The pv looks interesting but I feel this is going to suffer the same issue as K did. The way it's stylized and everything the banding is gonna be so bad watching it on CR and the likes will make it hard to see what is going on with the fragmentation of the video.

So that's where all the money they got with K has gone to, huh. I find it quite strange for them to go with all female/male pairings, considering the reason why people watched K in the first place... But even then they always tried to get some ecchi going, guess they just like it that much. That being said, although the visuals are neat, the characters look bland and generic, so i'll pass.

I'm REALLY excited for another GoHands project, they're always so gorgeous. This must be why they haven't put a release date on K: Seven Stories. I'm not too fond of all the young characters though. The synopsis is giving me a MaiHime feel, I wonder what would happen if their partner died.

I understand if K isn't some people's cup of tea but this general consensus that it's all beauty and no substance is saddening. K had some really endearing characters and friendships, the ending of the first season was the first time I cried that hard for a show, because of a certain incident. And the idea of the 7 kings was a pretty novel idea to me.

I enjoyed K too (enough to check out the manga and the novels), and I don't think it lacked substance even though it definitely had its flaws. This new project looks very similar when it comes to the animation, though it probably won't have the same writers. The info says nothing about GoRA being involved in this. Still, I'm looking forward to it.

Overcompensating for K, I guess??


Considering there's more females involved in the action than freakin' K, that would compensate it. Overcompensating it would mean there's also female-female pairings. Surprised

With that choice of little boy main character, I can already say it's gonna flop and well deserved.

What bothers me more are the little girls, but hey, that's just a personal thought.

Now, if these were female-female pairings it would be a must watch for me to be honest. Razz

I could definitely get behind that.

GoHands set a crazy precedent with K, so I'm amazed by this promo that it appears they're trying to outdo themselves. If nothing else, this show is gonna be wall-to-wall eye candy.

The concept of the paired teams is intriguing, since they're not only psychically but also physically linked, and any time a series purports to involve [a] God is one I'll keep my eye on.

Yeah, lots of potential in this.

Yeah, the eye-candy in this looks like it's going to be insane!

This studio really does have a unique look to their works.
