| I couldn't find a right chance to make a news topic for this anime because the information has been revealed little by little. I think it's time to summarize the info. |
| I was looking forward to this at first, expecting some cool, awesome action shounen or seinen, but after see'ing the characters and the design, i'm not so sure anymore. Will wait and see. |
| The synopsis seems ok, nothing mind-blowing, but might try it out. My only dislike is that every character seems to have the same weapon, which probably has to do with this show's story, but it's kinda lame. |
| Reminds me so much of KHR. I don't think I'm going to watch this. |
 |
| I was already going to watch this because Hanazawa Kana, but the Urobuchi Gen made it one of my most anticipated. |
 |
| AND NOW I'M HYPED. |
 |
| Highly anticipate this The synopsis looks interesting + Urobuchi Gen |
| Yesss cant wait. And who the fuck cares if its shounen, seinen or w/e. If it's good then who cares |
| It doesn't sound very noitaminA... and usually the not very noitaminA shows on noitaminA are not very good but maybe it will be worth trying. |
| i made a thread about this that this is the secret CyberPunk anime project Production IG is working on you can see the youtube video link here to see the interview - http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=487603 and it will be scripted by Urobochi Gen so expect tragic deaths again lol |
| That's interesting - Urobuchi Gen is responsible for the scenario. The synopsis reminds me of Equilibrium... a film that Urobuchi liked so much that he even wrote a fanfic to it (Jouka no Monshou - http://vndb.org/v1390). Well, it's more than obvious that this series will heavily resemble Equilibrium in terms of plot... not that I mind it, it was an amazing film so I'm looking forward to this anime. |

| Gen Urobuchi. Kana Hanazawa. NOT about fucking teenagers (thank God). Looking forward to this. |

| Wooo, wonder how it wil go. Sounds too good to be true. I'll go in expecting a Guilty Crown just to be safe. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Btw, am i the only one here who clicked the table of contents link, scrolled down only to find "18+" Links/thumbnails leading to a crapton of Hentai magazines? lol |
| I thought that this was going to be along the lines of seinen too but I read about it the other day and I still think it looks promising and an anime I would be interested in. |
Squatta said: I thought that this was going to be along the lines of seinen too but I read about it the other day and I still think it looks promising and an anime I would be interested in. Well guns+action are usually Seinen, and i do think this is a Seinen (Or at the very least a Shounen), but the characters and the design isn't a good sign for me lol, i'll have to read some reviews first. |
| I'm really looking forward to this now, seeing the cast. I hope it doesn't disappoint. |
| Became interested in this since I've known that the character desisgn is made by Amano Akira <3 Can't wait to watch it! |
| This is going to be AWESOME!! |
 |
| Oh, more illustrations are out :O Nice~ The story could be interesting... |
| Seeing that seiyuu cast i don't even care for Urobuchi. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Hope there're some Loli's and Moe's in this Anime! |

| While I liked FAte/Zero and Madoka, can't say I'm interested in this. Looks like its got reverse harem written all over it. |
 |
| The Art looks like KHR... and Hibari. O_O And no duh! KHR's mangaka came up with the character designs. XD A little disappointed in the character design, but it looks interesting enough still. :D Not about teens = raise my expectations a little. |

Definitely not reverse harem from the synopsis I'm talking about the look. Its got a group of "Hot guys" with a bland as possible main female character. Thats the exact setup of a reverse harem |

Thats the exact setup of a reverse harem Three of the seven characters revealed so far are female. |
| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| Looks ok...to be honest Production I.G is not what it used to be. A lot of their newer series fell flat imo. Remember when Guilty Crown was being hyped? Also I really don't care for Urobutcher much...While I enjoyed Madoka I really felt disappointed with Fate/Zero |
| Well if you guys want to keep your hopes up, thats cool. All I'm saying is that the look of it gives me no confidence in it, so I'm gonna skip it. Its obviously aimed at a female audience and I'm not that demographic. |
|
| Sounds interesting. Looking forward to this. |

Its obviously aimed at a female audience and I'm not that demographic. Well maybe It looks like the anime is aimed at female audience because of Amano's character design? But I don't think It is aimed for female The premise and the "Police vs Criminal" setting are too serious If only aimed at female audience |
| looks pretty darn good. |
 |
| Seems interesting, i will watch it, noitamina has great anime line-ups by the way |
 "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
| noitaminA ♥__♥ |
 |
| I was looking forward to Urobuchi Gen's new project. Too bad it'll be homo. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Still sounds decent, hopefully it won't be another Fractale/C/Guilty Crown NoitaminA disappointment. And it seems 'homo' and 'not homo' are the new black and white. But who needs colors, right? |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| it's unwise to judge about plot by the cover than it comes to Gen ) |

Nachtwandler_21 said: it's unwise to judge about plot by the cover than it comes to Gen ) I don't doubt it'll be quality and many people will like it. But I personally don't care how good a story is if its just a bunch of bishounens. The main reason I watch anime is for the moe and cute girls, after all. |
|
| Hanazawa, Kana is voicing, time to watch this show. |
 |
| Hanazawa Kana and Sawashiro Miyuki sound nice. I'm not too overjoyed to see Urobochi's name here though...well, at least we can bet in which order the characters die. |
