| Definitely looks Madoka-esque. I'll give it a look in when it airs no doubt. |
 |
| Chardesigns look like Ootsuka Mai's. |

| Shaft's shit. |

My thoughts exactly. We'll see how things turn out. |
| eh, im not expecting it being something like Madoka guess im skeptical. But I might give it a try. |
| Might watch. |
| Cannot view the website for some reason, but the character designs don't look very interesting... Looks like just another magical girl anime to me. |
| Shaft? It will be awesome. 100% guaranteed. |
 |
| Shaft and Kantoku... Maybe it could be just fantasy, not mahou shoujo. Looks interesting. I'll watch it for sure. |

Well the character design looks like your typical 2010's character design, what I wish to know (while everyone here is like "SHAFT this and SHAFT that") is who's going to direct this, annoying-over-the-top-Shin or way more refined Shinbou? |
 |
| Shaft. Love you. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I'll give it a try when it airs. Although, I don't think very highly of SHAFT as (what seems like) everyone else does. |
| I'm interested in this. Wonder if it's going to be mahou shoujo? |
  |
| New mahou shoujo? :D |
 |
| must be another Madoka Magica type of anime |
| Is that some kantoku? Welp im in |

They've done some memorable shows though, enough to make people think everything they do is awesome because most of them didn't watch they're obscure failure shows(70% of them were obscure failures). Also, why people want so much a new Madoka? Get over it, Madoka's already everywhere and true change would be to see something totally different from Madoka...You know what they say the more things change, the more they stay the same. |
| |
| Cute character designs. Will watch. |
 |
| Definitely watching |
| Shaft= must watch |
| Looks like hype. |
 |
| I dunno, maybe? Guess we'll see when it comes out. |
noyoureinsane said: Shaft? I'm watching. same here |
  |
| Shaft? Mahou Shoujo? HMMM... I'll keep it in mind! |
   |
| Hmmm. I have doubts, but I will check it out probably. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I wonder how is this gonna turn out into. |
 |
| Regardless of the premise, I always watch SHAFT shows. |
| Ok™ |
| My guess: definitely mahou shoujo, given the alternate costumes and the presence of (what seems to be) a magical mascot. However, they seem to have weapons that can be used as instruments, so maybe an idol crossover project? Either way, since SHAFT is involved, I'm very much interested. |

jmal said: True, I'm expecting those two reactions. Hell, I'll definitely be disappointed myself if it's exactly what it looks like. Makes me wonder, would that be worth it for them? There's certainly a ton of light-hearted Madoka fan material floating around, but how many people would seriously want a straightforward mahou shoujo series? Enough to target them with an original anime? I think the expectations are too high for anything that doesn't have a really universal appeal. A completely unique take on the genre might be their best bet.Absolutely watching, of course. I honestly don't think they need to try to replicate Madoka. On the other hand, everyone is going to be expecting it. Kind of a tough spot for Shaft, really. If they do what people expect, some will whine "rehash!", and if they make a lighthearted mahou shoujo others will claim "sucks, Madoka was better!". Or it could just not be mahou shoujo, although it sure seems to have the aesthetic of one, both in title and designs. But of course, I can see piles of Madoka prequel/sequel theories already so I at least expect them to pander to this angle with tons of room for speculation. I might even bear with a light hearted and cutesy series if they at least let me dissect it to pieces. |

Enough to target them with an original anime? Seeing how much money the most recent Nanoha movie made (a series that Shinbo actually directed before), I'd say there are many people who'd want one. Its been a while since we had a new true otaku aimed magical girl series that wasn't just grimdark and stuff. |
 |
| I will check this series out but won't expect too much from it like when Madoka just came out. Not really a fan of mahou shoujo genre but I just want to see what Shaft has to offer this time. If it's good, then it's good. |
| I should see trailer to assess this anime )) Just now I can not properly evaluate this anime :) |
 |
| Kantoku confirmed he's the one doing the designs, as expected. http://5-y.2-d.jp/ You can see on his official blog, a logo for the new Prism Nana project:  |
|
| is that another magical girl anime too? |
 |
| At least character design looks better than Madokas. |

| YEAH more shaft |
| ~"The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands." (Pirsig) |
| I thought Shaft was too busy adapting those Monogatari novels? |
| Might pick this up. |
 |
| I'll definitly watch this, and the designs looking good ^^ |
 |
| I'll watch anything by Shaft tbh and this is no exception. |
 |
| It looks like another Mahou Shoujo series. While if its anything like Madoka Magica than sign me up!! |
