The animation looks really good!

sayde · 2013-09-18, 22:13

AWWWW YEAH!!!!!!

As long as the animation is good and the action and feats Bayonetta pulls off are as over the top as it is in the game, this will be a winner for me. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be as lackluster as the DMC anime. And it would be nice if this could eventually get dubbed in english using Bayonetta's original voice over.

Don't let me down Gonzo.

Nachtwandler · 2013-09-19, 00:06

Accordind to ANN it starts in November. I wonder how long we'll wait for BDs this time?

serenade_beta · 2013-09-19, 00:07

Kirihara_R · 2013-09-19, 04:34

Kanon · 2013-09-19, 07:26

I hope they will focus on what matters: the crazy over-the-top action. To hell with plot!

Considering this is from the director of afro samurai I think that's pretty much a given.

MrTerrorist · 2013-09-19, 10:11

Here's hoping Hellena Taylor returns to dub as Bayonetta.

neshru · 2013-09-19, 10:14

lol Gonzo.
Well, the trailer doesn't actually look bad, but I wonder about the whole movie.

Rogue66 · 2013-09-19, 12:39

Looks interesting just have to see how they do it.
Just have to hope they do it right.

Helius · 2013-09-20, 08:46

The art style reminds me of Madhouse a la Hellsing rather than Gonzo...

Still, since not many people have much faith in Gonzo nowadays, hopefully this film will turn things around and bring the studio back to the anime powerhouse it once was.

I wouldn't call them a Powerhouse back in the day but they did do a lot of interesting stuff. They tended to crash and burn quite a bit on the endings though.

Still interested in seeing this. Gonzo needs a break. They may have been rather quirky but I always enjoyed their older shows.

Btw how close is current Gonzo to old Gonzo? Anyone stayed behind or have all the important names moved on?

RobotCat · 2013-09-22, 14:02

Gonzo adaptations were kind of bad (mostly because of the original endings). They were at their best when they did really experimental stuff. Of course, they're terrible with budgets too so you end up with some really strong first and last episodes but QUALITY in the middle of the series. Think they're better suited to doing 1 cour shows.

-reads gonzo-

Yep, gonna be Baaaad XD they are gonna milk the fanservice off the charts. the game will seem tame. Also the game didn't do so well as to earn a movie. Hope they are ready for a bunch of pirating.

To be fair, Gonzo's work for Afro Samurai looked outright gorgeous and showcased one of their best efforts at that time. As long they keep up the lavish action scenes and keep the plot simple, it should be alright.
