The box cover reminded me of how much I like the Nezumi's hair. I wanted to see more of this boy. He didn't grow well enough in my heart. Also lovely seeing Umehara on stage.

No one has watched it yet, but I am still allowed to make judgments based on what I see and have experienced in the past. Feel free to disagree with me, but the battle royale genre for me is mostly trash. Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night, Eden of the East, Akuma no Riddle, etc. I have a bad history with the genre, so I can't help but find this in distaste.

As for designs, it matters largely. It affects how much I can get out of the series. There are a lot more compact designs that you could go with, but they fall back on this. The color palette also feel a little uncomfortable for me. All of this reminds me of the recent Arslan Senki adaptation, which coincidentally was also worked upon by the same studio. I felt that their presentation of the series made a lot of things underwhelming. Feel free to disagree with any of this, I am not looking to reach an agreement but rather explain where I'm coming from.

Anyway, this feels like a good place to drop this conversation. I don't want anything to get out of hand.



Yeah, but you're basically saying "this LOOKS generic, there for it IS generic" I just don't like it when people shit on something they've never watched. You're past experiences don't apply just because it's in a similar genre to stuff you've watched. This could be different, but you don't acknowledge that and continue to think it'll DEFINITELY be trash.


I doubt things will actually be different, but again you're free to disagree. And no, you are misrepresenting what I said and meant. Everything about it looks pretty painfully generic to me, and I don't want to waste my time with another series like that so I'm inclined to pass it. And I never judged the series beyond the few details I saw on it, and I already acknowledged that earlier. Anyway, good day to you sir, I can't feel bothered with prolonging this.

nah dude, I was looking at it based on what I got out of it. I mean sure, you might think that I'm just judging too early or that what I find generic might not quite be the case for you, but to me this looks like a generic battle royale series like any other, and we already got enough of those.

You're basing that judgement on basically nothing, but ok.

This looks interesting but I hope this was not mean we will 12 episode..

It's announced that the first 12 ep will be airing this year and it's implied that we'll be getting at least more than that. Might be a split-cour in the making.

Thanks for making me HYPE! Hehe, can't wait to see something like this.

Considering it's NisiOisiN, I expect 90% talking, 10% fighting. Not that this is a bad thing. Katanagatari was great after all.
Nice cast of voice actors, btw.

Well if it is going to be like NisiOisiN's anime with heavy dialogue, then...

Uuma: Hikaru Midorikawa (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka)

This guy better have a lot of lines. I haven't heard from him in anime for a while, so I hope he still has that sexy voice of his.
Curiously, he voiced Hakuhei Sabi in Katanagatari. Hopefully, his character will have more luck this time...

And is there a shortage of voice actresses or something? Because Yoko Hikasa has had at least one role in every season this year (A total of 11 according to Wikipedia). She better get an award or something for all the work she's doing because her resume is building up like crazy.

I find this delicious in many ways. Teaser PV so perfect I want more.
Everyone has detailed bio Usagi 0 is known about him. I'm dying. What is he.

Jun 12, 2017 1:26 PM by Shadow-Chan

Character designs look weird. Going to give it a shot I guess. Hope to see an animated PV soon.

Saori Hayami - I'm certainly totally agree, but it seems to me that for such an experienced and popular seiyuu, she somehow too easily agrees to new roles.

I love Nisio Isin and don't like seeing his work reduced down to sex drive.


umm... did you forget about that certain nisio work that contains nothing but fap material?



Right, but the fan service all serves a purpose beyond just being erotic.

I've written a lot about it, but anymore I usually just point people over yonder: http://wrongeverytime.com/2013/04/14/nisemonogatari-and-the-nature-of-fanservice/

Or yonder: http://surprisinglycomplex.blogspot.com/2013/06/nisemonogatari-to-be-fake.html

Or yonder: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/18p3lt/nisemonogatari_and_the_nature_of_fanservice/

Don't read all that lol but my point is, it's there for a reason.
