I do not mind OG anime with cute girls but it feels like we have been getting nothing but cute girls doing stuff anime for years. We need more diverse og anime like Space Dandy, Odd taxi and Paranoia agent.

God love you, GoHands. Never change. I won't watch this series because the trailer literally made me a little nauseous, and I'd really rather watch a second season of Masterful Cat, which was way toned down for you guys. That said, your insane refusal to listen to your critics and to instead double down and triple down and then triple down again is weirdly cheering.

Well, it looks like a chaotic Magical Girl anime courtesy of GoHands.

That's what sells and what most people want.

That's what doesn't sell that well, and most people aren't interested in. It's that simple.

I can dig that. I have no intention of ever watching one of their shows, but in an odd way, I'm glad they exist. Nobody else would make the decisions they do, and even if it's for good reason, that arguably gives them value in itself. There's a reason so many film buffs adore Tom Hooper's Cats, and it's not because they consider it "good".

I am GoHands' biggest hater, but this sentiment made me reevaluate how I see them.

I am still their biggest hater, but now I'm cheering them on. Change for no one, GoHands. Always be you for better or for worse. Most definitely for worse, all things considered.

Looks like test footage. I’m assuming this isn’t representative of the final product, but it’s Gohands, so you never know...

As much as I'd love GoHands to do use their skills (because they do have really talented staff!) in a normal anime without CG backgrounds or bizarre camera work or unfitting music, I do respect their refusal to conform even if it would probably be better for them financially to do so... Respect the hustle...

I like the dynamism, but the compositing and background coloring leaves much to be desired.

Well, that was certainly frenetic. I think i understand the action, though i have no idea what their opponent was (besides two legs glimpsed at one point early on).

I can see why GoHands does what they do — that trailer was just one long Itano Circus, and for some, that’s serious animation.

If the audience is allowed to catch their breath, this could be an entertaining show.

Its not diverse enough? I cant say I know or care if the anime I watch is an original but I really find this baffling. There are like 50+ shows that air a season. Looking at Winter 2025 I can see like 3 shows that would fall under the category of cute girls doing stuff. But yes thats all we get in anime these days....If only it wasnt for CGDCT we would finally get the next Space Dandy....
