I'm having horrible images of a moe roller derby series.

Why not? Let's wait for more info.

Agreed. Who knows what "rolling girls" may refer to? (Though the first image that came to mind for me was a cross between K-On! and the old movie Rollerball.

)

Heck, it could be bowling or a country wide somersault competition in an alternate universe for all we know!

Although after seeing the super brief pv for some reason ticket scalping came to mind.

tsunade666 · 2014-08-09, 14:24

I'm sorry but when I first see the title the first thing that comes on my mind is girls rolling balls

though after watching the preview. it looks like an extreme sports with the head gear and that dress. Reminds me of racing team.

So, not the Rolling Stone but the Rolling Girls. Sounds funny.

Can just imagine the main characters doing something to triumph over something and all striking a victory pose and saying "Cuz that's how we roll!" :\

I seriously hope it is something more serious than most everything posited in the thread so far (my own thoughts too).

Wandering Soul · 2014-08-09, 18:42

I'm still not sure what this is supposed to be about but so far no reason not to give it a shot.

Better yet, a moe Rollerball series! Now that would be awesome!

Dop · 2014-08-09, 19:55

Admittedly for a moment I did get this confused with "Turning Girls" which would make an awesome show which probably wouldn't sell at all, sadly.

Kaeru is the idol we all deserve... Yaaaaayyyy...!

Although some kind of moe roller derby would be pretty cool.

Staff is interesting. I haven't watched Silver Spoon but I usually enjoy Kotomi Deai's work, she often did first episodes or key episodes (Kids on the Slope #7 or Kimi ni Todoke S2 #9 are coming to my mind). Her colorful OP/ED are also very sweet to watch. Her sweet & feminine style seem to fit this project.
Kitada's designs are also nice.

- Roller Derby? that's so 70's...I dunno, I used to watch Roller Derby when I was younger (tells you how old I am), and could never get into it. It kind of felt like Pro Wrestling on roller skates--and I don't like wrestling.

The PV makes me think more of urban couriers or delivery girls on roller skates. Not sure if this series will be worth looking into.

Kakkou · 2014-08-10, 01:47

I'm glad to see tanu doing original character designs for an anime again and at least this time it looks better than when P.A.Works adapted them.

MrTerrorist · 2014-08-10, 09:38

So it's a Roller Derby anime?

ninryu · 2014-08-10, 09:46

Umm... Roller blades, maybe? If it is a a sport anime, that is.

Dop · 2014-08-10, 12:14

It's the ongoing adventures of the Sisyphus-bu! Every day after school they roll a boulder up Mt. Fuji, but every time they stop for tea and cakes the boulder rolls back down again.
Ganbare! Sisyphus-bu!
