Potential candidates for mecha designer:
Akira Yasuda - Well known mecha designer, but also well known for illustrations and original character designs. Does designs for Capcom fighting games, as well as original character designer on Turn-A Gundam, and original animation character designer on Bodacious Space Pirates. He does not do clean animation character designs, so he fits. Yutaka Izubuchi - Well known mecha designer. Also known for conceptual design on uniforms and outfits, and creature designs. He doesn't generally do actual character designs, but he is credited for the original character designs of Lodoss War, probably because he did the novel illustrations. Humikane Shimada - Known for his work on Strike Witches and Sky Girls, but not really a prolific mecha designer in general. He definitely qualifies, but it depends on the sort of design direction this show is going for. |

Okama is an interesting option, but it would be a case of someone not really known for mecha designs at all. Nothing wrong with that, but it makes the hint sorta deceptive if it's true. Shigeto Koyama is another mecha designer who does character designs, but his line art is clean enough such that he isn't really an "original character designer" but a proper character designer, like on Heroman.

Since Yasuomi Umetsu is directing, I wish this wouldn't be animated by ARMS but by AIC ASTA, but since they already have a LN adaptation scheduled for this summer, we delay it for next winter, right ?

I'll give it a chance hoping it'll break the mold a bit but not exactly holding my breath. The whole island setting thing isnt exactly a great sign to me these days either. |

^ erm, without trying to be slightly off topic or rude, isn't Unicorn the living example of the good real robot genre coming back to our age? O.o Even though it's probably at the current date the only one, (and considering you're not a fan of the Code Geass genre either that is) it better than nothing ... I'd even say it's really worth praising.
Also it's not like I'm forcing it, but the current movie remake of a certain bio-mecha anime series whose third episode will premiere this fall isn't bad at all either, even though it's not the real mecha genre you guys used to admire ... but I guess it might be up to people's taste ^^" Back on topic : Quote:
Sorry, I missed that one earlier. ^^" Not really, the mecha genre has been filled with girls for ages already. There's several mecha anime title whose main charaters are girls that can be mentioned in that premise (Sora wo kakeru shojo, Idolm@ster xenoglossia, Rinne no Lagrange, etc ...) but they're still a minority compared to the outstanding number of mecha anime with male lead out there though. However if you also count supporting characters piloting too, then, I'd say it's even more balanced than what you think Quote:
As for the story and if this anime will bring any kind or innovation to its genre is currently unknown. Truth to be told, everything mentioned so far in this thread were pure speculation. But, probably (I said probably) if the identity of the main staff will be revealed we might be able to tell if a genre deconstruction is possible or not. But until, then I advise you not to put your hopes too high

Considering we had 5 main heroines and has mecha musume (?) stuff, I'll expect some yuri hints and love triangle or anything like that, with huge wall of drama/tragedy showing girls crying or gets feared a lot.

I assert the plot and the mecha battle themselves can make a Mecha series a good one (but not certainly epic though) without having " stunning guys armed with guts and unshakable feelings" as the tip of the sword, just being interesting on their own way and fitting their own context is enough, isn't it? ^^
