The animation seems pretty nice, nothing really popping out synopsis wise as super interesting on the surface though sadly.

The studio is relatively new so we'll see how it goes. Hope to see the actual PV in better quality tonight with sound.

Well it's sci-fi so I'll probably try watching it. Though I didn't like the visuals in those pics that much.

Studio 3Hz doing their second show.
Liking those images a lot, Sora no Method looked great and Tokuyuki Matsutake is an awesome character designer.

I dont know the synopsis of the manga sounded like it could be interesting, it sounds like a cross between DTB/bebop with it bounty hunter sounding MC(goes after illegal coils) with characters going a bit ghost in the shell like with robotic bodies.

Yeah it could easily spell trainwreck too but thats literally everything, though the bit about running into a girl and how she will "change his life" is kind of worrying

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

Synopsis sounds interesting. Visual doesn't look too bad either. But considering that Studio 3Hz will adapt this, setting expectations low in advance.

Meh, not bothered. The source material is by the same guy as Darker Than Black, which I felt was massively overrated, so I can't see myself enjoying this. Also, it sounds generic as hell and is by that studio who did Celestial Method (I guess it'll look nice at least).

The manga synopsis sounds better than what's on here. Hopefully it'll be a true adaptation - feels a bit like the Life Fibres from Kill la Kill, these coils. Plot is anything but that, from what I gather. Good luck, Funimation! Looking forward to it.

Wow, for the first time in my life a manga i'm currently reading is getting an anime, not sure how to react.

The manga is far from being Iwahara's best work, i'd have preferred to see a proper adaptation of King of Thorns instead.

You can watch it here instead

holy shit, reallly?

When?

honestly is seems a bit premature (unless they're doing an other of those 13 eps series, bleh, a 24+ episodes would fit best for this kind of serie)
and the source is far from being masterpiece material, so not going into this with high expectations for sure
but i'm still very surprised it's getting animated :D

Sort of feels like a more serious version of Space Dandy? Not really the synopsis just based on how things look in the video. Anyways, this looks interesting so I will watch it.
