This definitely has "hype" surrounding it. I hope this is one BONES original that doesn't collapse itself in the end.

The art direction looks fantastic.I hope the show can deliver a story to support it.

Very stylish, but is it more than that?

I'm not too familiar with any of the voice talent. Maybe I'm getting too old.

Well that was...bizzare. This pretty much reaffirmed my suspicions that it was going to be a lot like The Rolling Girls. *crosses fingers* please don't suck!

Apparently, it's going to be a 2 cour so there's good hope for story-building. Not a big fan of the artwork in that PV myself though.

I know it's only a trailer but if I'm being perfectly honest I'm not impressed yet. I mean sure Kekkai Sensen didn't really impress me in the trailers despite me mostly liking the show (I still have a weird disconnect with it though) but I could acknowledge that those trailers were visually pleasing just never impressive on a concept level. Here the colors seem a touch too bright for my taste and something about the character designs aren't working for me. Of course I will watch the damn thing when episode 1 is actually eventually released but as far as first impressions go I can't say I'm terribly excited.

(The fact that I read One Punch Man and My hero academia which as manga seem to please me visually more may be another thing but eh that's just splitting hairs.)

Very colorful. It gives off a Persona/Star Driver feel which could turn out to be awesome. In definitely looking forward to this one!

Akita Daishi looks like Tōkyō Ghoul's Yoshimura.

Also, I think the end narration was done by Ōkawa Tōru.

Going by the script in the trailer, it reminds me of Samurai Flamenco. Veeeeery bad thing to remind me of.

Don't remind me of SF!!!! Horrible...

I'll remain optimistic, SF mention aside. Looking forward to this one, never had issues with superheroes...I've been reading the comics for a long enough time now! Laughing

I see that Bones has opted for another show with over the top animation. Not saying I'm not interested, but it doesn't look all that promising to be honest.

^My thoughts exactly. Look almost identical from what I could see in the promo.

I want this already! The art design alone makes me want to see it.

I think you mean good
I recently watched Samurai Flamenco and it was great from start to finish
Those twists, man
I wish I could have watched it while it was airing, and I could have seen people's reactions

No, I actually mean the worst anime I ever watched... out of a selection of literally over a thousand. Everything about it was god awful and I couldn't be paid to sit through something similar.

If you say so, but Samurai Flamenco was good to me. It went in directions that no one was expecting, but that didn't mean the quality of the writing declined.
