| I'm only watching this anime because the name "Urobuchi" is mentioned AND it's an anime original; but hey it looks decent enough. Hopefully it proves to be a good Summer anime since those are few and far between IMO. |

j0x said: so its coming on july, but damn another school settings, if i heard right A1 wants to compete with the Gundam franchise for this Aldnoah Zero but serious Gundam shows do not have school settings to lessen its seriousness the CGI looks well done though im still gonna watch this just to see what is the hype all about No they said they want to surpass Gundam even though I'm not sure what the metric for that would even be or how long they expect this thing to last. I just chalk it up to typical Aniplex hyping BS that'll ultimately prove to just be about marketing buzz like they do for everything. So far really all it seems like they do is mash up popular names, tropes and ideas to try to pull in as many demographics as possible and then just throw a lot of money at the show and especially at marketing and try to score a hit. The show looks like it might be alright, but then who knows, you can say that about almost anything just based on a trailer. It could just be yet another Aniplex show that is meant to be a flashy blockbuster and "cutting edge" but ends up being something that fills 24 episodes of content and then just ends. The OST is generic as hell but then Sawano is so run into the ground at this point that that's hardly surprising. |
| I'm interested in this series because of the big-three attached to it. Urobutcher, Sawano, and Aoki. Thing is... I didn't notice it before but.. Takayama Katsuhiko (Series Composition) did the scripts for Boku no Pico and its three sequels. What a world we live in. |

| Interesting. Not that great for a trailer though. |
| I like anime. |

Takayama Katsuhiko (Series Composition) did the scripts for Boku no Pico and its three sequels. What a world we live in. That's how Aniplex gets you. Big claims (will surpass Gundam), big names (Urobuchi, Shinbo, Aoki, Sawano, Kaijura, Araki), and a whole lot of empty promises and disappointment at the end. Hopefully people have learned their lesson by now to take thing with a grain of salt during the promotional phase of anything they do. j0x said: the CGI looks well done though im still gonna watch this just to see what is the hype all about Aniplex is the simple answer. |
| I'm not too interested but it looks like it could be fun, who knows. :o |
| More mecha is always good. And from Urobochi. Wonder how involved is he in this one? Like in Gargantia (basically only chapters 1 and 13)? Shimura Takako on the character designs. Knew they looked familiar. |
on 
| Urobutcher pls |
| It's funny.. As of now, this looks better than the recently announced 35th anniversary Gundam series announcements. It has good staff, it has a unique character designs, and it is being backed by A-1. (Which isn't always the best thing... but they can have great animation when it counts.) I'm looking forward to this. |

| Official site is up with updates: http://www.aldnoahzero.com/ |
|
| Not sure I like the characters design but I will give it a watch. |
 |
| The initial advertisement (image on the front page and tagline) got me interested but the preview instilled some doubt. Not sure if I like the character designs. |
| The only thing missing from the Fate/Zero trifecta is Yuki Kajiura, but since we got Hiroyuki Sawano instead, what could possibly go wrong? |

| Argh, them Shimura Takako designs are so good. <3 Kaioshin_Sama said: fst said: The only thing missing from the Fate/Zero trifecta is Yuki Kajiura, but since we got Hiroyuki Sawano instead, what could possibly go wrong?

| CM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N-hzqfD-kkc Mini story outline: The commercial outlines the premise of the story: In 1972, a hypergate was discovered on the surface of the moon. But then, humankind came into contact with beings from Mars, leading to war. |
|
| That story outline reminds me of Muv-Luv actually, will watch for sure. |
 |
| Butcher and Hiroyuki Sawano here ? Definitely will watch. |

| The PV wasn't anything impressive besides the music. The staff involved in the anime is crazy good, hoping to see better PV or trailer on this. |

See Guilty Crown and many other overhyped Aniplex shitshows. What does Guilty Crown have to do with this? The only commonality is Hiroyuki Sawano, and Guilty Crown had great music. Last time that Aniplex tried to make a bleeding edge show that they figured would be the next big thing by throwing popular names into a blender on all fronts Guilty Crown was the result we got and boy was it a mess. I don't see any reason why I should expect this to be any different right now since it's basically raising all the same flags Guilty Crown did when they were trying to hype the shit out of it. Just don't want to get fooled again. People figure just because this staff worked on some popular and well-received shows in the past this show is guaranteed to be great, but a lot of things look and sound good on paper only to turn out not so good in application. It's so blatant that the producers are trying to bank off the popularity of the staff from their work on Fate/Zero and some other really popular stuff in the community they've worked on recently that I have to wonder how well they've thought beyond that which quite often doesn't seem to be the case. It's very typical for Aniplex to just get all these popular names and hype the shit out of a show before the start of the season thrusting those popular names in peoples faces and then forget to actually put anything into make the show good enough to sustain itself in the absence of all the hype. Cynical commercialism over actually quality content. I'm taking a very cautious approach with this one and while I'm interested I'm not planning on giving it any particular extra special consideration with the number of times I've been burned by the Aniplex approach before. Just so sick and disgusted of how much they try to hype everything up and always take this approach and like 9 times out of 10 the show turns out to be disposable trash. |

Different Studio, Different Writer, Different Director, etc. And the staff of Guilty Crown wasn't anything special, the director is the same of Death Note and the writers from Code Geass, and that is it. The staff is far more better than that. |
| The staff looks really good, but the PV does feel a bit underwhelming to me and I'm not really into mecha anime. I wonder if they're gonna face backlash if this ends up being a flop, with the claims they're making about this series. |

The staff is far more better than that. Same producer and that's all that really matters at the end of the day. The show itself is going to have to prove it's as good as they've been hyping it up to be as they always do if I'm ever going to be particularly impressed here, but for me throwing the same old popular names they always do at my face is not enough. I hope for their sake their actually focused on making the show good and not just their favorite list of credits again. XLNC said: Now this series has both Sawano and Kajiura, even if the latter will only contribute to the OP theme. Not even remotely surprised. I knew they'd find some way to include Kajiura too since she's the only remaining name left off the list whenever Aniplex is trying to hype people up over a show. Literally the only name missing from their usual stable is Akiyuki Shinbo, but I think tossing Ei Aoki into the role of director kind of precludes that cause now they can add "From the director of Fate/Zero" as part of the hype campaign. |
| ^ I've been replaying the song sequence like 10 times. I'm really liking the song. |

Dunois said: Stark700 said: The image tag doesn't seem to be working. Really? I can see the image though. |
|
| slaine looks the same as l-elf from kakumeiki valvrave |
 |
| Well this certainly looks interesting with Urobuchi at the helm, Aoki as director, and Sawano as composer. Looking forward to give this a try. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| urobuchi, hiroyuki sawano, and the scriptwriter of boku no pico. lol this is a must see. |
 Another Sig WIP |
