That premise sounds really interesting. Hope it will be good
I recall seeing a prototype(?) trailer before and the character designs had my interest. |

Article:
While a global audience and global launch is admirable, my concern is how they will do it. Give it Netflix's dull track record for delay-casts, I don't think that site would be a good place for possibly streaming. Now, I think Crunchyroll is ideal for this. |

I wonder if it's a mecha anime. If it is, I'll be very, very interested in it.

I will be surprised the day when I read an ANN article where there's an original anime that is intended for a global audience, that will be available to every country (save for China or Japan) on country, and that will have an English simuldub.

Looking forward to the reveal. |

If it's a simultaneous world-wide release, that would work fine on Netflix. If it airs on TV in Japan and then Netflix posts it for the rest of us suckers at a later date, it won't be quite as ideal. |

Problem is how do you profit from this project. Will there be mercantiling, will there be idol group singing? I keep wondering at times if we can get good project of quality can come about without something backing it. Sales of the anime itself aren't enough.

I recall cases in the past wherein a 'global' release has simply entailed a simulcast available in four or five countries. Suspicions are hard to allay here. |

What makes you think this wouldn't have the exact same avenues for revenue that any other anime has? Nothing about this article suggests that it doesn't have a normal production committee behind it. And like many, I think you're underestimating the amount of money a couple of good streaming deals can provide. If this is global in any significant sense, it could literally already be paid for. Especially if the US and China are included. |
