| SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki is performing the ending theme and Hiroyuki Sawano is composing the music. Can't wait to listen. This gonna be epic. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Production wise, I am much looking forward to this. That cast looking really spicy, plus some of the staff. Quite interested to find out how this will unfold. |
| I've been looking forward to this for a while and I like what I'm seeing! Got a little bit of God Eater vibes from the PV, for some reason. Sawano God Hiroyuki + Mizuki is a hit combo and the little peek on the ED suggests the same will continue, can't wait! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Glory to the Spearhead squadron!! Nice KV and the PV is amazing. The OST slaps and the ED is great. The additional VA's are fitting to their respective characters. Like Raiden, Anju, Theo and Krena. |
 |
| New PV and Key Visual looks great. |
 |
| Looks great. Probably my most anticipated show this season along with To Your Eternity and Joran. We need more military war dramas and mecha as well in the medium. |
| I am really hyped for this series.Hopefully it will be good. |
 |
| It has such a 2007 feel to it for some reason, I'm surprised the light novel is actually from 2017. |
  |
| I'll be sure to watch it, this 2nd pv looks very good |
    |
| It'll be interesting to hear a new OP from hitorie ever since their lead vocalist passed away a couple years ago. |
| 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. |
| Great Staff and the PV is beautiful ... I think it will be a good anime. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
