The premise sounds kinda interesting while the character designs is what I had expecte given the staff.

Could be a hit or a miss show but I think it could have potential. Hope this show doesn't get any production delays.

Oh boy, Ichiro Okouchi is writing this?! Now I really pray this original series doesn't crash itself in the series' midpoint since we don't usually get story premises like this often.

Masaki Tachibana is the director, and the studio is 3hz, founded by him. This studio left me with the good impression of having the tendency to make good animations, mainly after Flip Flappers. I'll follow.
Cool

There's a girl who leads a life of danger, To everyone she meets she stays a stranger, With every move she makes another chance she takes, Odds are she won't live to see tomorrow.

Knew it was Kaijira the moment that choir cropped up at the end. Visuals look nice. Should be at least fun. Only concern is this series is the "spy" intrigue elements trying going too try-hard based on the writer.

Interesting staff/cast/studio and the visuals are wonderful. It kind of remind me a bit of Regalia. Looking forward to know more about this.

It's okay to have car chases, electric cars, or even steam powered, since those actually existed in the 1890s.

The problem is that I'm 98% sure the depicted vehicles will be from the 1910s or 1920s and not look appropriate for the time period.

Damn, I'm loving the character designs. Other than that, interesting premise, and generally cool aesthetic. I'm cautiously optimistic. Wish Okouchi wasn't involved, but eh, whatever..

The "19th century London" thing is only an excuse to fit cute girls in Victorian era outfits into steampunk-ish setting. Give them a break.

Can't be helped. There's no way we'll have badass chases with stuffs like these.

This entire post is a combination of baffling nonsense and a guide on how to say absolutely nothing at all. You could copy the post verbatim and repost it in every new series information announcement feedback thread and not only would it still fit, but based on it alone you wouldn't have the first clue what show/movie/OVA it was even about in the first place.

You start off by at first appearing to have an opinion on the premise, but it remains deliberately neutral by including the adjective "kinda" which backtracks interesting with a slightly apprehensive edge. It's about not committing to any one angle.

You then go off the deep end by implying you knew the whole staff before it was announced and imply the entire staff was some kind of clue as to what the characters designs would be like when the only determining factor of that would just be the character designer themselves which we were straight up told. You didn't see the character designs with no information at all and think "I recognize that style! It must be X!"

You then go straight back to purposeful neutral say nothing sentences. Could be hit or miss? That applies to every single project in the works. It says nothing. Could have potential? You don't say?! Could is a common word used here that much like "kinda" before it emphasizes the neutral tone of your post.

You have to be the first post, but you can't even bring yourself to fake either enthusiasm or apprehension. It has to be some meaningless middle ground so one gets upset. I'd like to assume if you either had no interest or for whatever reason were outright disgusted by the subject matter that you'd just steer clear.

So many of your posts all over MAL, CR, Animesuki, ANN, etc reek of someone who only regurgitates news and actively tries to be as safe as possible while still saying something anything at all even when it's a brief summary of an episode you watched. You have pretty much nothing worth saying for yourself. That's how your posts come across. It feels like the person whose pretending to be a fan or one that is but tries really hard not to stand out to the point you wonder why they even bother beyond reposing news.

Car chases in 19th-Century London...This show is going to be fun! Smile
The character designs look fantastic! I'm surely going to give this show a watch.

Excuse me, but I have the impression of something, you can tell me if it's what I'm thinking or not: when you talk about delay, it refers to Studio Actas and your original anime, Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars? Because he was the one who delayed, if I'm not mistaken. Please, I'd be happy to hear from you.
