bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Well, that'll make an awkward romance. |
 |
| Art looks nice but I can tell this is going to be very boring. And that ain't no fucking motor cycle thats a sissy scooter. |

| When are these character designs going to stop looking retarded? |
 |
| Sounds more like a commercial than an actual anime. But the fact that Sato Junichi is directing excites me nonetheless. |

Since the director is known for Aria, I have my hopes up :P What, and you don't think Aria is a very moe-inducing show for many people? It sure is for me (in the real meaning of the word). SatoJun is a master of this stuff. But I'm not expecting too much from this. It's hard for me to get excited about short OVAs like this, even from a great director like SatoJun. What I like in Aria is not moe, it's the peacefulness. |

| She reminds me of Alpha, actually a lot of Alpha mixed with the good traits of Fu with the look of a middle school aged loli. This is moe but those expecting fanservice should look elsewhere, this is Tamayura with scooters. |
 |
| Aria is moe without trying, or rather without the focus being on the moe. It's a nice pleasing side dish of moe which is nice to me. Hopefully this OVA is something similar (though it obviously will be no Aria... not it's fault though, nothing will be quite like Aria). OVAs have the potential to be impactful and pleasing. Here's hoping. If this turns into anything like that Goddamned Suburu the Animu though.... |

| >people complaining about moe in a SatoJun SoL show No, people really couldnt be this stupid right? Anyways outside of the whole HONDA blatant advertizing, I have yet to be disappointed by any SoL where SatoJun is involved. I will definitely be watching this. |
| lol @ the thighs in the trailer. sato heading into fanservice territory. beautiful miusic thin=ouhg |
| absolutely nothing happened in that trailer, yet why am i so excited? :) |

mdz said: Well, that'll make an awkward romance. She can even get a spot on TLC. There was a guy on there who has sexual relations with his car. |
| Ok™ |
| Hmm, might give this a go. |
| It sounds alright except for the dream part. |
| so it's seems to be motorization porn like in Ah! My Goddess minus goddess part and with some weird cat (he just need to add one there) whatever - SoL made by SatoJun = amazing ride bring it on and take my money :) |
| Is it just me, or it looks like the character model is actually an overfiltered 3DCG? |
| I was like meh, then i saw Sato Junichi and i'm all in now. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| If it would be at least like Tsmayura — I don't mind. |
 |
| Looking forward to this. Relaxing slice-of-life are a good way to take out the everyday stress from RL activities. Maybe Sato should try another slice-of-life anime in an outer space, sci-fi setting. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| not interesting :( |
 |
| It looks nice and peaceful, great animation..and those thighs. |
| Sounds good, some hopefully serious-ish slice-of-life with motorcycles. Definitely gonna check this out. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
jmal said: Siva said: How can one group 2 different things together and call it the same? I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. But I never said they were the same thing. Ok, let's put it this way: Sato Jun'ichi can do moe right. What is attractive in Aria for me is not moe. Otherwise I would have had the characters as my favourites. It's the "healing" aspect of it. They are two concepts that are not contradictory, but I said one is the selling point for me. Not the other. |

| the character design is really cute and the pv gives a very relaxing feeling.so i will watch this |
 |
| Eew. She loves her motorcycle? Does that mean she's butch? I don't find it attractive (my sexist mind does not find it attractive, I should say) when females ride motorcycles. Still, hopefully it's more entertaining than the Tamayura TV series... Well, I'm not even sure I'm going to watch this one, so I really don't care. |
| i don't feel this anime at all so will pass |
| If he can do it with gondolas... I'm pretty sure he can do it with motorcycles. |
 |
| This seems extremely boring.. it doesn't help that she starts drinking tea on her bike in the trailer =/ |
 |
| Frankly, I was expecting that moped to talk, but I guess Hermes doesn't have a sister after all... Nice fanservice, though. Still not that interested. |
| Rather interested in this, the trailer doesn't really flaunt itself though, does it? Hopefully there will be more trailers soon. VioLink said: that ain't no fucking motor cycle thats a sissy scooter. Lool! |
| Quite interesting. |
| I like the director's works. Will watch. |
