It's quite the awesome design.

As for it being too light, I'm not worried *yet*. A very tiny bit of quirkiness could be nice as long as it doesn't go to the point where the show is basically just another anime and no longer what I'd consider "the unique Bee Train Mashimo style" and it's exaggerated but gritty realism. I think think they know that serious action and serious plot is what makes their shows so awesome and unique (and Kajiura's music style really caters to this too) so I don't think they will venture too far where it loses it's "Noir/Madlax". Also, the last shot of her looking serious with the her gun out helps me think that that they won't go "too happy". Perhaps it's just a natural outgrowth of the slightly "brighter" more open wild west-ish setting since it seems to be more "outlaws" than stealthy "assasins"?

Looking good, looks very high-budget. This was what I was waiting for. The music, I'm glad it's something new from Kajiura and it sounds good as well.

WanderingKnight · 2007-03-08, 18:31

Any information of Bee Train animating a new show makes me go WTF.

But add to that the fact that the title sound extremely stupid in Spanish (El Cazador de la Bruja = The Hunter of the Witch), and this is a show that makes me go o.O. But then again, I'm a sucker for WTF shows

The title isn't as bad as you think. Summaries of this anime seem to imply that there is one witch and one witch hunter.

It's not the thing about it being grammatically correct and correspondent to the plot, the thing is that if you publish a movie over my country (or almost any other Spanish-speaking country) with that title, chances are most people will get a laugh at it.

And, isn't the hunter a woman? If so, it'd have to be "La Cazadora" xP

I kinda agree with you on this one. The title sounds like something pulled out of one of those horrible mexican wrestler movies from the 70's.

Though, I am still gonna give this show a chance.

Trailer wise..it's me, or the ''old gal'' is spanked by the younger one ?

If you look carefully, no. The reaction shot seems to be stitched on to the buttslap.

You see, Mashimo is a big tease...

/couldn't resist...

perfect

is it me or ナディ (Nadi) looks like Aaeru from Simoun, which is a series that savage genius do OP/ED as well ?

this officially take over darker than black as my most anticipated upcoming show now. The trailer is very promising, look like Kajiura-sama didn't lose her magic touch yet . Noir has an European setting, Madlax is a jungle-ish/Battlefield Vietnam/Farcry-ish setting while this 3rd series gives a sense of Westerner/cowboy/Mexico-ish....,maybe...maybe Kajiura would be able to produce an "Ecstacy of Gold"..

WanderingKnight · 2007-03-16, 19:26

^ Yeah, I also had a flashing thought of Aaeru from that pic, but it was because there was a specific moment when she was portrayed in a similar manner.

fignae · 2007-03-17, 01:42

Oh, now I do see the resemblance.

So it seems that Kikuchi Youko's designs have evolved over time. They didn't used to have such round eyes. A few people have said that her characters have been lolified. The colours appear to be lighter? and bodies and faces may be rounder.

It's pretty apparent in the new illustration for the Noir remastered set, too. The eyes, that is, not the rest of it.

WanderingKnight · 2007-03-17, 02:07

It's nice to see a change. At first I got sick of seeing the same faces all over .Hack/SIGN and Madlax. Seriously, I got flashbacks of Tsukasa all the time xD

Yeah I agree. Koichi Mashimo work tend to be too slow paced and the long camera shots. I can't believe I made it past the first 9 episodes of Noir, first anime ever that nearly put me too sleep literally. It got better after ep 9 though.

Hopefully Koichi Mashimo doesn't overdue it with those long camera shots and the slow pace in this anime.

They do only the ED of Simoun actually. But there is a resemblance between Aeru and Nadi, true. The latter may turn out to be a lot more moe though, I hope I am wrong about that.

Kirika looks almost scared with these big eyes, the change looks silly at least in that picture, IMO.

Storm-and-Fire · 2007-03-20, 06:17

O_O

Mashimo will do this... This means we get no Tsubasa? Too bad...

Anyway, my little sis liked an image she found, so she goes like "Let's watch this, it's interesting". Then, I discover Kajiura-sama is doing music for this one. And I'm totally sold. XD Plus, the whole story with witches and witch hunters seems interesting.

Loved the bit where Nadi kicks the guy in the nuts then kicks him off screen

Deathkillz · 2007-03-20, 17:04

Daniel E. · 2007-03-20, 20:05

Hope the characters dont try and speak much spanish. When Roberta did it in Black Lagoon, she sounded, well.... bad.

I much rather hear everyone talk in japanese.
