I sure hope it has too. I've bitten the bait, but I would really, really like to see other things of substance in it too. I won't hope too hard though, I was sort of disappointed by Eureka 7 (yeah the show everybody likes a lot, blasphemy, etc.) But I watched it through the end anyway and still think it was above average, so I'm quite sure I can watch through all of this...
I liked the touch in the trailer where they had made The Wall look like the sky, and earlier when Kirihara said something about how "it's hard to imagine what the place was like without it [the wall]". Would I be being too hopeful if we get to see insights of people regarding the effect on having The Wall/The Zone (lol) creeping into people's lives, or should I just expect lots of fun and action and leave it at that... And well, I guess I could say not all of the animation was superawesome or what, especially the bits with glowing guys rising up (was a bit tacky), but like MrProphet said it's encouraging to know that they can do it this well. At least this definitely feels like it can go much further than Ayakashi Ayashi (which I think must have been the definition of 地味 itself - not that that's necessarily a bad thing though). There's also what I said about Yutaka Nakamura, I guess... I have a feeling this really would outshadow Skullman because I think it's got a director who's more likely to attract the better animators, should they have a choice between the two. I suppose this is running for 26 episodes? Or 13? I can't remember what those rumours/spoilers/whatever for Geass said about its 2-season structure; whether there was a gap of one or two seasons in between the first and second part. And I can still view the thing, normally I get blocked by the silly DRM licenses but it worked fine this time I had said it works only in IE because I stupidly trusted the "Viewing REquirements" thing they had on teh site, which said 1. IE 5.5 and above, 2. Windows 2K or XP, 3. Flash 6 and WMP 7.1 and above, but seeing MrP got it to work in Firefox... I can't actually load the page properly in Firefox (it adamantly says "Your PC does not meet the requirements"), however when I load the .asx linked by Sonhex earlier (which is here), it loads quite fine.

Well, I'm actually able to access the file and run it, but when Media Player tries to run it, I get a message that says I can't view because it requires some stupid license or something. What the hell does that mean? It's the first time I've got something like that.
PD: when I click on "yes" for it to take me to the page where I can obtain that "license", a jap message comes up telling me there's no license (or that I've got no license--ライセンスがありません).

My guess would be 13, everything points to Geass' structure being "two tiers", or 25 episodes, of show followed by "two tiers" of another series airing and ending it with the following "second season". |

I'm also really looking forwards to this. The sweet intriguing trailers and naturally the new revelations about the staff working on it have only made me even more interested. This one's right up there with Seirei no Moribito and Claymore for my most anticipated series.
IMO, perhaps since I'm looking forwards to it so much and almost always consider 12/13 episodes too short I suspect it will be around 26. It being more clearly now (with the suddenly continuous new trailers and new magazine spreads and strategic staff announcements) a highly advertised Spring series also strengthens my expectation of this. As it as an all-original production with quite an impressive staff list I don't believe that they've gathered this much animation talent and re-united with the mad-popular Kanno (for the first time in years) for something short. I think judging from the limited information and the trailers this has all the "window-dressing" of a full season (26 episode) show, also taking into account that this appears to be a pet project of Bones'. But that's just my opinion I really hope it does, because I would love for this project to get the depth of a 26 episode run and Studio Bones' signature first-class skill at producing original material. It also seems to be broadcasting on quite a number of channels according to ANN's broadcaster list (if those are all separate stations?) so it seems to have quite the backing. Has this been reported somewhere already? Because I'm thinking along the same lines, though a tokusatsu-type show only being 13 could be tough Last edited by DangerMouse; 2007-03-02 at 21:13. |

As for Darker than BLACK, it's definitely the fill between Geass seasons, so it'll be a full length show ending in Fall. |

Reminded me of the Truman Show (Jim Carrey movie, dunno if youve seen it) where the city was basically self contained and the sky was basically the walls of the dome that surrounded it. The effect was the same. |

It works for me when I launch it using IE but not Firefox (on Windows XP).
Also the one http://douga.nifty.com/cs/story/title/21450002/1.htm from the post above also works for me, but also only when I click the link in IE. The first trailer is the new 3 minute one. I'm on WMP 11 if that helps... |

I am really surprised that none of you got it to work.
I swear, I didn't do any magic. Just opened up the page in Firefox 2.0.0.2, clicked the stream and it opened up in WinAMP automatically. No licenses, no bullshit. Quote:

Ah, that might have been it. I'm not using Firefox 2.0 (yeah yeah, I'm still sticking to 1.5.0.8 thank you very much), so that might've been the case.
But I didn't get any licenses either, though I opened it in WMP. Strange, I usually get those bloody things in so many other cases (mutter grumble) I was reminded of the Truman Show too, actually, but I didn't remember the name of the movie. The thingy from FLCL didn't occur to me but that's quite a good comparison. Except that this has more of a "shielding" aspect to it I suppose? It's actually like the inverse of the Truman Show, ironically (if I understand it correctly). There the sky inside the dome was painted so that the people inside it thought it was the real sky; here the sky outside the "dome" of the Zone is painted so that everyone else can pretend it wasn't there.

I saw this trailer at the end of code Geass Episode 18 RAW, i was curious to find out what it was, it sounds pretty cool, need another detective drama with some cool stuff in it, and as for a talking cat with a wireless brain.....SOLD. I'm easily pleased.
