According to their official site, Brains Base announced its new project called Chou Jikou Robo Meguru (Hyperdimension Robo Meguru). Staff members and cast members for the series were also announced.

Staff
Director: Keiji Gotou
Script: Shouji Yonemura
Character Design: Masami Matsuoka
Sound Director: Takeshi Takadera
Sound Effects: Kenji Oyama
Editing: Yasutaka Ikeda

Cast
Meguru Tokio: Kana Asumi
Meguru: Marina Inoue

PV: http://www.brainsbase.co.jp/special/gallary.html

Synopsis
The story of the mecha anime revolves around 13-year old Meguru Tokio, who is suddenly approached by a strange woman who is running away from something. She finds out that the girl's name is also Meguru, and although she appears to be around 17 or 18 years old, she has a passionate personality, which the younger Meguru has trouble dealing with. Meguru Tokio gets drawn into the older Meguru's fight with a mysterious organization, and gets targeted by the organization as well. The one targeting them from the organization was the narcissist, Rei.

Although the younger Meguru can't believe that the older one came from the future, she fights alongside her in a dimensional robot. After fighting with Rei, she finds out that even though the other Meguru is older than her, she is Meguru Tokio's descendant. After finding out that someone has jumped into the past by the older Meguru's history surveillance device, the two also make a leap back into the past. (Source: ANN)

At first i thought to tell you that you always complain.
But sorry you were so damn right.

I like the character designs. Story looks very basic. Kana Asumi lead role is always a plus in my books. + I'll give it a try when it comes out.

I'm not fond of the character designs either. Still, good news for mecha fans. The only mecha anime I'll (maybe)finish is Aldnoah. Zero haha.

Original mecha anime, so at least worth a look. Hopefully it handles its female cast better than Cross Ange... then again, even ISIS probably does that.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

You make it sound like that's something bad. I'll watch just because of that.
In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom.

Please Brains Base :(

Maybe I'll try a few episodes, but doesn't look that great upon my first impression. I liked the coloring in two watercolor illustrations, seems like it would look better in manga form than anime imo.

A glance over the title made me have small hope for a more classic approach to the Super Robot genre for once but nope, more terrible shit.

Wow, that's specific. Just further and further back into the past, weird organizations... I don't think I can handle this... and yeah, the character art...

The character designs look below average, the story, well.. isnt' spectacular (imo) either. Maybe it's because this sounds like a mecha anime and it isn't my favorite genre.

Not true! That's merely Sturgeon's Law doing works. 90% of everthing they announce turns out to be crap after all.
