Full of lolis, but the PV is kinda intriguing. Curious about the cast.

How come everyone thinks that every new magical girl anime is influenced and somehow going to be inspired by Madoka? Can't we have a new mahou shoujo that doesn't somehow relate to Madoka, please?

It's kinda like taking an idol series and comparing it to iDOLM@STER. Even if the series is different at heart from Madoka, there are a lot of exterior similarities that will lead to the inevitable comparisons. The same thing can happen between shows like Mondaiji and Dog Days, K-on and moeblog anime, Sword Art Online and the .hack series, and ecchi action series similar to Senran Kagura.


Man, you beat me. I was going to say that. Btw, looking forward to it.

Mahou shoujo? I'm in.
DARK maou shoujo? WOWOWOW, definitely will watch!
It would be awesome, if Madoka Magika actually starts new genre.
Art looks a bit... And I loved Madoka designs. Animation in the PV looked actually pretty flat. Well, so far I'm quite interested in it, girl with violet hair looks like the new Homura.

Ever since Madoka Magica I learned not to judge a book by its cover. And I certainly don't intend to change that now.

It's better to judge by the staff. Madoka was great because of the director and Urobuchi Gen.


And SHAFT.

Normally I don't use production studios as a basis for evaluation, but Shaft and White Fox are pretty damn consistent when it comes to making good anime as compared to most others (going off what I've read on reviews and the few that I've seen from either of them).


Just to clarify, I was adding on another reason why Madoka was great, and it was due to SHAFT's production values and quirks, imo. I dont think that every SHAFT anime will be as amazing as it though, since they do have flops/average anime. Like Sasami and Denpa Onna.

I think we should all agree that SHAFT is one of the best studios out there to make it simple lol.

It does look like the baby between precure and madoka.
Looks weird but original anime always has something to offer. Might be shit, but you never know till you taste it.

I love when the character designs really draw you in. I am hesitant about magical girl anime, but I might have to check it out if it starts well.

Looks like Madoka, from the eerie Kajiura-esque music at the beginning to the backgrounds to the cartoony art styles that remind me so heavily of Madoka's witch barriers. I don't wanna judge it but this anime is screaming Madoka ripoff. Well, I'll probably watch regardless.

Looks interesting...I'd hate to compare it to Madoka, but you can't deny the art style isn't somewhat similar especially at the beginning.

I like the background music already though.

Where did you find that this studio is linked to the production of this anime? I am curious.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Cool powers and art, but don't really like the characters' design. What's with the tied loli spreading her legs in the PV lol..

Your link shows this title: 幻影のメサイア BLOOD of FORTUNE
This anime's name is 幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽
Only the first two kanji are the same.... Hmm...
That said, the link of Blood of Fortune in the Studio Anima site http://www.geneino.com/ indeed shows character silhouette that look similar to what can be seen in the geneitaiyo site http://www.geneitaiyo.com/
I guess we are onto something.

as much as it hurts me to say this, things like that don't sell anymore. Unless you watch anime targeted at little girls like Jewelpet...
shame though. I could really use another anime like Cardcaptor Sakura right now.

Putting aside my total lack of desire to see guys in a show like this pretty much ever, I think it's mixing up target audiences to compare CCS or Sailor Moon to something like this or Madoka or Nanoha or various other mahou shoujo anime explicitly targeting male late night anime otaku that have come around in recent years.

Certainly Sailor Moon and CCS developed a strong adult male fanbase, but that wasn't really their goal. There are still plenty of mahou shoujo anime aimed at young girls, the traditional target audience, though outside of Precure I can't say I've watched any. I would agree there likely hasn't been anything comparable to CCS recently though. However I'd argue that the "appeals outside of young girl target audience" aspects of CCS are precisely what evolved into shows like Nanoha and Madoka.

You mean that CCS and Sailor Moon were the ones that evolved and expanded the mahou shoujo genre as well as the fanbase and that they lead an inspiration to future mahou shoujo projects from generation to generation world, depicting them in a different ranges.

I don't know what point you're trying to make or what you're attempting to "correct".

I was trying to understand what you were saying, but i got myself confused at the same time. Sorry about that.

Official website updated with studio and staff information, as well as other stuff like story introduction, character design and novel & manga to go with the show.

http://www.geneitaiyo.com/

And the studio turns out to be AIC.

It is about a group of little girls picked from 22 tribes who use the Good Tarot named "Elemental Tarot" to fight the evil side using the "Diabolical Tarot"

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?
