TRAILER IS HERE!

You have officially won the internets. ^_^

Looking at this in motion it's even more like PPG (a bit more detailed, maybe). And the lowbrow humor looks like it won't be limited to the sexual/violent level we've already seen in the promo art (exploding toilets? heroines covered in [expletive deleted]?). A US license is pretty much guaranteed. [adult swim] is probably pencilling it into their schedule as we speak... And in this case I think that might be a good thing.

But seriously, the more I see of this show the more I know I'm gonna love it. Bring it on, Gainax!

And if he's a self-hating dog/doll/whatever, the similarily will be complete...

What do you expect? They're 4channers.

[Trogdor Jube]

I'm going to love this and there's nothing anyone can say that will prove otherwise
Unless it's complete ass.

Well, I'm glad some of you enjoy the trailer and the look of the series. Personally, I'm still kinda cold on it. I think it looks kinda dumb (I'm not a fan of Dead Leaves either), and the Flash animation style art doesn't really appeal to me.

Anyway... there's some interesting news about the series. It seems that while the series will have 13 weeks of air time, there will actually be 26 episodes in total. Newtype has episode listings for the first 4 episodes (with different titles and staff credits for each), and they make up the first 2 airing slots. Think of it as FMP Fumoffu, where they're going for shorter episodes for more variety.

After reading about this, I think I will try to be more open minded about it, because it could be pretty funny if they don't have to stretch each gag story to a full 20 minutes.

Awesomgasm! So much to do now! Gotta cap it, gif it and pitch the manga scanlation!

[Nayim]

The show remind me FLCL (Fooly Cooly)

How am I supposed to read the staff listings, anyway?

Director -> Storyboard -> AD?

The guy posting doesn't make it clear at all, especially when only 2 names are given (which means combined credits). It takes some educated guessing, but the order is Script -> Storyboard -> Director -> AD.

For example in the first episode, Imaishi is likely credited for Script/Storyboard/EpisodeDirector, while Nishigori is credited for AD. For episode 2, I would guess it's either Imaishi for Script/Storyboard, and Otsuka for ED, and Sushio for AD, or it's Imaishi for Script, Otsuka for Storyboard/ED, and Sushio for AD.

Are we fast ?

[Suzuku]

Yep, this looks very stylish. I felt like I was watching an animated American comic book while watching the trailer. Can't wait to watch this.

[konart]

Spoiler for Kamina's property:

He had her long before Gainax.

[solomon]

Well that was........something.

This will likely depend on the humor on wither it sells me or not.

Friggin A for effort on part of Gainax though, always doing something crazy cool as far as visuals.

(But why is something like this on in the middle of the night, it looks straight nickelodeon, could make HUGE money on goods sales, the designs SCREAM for it)

[Suzuku]

Hardly the first show to do segmented episodes. It'll still run for one cour, but again, the number of episodes a series has is largely unimportant compared to what it does with those episodes.

Hee Heee... I bet we can spot a lot of Gurren Lagann homages in this one. Especially Garterbelt looking so much like lord Genome.

That's another thing particularly reminiscent of American cartoons, come to think of it. The whole double feature thing.

[Suzuku]

Yeah, this is much more reminiscent to western style cartoons than anime.
