i mean, it is by the aldnoah zero studio, directed by the guy whose works include aldnoah.zero, fate/zero, ga-rei zero, and for some reason girls bravo

and well, inevitably, this show is going to draw comparison to Concrete Revolutio, a show that almost had too MUCH depth and struggled to actually present it a little. on a surface level in terms of the action presented, it's the same premise, in that the action has members from a ton of different genres instead of just one. But where Revolutio primarily drew them from the now esotericism of the classics (there's an Ultraman, there's a cross between Tetsujin and Super Sentai, the cyborg cop and Jaguar...okay i'm bad at the classics but I know these concepts are older), and additionally filtered it through a pulpy 80s comic book conspiracy setting, Re:Creators has its entries more derived from the current fare and so doesn't look all that special on the surface. I'm not seeing as much of Aldnoah's 'THIS WILL BE THE ANIME OF THE YEAR' sorta marketing going on but eh

By that logic, Concrete Revolutio was by the director of the first Full Metal Alchemist anime which also wasn't that great in retrospect. Also as an aside there was nothing 80s about ConRevo, it was explicitly set in the 60s to 70s.

That PV has no new visuals, but don't forget to watch (the last episode of) koyomimonogatari

Watch the rest of it, also. It's fun.

I hope all the characters are in robot mode as much as possible, I hated how the humans moved in Bubuki.

The first season was just the OVAs chopped into episodes, right?

You're thinking of Unicorn. The first season of Thunderbolt was 4 OVAs that were later made into a movie. This is season 2 of the OVAs.

a lot of the dubs people are listing as good itt just copy the voice direction from the original performance. so i mean, it's not like you'd necessarily get an inferior experience. but at that point it kinda makes me question what worth the dub has, as a person who is not incapable of reading subtitles.

Yeah this is how I feel about it too. At best, you get something as good as the original, and often you get something worse. What's the point?

I feel very similarly about IBO S1 and S2. I started with high hopes for both and was let down both times.
