Yeah, I think they really nailed the art direction in terms of wardrobe (mostly) and character design. Also, it seems like Ryuuko's not too happy about the super outfit herself, judging from her blushing, so perhaps it'll change at some point? |

She's the new Yoko. Maybe that's their winning formula. Every action show needs the heroine to display some skin 
I wonder if we'll get extra fanservice on the BDs, either in the show or in the extras. |

I don't think that's accurate at all. For one whilst I'd kinda agree GL is a classic or a masterpiece, that doesn't mean I need to like it - so I can argue over the points I dislike about the series. For two if you're talking about the 2000's as 2000-2010: then there are a good deal of classics. Shows like Death note, FMA, etc. Also bear in mind that a lot of the 'classics' for western anime fans are no where near as big in Japan, whereas there is more of a similar interest between East and West now. In terms of this show...personally I don't think it looks all that interesting. I mean ignoring the fact I don't feel any particular love for GL or Trigger, the story seems a bit meh but certainly has potential. I also think the character designs look pretty poor - that's just my personal opinion but they all seem to...stupid. I mean specifically the villains, but they are they bad guys so it's to be expected I suppose. I'm also not to find of the MC's uniform, it just looks a bit messy in terms of the choices they've made in order that it also function as a character. Lastly is it just me or do the heads seem a bit too big for the MC and the Antagonist, like they're too wide or something. Then again they look fine in the head-shots to the left so maybe it's just an angle thing. Either way, whilst this doesn't look that generic, I wouldn't say it looks interesting either. It seems like they're mashing together different styles and ideas too much for it to be a coherent story and visually appealing to me, but I accept that I'm not really the intended audience xD |

Uuh there were a lot of stills shown in that trailer which makes me scared a bit.However this still looks awesome and the writing will definitely be good.
Yeah man you are genius,I mean we all know how you predicted that Jojo is going to be financially unsuccessful,which tells me that you have an astounding knowledge about mechanisms of Japanese market. |

I'm still looking forward to it, but I mentioned in another thread for the previous short trailer that I can already see the signs of a TV budget. I'm not disparaging them, but the lack of in-betweens for the action is reminiscent of TTGL's relatively low framerate action. Trigger even implicitly admitted this themselves, saying they could not have done LWA on a TV budget. It's not uncommon and rather expected, but sometimes other studios manages to get by better, in particular KyoAni and SHAFT. Perhaps they can get more investment where as Trigger is a small startup and this is a new original work. |

I'm not a huge fan of the Character design, especially Matoi's transformation, which many have already stated. It's revealing, which is not a problem, but it seems unnecessary and unneeded. With that being said I am looking forward to the series but I do hold some concerns and i do not want to get court up in to much hype.

I go on more than just ANN, so, based on the anime sections of KanyeToThe, IGN, etc I can say that there is a huge hype for this show |

They gotta downplay the show because the "otaku" don't seem to be into it and thats all Japan is about.

That doesn't make any sense. Anyone who doesn't think that there's huge hype for this show is a [insults removed], pure and simple. |

No it dosen't have any hype. Look at these irrelevant polls from websites I found. They must be true and a 100% accurate representation of how many people are hyped for the show.

Umm that's not really how anime works.  Japan IS all that matters and if there's no hype there then that's an issue.. hype on American sites like ANN or IGN doesn't mean anything so we have to look to see if the Japanese fanbases like 2ch and other sites are hyping this show up since they're the people who are important

And then the usual suspects come in and feel the need to point out "oh look noone's hyped about this show because this Japanese poll tells me". Why who cares? Is your interests in shows driven by that (yes). Can you only like what otaku seemingly like(yes). So yes lets play damage control and downplay the show for no other reason, but otaku that I don't know aren't hyped for this show. |

You and a few others keep saying this and I'm not sure why. Because I'm not at all talking about sales and profits and what drives production. I don't care about that and I'm not talking about it. Kill La Kill is already being made. When it comes to an end and we want a sequel, then we can start talking about whatever Japanese fans liked. But we aren't there are we? Rather a show is popular are not is'nt going to morph my opinion of the show like it seemingly does for some of you. I also think Japan is more than the otaku. |
