Comedy huh? I would've said shounen, judging by the art style.
Anyway, awesome I guess. I like comedies.

Gonzo, the Sakuga Hokai master. That's the question.

Who keeps giving Gonzo money?
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

Reimu? That's quite similar as far as I can tell from the little screen. Looks a bit "gothic" from the style. The "shining" eyes... I've seen that artstyle somewhere, but dunno where it was. But I doubt they animate it with that style.

Not really excited about it. This thing looks quite...unimpressive. Well, I suppose that after the new Last Exile, which obviously won't sell despite the series cult following, they need something to appeal the general fanboy mob and score some money as well. The problem is...they should've adapted some popular manga in order to make money. On the other hand, Strike Witches were original and succeeded...guess I'll wait and see.

Anyway, it's interesting to see how the new Gonzo will handle themselves. The current studio has almost nothing in common with neither old Gonzo, that was the leading and the most recognized force in the anime industry, possessing the most innovative technologies that's currently largely employed by all other studios, nor late Gonzo that did a shitload of anime per year just for the sake of it, mostly with a serious lack in quality.

that's why I'm looking forward to this anime, I may be rather sceptical for now, but all in all I'll watch it for the sake of seeing their first show after being "reborn".

I thought they WERE dead. What happened to their financial trouble? As far as I'm aware, they didn't have a one-hit revival like Gainax and Square Enix.

I like GONZO as a brand (and as a studio to some extent... they produced some stuff I really like after all) and would be really sad to see it go away (which DID NOT happen yet, despite the haters loving to proclaim it's early dismissal anywhere they can), but as already mentioned, the creative force behind the name is very different from what it once was for the better and the worse.

That said, I approve of this news and will give the show a fair shot once it comes out.

Well, it's Gonzo, I'd actually be surprised if they made something based on manga, or such.

Anyways, the character designs look good, hope they can keep it up.

I sorta dig the character art. I thoroughly enjoyed Seto no Hanayome and Welcome to the NHK from Gonzo so I believe they make something decent.(I also liked their takes on Kiddy Grade and Blue Drop although they were not as great) .
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

Well I approve of making an original anime. It is certainly better than grabbing up a good manga and screwing it halfway to hell by deviating from the original storyline.(Bokurano, Rosario+vampire, etc)

I don't hate Gonzo. They did a great job with NHK, Saikano and Witchblade was also surprisingly good. Not to forget Gankutsuou. I am digging the character designs on this show. I cringe at the sight of "School comedy" but it would be interesting it this turned out to be a parody of typical shounens.

Well lets see how it turns out.

I thought so too.

I want to believe that this will be good because the character designs are pretty. Won't know until it airs and I try it out though.

The art is good, although the anime may be so so, and what's up with all of the school comedies? Ishihara can't ban all of them or restrict them all especially if they don't use school uniforms or have ecchi in the anime. Japan panicking much, it doesn't say all school comedies banned.

Gonzo likes to trow lots of curve balls and relating to your particular statement they already sent a huge one with Tower of Druaga (Rosario+Vampire is another one, it's good but after reading the manga I can see why people that was into into previously got pissed). What started as something amazingly promising quickly turned into Gonzo's trademarked "meh" feeling so abundantly present on most of their shows.

Don't get me wrong, there is much to be loved about Gonzo, but drifting from the norm was never one of their traits. Instead, they were always the best when they sicked to the tied and true... maybe with some specks of originality here or there. I am hoping they stick to a fun and cleverly written moe show that gives them some much needed revenue and us something to enjoy, I really don't think they are in a position to try anything remarkably original/untested right now.

^this. people seem to forget some of the awesome works they have done as a whole. as for there bad cgi... i could care less if its good or bad to be honest... i watch anime for the story telling mostly and the characters. hollywood doesnt even do cgi that great lol besides the "G" for the logo is pretty wicked XD come back even stronger Gonzo! this show could suck but i will still try to watch it. Emomen TURRRNN!! :D

I couldn't have put it any better myself. Nonetheless, I'll probably watch it because... well, why not? It would only not be worth watching if it were boring~

I don't get the Gonzo hate at all. I just did a quick glance of the stuff they've done and quickly realized there is a lot of good stuff in there. A good portion of their stuff are some of the more popular shows.

Like any studio they are gonna screw the pooch at some point, but don't see why they should be written off entirely because of it.

Not surprised by that at all as I was already aware that they had done a lot of my personal favorites. As a result, I'll be giving this show a shot.
