Ayumi Fujimura is voicing Striker, the other mech.

They announced a bunch of other voice cast for the show today too after the screening of ep1-2. There's a new PV on the site which is region blocked (#$^%#$), and they announced the OP/ED themes too.

OP: この世界は僕らを待っていた (This world was waiting for me) by Minori Chihara
ED: 空とキミのメッセージ (Message from you and the sky) by Choucho

Looking through the updates, it makes me even more excited than before ! The inclusion of the seiyuus that voices the characters from my favorite shows (such as Ayumi Fujimura, Kana Asumi and Shizuka Itou) as well the opening theme by Minori Chihara drives me crazy in a good way ! I have so much hope to look forward to it. Hope it will be at least lighter than Gen's previous works even though its "darkness" signature will probably remains.

Looks like we can all agree that the mech AI voice is going to be suave and smooth like silk.

Again, this seems really lighthearted. Which is good, because then maybe people will shut up about THE BUTCHER and how he's THE DARKEST MAN ALIVE or whatever.

Pretty lengthy trailer. The more I see of the show the harder it is to believe Gen's the one writing it. Of course even if it ends up being lighter than the other stuff he's done, I'll be very surprised if even half the characters from that trailer are alive at the end

Well, when you look at his work and read his interviews, you can't really blame them for thinking that

I hope this work will break his image of butcher a little bit. It'd be interesting to get something different from him.

Chihara Minory singing the OP? That's made my day. If it would be as cool as Horizon's OP's I would be really happy

I realize Gen Urobuchi is known for his dark and unrelenting story telling but if you think about it we have actually gotten many different things from him. While certain themes & philosophies tend to show up in all his works, the number of genres he has worked in has been very impressive.

The preview looks great and it looks like we are in for an adventure. But what got me most impressed was the range of characters. Oh and I approve of Sugita Tomokazu. I will be looking forward to this.

While Gen hasn't written a favorite anime of mine yet, I find all his series enjoyable and hey with consistency like that one cannot complain.

seiftis · 2013-02-09, 12:04

From the looks of it, this series has potential. Just hoping Gen stayed true to no moe & harem -- these are two elements I totally avoid from, especially the latter -_-

Just watched the trailer, and it hooks me even more. I heard the pre-screening behind the first two episodes were good, and the animation was pretty excellent. There's also a nice pantyshot for Amy, and I'm hoping to see Gen Urobuchi breaking its standards on this one !

Same goes for the purple mech, where they forgot to give it feet! XD
It shouldn't be able to stand, much less walk. Yet another impossibility.

you can find the trailer on youtube via looking for susei no gargantia 3.

Chamber has most of the traditional attributes of a super robot seemingly, which also includes having the power to be summoned by the pilot.

Here's a working link:

I'm really liking the premise, which shares a no. of similarities with Lagrange - humans expanded throughout the galaxy, Earth had long been forgotten while those who were left behind rebuilt their own civilisation.

Though I'm sure "homecoming" in this case won't be as light-hearted. I can see one possbile route Urobuchi may take is to have the first few eps of slice of life and then the aliens find out about Earth and Red can't get help from his own people due to Earth being "off the grid".

ars89 · 2013-02-11, 16:57

thanks for the link ^

that really makes me more excited for this now.

There better be some butchering in this series, I don't know why you guys don't want some more quality GEN

Because dark stuff only works a few times. It's far better when it's not predictable.
Case in point, Psycho-Pass, which is laughably dull.

Even if that unpredictability is an asspull?

Wrong kind of unpredictable, but in any case of course it also has to make sense given the narrative up to that point.
My argument is that Urobuchi having a bunch of people die yet again wouldn't be interesting to watch, as it's just par for the course at this point.
