Studio ARMS. Oh boy. Actually after watching that preview, I might look forward to this.

Umetsu's signature design is unmistakable, took me just the preview image to know it was him before even reading any of the article's text. Sold, will watch, and it looks like ARMS' budget is being poured into this over the Wrestle Idol show.

I hope this ends up being better than Mezzo DSA, not like that would be particularly tough to achieve.

It'll have been a decade since then, almost exactly if this is a Winter series that begins in early January, so hopefully he and the studio have learned some things. Not that DSA was bad, it's just not that great for him.

Well I for one really liked Mezzo DSA, and this definitely has the same sort of vibe to it, so I'm naturally looking forward to it. Very Happy

This looks much more like a Yasuomi Umetsu project than Galilei Donna, not the least because of the distinctive character design. Knowing as little as we do, it's folly to say much, but it does have me curious.

I'm pleased to see Yasuomi Umetsu directing two projects in close succession after years of intermittent work. I am slightly worried about him working on television projects. I liked Mezzo DSA; it was great fun, but what he likes to do generally costs more than television has.

The style is very recognizable. In terms of animation, since Mezzo DSA was mentioned, that show had a fantastic, movie-like quality in the first and maybe second or so episode. But the animation quality quickly went downhill afterward.

As already said, definitely recognized his distinctive art right away, glad to see he's got something new coming. The trailer looked nice and had some very nice visuals.

Great news. Looking forward to his latest show.

so the director of kite is doing a show about 17 year old high-school student named Cecil that works as a police officer. Well I've finally become a kick-ass anime girl, so i'm hyped.

I have everything thing this guy has directed and this looks amazing with ARMS doing the animation production duties like they have for his other works. I will most certainly be watching this.

I read that quickly and saw Wizard Baristas, and as a recent Starbucks employee, I almost lost my mind.
