Gonzo seriously :twitch: that is a first

2 Pages after a couple days, must be hawt.

You have got a tsundere, DFC, and an android(?) piloting mechs. This will be hot. Story is just a bonus for this type of show. :p

Miyu Irino it is if they want a guy voicing him.

Anyways, how long does a series gets animated after announcement for a LN company like this one?

The most recent series from MF Bunko that's airing (Asobi ni Iku yo!) was announced over a year before it started broadcast. So it may be a while.

Ho~~

Director: Yasuhito Kikuchi (Macross F director)
Animation: 8-bit (Macross F movie production)

Excellent, excellent news imo. I wanted high quality visuals and I probably won't be disappointed now.

I guess we can expect some awesome combat scenes. :)

Hopefully it doesn't have the same writer of Frontier... though at least this is already based on a novel.

Nice.... though 8-bit haven't done anything else by themselves apart from the Macross F Movie and I'm sure their budget will be a lot lower. But still positive news. I noticed the light novel sales were at a pretty high level for a series without an anime adaption, should boost this nicety when the anime comes out, even if it butchers the novels.

Actually 8-Bit studio comes from a Satelight's branch and they're famous to be talented people who worked on Noein, Sousei no Aquarion and Macross Frontier.
We could have a nice surprise since Gohands (an other young studio mainly coming from Satelight former staff) did nice animation with their first own project : Princess Lover! despite the ridiculous plot.

8-Bit is a break away of Satelight's main studio. Similar to how BONES is a break away of Sunrise. Satelight seems to really be bleeding talent lately. I wonder if they'll be around for much longer...

Noein was great. Sousei no Aquarion and MF were shit animation wise. Only a few decent episodes. It's like all of Satelights talent is going elsewhere, like Duckroll mentioned. I wonder if this new studio is any good.

Nice, looking forward to this one in the future

Well, unfortunately if you didn't like Aquarion and Macross Frontier, then you shouldn't have high hopes from this one. 8-Bit is made up of the main staffers from those afaik. Noein's main staffers went on to work on Birdy with A1, but I think most of them are freelancers.

Well that's disappointing. I'll at least give this a shot though.

Whoa seriously this was the last thing i expected to read today

I actually like macross frontier for being a macross series fan. When will this be aired?

I'm also will be waiting for this one.

I am planning to update Wikipedia...care to help me translate a few of the things in there?
