| This looks great! Can't wait to watch it. |
| Yeah... I don’t know. Will probably be a mess, still will check it out. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong |
| Same as with the last batch of info - everything looks great, aside from the author of Re:Zero being involved. Shame. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| This is Tappei's second non-rezero project over the past year, is he really serious about getting involved in creating original shows? And it again has a female protagonist.

Your gratuitous hate against Rezero's might have looked more serious if you weren't a Symphogay and Konosuba fan, lol. |
 |
| The premise and plot sounds interesting, the show looks good and the staff is overall quite solid, just not really sure about the director as I haven't heard good things about Hanebado. Anyway, looking forward to this! |
| Hanebado looked really good but man was it bad. Not totally convinced by the director. |

Anyway, looking forward to this! Hanebado was a pretty good sports show, the main problem was controversial decisions for adaptation due to the fact that the manga drastically changed its style at some point. |
|
| The plot sounds like a mess, but let´s wait and hope. I don´t really care about Wit being the studio, but at least the animation looks more on their good side. |
| I don't know... these type of sci-fi series usually end up being a disappointment. Production wise, it looks alright (just fine, not outstanding). Character designs (for animation) look meh though. |

 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| im gonna watch this one then since its only 1 cour |
| Another anime by Wit, that's great. |
 |
| I'm not really a fan of these type of anime but will check it out since it's by Wit. |
| now that we've gotten a PV and more of a synopsis, I'm a little more cautiously optimistic about it. It could be great, or it could be a hot mess with it's sci-fi plot and only being 13 episodes. can trust that the production quality will be good w/ WIT at the helm, but if the writing and story isn't good, then that won't matter. I thought this was gonna be another Netflix jailed anime, but Netflix isn't mentioned in the article... |
