Tiger & Bunny started off with very little attention being paid it's way here on AS compared to right now and took a couple months (till about late May) to build a sizeable audience (I'd argue it was the Dragon Kid episode that finally drew a stable audience here ) through word of mouth so maybe this show will need to manage the same. That's just kind of what it's like when you try something a little less common in the anime world. edit: Oh and it's probably the character designs more than anything that are working against the show. I personally have no problem with them, but they are pretty uncommon and different looking and that's probably a turn off for many. |

ANN posted some additional info on the show. They even translated the trailer.

Video dump:
- the opening is already available (both the song and the animation, though you get to hear May'n introduce the song after the introduction). I like what I'm hearing, as expected of May'n! - Youtube has really interesting interviews from a NHK show with Fukuyama Jun and Morikawa Toshiyuki (part 1, 2, 3) who have roles in the anime. The videos show some animation not featured in the trailers, but may also be of interest to anyone who's curious about the production aspects of anime and whatnot - you get to see part of the recording process and how the director & sound director may play a part in it. ... and with all of this, I am more intrigued than ever. Even though I've learned not to expect much from NHK shows anymore, this might just turn out to be quite fun?

I'm now definitely gonna watch this, mainly because FukuJun's role is a little different from his usual and yet somehow similar. Gonna be fun to see him pull off his high tension/crazy voices as someone with Gamon's build.
... Oh right, I'm also in it for some potentially nice puzzles. |

I do like puzzle-type anime. Kinda similar concept to stuff like Liar Game and Akagi/Kaiji. As long as the puzzles are complex enough and the competition interesting enough, I'll most likely watch this.
edit: (O.O ) Okay I just watched the trailer. I'll DEF be checking this out =03. The music and animation easily pulled me in. The char art reminds me of Tweety Witches/Mahou Shoujo Arisu. |

However, the comparison to Kaiji might come as a negative note, since like Kaiji, I'm not that interested with the premise.

Awesome OP and OST
But what is even better - the shonen hero finally obtained a deviсe to use his brain. Been waiting for this for the last 10 years I guess.

It was interesting enough for me to watch another ep for now. So is that bracelet the phi brain. More interested in knowing more about this contract that even Einstein couldn't complete. It looks like minotaur is the president of the puzzle club. Surprised to see that this was listed as 25 eps on MAL.

Yes!! With my Mary Sue intellect and withholding information from the watcher by flashing it for a split second!
All and all, I enjoyed the first episode a lot, save for the character designs. I'll probably keep watching for now. The only thing I have to ask is, who the hell has this sort of time to create all that crap just so it can collapse in a second?
