Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo (old generic discussion thread)
 

I searched the forum and i found out animesuki doesn't have this thread yet!

Click here for official website.

With the teal-haired girl who had cat ears underneath her hat. I thought I was getting Jingai Makyou anime for a sec.

looks cute!

Sunrise will be doing this project!

In case you don't know who is Sunrise..Their old projects are Code Gaess, Gundam 00

I had the same thought at first!

Is this going to be a series ot an OVA? It really doesn't matter since the My-HiME/Otome crew are working on it.

Looks interesting, definitely keeping track of it.

Very nice character design.

If only ;_;

Looks like a pretty sexy series. Might check it out.

Saw the 15 sec promo posted on the Otaku News Notes blog.



Looking alright, anyone know the VA cast?

Ohh, the teaser looks really interesting.

Sunrise eh?

I can expect quality ^^'

The girl with the green hair sounds kinda like Aya Endo.

I really like the character designs :)

I don't know how you could grab anything from that trailer. All I got was "Whoooooo Colony and holy crap we're going down to earth the end". Although I have to say one thing, I KNEW IT! I knew they'd through mecha in there. I guarantee that if you locked the Hajime Yatate team in a room for 24 hours and told them to come up with a new franchise that doesn't involve mecha of any kind then by the end of the first hour they'd start going into involuntary convulsions and when you came back 24 hours later they'd all have committed suicide and left a note saying that they couldn't handle the pressure.

As for the guy who asked about casting, I don't know for sure but I'd bank on top calibre seiyuu. Expect the likes of Yukana, Yukari Tamura, Ami Koshimizu, Mai Nakahara, Rie Kugimiya etc. at the very least.

I've checked the site ever since this thread was created I have been most interested in Takane Shishido. Her Wa Lolita(Kimono + Lolita) style is one of my favourite styles ever.

The PV reminds me of Xenoglossia :heh:

From just this, it seems like this anime could turn out either interesting or painful (as in, the actions/attitudes of the characters, of course, just to make sure). For now, the voices and what ever they were doing is leaning on the painful side... 痛い痛い...

While I pretty much agree with everything you say from what I've seen so far of this show (I've actually commented earlier that I was weary of these shows in the same vain as Mai Hime), I think it's also important to keep in mind that this is coming from the studio/creative team that's famous for pulling the rug out from under everybody and turning series that look forgettable at first into popular and well received franchises by the end of their run.

Yeah I was thinking that too, was hoping for a casting list though.

And that is not enough to say "interesting?" :p

Plus the other thing you noted, mechas!

It's going down the cute girls + mechas route all over again ^^'

As long as it doesn't try to be something it isn't (lets say trying to turn a fun premise into a seriously angsty one) I think it should work out fine.

It was sort of obvious that this series would contain some relation to "mecha" though if you'd looked at the character designs or any of the promotional graphics...

I think her outfit/attire and hair dress scream mecha o= ... I mean the way her vest holds up her breasts like that... and the title also does happen to be "Girl Who Lept Through Space"

Either that or segragation by gender.

Sunrise Mecha Assignment Boss: "Okay as you may already know only manly men can pilot our top class units like Gundams and Knightmare Frames and the girls will just have to accept space pods, familiar mecha or punching machines UNLESS they agree to 2 of the following terms:

1. The Gundam/Knightmare frame must be pink or red. Purple is acceptable but will have to be taken up with my overhead.

2. If not 1 then the Gundam/Knightmare Frame must have something girlish about it such as long hair a skirt or ribbons for example.

3. They must wear a formfitting outfit that serves no practical purpose other than to accentuate their curves.

4. As an incentive the cockpit should have them facing forward instead of sitting upright. This may be negotiated on a by contract basis.

5. It is not of a unique design.

Any questions?"

Girls: "Can we wear something other than a skintight pilot outfit?"

Sunrise Mecha Assignment Boss: "NOT ON MY WATCH YOU CAN'T!"

Girls: "awwwwwwwwwwwwww.... :sad: "

Apparently they're getting ALI PROJECT to do the OP theme song.
