That's quite a set of talents on display there. Considering that, I'm willing to bet there's going to be more to this series than just "a boy pilots a robot."
Looking forward to it. |

Wow, some great names working on the series. Can't help but expect a lot of the anime. Still, I hope the next title from Bones is Darker Than Black 3!

I have to say, I'm very impressed by how distinct that mecha looks. It looks nothing like the Gundam-inspired mecha I've seen in the various Gundam series, Evangelion, Eureka 7, Code Geass, and the like. Long spindly fingers and a very pronounced long neck? I'd love to know who the mecha designer is for this show. I'm already interested in the show. Can't wait for more info.

Heh. An anime-original BONES anime is never so simple as "A Boy pilots a robot."
Gothicmade, Senki Legacies and now this. Is there some new resurgence of anime-original robot anime? I approve. |

According to this update...
... I wouldn't be surprised if Aniplex is the company responsible for it (Gurren Lagann, anyone?), and that sphere with a galaxy drawn within is another huge clue. If that's the case, it's gonna be great. |

Ok, I may just end up watching this for the music now. I love Satoru Kousaki's music scores.
But that robot resign is kind of interesting to say the least. |

I'm surprised to hear you say that. The lanky, elongated eva designs look a whole lot more like this mecha to me than they do any of the Gundams which are far more more heavy set and boxy. |

Whoah, is that it's neck? That's rather unique. It's a rather elegant design, more alien than robot. I like it.
And here's hoping it turns out better than their most recent "boy with a robot" series. It took nine episodes, but Heroman finally lost its charm for me... |

Well, now...we do dig giant robots. Should be orth a watch. Maybe even a simulcast.
Most mecha anime for a while now has been anime-original, or at least based on old manga that already got a previous adaptation. The genre seems to take more to animation than still images. (Eva doesn't count; it was a spinoff of the in-production anime for promotion.) I can't find much info on the Mizuya sisters. Apparently, their style resembles Takeshi Obata's. |

Unique robo design definitely, but yeah, reminds me A LOT of Five Star Story designs... and even the pose is very similar to a poster I have of 5star stories featuring mecha with pilot in hand, long spindly fingers curled around her and elongated neck in full display. In any case, star-studded cast certainly inspire hope that this could be the next great mecha series... hopefully it steers clear of well-worn cliches. 1 thing for sure: with director of Soul Eater at the helm and Bones' studio, gonna be kick-ass battle scenes.

Even if this ends up sucking, it's always nice to see anime that isn't an adaptation of some preexisting property.

It's from BONES, so a 95% chance of it being awesome or at least good/great. Definitely will give it a watch.

So goes this mean that mecha anime is making a comeback?
Bones working on one this is big news. And I just finished watching 'Le Chevalier D'Eon' another production by Bones this past weekend. I may have to keep my eye on this one. |
