So The Seatbelts/Yoko Kanno aren't on board?

 

[Soriku]

Hopefully it's closer to Champloo than Bebop in quality.

 

[Nesotenso]

will watch

 

[Envelope]

Ugh.

*watches trailer*
Not helping.

Welcome back to the fold Sister Femmeworth

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hopefully it's closer to Champloo than Bebop in quality.

Imo Champloo was too close to Bebop.

 

[unpopularblargh]

So what's up with the Bones hate? The last thing I saw by them was Brotherhood and the first half of Blast Of Tempest and they seemed really good if not great animation wise.

 

[Cess007]

Damn, totaly hype.

Now the horrible wait for January of the next year

 

[Midnight Moon]

Would watch :3

BONES still has some of the best character action, effects, and mechanical animators in the industry. Lots of people are just pissed that they haven't managed to get great projects in terms of direction and writing to make best use of their animation talent I guess.

I would have settled for middling, even, but this will do!

 

[Femmeworth]

While I have some faith in Watanabe, I don't expect this to completely avoid the pitfalls associated with this style. At least it should be better than Redline.

 

[Velti]

Hoes.

IN.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

 

[Krev]

Animation looks great.

 

[shadyspace]

What does "aggressively trying to sell the show internationally" mean? Day and date Crunchyroll?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

What does "aggressively trying to sell the show internationally" mean? Day and date Crunchyroll?

Day and date Toonami

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

What does "aggressively trying to sell the show internationally" mean? Day and date Crunchyroll?

It means trying to air it on television in foreign markets.

 

[MechaX]

This looks so Space Adventure Cobra.

But hell, I'm down. The last anime I got excited for was Eureka Seven AO, and there is no way that someone like Watanabe can disappoint me. Right...?

 

[squidyj]

I hope it turns out to be good. I like a lot of the people involved.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

What does "aggressively trying to sell the show internationally" mean? Day and date Crunchyroll?

it's been pitched to Adult Swim.

 

[∀ Narayan]

So The Seatbelts/Yoko Kanno aren't on board?

I'm curious as well.

Definitely going to watch this!

 

[shadyspace]

it's been pitched to Adult Swim.

Damn

 

[Joqu]

...Okay you've got my attention.

 

[Secret Fawful]

So what's up with the Bones hate? The last thing I saw by them was Brotherhood and the first half of Blast Of Tempest and they seemed really good if not great animation wise.

Brotherhood is fuckin terrible animation wise. Sword of the Stranger, on the other hand, was a beautiful beautiful movie.

 

[dimb]

Day and date Toonami

Hahahahahaha.

 

[FourMyle]

Looks a little sillier than I was hoping, but we'll see. Looks better than any other TV anime I'm aware of that's in the pipeline, anyway (not saying much).

Hard to get excited with how disappointing TV anime has been over the past 1/2 dozen years.

I was also bummed when I started the PV but then I realized what kind of style they are going for and also looked at the rest of the staff and now I'm really excited.

 

[Crash55118]

I wouldn't be surprised if they skipped Adult Swim altogether and tried for Netflix.

It looks great, and I can't wait.

 

[Popparoks]

spike will always be the best

 

[Kinyou]

Reminds me a bit of Captain future

 

[Broank]

OMG OMG OMG This looks like it's for me.

Haven't seen much Bones stuff but they are the Cowboy Bebop team that left Sunrise aren't they?

 

[Jarmel]

Now that I'm back in my hotel room, I can write up a bit more.

This was noted as the villain of the series and was described as an evil professor.

This is his spaceship.

This is Dandy's spaceship.

Watanabe is aware of the similarity to Star Trek. Also some of the designers are being kept secret and will be announced one at a time.

 

[Mesoian]

Fans who saw a clip a few months ago at a Chilean convention said it was Yoko Kanno.

Fantastic. I'm in.

 

[dehydratedbabies]

"Mushroom Samba every week"

 

[mightynine]

I am very intrigued.

 

[daveo42]

it's been pitched to Adult Swim.

Not surprised at all. Toonami is on the pretty much the only cable network left in the US that still airs anime. I couldn't care less if they show it on TV, but they want in on that market.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Day and date Toonami

My body is ready.

 

[Vox-Pop]

Will watch, but I've been disappointed by everything not named Bebop.

 

[speedpop]

My mind and soul is ready.

 

[Kaako]

Just watched the PV and read this thread. I said hell yeaaaah out loud. So ready.

 

[NervousXtian]

FUCK YES YES YES YES STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS FUCK YES YES YES.

So fucking want.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I hope opening animation is done by the same staff behind the Kids on the Slope OP.

[OnFire331]

I'm digging the character designs and seeing the description of the show, it seems like it might get more than 26 episodes.

 

[Totakeke]

ARGH, GIVE IT TO ME.

 

[pa22word]

I haven't watched anime in years and I'm hyped.

BONES still has some of the best character action, effects, and mechanical animators in the industry. Lots of people are just pissed that they haven't managed to get great projects in terms of direction and writing to make best use of their animation talent I guess.

Hey now, Darker than Black was great...

Spoiler

but then season 2 happened

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

This is exactly what I needed to get me back into anime after 7 years of losing interest.

Well this and the new season of Hajime No Ippo.

 

[sixteen-bit]

kewl

 

[Onemic]

What is PV?

 

[Narag]

What is PV?

Promotional Video.

 

[Hazanko]

Looks amazing!!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Ohhh man, old school sci-fi adventure anime feel. Take us back, Watanabe. I would like nothing more than for this to actually feel like those old, pulpy, fun spirited, over the top epic adventures. Main character looks great, all the aliens look great.

Can't wait.

 

[AuthenticM]

fuck yes.

prediction: Steve Blum is totally voicing the main character.
