Well, I was off. LIDEN FILMS confirmed for studio which means they have two series for Spring including this one.

Interesting to see a fresh face though for Arslan's role.

Soo-Won as Arslan? That might work. The rest of the cast is solid as well.
Taro Iwashiro as composer is incredible news.

Nice solid cast. Good to see Su-woon's VA get more roles. And the guys are eye candy which is another plus. Looking forward to this~

A lot of news in this one: cast & staff, production members and airdate.
I like the character designs, they look "authoritative"-like

I also like how the characters look. Though LIDEN FILMS wasn't exactly what I hoped. Also anything that has Daisuke Namikawa in it makes me excited.

LIDEN FILMS?
Oh God, please. They're screwed with something simple like Terra Formars, and they're given another chance?

I'm starting to think that absolutely no one in the publishing house doesn't care about the poor Arslan, and they're gave it to the first animation studio that they're seen.

Mmm, LIDEN FILMS does have me worried. Though the staff is solid, the studio is...

Hmm, I would love to see Kappei Yamaguchi reprised Arslan... But hey, Witch Craft's Honoka's a rising star... Good luck mate...

I was kinda down when I saw Nami D on the roster... I don't like this dude so much... but yet again, Hosoya's there so yeah... Good roster...

Mhmm... Laughing

This staff is a lot better than LIDEN's staff for Terraformars so you never know. It might end up being decent animation wise. Shigo Ogiso is a very good animator and Noriyuki Abe has a good track record when it comes to adapting good material so hey. Could be good.

If they had Romi Paku as Arslan, I think it'd make sense to Vic Mignogna dub him if Funi gets the show.

Hm, no female cast yet huh.

That FMA art style still doesn't look good.

If they do someone that was a lead/major/supporting FMA/FMA:B character, that could be a fan service of sorts to FMA fans.

Cast looks good, i'm currently enjoying both Yūsuke Kobayashi as Su-won & Natsuki Hanae as Inaho. The production staff also looks quite a bit better than it did for Terraformars so it might just turn out to be pretty awesome Very Happy.

Seeing Taro Iwashiro was quite a surprise, i'm sure we'll get an epic OST with him doing the composing. Tbh, my main concern would be the director... And the possibility of too much CGI, seeing how it says "Animation Production: LIDEN FILMS x SANZIGEN Animation Studio".
