RE:Creators because for Aldnoah's faults, there was still talent involved and I think the studio definitely has it in them to make something rad. also giant robots

ID:0 because even though y'all are down on CG, I mean. Sidonia turned out great, Bubuki turned out great, this is probably animated by the same people? And it has the heads of Gundam 00 and Code Geass involved, and also it has this utterly WEIRD marketing that signifies there's something funky going on so that might be cool. also giant robots

Twin Angel Break is my 'why not try a magical girl thing' this time i guess

Warau Salesman has a neat premise and that particular brand of artstyle so count me in

i'll also consider Atom, Alice, Clockwork Planet, and Sin because why not

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

i think what they're trying to get at is, it might present itself like it's The Next Big Thing, and that it's a masterpiece in writing and presentation, when really it's pretty ordinary and shallow. i think Aldnoah was a little bit that? like it sort of showed us a pretty mundane and sorta flawed yet enjoyable thing with robots, but it was kind of a blowhard about it with its super dramatic soundtrack and Ominous Taglines and a huge marketing multimedia presence

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

i might sound like I'm cynical but it's still one of the shows I'm most on board for, because despite all that I still think Troyca has a lot of potential, and they obviously put a lot of goddamn effort into their other two productions, their One Problem is so far a lack of really solid, thoughtful writers

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's what i meant but i'm bad at decades. and what i was getting at is that that's almost EVERYTHING that director and studio have done. Troyca was founded specifically for Aldnoah and their only other thing was that Sakurako show, the writer has pretty much only done Black Lagoon and like...Gunparade March??? And the only show of the director's I left out was Wandering Son which was...wait holy crap how did I not know about this show before, one that looks like it might actually be insightful about actual transgenderism in Japan? ...and...written by Mari Okada? okay I don't know how to feel about that.

basically these people are hella unpredictable because their portfolios are short and yet all over the place, so it's understandable to not know what the hell this might be

Sword rifle violin girl could definitely afford to have a bit more fun poked at her. I'd hate to think that the show wanted us to take her pseudophilosophical waffle seriously.

i don't think she'll actually be the main antagonist just because she's clearly a stupendously chuuni anime antagonist. she'll be a jerk for a while, but the real conflict is likely to be 'okay but why are all these animes showing up in reality, what rear end in a top hat is pulling this poo poo', and then she will be helpful and the joke will be 'yes i'm glad you have such convoluted opinions about the rivers of time but i need to know what you want on your sandwich'

there's some production art of her making faces that aren't just smug and also not in a hat which are signs that she might end up interacting with people in a normal fashion

Wait, what was the lesson? If you like it and it's good, :justpost:

the show is basically another thing in the vein of Queen's Blade and like, Valkyrie Drive, basically porn but with an elaborate anime action plot

those shows never make for good posts

(sadly it also doesn't seem to have the best production value? VD had a weirdly high budget for what it was but this thing looks cheaply made, and it isn't really fun and flashy enough to make up for it yet, pretty likely to give this one up if it just ends up being boring)

the word 'moe' is the anime equivalent of 'cinematic' for video games, it stopped meaning anything anyone can agree upon years ago and is now used as a byword for whatever you want it to be
