So it's about dudes instead? Finally. I was getting bored of females piloting everything.

Although the name makes me think it's some shoujo. That's just way to fru fru for a mecha series.

So, Majestic Prince is the first one to get an anime huh? Of all the manga in Gekkan Hero's magazine, I thought ULTRAMAN had the highest chance of being animated first. Well, hopefully the anime will be a success and other manga from the magazine will get an anime too. I'm very keen on seeing ULTRAMAN and Buddy Spirits getting an anime.

I think the ULTRAMAN manga would have been a good material for an anime. The manga is not actually a henshin hero vs kaiju series.
The protagonist wears the Ultraman suit instead using transforming device and the Ultraman is not a giant and there are no Kaijuu, the enemies are human size alien who wears their own power suits.
Basically, it's Ultraman meets Iron Man. The series itself serve sequel to the original series but with some twist with the concept and ignoring other continuities. It also got some deconstruction element to it. I think it would be a good anime.

Gotta second that! The first thing that comes to my mind when I see 'prince' and 'robot' is GINGA BISHOUNEN. Probably another Star Driver like anime with "magical transformation" :P LOL!

It sounds a little like Candidate Goddess or whatever that one show was called. They showed it way back when on Toonami, I never caught more than one or two episodes.

Edit: This one.

That may be true (and I'd be glad for you if it is), but mecha is just not me genre unless it has some kinda twist to it that is more than a mixture of saving the world and slice-of-life/drama. Also I was more referring to the modern kind of generic mecha, not the classic one (not being a fan of either one). I read the title and thought it would be another Shoujo (which I would have loved) so I was kinda disppointed *gg*.
I probably regret this post by now.

This reminds me of a mix between Gundam and Macross. Macross because there's aliens involved, and Gundam because there are "Cyber Newtypes", or genetically enhanced better pilots pretty much.

I suspect multiple shower/bath scenes will happen with that chick. Or at least some Gainaxing when she's in the mecha.

Glorious. I'm so totally looking forward to that.

Oh yeah, they do. One of the chapter open with color page showing one of the girls taking a bath. Not the one on the picture though. Another one showed many of the girls form the academy showering. There won't be a lack of fanservice for this one.

If my eyes didn't deceive me, i think there's already a preview picture of a bath scene on the site. i believe there are also several girls providing fanservice lol.

It's Getbackers's mangaka, so that's a plus for me also.

Nope. Perhaps there's something wrong with me, but judging from various Google images, it looks less gay than the picture posted in this thread of Majestic Prince.

Genetically engineered children?! This could have some interesting premises...

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.
