Anyone else really hyped for this mostly because of the VAs?

Ai Kayano's voice is rapidly climbing the charts for me. Previous season(s) Isana, Hibino, and Ayaka are all excellent characters, but something about her voice intrinsically just clicks with me. Last VA I found such resonance is from Megumi Hayashibara. I'm so glad this season I have 4 shows that coincide with her work.

Yuuki Kaji is also the same way for me, he and Yoshimasa Hosoya don't really display huge vocal talents (epic Cheerio aside) but just sounds nice to hear them.

I rewatched the PV2 a bunch of times just to hear the voices again. Sure there epic music, sexy characters, and sweet mecha/weaponry, but I find the voices just really pleasant.

Originally when news of this series first came out months ago I wasn't really interested in it's premise so I shelved it aside. Three months later I couldn't step anywhere without running into something Guilty Crown related; Eventually I gave in to the hype and what do you know, the PV won me over in less than 2 minutes and some how the synopsis magically became infinitely more appealing.

That said, I'm still very wary about how this might go, these kind of story trend the fine line between epicosity and wreck. For better or worse, I can see the handiwork of the scriptwriter for Code Geass and Macross... What with the whole Mecha, highschool, Songstress, rebels, and Power of the Kings going on... I'll be disappointed if there isn't a triangle romance snug in somewhere... Though I'm not looking forward for the one dramatic death of a popular character

In summary; highly anticipated but extremely cautious- I expect to have an hectic first episode before everything starts to setting in by the third... It doesn't help that it's airing 1 week later from the rest of the season.

While I'm hyped for this show for so many different reasons (this new key visual being one of them, clearly all that comes to mind is かっけー!!!), I have to admit that Kayano Ai playing Inori is a huge plus. She's easily the seiyuu of this year for me - she made a very strong first impression as Isana, and her Hibino performance will never cease to wow me. I'm definitely glad she keeps getting a steady amount of work, and I can't picture myself feeling Kayano burnout anytime soon.

The main girl reminds me of Yuno from mirai nikki. I just realize that from that picture.

*Raises hand* Well, I'm hyped over practically everything about this show so the voice cast definitely has my attention as well. I'm liking Ai Kayano's voice the more I hear of her, with her role as Hibino in Kamisama Dolls being one of my favourites so far. The cast member that has my attention the most at the moment is Yuki Kaji. I've always liked his voice since Yozakura Quartet's Akina which made me so glad to find him in so many shows this year and possibly the next.

Take a look at my avatar for a second and you can guess which VA I'm fanboying over right now lol.

I wouldn't say that it's the biggest draw fro me to the show (ryo+redjuice+supercell+Tetsuro is really where it got my attention) but having Ai Kayano and HanaKana in the same show is absolutely a positive for me.

Not sure about Yuuki Kaji tho ...

Guardian Enzo · 2011-09-22, 12:06

I'm looking forward to this, but it's fascinating how the hype for GC is dwarfing that for UN-GO, which I fully expect based on the staff to be the better series.

Arabesque · 2011-09-22, 12:10

It can't be helped, the hooks for GC are simply shinier ... and has less clothe

Besides, it goes without saying which shows more promise to be more competent (UN-GO).

As of the second PV, I can't say Kayano Ai and Kaji Yuuki that caught my attention.

Rather, Nakamura Yuuichi's lines (especially one near the end) really struck me as powerful. Maybe it's just the placement or the overall composition of the PV, but now I am really looking forward to his performance.

I'm looking forward to this cause it looks interesting on all fronts up and down the board. The visuals look great, the characters sound interesting and are well designed, the setting looks interesting, the plot sounds interesting, and Sawano is scoring the soundtrack. There's literally nothing not going for this show right now, they've covered all the bases of drawing an audience so of course it's going to receive a lot of hype.

This is entirely subjective. I liked both Code Geass and Death Note more than FMA, Gundam 00, and definitely Ayakashi Ayashi.

MagicaLideaL · 2011-09-23, 13:33

If a show could make someone like me who does not have any interest in mecha to still be so absorbed into it like Code Geass, it is definitely a good show.

RDF2050 · 2011-09-23, 14:33

Code Geass hype mode? anyone?

I am looking forward to this. Hope it is as good as code geass was for me.

It's also 2-cours
