I still have mixed thoughts feeling on this but I'm a sucker for RPG theme anime so definitely checking this out. I haven't played the games yet before though.

[tommywisseau]Ohai, Hyung-Tae-Kim character design![/tommywisseau]

At least the characters don't look as ridiculous as HTK's other efforts. I'm thinking I might pass, though: anime based off of MMORPGs give me Ragnarok flashbacks...

In typical GONZO fashion, it will start strong with the first few episodes and then become an incomprehensible mess, all while maintaining one of the highest animation budgets of the season. I guess I'll give it a shot for the design work.

Nice trailer. Looking forward to it especially for the art designs, animation, and setting.

Alka seems cool too, so I'm glad she's the lead/co-lead, quite like her design and hairstyle and the way she animated in action in the trailer and the nice shots with her and Jin Hazuki (and her lively facial expressions) in that fight.

The story sounds pretty straightforward but the two guys leading the project make it seem pretty promising looking at their histories, hopefully that's a good sign.

Oh, nice, I hadn't heard much of his music until his last couple of shows but loved Taro Iwashiro's music for Gargantia and his FMA: Milos one was really good too, hoping for another good soundtrack from him.

Hopefully Hamasaki (and Takeuchi) as directors end up pretty promising.

Another good thing at least for me Atsuhiro Tomioka's done mostly some rather nice shows I've liked so far (and apparently some huge kids shows) aside from a couple of duds.

Oh BTW, it looks like the text under the profile images of Dan Roana and Elle Karen are swapped and on the opposites they should be.

Still pissed there are no Male Gon leads. Seriously they're the best thing about this game/world.

It pains me very much that Hiroshi Hamasaki's good name has been slapped onto this shit.

Looks interesting. Female sword woman design is grabbing my attention. Suddenly I'm reminded of the new 'Thundercats'. So maybe I'll take a look. I need something good cause I just haven't been happy with the anime line ups. Aside from the guilty pleasure of KLK, I need something that is a little more realistic with a good story and action. Now will this be as good as Moribito?
