So, cyberpunk definitely has me, though that could also easily turn out terrible-- will watch though.

As long as it's cheesy to the max, I'll watch. Hopefully it's not something serious, since a serious tone would just get in the way.

Eh looks pretty damn generic if that's the case. I'd like to get an anime without a moe lead for a change. Especially if it's a ninja themed show, there hasn't been a good Ninja anime since Basilisk and Ninja Scrolls.

Generic? I thought that design is a somewhat unique and pretty one. But I can see your disappointment, if you expected a serious ninja story. Personally, I'm hoping this is something with way over the top and cheesy but entertaining action. Kind of like TTGL or something.

@cupc: Can't have Serial Experiments; Lain with ninjas, don't even please...

Sounds like Kill Bill, Max Payne and Cyberpunk get into a mix and match event meaning it could be absolutely amazing or everything will go horribly wrong in an awful way real fast.
But anything with 'Cyberpunk' as a tag is in my ptw list.

Now it explains why Trigger is doing that LN harem anime... they need money from somewhere and this sure as hell won't make any.

Sweet, Trigger will know what to do with this one. Hopefully that light novel crap will help them make some money to make this one at least normal budget lol.

For the record, Ninja Slayer's original release is 1996.

Currently reading volume 2 of the novel.
The cyberpunk world atmosphere is done really well.
I'll definitely watch this when it comes out.

Interesting.
Trigger can do this, and I think their animation style can get along with cyberpunk.
I'll watch this.
