The show itself might not be aimed directly at fujos, but that doesn't mean it's going to stop them form encouraging that fanbase a la DRRR.


Basically this. Other examles include Tiger and Bunny, Samurai Flamenco, Noragami, Kekkai Sensen and the like.

These have attractive male characters being friendly with each other.

I know it can't be both fujo and bara at the same time. I used both terms to say that it confuses my senses. And I know it's technically neither.

Besides DRRR!! x2, Gangsta is the anime series I'm looking forward to the most this July. God Eater might be worth looking into as well.

I wonder how many episodes Gangsta will run for.
I enjoyed Manglobe's Michiko to Hatchin, and this reminds me very much of that.

This 1.5 video looked very good. I liked the effects used and the backgrounds look very nice.

Never heard the term Bara before today. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Dubstep seems like a weird choice for this type of show though, but besides that I'm looking forward to it.

Certainly got Black Lagoon vibes from this one. Although I have a feeling it won't be nearly as good as Lagoon.

In any case, this looks pretty cool. If Funimation does get this, and IF the timing is right, I can see this being a potential Toonami show.

Had my eye on this since it was announced. Looks like a show that will be better in dub. Hoping it is similar to black lagoon
