Oh boy !!!!
The killer is back for good shit

This must be the mecha title A-1 President Ueda wanted to try and supersede Gundam with.

My expectations are high but if this turns out to be another "healing" anime I'm not sure if I'll bother watching. Gargantia wasn't exactly his best work.

[Feng Lengshun]

I hope it will be at least Saya no Uta level cruelty. Heh, he's the best when he's out to kill everyone.

We'll see... It's almost like they are aiming to outdo Gundam 00 for now.

Whatever Gen's planning it'll no doubt be a huge mindf*cker.

I think the control he had over that project was extremely limited. For one, he didn't write very episode script (and it was noticeable when he didn't). Second, it seemed more like the director's pet project than anything else.

Gargantia wasn't very great and A-1 isn't exactly the best choice for animating this kind of show but since Urobuchi is on board, I will watch it and if it has CGI, it has to be done either by Orange (heard Majestic Prince features some of the best CGI in a while) or Sanzigen (did a good job on 009: Re Cyborg and Arpeggio of Blue Steel).

And no one mention that it's the first project of Troica, Aoki's new studio.

Sure but I'm still going to keep a decent level of caution when it comes to this show. At least until more information comes out to let us know that this won't be another Gargantia.

[Nachtwandler]

Am I the only one who liked Gargantia here? Yes, It was quite light for Urobuchi's project but it was better than average.

[Haak]

Not only did I really like Gargantia, I'm also of the opinion that saying it's "Urobuchi's work" is disingenuous. Gargantia was definitely Murata's story.

[Nachtwandler]

Yeah-yeah. But most of people don't understand it still.

Even if Gargantia wasn't the greatest thing after invention of wheel, considering that Sunrise is pretty much mecha zombie without anything to offer anymore, anything with humongous piloted robots is would be great idea.

Will Urobuchi fully write this mecha series's script? If so, then my expectation will be pretty high. I know most of Gargantia's story wasn't really written by him, that's why my expectation for it was moderate and the anime somewhat delivers (especially for a limited 12-episode series).

That statement is pretty much contradictory. If you only want “anything with humongous piloted robot”, then Sunrise’s animes are perfect for you . Also, Sunrise still has the upcoming last episode of the excellent Gundam Unicorn, so I think they still has a good new thing to offer.

Ok, now read that post again and think properly what I meant, then apologise for wasting my time with writing this post.

LOL don’t worry, I know perfectly well what what you meant since I first read it . I’m just fooling around with you since you said “anything with humongous piloted robots is would be great idea” which Sunrise’s series have them in spades .

[LightDragonman]

Man, this looks interesting. Then again, it's a Gen Urobuchi work; of course it looks awesome. XD

Though, with all the projects he has under is belt currently (Psycho Pass 2, Gargantia 2, Kamen Rider Gaim, Expelled From Paradise, and now this), do you guys worry that the quality of his writing for this may suffer as a result?

[Dekomori Sanae]

Another series by Urobutcher? Good grief...
Massive cruelty pretty much guaranteed.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a very dark and gloomy "End of the world/Last resort" type mecha scenario... I would rather be surprised if it is not.
