PV looks great!

There's also a game that was announced for PS4 I think. Spring looks packed next year.

If not for CGI mecha shots, I'd still think the series was being animated by KyoAni.

God damn, I really wish it wasn't CGI mechs. CG mech just doesn't do it the way hand drawn ones do.

Yes!, it seems this is actually happening. FMP is probably one of favorite franchises of ...anything really. So looking forward to this. Anime hyper

Interesting. This is the fourth FMP series right?

They named it Invisible Victory and I'm pretty sure they did it intentionally so that you can abbreviate it to Full Metal Panic! IV (roman numeral four - as in series #4).

Regarding the CG Arm Slaves, some shots look hand-drawn, so I don't think it'll be 100% CG...

The best CGI is the CGI you don't detect.

"Hand drawn" can be a fuzzy definition. What would you call an anime that used a CGI wireframe for mechs to keep them on model, but finished every frame from that point "by hand"?

Of for gods sake, I had only one request for this show, and that was for them to key-frame the Arm Slaves. Half my anticipation has died now. I wish this had gone to BONES.

That sounds more like having the layout done by CG, than the actual animation.

That actual reminds me of something they did on the last episode of Golden Boy, he's working at an animation studio and they contract the computer company from the first episode to make a wireframe animation of a woman swimming, so they can animate over it.
