Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Cast announced :
Mai Kadowaki, Eri Kitamura, Sora Tokui, Yuiko Tatsumi

This looks awesome and the PV as well, and the music makes me already tell it's gonna be my favorite composer named Tatsuya Katou who will do the music. Still, I need to see more info around March 30.

Remember when people were talking about how some new shows are going to come that will try to be like Madoka Magica,just like it happened with Evangelion?Gentleman I believe this is that show.

[Midonin]

I have no real idea what I'm looking at, other than some sort of vaguely Alice in Wonderland-ish magical girl show. (Which, I now realize, could apply to a lot of magical girl shows.)

That combination of words is all I need to keep a tentative eye on this.

Looks interesting. Hope it won't turn like Symphogear

I personally liked Symphogear thanks to the great concept, even though the story writting and characters are subpar. Still, I will look forward to any new magical girl as long as it shares some Madoka Magica traits and this one looks very promising and once it starts, it'll stay that way.

PS : Before seeing this announcement, I saw some characters that looks like these and appeared in a cancelled project from last year called Gekkou no Messiah -Blood of Fortune- and it looks like it might be it.

[Tyabann]

This actually looks really cool.
Which, of course, means that it will probably be shit.

[Eijigawa]

The animated PV~

Fukken awesome! Reminds me of Touhou for some reason though.

Really interesting concept of Symphogear was ruined by the bad script. They could make good sci-fi macho-shounen story like Nanoha if they'd leave the dark tones in the story but they turned it in the generic shounen in the end

I wonder why they have two sites for the show:

It's not unusual for a newly-announced anime project to open a official countdown website before switching to a official anime website with a new name, and I guess Aniplex like to practice this trend.

My first impression from seeing the pictures in the OP was actually Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi, from seeing the color palette and imagery. I wouldn't be surprised if this was trying to cash in Madoka Magica's success, though.

I really don't like the art style of this anime, with all the lanky monkey bodies. It's jarring and un-moe.

[tsunade666]

watching the pv it reminds me of nippon ichi games that I played. The card show with a bit bizarre setting might reminds the others of madoka but I didn't get that impression on it. It reminds me of a typical mahou shoujo setting but has dark undertones which was madoka is known for but really. Saying that its just riding the fame of madoka isn't really nice since we are having mahou shoujo shows that had dark undertones since years 90's

[Nachtwandler]

Yeah. But they are more rare than typical mahou-shoujo shows

that's true. Since mahou shoujo type of shows tends to be for kids. But saying that a show that has dark undertones with a mahou shoujo theme is like a copy of madoka is being unfair to the creators of that show. It just happen that Madoka turned famous. If it didn't, then it wouldn't be used as a measuring stick.

For small girls and old otakus more precisely )))

Just look at the goddamn art style ,music choices and tone of trailer.That is what primarily made me think of Madoka Magica and yes there have been some mahou shojo anime that were dark,but PMMM had a unique aesthetic that separated it from others.We still dont know what this show is about,but from what we can see aesthetically it looks a lot like PMMM.

Not at all. The designs are a lot more cartoonish than that, and because of this it feels to me like it's going to lack the oppressive atmosphere Madoka had.
Please stop trying to turn Madoka into the next Evangelion.

[Reckoner]

Next Madoka wannabe. Character designs and art look awful. Also, the voice acting sounds like nails on a chalk board. All we need is an uninspired team at A-1 propped up by Aniplex here and we will get a good trainwreck in action.

Actually they look the exact opposite of that.
