Samurai Flamenco on MAL
myanimelistllcAug 31, 2016 5:23 AM
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The director from Baccano and Natsume? I'm sold. Wonder if it will be Brain's Base in charge again.

Psycho-Pass sold quite well, so I can see why the people behind noitaminA decided to greenlight another aesthetically similar looking anime (and two-cours, too!).

Seems like the tagline is:
To those 'adults' who don't want to become adults...” and "Hero will never give up, never hide, never be defeated, never accept evil."

Yeah, these are the lines shown on the key visual and the movie when you click on the official website.

Never saw UtaPri but the visuals look decent. And it's the director of Baccano and Durarara so there's some promise. Most of his work is in Brain Base so there's a chance that it is Brain Base but we'll see. Will need more details as well.

Reminds me, what was on the noitaminA slot last Spring? I don't remember any show that aired there last season.

Based on the visual part alone it seems like something I'd enjoy. Now I just need a MAL entry of the show so I don't forget about it.

This spring you mean?

It was Katanagatari rebroadcast. And this summer half of the slot would be AnoHana rebroadcast btw.

>TV version of Katanagatari

First version was TV too. Just with specific airing schedule

Standard 1-cour TV broadcast version of Katanagatari then.

The art is amazing and dat title ♥

The guy to the left is either a cyborg samurai or that's a hero suit he is wearing? The other is in a military uniform. Is exactly what I like, manly! Everything there seems to be sure interesting and is original, something to look forward to.

It certainly peeked my interest when I saw the director was Omori Takahiro but I don't know... still have to look more into it.

Will watch just for Takahiro Omori.

For people wondering why this looks nothing like UtaPri, Kurahana Chinatsu only made the original/game designs. UtaPri has a different character designer in charge.

Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks.

Samurai flamenco?

...

Sounds like if they wanted a mix of Miyamoto Musashi and Chiquito de la Calzada to me.

This. I'm pretty excited for this, the key visual alone is enough to make me feel that way. I'm always a fan of noitaminA shows.

This promotional art is really putting me off (shoujo much...) and I have absolutely no faith both in noitamina and director but the tag line is kind of intriguing. I might give it a shot depending on further info. But if it's by Brains Base I'm out.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.
