Looks good. One of the strongest points of Honoo no Kokuin was character design so it's good to see Kanno on board. I wonder how long will it be.

Somehow you can see the resemblance with Gundam Unicorn with the char artlines, color and even the music. Guess that's to be expected of the same director. I really like what I've seen from Unicorn and this PV so I'll be keeping an eye out for this.

When I saw the MC in the art and then saw that Murase is voicing him, I was a bit surprised, but then I saw the PV and then it made sense to me. The mix of the cast looks interesting, happy to see Tsuda, Konishi and KENN, seems like they'll have prominent roles in this if they aren't mains as well.

So excited! The PV looks great and cast sounds good too. I really hope for a 2 cour (at least 24+ episodes). Hope MAPPA can make it happen.

Hmm an anime show about Ottoman Empire huh? Haven't started to reading manga but I think I'll start to watching Anime since I'm lazy to read Manga ~

Seiyuu cast is also great.

Hope they'll adapt Vinland Saga as well in the future :/

Not a fan of Mappa. But this could turn out better than their other anime. 50% chance of watching.

Politics + fantasy... SO. MUCH. HYPE. This jumped to my Top 3 anticipated for 2017~

MAPPA's animation is superb too, can't wait to see the fights. :D
Hinata as the lead tho, wut.

As I thought... It's impossible to retain the manga art style. Let's hope they won't tune down the violence so much.

Great, don't have to pick up the manga again then. I liked the manga, but it was somewhat tiring to read with lots of explanations.

As a fan of Mappa, I'll watch almost anything they dish out, I really enjoy their anime and animation style like Ushio to Tora, Shingeki no Bahamut and YOI.


Almost thought this was the awaited Magi season three though because of the designs...

Never would've thought I'd see one of my uncles' name in a manga/anime, let alone as the main character's name lol.

Referencing Turks? Makes me happy. On my PTW.

> Zağanos Zehir.
This dude's name literally means poison. Alright

This manga has been going on since 2007?! Woah. A tiny bit surprising that it gets an adaption now. Not complaining though!

Hopefully it will be better than the likes of Arslan Senki and Akatsuki no Yona. I'm tired of how this kind of anime never delivers.
