| Calm down bro, it is only January. |

| I got the same feeling. The story looks promising and interesting, but then i thought i must be careful, because this was made by the same guy that made Guilty Crown, one of the most dissapointing animes i watched. And after that, what this dude made? Valvrave the Liberator, the story of the mechas that turn a Shinji Ikari-clone into a gay vampire that needs a Lelouch-wannabe blood to fight guys that look they come from Last Exile. This guy didn't know to make anything good since Code Geass. |
 |
| :) All worries are pointless now - whoever did what, how, and why, the anime airs in April. Since I know nothing about the story, except from the trailer, I'd rather expect good animation and action from WIT. Obviously, the studio has been drilling the line of their signature anime, ... so leaning on the spectacular side sounds just fine. Preferably I won't be seeing traced of Geass, Valvrave and so on, but .. who knows. On a second thought, what was so horrible with the bad guys from Last Exile? |
| From the previews, this looks suspiciously like Attack on Titan. So there's that |

Like I wasn't expecting greatness but I wasn't expecting it to suffer from all the same problems that Guilty Crown did either. It's not like it would have to do much in order for me to at least watch and get a kick out of an action blockbuster besides not having loathsome characters, pointless insert songs everywhere and just being completely all over the place every week with the storyline, but I can hardly expect it to meet even those meager standards nowadays. I'll probably still watch a few episodes just to see since I have nothing to lose in doing that and there's barely anything that appeals to me in an upcoming anime season yet again, but I severely doubt it meets even the low bar of expectations. |

Ligonakos said: Considering they don't need to follow a flawed story* to start with, my guess is that it will be pretty good and perhaps popular. It's really hard to say you have faith in someone since nowadays anime can be pretty much hit or miss, but you never know. *Owari no Seraph's manga is just as bad, if not worse, than the anime adaptation. My 2 cents. The manga can never be worse than the anime itself since it's based on it and also they skipped couple things meaning anime was just terrible. |

Ligonakos said: I wouldnt count on that phrase, unless it was purely subjective by your side, Haikyuu's manga is inferior to the anime, though the manga itself is great as well. Perhaps your right I haven't read or watched Haikyuu yet but it is in my list. Well maybe me saying never was a little much. Cuz the Jojo anime that's' about to come looks amazing who knows it could surpass the manga. I'm just saying Owari was bad but the manga was a little better. |

| Idk, we can only guess here, my opinion is that this show will be entertaining to watch, but the story would be meh. I feel it woiuld focus in give us cool action scenes and thats it (and thats cool too). |
 |
| Show pretty much looks like an industrial attack on titan. |
| I hope it bombs in sales like sub 500 copies, so they can learn their lesson and not make anymore quick cash in ripoffs. |

Guilty crown and valvrave where both good show, they were entertaining and fun, yes plot hole and shit, but sometime you just need to lay back and enjoy something without thinking too much. . Just relax, give it a try, if you like it then good for you, if you dislike it stop watching, why are you stressing yourself out 3months before it debutes, making a post about your personal feeling. They aren't masterpiece, but they were fun. You life must sucks really hard if you were traumatized by something as little as that and need to share all your emotions. I don't see how his post gave off the impression of an elitist. It makes me wonder if you know what elitist are. Time is money. People that are on a busy schedule don't have the time to try out everything. It's more logical to watch something that has a higher chance of satisfaction. As such, it's fine to ask on the forums for more information to help make such a decision. You life must sucks really hard if you were traumatized by something as little as that and need to share all your emotions. Your life must suck really hard if you feel the need to insult someone over such a topic. |
| This looks like it will be a very fun anime. Hopefully, the next HOTD and not the next AOT. |
| *Just stares* '-' |
| I don't know. I just hope they'll try being original |

"Good" is subjective. Sometimes, even a horrible narrative won't even make up for entertainment. Even if some people find an anime entertaining and fun, that hardly equates to the show being good in the eyes of others. JeffreyZin said: How is this an insult to you? He just gave me his honest thoughts, for crying out loud. Well gee, why am I feeling so offended after I read someone's response from this. I mean I'm not really sure how I agree with this especially this quote but... it's pretty hard to say. Yes, and his honest thoughts were to demean your honest thoughts OP. Still an insult, even if you don't feel offended. |
  |
| *chews popcorn* So Japanese animation is serious business nowadays... |
 |
| I don't think it will be good, but I'm still hopeful! |
 |
| The op featuring EGOIST's chelly and Aimer and Sawano Hiroyuki excites me more. |

If they get overconfident and it doesn't sell well, the series will end with a cliffhanger that never resolves. If they play it too safe though, they will try to conclude it at one season and it will be rushed. Hoping that they trust their work enough to be popular and go with the first choice. |

| Just go in expecting some eye candy and you shouldn't be disappointed. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I don't know why, the MC's voice pisses me off so much lol |
JeffreyZin said: Chuunichan said: *chews popcorn* so you come in here with 'this' poor excuse? I can say whatever I like because my emotions can depend on it, okay?! Hell, I watched aldnoah.zero (Hiroyuki sawano did that music before btw) last time & it pisses me off even more & makes me wanna go 'killing spree'. until today. Relax, you're just being over emotional over some work of fiction. Just because you don't like an anime doesn't mean that you could went all angry about it. And if something looks bad, the don't watch it. Simple. |

It hasn't been really discussed in the MAL forums, but this has been licensed worldwide by none other than Amazon, who is desperately trying to gain more content in different genre's to compete with Netflix. According to some reports in Japan, they paid an unheard amount of money for a previously unreleased property. So if they don't finish it, it will not be for lack of money. It would have to tank miserably (and I mean miserably) in Japan for them to drop it. |

Different people but different perception, I guess. No matter posting so many questions with every anime especially those 2 shows (like Guilty Crown which it's turning 5 this year), I gets easily ignored and then you guys are never want to listen to my excuses & trying to insult me instead. Geez, you really trying to hurt my feelings, obviously. *sigh* I guess I have to deal with it when it comes to MAL member from mostly in western states who don't give a shit about everything I said.. I didn't expect any offence to be taken by both quotes. I was just pointing out the irrationality of the poster. Besides, I was just giving my 'honest thoughts' right? |

But that doesn't mean that we have to watch animes with our brains turned off. Guilty Crown is disappointing? Yep, but is still beautiful in some ways, right? For me it's just an average show... |

| This could turn out either really good or really cringe-worthy. At the very least, it looks awesome though. |
| tbh I don't care if it's overrated/popular or not as long as it enjoyable I'm watching it, as simple as that (and if it's popular enough we may get a novel out of it /like with Osomatsu-san/ so if that happens and I like the show, even better!) |
