So it's a new style of animation? Innovation is always nice to see. And I like their
character designer choice.

Will see how this turns out, but 60 minutes per episode? That's lengthy..

That's what I found on wiki :
石ダテコー太郎(いしだてこーたろう、本名:石館光太郎、...)
So Ishidate Koutarou would be the correct one

I'm pretty sure it's him : http://myanimelist.net/people/20613/Koutarou_Ishidate

There's only one "kou", not two. It's just a different way to write his real name 石館, 光太郎 that he's using.
So Ishidate Koutarou indeed.

Interesting concept. I wonder if this will lead to a new trend in anime or if this will just disapear without any follow up.

Since Aku no Hana was so CRAZY SUCCESSFUL, they decided "let's step it up a bit shall we?"

this will flop

Oddly enough Aku no Hana was successful! Sure not in disk sales but the manga got a nice boost.

Isn't Tesagure a better comparison than Aku no Hana?
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Live broadcast + mo-cap? Does that mean they'll be acting live and rendering in real time?

Not a fan of the character designs, but I guess this is somewhat original. I'll at least give it a shot.

Mo-cap not rotoscoped. I suspect this will not appeal to western audiences as it will be like one of those random idol tv shows where they just burble on. Still .. it's an interesting idea.
