Amazing soundtrack and visuals. Bones delivered in that PV. This could be an AOTY material.

Not too bad, this has been my most anticipated series since they announced it, so hopefully it delivers. The visuals look nice and the music fitted it well. This could have potential to be one of the AOTY.

The PV gave me a sort of Trigger vibe, but I guess that's because they're being as faithful to the source material as possible with the characters being sort of distorted. It looks promising.

Bones seems on a roll this year. Bungou Stray Dogs, Mob Psycho and now this all look really good and at the same time it'd be hard to see they're all made by the same studio. Just goes to show they try to adapt the source material as closely as possible, at least until the last few episodes...
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...

If there's one thing that Bones is good at, it's got to be the visuals and soundtracks.

Was expecting either Kato Tatsuya or Hayashi Yuuki based on the previous PVs, really glad that it really is one of them.

The color and style used seems like a good fit for a solid animation and we also have Umakoshi as the chief animation director so that's definitely a good sign.

This is shaping up to be one of the better adaptations these few years based on the staff alone. I wouldn't try to worry too much about Bones going anime-original since it seems like they're doing a good job on that by getting back on track with the source material based on their recent adaptations.

Looks great and all, really though props to Bones.
But I'm scared that they won't be able to fully bring out this series potential if it'll only have 12 episodes. It might probably have enough material for a 2 cour. But than a second season might not be a possibility.

It's a JUMP series. Pretty sure it will be 2-cour just like AssClass, HQ!! and Souma. And it will probably get another season if the manga sales were boosted high enough, which I'm pretty sure of, given it's timeslot and how mainstream it is.

Nope, it's an actual super hero theme series that get some inspiration from Western comics.

Really cool PV, hopefully Bones adapts it faithfully the whole way through without an anime-original ending.
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.

Don't know those series, unless by 'Souma' you mean Shokugeki no Souma.
And what's a JUMP series?
I made a mistake there, I thought if the manga was turned into a 2 cour we'd probably have to wait some time before there's enough material for a 2nd season.
Anyway I am really looking forward to it, sadly the manga didn't attract me until the latter arcs, that's why I'm hoping that the anime will adapt as much as possible.

Wow, the preview looks amazing. Bones is going to deliver big time. I hope the author can keep ahead of the anime and they can keep this adaptation going. While this series is by no means perfect, it has a lot of heart.

Yeah, I meant Shokugeki no Souma. Looks like you're pretty new to anime/manga terms. When I said JUMP series, it means that it's serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine which is a popular magazine and that's where most of the big shounen series came from like One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. Usually most of their adaptations are long-running and full of fillers but recently, there've been a trend of them being made into 2-cour per season instead just like the ones I mentioned above. And they don't really care about BD/DVD sales as long as the manga is selling well (all 3 that I mentioned got 2nd seasons even though the BD/DVD sales for 2 of them are not that good). For a weekly manga, 1.5 year is enough materials for each 2-cour season and that's pretty much the common gap between each anime season.

Oh I know that magazine. Didn't know 'Jump Series' was a term though.
Yeah I took the 2-3 manga chapters for 1 episode and so it should be just enough for a 2-cour right.
Oh lol, AssClass must be Assassination Classroom, than what does HQ stand for?
Well that's odd, didn't expect them to make an anime when it probably won't even do well.
But I guess if it boosts the manga sales it's logical.

I like Kato, but outside of Horizon he's done nothing on the level of Hayashi's best stuff.
