Lol for a second I thought I was watching some beyblade trailer because of their hair and ending dialogue is also pretty funny.
Well casts looks somewhat good I guess

Tbh...I think if they nail the animation, the character design won't be "THAT" big of a problem and in fact if executed properly it would even add up to the anime's aesthetics...the plot in itself seems good enough for me to enjoy this...let's see!...how's this gonna end up

Looked interesting, but ugh the character design is atrocious

Realistic historical/medieval setting + unrealistic hair-coloured characters is an absolute no

Did Geno Studio really drop Golden Kamuy just to work on...that.

For some reason it looks more like an adaptation of a modern Shonen Jump manga than some original show.

I was interested in the poster art but the anime look took away the badass look of the main character. Also, Amazon Prime? Ew

its true that I liked the PV character design better than what we saw in the video, but I actually dont think theyre badly designed, I just think its less serious and maybe thats what people were looking for. Creator of Shaman King designed them, as we can clearly see, saw not surprised.

The synopsis sounds interesting but the character designs make me wonder whether this will just be your run of the mill shounen series. Was hoping for something with a more gritty and realistic aesthetic.

Torn. Not warded off, not enticed. Designs and story aren't bad, but most of the staff are. I'll wait a while on this.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

searching properly thus far however there may be no devoted motion animation director for a think motion show.
