music Production: Nippon Columbia Studio: J.C.

Wind_Sr said: sounds terrible, will still give it a shot.The series is an action romance with fighting robots that takes place in Japan during the late Edo period |
 |
| Might watch. I'll reserve judgement until more info is available. Sounds a bit sketchy but you never really know until it airs. |
 |
| Based JC Staff. |
 |
| Robots in Edo period? Whyyy? But, I might try one episode. |
  |
| Uwah~ Just look how the body of the girl on the right is distorted... ~.~ Combining this with robots doesn't sound appealing, either... |
| Another JC Staff anime? Might give it a try I guess, the premise caught my interest somewhat. |
 |
| I really fucking hope they don't use moe as a core aspect of the show. |
 |
| Thankfully someone with way better understanding of Japanese translated the synopsis given on the official site so I updated the original post with that one. I took the safe route with my one sentence synopsis so I removed that. Wind_Sr said: I can be the greatest man in the world, because I am a virgin!!" Hmm this is definitely a quote to live by. |

| I'll give it a go. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Studio: J.C. Staff, A.C.G.T. someone please re-confirm this one. |
| When I read Edo period, I got excited for a second. Then, robots. I'll pass. |
| >The tagline says, "I can be the greatest man in the world, because I am a virgin!!" ... Also: Edo + JC Staff + robots, trainwreck in the making if you ask me. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It has Mecha. I'm in. |
| 1 man with 2 women, robots in edo period? WTF? I'll give anything historical related a try, but wtf is this? I'll still try it out though. ~.~ |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Robots... in Edo period. Poor history, ecchi and little action is what I think it will be. |
 |
| The synopsis sounds terrible but will keep my judgement until I see how it turns out. |
| It sounds so bad, that I'll def. give it a try. |
| - |
| I'll give it a try because the girl on the left looks like she has a fox tail, and me so it shows with kitsune girls. plus me a sucker for edo period stuff, but I'm a bit worried about the whole mecha part mixed in it. http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/53b523a5bb9fbea7ced5129bc4595c531388035835_full.jpg |
| The mecha part is a bit concerning and wtf is with the tagline? The only conclusion to that I can see is Onigami can only be powered or even piloted by virgins. |
 |
| Apparently our MC robot is powered by groping. Lewdness ensue. |
| sounds incredibly dumb. no thanks anime. not this time |
 |
| This sounds utterly fucking repulsive on every single level. Even the character designs are unappealing. phoenixalia said: The word "virgin" is used in some endearing, valiant way as the core characterization and inspiration of the main character. Lucumo said: More girls than guys on the poster means that it will probably be terrible. No you can't say that. Besides, who knows? This is only the first promo picture. Hopefully when more characters are revealed, there will be a good balance of males and females. Keep dreaming. |

| wow. the storyline sounds terrible. seems like it's gonna be ecchi too and that tagline is pretty embarrassing |

I am pretty sure their escapist daydreams are the reason for these kind of anime to exist. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Looks interesting! |
 |
| Wait, wtf. LOL! So it's like Boshin War, Mecha, and Harem? Let's name that guy in the middle 'Ishida" or "Toshizo". |
