Interesting. Although the title isn't very cool.

So what happened to his upcoming work with Quartz by GONZO, it's the only thing that concerns me, surprised it got cancelled (not sure).

That said, I'm quite satisfied to see more superhero-themed series since Japan loves to do that lately thanks to Samurai Flamenco (even though it flopped financially) and we even got 2 this season.

Honestly, I didn't think Deen is nearly as bad as some people believe. They did made some below average shows but also some good ones before and after even if their production values weren't exactly spectacular and did tone down the content when it comes to adaptation, but then I couldn't care less about the studio as much as the staff in itself.

I'll still look forward to it since I did hear about the project just about yesterday, we'll see how they will do it.

Sankarea have been one of the surprisingly good productions by Deen. I cant recall much after that tho.

kuromitsu · 2015-10-31, 04:28

Like any studio, Deen needs a good budget to be able to do good animation. Since this seems to be a kind of prestige project I don't think they'll skimp out on that...

I'm not really interested in superheroes for superheroes' sake, so I'm neutral on this. I'll check out the actual trailer when it's released.

Damnit, I wanted more Heroman ;-;

Kanon · 2015-10-31, 11:38

This looks pretty cool. Didn't expect DEEN on such a project though.

Well, Deen did made a few originals in the past, so when I first heard of it, its source didn't surprise me.

Same

...

But at least this looks like it has the potential to be cool and fun as well, even if Deen isn't necessarily the most inspiring of Studios to handle a project like this, so I'll be looking forward to more info about it

.

And of course Stan Lee would also be in the cast

Loved the music and aesthetic of that PV. Definitely holding high expectations here.

Faux Mecha · 2016-11-02, 02:48

why does the flying guy reminded me of Sky High from Tiger & Bunny? not to be confused with a title of a movie about a super hero school.

More characters revealed.

I can barely tell the difference between these girls.

In typical Stan Lee fashion, he's inserted himself as a character. Just like with Ultimo, he'sthe main villain.
