Realise that FMA is one of the major productions of next season, their budget allows them to broadcast 3-4 different trailers, also because it will be taking over Gundam 00's timeslot I believe which is as well one of the popular timeslots because it gets many viewers

I did manage to find a subbed version of the trailer, will update the first page

[wandering-dreamer]

I've heard some good things about the manga so I think I'll check this anime out. But some of those guys in the trailer kept reminding me of the Knights of Rounds from Code Geass, that'll keep throwing me off...

[Kirvee]

That fansub just made the trailer even MORE awesome!

Only a few more weeks!!! Best thing is, both this and FMA come out during the first week of Spring Break! :-).

[Kirvee]

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know of a group that'll be subbing this (a good one, that is), or any streaming site that'll be hosting both RAWs and subs?

[Aurelie]

Yuurisan-Subs are planning to, I never paid much attention to groups before, so I can't say whether they're any good or not.

[Kirvee]

They're the only ones?

They did a failtastic job with D.Gray-man, so I really don't trust them that much when it comes to proper translation....

Murf...hope it'll be up soon...

[Aurelie]

There is Atelier Thryst, who I completely forgot about. I haven't seen any of their subs, so I don't know if they're any better. Just finished watching the trailer, there wasn't much there, but their translations seemed decent enough, at the very least they made sense, which is good enough for me.

There is a chance another group will pick it up once DVDs are released, but for now I suppose they'll have to do.

[Kirvee]

Hm....

Maybe Shinsen-Subs will do it....since their DGM subs were excellent.

[Selidra]

Huh...I don't know what to think of the first episode. It's pretty, but...that's generally it.

Spoiler for Impression bahaha:

Well, Teito was a lot more serious in the anime than he was in the manga--no smiles or anything...not even at Mikage. D: The opera music was distracting at best, especially during that scene when Teito hears that necklace. They did make the sound of it a lot more pronounced than in the manga though--the headaches and all. I'd enjoy the scene more if some other bgm had been selected... Still a pretty nice scene though. The art's not bad...but...I dunno, something about it--maybe the fact that they just have tons of pose shots--*dramatic glance at the camera* and all that. Eh. The fighting scenes...aren't that engaging either. Blue sparkles galore~

The opening sequence had a ton of scenes (I thought it was pretty awesome), and I guess the music was slightly...suitable? Ehhh...

At least they kept to the general storyline. It ends with Teito escaping the academy~

Ah, well--I'll keep watching.

[-KarumA-]

lol I didn't know what to think either, I think it was good overall but like you mentioned

Spoiler for music:

the music is pretty overwhelming at some parts and more smiles would've been nice XD

I'm surely getting my hands ont eh soundtrack when it comes out

[Kirvee]

I love it so far.

The art is gorgeous, the opening music is awesome, and Teito's eyes are just as pretty in the anime as they are in the manga, XD.

I can't wait for Frau next episode*sqwee*!

Shouldn't this topic be in "Current" now?

[-KarumA-]

because episode 1 has begun releasing its RAWs today there still aren't any subs out, when there are this will probably be moved to the current section

edit: I mean fansub section
the show isn't as mass scaled in popularity as FMA and the other shows listed there

[Kaoru Chujo]

I like.

Spoiler for ep1:

Personally, I thought the over-the-top music worked very well, and I also enjoyed the over-the-top emotions. Teito as spitting wombat was amazing. It's kind of refreshing to see them taking the story so straight. The sworn brotherhood was good, too. And the complex but extreme villain.

[Starry Dust]

I've been having interests in this show and by the sound of it, it's really good?
I want to read the manga first though.
I don't always trust the anime lol xD

The only thing I saw so far was the trailer.

EDIT: Just read the first chapter and watched the first episode. I have to say I like the anime more when it comes to transition. It felt like the manga just kept skipping scenes outta nowhere & I was lost half the time. Luckily the anime cleared that up plus watching the action was sweet.

I kinda like this series. I'll still continue with the manga though just in case :]

I've been reading blog commentaries everywhere on 07-Ghost, and I'm amused by how swiftly people (especially those who aren't familiar with the series) are latching onto the assumption that this series is a BL/shounen-ai, when there's absolutely nothing of the sort in the entire manga series. Those who are accustomed to mundane flat development given to generic harem leads might find themselves surprised, if not unsettled, with the way 07-Ghost dives deep into the relationships shared between the main cast, where the men are, at the very least, more dynamic, and vastly more entertaining. (Just recently, I got into a heated discussion with someone who was insistent on labeling this as shounen-ai, and the biggest irony is that he's an anti-BL fan with no clue about the series, and I'm particularly well-versed in the realm of shounen-ai. Times have indeed changed.)

The first episode was decent, even if there were a few quirks in the animation that had me raising an eyebrow for a while. It's nothing major though, and as a longtime fan of the series, I do look forward to future improvements in the long run.

Spoiler for Mikage:

Mikage's friendship with Teito is really emphasized here, although not as much as in the manga. He is by no means my favourite character (he's actually my least) but I do admit that he holds an important position as Teito's first friend, and this friendship will play an important role later on.

[Ruby-Moon]

if a story like 07-Ghost must now be categorized under shounen-ai, then there's a TON of series out there that also need to change their category. ^^

When I read the manga I saw some shonen-ai undertones but nothing major. More like, the story is ambiguous enough that some fans ship this pairing, some fans will ship this other pairing. Maybe it's just because the entire main cast is guys that it gets this distinction (seriously, the only reoccurring girl in this series that I can think of is that

Spoiler for um, maybe a spoiler? The character should be introduced quickly:

cute mermaid).
