Let's see there's a big ass robot, middle school kid, busty looking girl, and a guy trying to look cool in a really dopey outfit.

I'll probably watch it.

This thing practically screams Shin Getter, the head is loaned from Zambot 3..
I guess we can expect a mass of mecha-references. Wink

Oooo, now that looks really stylish! Can't wait to watch this one. Very Happy

Now comes the next question. What the hell happened to Bushilord?!! Confused

What's with the " It be 26 episodes and be produced...?"

Was this written with one eye closed? Come on guys!

I love you, therefore, I kid.

Yup, sounds like Gainax. Let's hope this is a little more inspired than KonoMini.

I look at that picture and for some reason all I see is FLCL. That would be good if it was as good as FLCL, but needlessly to say sonds like this anime is bound to make a huge chunk of money with all the merchandise and games.
Till next time,

Which is exactly what I WON'T do.

The promo image looks like crap.

This looks as it'll be a stylish-parody of yuusha-series and late seventies-mid eighties mecha series as well. Lets see if Gainax can surprise us as much as they did with some of their earlier works. They have really talented script writers and key-animators, it would be a shame to waste their potential.

Didn't the creator pass away a while ago?...I belive the series has been discontinued indefinitely. Wasn't it supposed to come out a year or two ago (kinda like T.a.T.u-Paragate).

I do agree, that is a long ass name for the English version. Quite the opposite of Excel Saga. I don't think I got to the storyline yet.

Looks more like a combination of every Gainax anime ever. But yeah, it does look like crap. Of course, since most anime is crap anyways, I'll probobly end up watching this because it's crap with a good pedigree. And who knows, maybe they'll make it work.

HMm looks like the same animation character designer for
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi..

Kinda wish Gainax would start cracking on Blue Uru.. Sad
