Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I was so hyped for this show even though I thought the MAL pic was a bit meh until I saw Studio Pierrot was the studio behind it. I haven't seen much of legend of korra but this looks so crappy

Arakawa Hiromu art always leads to epic anime, just hope this one follows her other works path. If it does this should be epic.

Soo-Won as Arslan? Pretty good choice. The rest of the cast is solid as well (although I wanted Katsuyuki Konishi as Daryun).

Taro Iwashiro writing the music for Arslan? That's going ro be incredible. I still listen some of the Red Cliff and Onimusha OSTs

Lidenfilms have Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo and this which I assume would be action-packed and that means harder to animate, how the fuck would they survive this spring? They're crazier than WIT lol.

First thing that came to mind when I saw that MC:

It's like a male-but-still-kinda-female version of Asseylum.

My feels are so mixed on this series. On one hand I'm super excited for something originally by Tanaka Yoshiki, but so many things are pointing to mediocrity. OTL

The PV keeps my hopes up a bit, but I can't base much on such little showcasing...

Namikawa Daisuke seems like an odd choice for Narsus though, based on the roles of his that I know.

Sigh I knew the art direction was going to be horrid when I saw how Arslan looked.

Pharangese is now a generic big tittied revealing clothed character yet looks less sexy than her 90's ova counter part.

Art style is killing my hype for this. Will they make it two for two and have the musical score change from fitting background pieces used in the 90s ova to up beat jap poprock?

While designs look atrocious, I wouldn't worry about music. I mean, it's Taro Iwashiro

The cast!! I truly love all the seiyuu announced so far! And people are praising the music composer. This anime will be a feast to my ears at least.

As for LIDENFILMS, I thought that Aiura was very well animated. (like really, that Jango scene in ep7). But aside from that, I find their animation pretty mediocre...

That is a relief, at least the ost will most likely be good regardless of the outcome.

Agreed, really wish they would have just continued from the original OVA series...

I totally didn't expect Yuuki Kaji as Silvermask.

I don't like it though but maybe I'll get used to or something.

Maybe because I really hate Yuki Kaji (the only seiyuu I hate), but he sounds really unnatural in the trailer... Like he is focusing all his force to his throat to produce that voice. Maybe the character was mad when he said those lines...

Just when I thought that finally a series that combines all and only my very appreciated seiyuu all together, they had to add Yuki Kaji. *sigh*

how about you guys give it a try....

Not a big fan of Arakawa's art. Very round-ish faces in general.

but adding Kaji Yuki to the mix makes anything have an obligatory -1 right off the bat so Arslan Senki is off to a 9/10 start instead of that 10/10 dream
this is the true plight of the subbed community, dub fans rejoice

Story is the only saving grace at this point... anything else is a good surprise.

But damn, Farangis is really bothering me! Arakawa, why? D;
