| Highly looking forward to this. I hope to see some animated footage but the key visual looks great so far. |
|
| Pretty good staff line-up in both the VA and the Staff departments. As I said in the series board, please fix the consistencies and awful pacing that the game had. |
 |
| Just tell me it's 12 episodes already. Interesting to see Lailah's new voice too. |
 |

Paulo27 said: Just tell me it's 12 episodes already. Expecting delays! Knowing how short this one is compared to other Tales games, wouldn't be a surprised, though would honestly prefer a 2 cour for a Tales game regardless. Curious if they're gonna skip the entire beginning since they already animated a movie for it. |
| Flow doing the OP? Sign me the fuck up |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Pretty solid lineup, hope it's 24 episodes split cour. As since Kara no Kyoukai I expect great things from Ufotable. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| cast looks good, hopefully the animation turns out good as well. |
 |
| As long as ufo does more UBW-esque animation and less God Eater-esque animation, I'm in |
 |
| y do they do this anything else would be better, like maybe star ocean, or radiata stories WHY ALWAYS TALES? THAT CRAP IS GARBAGE AND INVERSELY, THAT GARBAGE IS CRAP WTF'S WITH BERSERIA THAT'S ONE HELLA EDGY SHITE maybe NOT as much as Divine Gate but DAMN SON, Y??? and the name doesn't have a ring to it BerSEria WAT? who likes dat shite anyway, kids??? well yeah who else Graces f woulda been a much better choice pretty shitty story, but AT LEAST THE CHARACTERS ARE FUN AND IT'S GOT NO EDGE i just don fuccin gerit why do people feed on this do they really dig this kinda stuff?? surely kids can't be the majority of the patronisers since money from their parents is one thing |

| tales of berseria adaptation ? when ? XD i'm looking foward for this summer then :D |
 |
| I gotta finish the game before this. I've been slacking only got like 10 hours in. Really looking forward to it tho I loved that 1 special episode. |
 |
| I want to get excited because I kind of enjoyed Tales of Abyss and it'll at least be a visual feast because of Ufo, but I only heard negative things about the game. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS! it's going to be interesting to hear Lailah's new voice! the rest of the cast is the same as the video-game, so it's going to be nice to see them playing the characters again. can't wait for july! |
| Looks good so far. I will watch this. |
 |
| I'm getting the feeling this is going to be the best tales adaption as of now. BUt i still did not see tales of tales of symphonia which if I'm not worng was also made by ufo. |
 .. |
| Holy cow Flow just retire already. Flow keeps popping up in franchise I don't want them to. They did have that memorable JIBUN WO, but their Cha La Head Cha La was dreadful, an abomination. I'd be happier if they had the game OP's singer do another song (or reuse the same). Ufotable is a bit of a gamble. Hopefully it's 2-cour, as 1-cour is always a miss when it comes to video game adaptations. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| The cast are awesome. Count me in on this! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Sorey: Ryouhei Kimura (Tales of Zestiria: Doushi no Yoake) That's all I need. |
 |
| Gotta keep punching that clock, making licensed adaptations, ufo. Not holding any hopes for this considering its adaptation of worst game in series and Ufo already shitted their pants twice with god eater and ufo ubw. The only question is - will Ufo take a bad game andmake it worse just like with God EateR? |
 |
| So many announcements for summer. Played the game a bit and read some chapters, it was nothing special. Interesting how ufotable will handle this. |
 |
| Oh so she didn't get to do her part as Lailah for the anime. :( #RIPMiyuMatsuki Well, assuming they'll use the same story: - As a game, the first part of the story was decent but the second one fell flat, even though the second part actually had more potential than the first part. - As an anime, the plot is s*** and I think the anime will probably turn s***, too. Actually, I think those who haven't play the game yet be better off watching all the Shippuden fillers, instead. Because unless it goes 24 episodes, there's just simply no way to keep the story intact. And this is one of those story that will turn s*** if it's not intact. Meanwhile, while probably won't have as many new features as Zestiria, Tales of Berseria already looks like a much interesting game to play. Really hope that will also get an anime adaptation, one day. |

Don't worry, as Ufo showed with God Eater, they are perfectly okay with shitting on the story and making bad story even worse, as long as they meet the deadlines. That one literally ended midway through the story with a lot of things changed for worse. Ufo overall does not care for story or quality as long as they get the money from the game companies funding the adaptations, meet the deadlines and make their corporate overlords happy. |
|
| Been playing the game (well, 40 hours in but it's something) Seeing this makes me motivated to play more and more of it haha xD Gonna finish it before the anime~ Can't wait to see Sorey, Mikleo and squad in action again. LET THE HYPE BEGINNNNNNNN |

God Eater anime story was not ufotable's mistake. It was never possible, God Eater as 12/13-episodes anime, in the first place. It was a good game story, but turning that into anime was a different thing. Lenka just cannot fill the hole real human players left via Yuu. And they don't keep with the schedule at all, God Eater. Ufotable is an animation studio, and they're the type to make sure their animation is on-point. That's why those overlords choose them, you know? |

But that's ufo's decisions and choices they are okay with. And they don't keep with the schedule at all, God Eater. That's their fault. Ufotable is an animation studio, and they're the type to make sure their animation is on-point. Then why are their last two series (god eater except for art style) so creatively dead? |
|
| Meanwhile, I am waiting for my Xillia adaptation. |
| Mikleo is my waifu |
| I hope Ufo gets their shit together this time so we don't have another God Eater on our hand....Anyways I'm stoked for this. |
 |
| Lailah qq.... Looks pretty good though. Kind of curious how new VA for Lailah will sound. Here is to hoping its 24 eps! |
 |
| Of all the Tales games, they could've picked at least Vesperia, Xillia or even remade Symphonia. |
 |
| Totally hyped for this anime. Oh God I hope it is 24 eps. All other Tales adaptation had more than 1 cour length(symphonia had longer episode length). Am I the only one who actually liked the game. Granted that the antagonists are a bit lackluster. Also obligatory still no Xillia adaptation? |
