Wow GONZO... wow...

Murata's new character designs there reminded me of his Last Exile's design. Boy with goggle and jacket.

If you click on the link on him in first post you'll see he's done the character design for Last Exile.
Not too surprising they look similar, I guess.

Well, I'm not expecting anything from Gonzo by now. Except maybe Saki season 2.


And on the edge of sanity I stumble and fall.

Because 60% of what they do plain sucks, 30% is bearable and the remaining 10% is good. /fact

Because there's a lot of ignorant people with no taste in this world. Most of them are either elitist jerks or little kids who want to act like elitist jerks (which are pretty much equal things since both categories know nothing of anime whatsoever).

^That's one of those ignorant people. Look, this person saw only 8 out of ~60 anime Gonzo made (slightly more than 10%), and he talks like he watched them all.

Lawl, yeah, I'm ignorant. I also pull ideas straight out my ass, much like Gonzo. Glad you wasted your time searching through my list for Gonzo titles though.

Well I've seen about half of Gonzo's anime and apart from a few notable series (e.g. Full Metal Panic, Gankutsuou, Seto no Hanayome, Welcome to the NHK!, etc.), the majority of them tend to suck. They're also notorious for their consistently poor choices in animation (mecha 3D CGI) and fan pandering, so it's no surprise people just don't like Gonzo, even only after trying a small taste of what they have to offer.

On a personal note, I pretty much gave up on Gonzo after watching the abomination known as Kurogane no Linebarrels. Of course I'll go back and watch some of Gonzo's better shows, I've yet to see, but I doubt I'll even waste my time with this new series.

If it is the quality of Shangri-La only with a much better ending, this should be good. Gonzo is one of the most bi-polar companies I swear, either it rocks(Vandread, Last Exile, Full Metal Panic, Speed Grapher) or suck(Witchblade, Final Fantasy Unlimited, Linebarrels of Iron). So I will be cautiously optimistic.

Gonzo is pretty much a shell of it's former self like the Earth Federation in UC 0153 (they lost Strike Witches for crying out loud), I doubt this will make them get back on their feet but it's a nice try and this could be a good anime.

Not only Strike Witches. Don't forget that Saki sold very good too but they don;'t get much from it cause sold rights in the middle of the series airing.

But I knew that they are not dead. They made some staff for new games last months so, probably they earn some money to make new series now

GONZO don't make just one kind of anime and unlike some company that can only doing the same thing again and again.

Gonzo didn't completely lost Strike Witches though. They are still part of it's production staff, though they are indeed no longer the main producers.

I think a lot of the hate is just people going with the opinion of the elite rabble. Even though they are indeed not as good as in the past, they still produce decent stuff now and then and there are much worse studios out there. I dare say the Gonzo hate is nothing more than a stupid meme by now, hence the LOLGONZO comments you always find when someone talks about their anime shows.

I would've been excited about this news if Shangri-La didn't suck like it did. I don't know why an artist as talented as Murata bothers with a company that hasn't produced anything good since Gankutsuou; I would love to see Mad House or Production I.G hire him.

The only thing that I'll look forward to is whatever artbook that Murata will release based on this series.

That's why in my sentence I said "HIS Last Exile". I'm a fan of Murata's works anyway (though less than ABe's).

The anime studios have to invite Murata for a project, not the other way around. Declining work from Gonzo won't magically grant him offers from other companies (if given the choice, he'd obviously work on as many productions as possible).

At any rate, he has a good relationship with the producers at Gonzo.

I know that those companies have to be the ones to offer him work in order for that to happen, did I imply that I didn't in my post?

I love Murata's artwork, and both Mad House and Production I.G have been producing some great, critically acclaimed works. I was just expressing my wish to have his talent utilized by those companies and my frustration that last time he worked for Gonzo, his talent was wasted on a work that was poorly received. But who knows, maybe Gonzo will surprise me and this new project will end up as good as Last EXILE.

This makes me very happy. I've always had a soft spot for Gonzo. I'm glad they're still producing, even if people are less than enthusiastic. It's all left to opinion, so I won't argue against those that don't like the studio.

But how awesome! Murata Range's designs are fantastic, and Last Exile is ranked as my #1 series, so I hope it goes well. Can't wait to see what happens.

the gonzombie, hungry for brains.... *urrrglegrrrr.... brains!* .....finds range murata and assimilates him.... constantly searching for any unemployed staff that lags behind without a shotgun.

bring your torches and your chainsaws and let's have a good time. :D

on a serious note it might be interesting to see what they can produce. Murata's art design is spectacular and even if shows like Shangri La make little sense, they are still visually interesting. I'll be glad to see what Gonzo can push out in their dying breaths, since that is a good way to motivate a staff (to work those long sometimes unpaid hours that make an anime great).
