I think only the prologue chapter is out but it showed alot of promise. The trailer does look badass though and the girls look extremely cute. I'm a sucker for fantasy females/knights too. Looks promising, hope the manga gets scanlated too.

Definitely different from the usual stuff Manglobe though and it's interesting to see something like this with high production values.. though I have to say having the director of Dragonauts and the series writer of Shuffle is a bit of a downer. Oh yeah I bet Aria will be my fav.... let's see if that feeling ends up being true...

This could also apply to any series regardless of who’s directing. Only when creativity is injected can you really see their talents. lol, growing more cynical as I get older, even I’m starting to believe any quack of a director on a kyoani project can score big.

Yeah kinda rolled my eyes when I saw the katana they really can't help themselves same goes to that movie First Squad. Don't get me wrong I like the Katana but it's been overused in series and I don't see it's needed in this medieval series setting same goes to First Squad which is set in Russia and yet the lead girl has a katana.

I know the concern of throwing a katana into the whole medieval european fantasy setting. I for one, never liked the whole 'glorifying katana' picture and thought european styled swords are better in some areas and are more diversed. Some medieval swords are even equal to a katana in the field of cutting and sharpness. Still a katana is a pretty dang good sword.
But let's not forget the show's trademarks: it's fantasy and morever it's made in Japan. Of course they're gonna throw some of their culture around. |
