This is what Production IG thinks they should spend their resources on? Really?

IG is flop this days. BEM anime series is trash and they gave it a movie. What a waste of resources.

I thought the TV anime was very disappointing, but I want to give them a second chance for sure.

Sweet. Would love to see more on how the characters do after the recent anime series

Another one already? The teaser doesn't show much, but the animation looks a bit better than the last Bem.

Despite the weak narrative and bland execution, it had several interesting concepts. I hope they develop it more, maybe even reach the high standards of the modern art-creation. Definitely endorsed by me.

Well this is quite surprising. The last year's show wasn't good. Now this time it's new and better studio and staff so it will probably be a lot better. Will check it out.

Can't say I'm ecstatic over this but I'm very much hoping that this will at least be a lot better than the dull tv series.

Congratulations to the Franchise for the half century!
