| I will check out the first episode but damn does this underwhelming. The art style is extremely simple and not very appealing. The premise is also super vague and cliche. |

| Looks hella nice. Unique and out of the norm art style and color palette. I can only hope writing itself matches up in quality. |
 |
| I'm actually really digging the art direction here. It looks kinda like an old-school comic book, which makes perfect sense with the American-styled superheroes and Stan Lee's involvement. Animation also looks surprisingly good, especially considering that Studio DEEN is behind it. |
| The art looks to be paying homage to western comics; fitting, I suppose. It's definitely interesting and unique in the world of anime but also fairly low in detail and didn't seem all that energetic. The first episode proper will tell for sure, but I hope this doesn't hinder the inevitable big action scenes from being engaging. That said, if the story, characters and general writing quality are there, that could easily make up for it either way. |

I always thought that the less detailed drawings were, the easiest to animate they were. edit @Plasmatize @Nei-san If you're interesting in knowing more: http://www.anime-now.com/entry/2017/07/06/230036 |

I always thought that the less detailed drawings were, the easiest to animate they were. Yeah, I get that. Ideally this would mean more fluid, impactful and expressive animation when called for as a trade-off, but I wasn't really seeing that in the PV. It's only a snippet, though, so we'll see how the full show looks. |
| Looks like shit tbh |
 |
| >studio DEEN lol , no thx |
 |
| I'm all for experimentation. |

You obviously haven't watched anything from them recently. |
 |
| i would of said that 2 years ago, but they wound up making one of the best anime ever made (rakugo) and have generally been putting out alot more energetic stuff since recently that I cant help but sayt they have done one of the hardest 180's in quality I have ever seen. Seriously go check out rakugo and be confused as fuck how Deen made it, its one of those shows that absolutly deserves its rating on this site depsite how overbloated ratings get here. I mean even with this show you cant tell me its not trying something way different than alot of anime in terms of its visuals. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| why does no one take notice of who created and is directing this? just dismissing something nagahama hiroshi is making based on a PV or studio is stupid |

I just personally don't like it when people look at something only at face value and just look at the first thing they see as a label. By that logic, if a show is made by Madhouse, that means that for a lot of people its going to be good (it is a terrible example I know, but there have been people who took it like that... and then what happened? Sometimes even the best studios out there can have a bad stain in their records) so I guess the best suggestion is to look at the bigger picture before grabbing the gun, that's all I'm saying. This is why I look at the staff, cast, etc. Before saying any word regarding on this, of course there will be at times where I can be skeptical but all depends amount of episodes, gaps, the staff etc. But all plays out depending on the announcements. yeah, I'm with you. Though there isn't really anything wrong with sharing some quick thoughts based on face value. I just hope people don't dismiss this (or other shows) entirely just based on something like which Studio is animating it. There are a variety of factors that inform a show's quality. I'll be very surprised if this turns out to be average. Hiroshi Nagahama has a proven track record (even if you're not a fan of Aku no Hana, you can't deny its ambition) and I think this will be at the very least a unique show. |
