Yeah, the character designs are my biggest issue... looks like something straight out of the 80s or something. The concept seems fine, but the art will surely drag down my enjoyment overall. I wish it was closer to TTGL kinda art which was still attractive while being different. |

biglobe is just a specific community and doesn't represent everyone , SAO or AoT didn't rank that high either. |

What?
This looks just like Gurren Lagann. There's hardly a difference. |

Maybe its just the character designs themselves which are lacking, I dunno. But theres no Yoko, Nia or any other good designed girls from TTGL in this show. Their designs are pretty odd looking... like that high school girl. Her face is all fat and weird looking, there weren't any characters like that in TTGL. All the girls in that show were designed to look attractive, but this girl is just designed to look weird. Thats basically what I mean... the characters are going for a more "off the wall, trying to make every character look like a different artstyle" thing that was big in the 80s, instead of having one universal art style that was attractive like TTGL. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090222054225/gurennlagann/images/2/29/17157-61177-gurrenragonmonjpg-550x.jpg Just to illustrate my point further, look at this pic. It looks like a pretty normal art style, where everyone looks like they are part of the same anime. But this show has characters that all look like they'd be part of different anime because of their designs. cdn02.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/fit550x550/cms/news/65992/chara01.jpg vs cdn01.animenewsnetwork.com/images/cms/news/66417/img3.png I would never guess they were the same show if I didn't already know. |

Because I don't like how it looks, simple as that. I don't need any other reason to not like something. |

Spot on. We know what kind of people lurk and vote there, of course this is not in their priorities right RyanSaotome. Thou not related to this new season "popularity" looks what happens with polls in which everyone votes and not just the minority that represents the hardcore fanbase: animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-04-05/one-piece-luffy-db-goku-top-fuji-tv-anime/tokusatsu-hero-poll You have Minami (Touch) as the most beloved heroine EVER. And the hype RyanSaotome comes from Gurren Lagann and that ypu ahev the same team working here on this new anime, (GL) which is a masterpiece with no room for arguing over it, arguably the only one that cna become a full fledged classic of the 2000s, being one of the few anime series that got universal praise.
80sn anime, not quite, more than 90s, but even better for me. Dunno what you are complaining, dont you see those 2 lolis there, specially pink haired one, that one seems to be targeting a specific kind of fans. Also this team is so in love with the older classics, Gurren Laggan was a huge homage to older classics. YET, I kinda of agree RyanSaotome, this series has characters that seem out of place here, specially those lolis hinting moe. Some characters designs indeed seem kind of off and personalities too, kind of too cheerful, too colorful from some. |

Agreed. Also, definitely loving the return of their energetic animation. Really excited for this to start. |

I love how the designs of the commoners have an old-school goofiness compared to the slickness and style of the four heavenly kings. Leave it to Sushio to give meaning to each individual character's design. I like how Ryuuko and Satsuki have this timeless combination of simplicity and style; you can tell they're the protagonist and antagonist and embody different philosophies just by looking at them. Absolute solidity and fortitude meeting the archetypal wild element: I look forward to seeing the clash of ideals and turmoil that Ryuuko brings to Satsuki's totalitarian regime.
The only design element that's unappealing to me is Ryuuko's fanservice-y battle outfit. My enjoyment of it will probably hinge on how it's used in the show: basically, if the ridiculousness is deliberate or commented on. |

I swear if Ergo Proxy came out today someone would look at the Pino character and accuse manglobe of "pandering to moe lovers"

Really? If you're referring to Mako, I see her more as a goofy sidekick friend towards the action heroine Ryuuko. It's a classic pairing.
And that what makes it distinctive which is having the variety of unique character body designs while still being anime. I've noticed Trigger did the same thing with Little Witch Academia with the 3 main girls. |

For what its worth, it is 5th most anticipated show on MAL. http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=&type=1&score=0&status=0&tag=&p=0&r=0&sm=9&sd=1&sy=2013&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=f&gx=0&o=7&w=1 ANN does seem more nostalgia oriented than most places though, so a show with an old art style and isn't full of moe would probably appeal to them more than other sites. |

My god, I fear for these threads when the show actually starts airing, if they're this completely stupid now.
You don't seem to know crap about "most anime fans", then, you complete [insults removed]
Why do you think this show won't be full of moe? How are you defining that? Personally, I find Ryuuko's ridiculously manly voice very moe, it gets me all hot and bothered haah haah haah haah |
