Now, this is a show I'd be willing to pay Aniplex prices on.

Hopefully, CR will stream it. I'm not giving an overpriced sum to Aniplex, even if it is the latest project from my favorite working director Crying or Very sad


I hope so too. Would really suck if this had a month-delay to get to Crunchyroll while the fail website Daisuki gets it only a few hours after it airs in Japan. And yes, Daisuki is fail.

I suppose the usual suspects will fansub it though.

And pricing is way premature to discuss and I think Theron should just delcare that any price discussion is trolling.

The fact that it's got character designs by Sushio who's also the chief animation director, written by Nakashima Kazuki, directed by Imaishi and with Koyama Shigeto as art director should've been enough to make you want to watch it.


It could be have character designs from Bruce Timm, animation direction from Kirk Wise, writing by Shoji Kawamori and art direction from Junichi Azuma and it would still suck. Straight up here. No Aniplex anime, outside of Fate/Zero IMO has been good. The price is generally not worth it.

Well at lease we can look forward to a quick release. Aniplex prices as of late do seem to getting more reasonable.

That's a solid argument you got there.

If only it was that cheap. Aniplex is usually more expensive then that.

Yeah. Sad

Can't wait for this show and was expecting to buy based on the awesome staff...maybe I'll be convinced if it's amazing and they go the extra mile with a dub which means it needs to make it to Toonami or Neon Alley first it looks like (outside of Madoka tv), like how Blue Exorcist got it's dub etc..

I like the way that these companies have such huge fears over reverse importation, yet they start business in another market and suddenly people start doing it there instead.

Really? The whole set? Shocked
I've never bothered to look, but where do you buy?

You'd need a region-free BD player as well most likely. But considering how much cheaper Aniplex USA stuff is over there I consider it worth the investment.
