Hmm hope they write soon what kind of story it will have. Idk it gives the same vibe as Argevollen which was action/mecha aswell and also had a blond chick ^^

Interesting that they already revealed the lead characters' names/their seiyuu but not a basic plot summary yet. Still, a mecha with what looks like could be a love triangle has got me sold on it. CR, simulcast this!

Mmmmmmm....I dunno. Mecha has really been a miss for me lately. But I like PA Works and well...I guess I could give it a shot. Wink

Haha...sadly, that was the thing that really caught my eye in this PV.

I'm not much of a mecha fan, but will give it a try. And, if PonyCanUSA grabs this, I wonder if that means it will also go unlicensed in Australia. Honestly, it seems that anything post-Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! hasn't been touched by licensors here in Australia.

And, with Defense Club, I think that was only grabbed as it happened around the time of the PonyCanUSA announcement. But, once they established PCUSA...nothing's been touched...

Think that this also goes for streaming of their shows too. At least, I can't seem to find them on places like AnimeLab or Hanabee's website...haven't check, but unsure if I'd have access to any on Crunchy (doubt it).

Is this a mecha? I was not expecting P.A. Works to be involved in this type of related project.

Didn't expect it for PA Works, their anniversary project is a mecha anime Shocked
Recent mecha anime are imo somewhat inconsistent, directionless, and disappointing in general.
Wish PA Works could pull it off.

I really like P.A. Works previous works in terms of character designs and general art work. Curious to see how this will fair since I've never cared for the stuff they made that was more action orient.

Welp, there went my interest in this. Not exactly Mecha guy (there are some exceptions but still) but I hope it does well for both them and audiences they're trying to reach.

It's a little odd to me that they are choosing an action mecha show as their anniversary project. Not something you really associate with PA Works.

In any event, it would be really cool if they use their Another veterans to make this into a mecha/horror story. As far as I know, there aren't all that many of those out there.

Tensai Okamura (Darker than Black, Blue Exorcist, Wolf's Rain, The Seven Deadly Sins) is directing the anime at P.A. Works. Ryou Higaki (Another, Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit) is handling the series composition, and Yuriko Ishii (Another, A Lull in the Sea) is designing the characters.


This is what really caught my eye. Amazing staff. Trailer wasn't too bad. I hold P.A. Works pretty highly (which made Glasslip hurt way more than it should've). I expect this to have the same kind of emotional drama their previous works seem to focus on, perhaps maybe adding death to the mix for once.

Mad hyped
