Ah, no Jun Maeda? That's disappointing, I really dig his writing style.

Guess he must've been busy working on Angel Beats. I hear that's getting a VN soon...?

EDIT: But that was a pretty slick opening. I am intrigued by the mustachioed badass with the monocle. Cool

Ok, I've been looking forward to this game for a while. Love Key. This game looks like it's going to be fantastic. But, man, that song is so awful.

You need to watch the 'actual' OP, Philosophyz by Rina Mizutani, it's [expletive] 'beautiful'.

It has a good blend of vocals, music and artificial sound that feels like something that's out of 90's anime OP's, but updated for modern times.

But the POSTED OP is good for one reason and one reason only...

...Rewrite as an anime looks ****ing glorious.

Shocked

Whoa, I didn't expect THIS type of genre. And hmmmmm, White Fox did the animation. Any who, it'll be quite some time until there's an anime adaptation of this.

Moe girls with weapons fighting monsters? ANIME VERSION PLEASE.

Intriguing opening, instantly captured my attention... I think I should try out the demo, but I don't think there are English subtitles.

Maeda's doing some of the music still, and QC.

WHy don't they just skip the VN and go straight to anime adaptation? Though I do prefer VN's to anime, but when the source already looks that good animated..

I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought that opening - regardless of whether or not it was the real one - was totally kick-ass.

I also share the same thoughts as the poster below me. I love me some Psychic Lover.

maybe so you can explore multiple paths? Otherwise to fully accomplish that in anime, you'd have to present multiple "rebooted" arcs ala Amagami SS or Yosuga no Sora. But yeah, it looks fantastic
