So is this a comedy? It's been far too long since we had a show like Excel Saga.

Nice. They got the original voice actor of The Major to play... a completely unrelated role, I guess

Also. I demand an explanation for that 3-legged lion thing.

From the little I've heard about this one, seems to be a yuri kind of manga? I mean, they do have one girl insert something into another at one point...a google image search has some interesting results. Laughing

Interesting I'll have to check out the manga to see if the story's any good, if it is then I'm watching the show. Wink

Maybe I missed something, but is it a TV show or a Movie? Since they are showing this at the theaters, it sounds more like an OVA or a movie.

Based off the first volume of the manga, don't think this is a comedy. Yes, it has humor, but not to the levels of Excel Saga.

Thank you, kind sir.

I was grasping for a way to articulate exactly what turned me off the weird-ass, moe moe visuals.

I dunno, but I found myself laughing at that lion's third leg. As incredibly dumb as it is. Then again so was Excel Saga.

I was turned off when I saw GiTS people involved as well. Ugh, they have gone moe, etc. Then I saw that Excel Saga people were involved and it all made sense. Wink

I think I should make one thing clear. The Excel Saga anime, as great as it was, was nothing like the manga aside from having the same characters and similar episode outlines. I'd say most of the credit for it goes to Shinichi Watanabe, who is not involved in this project as far as I can tell. People should not go in expecting something like the Excel Saga anime. Though from what I've read of Pandora, it's not much like the Excel Saga manga either...
