I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| And another mecha show! Nice. |
 |
| Mecha. I'm in. |
| So hyped. So many good good shows, new mechs and the works being announced. Whatever they throw at me, I'mma just be all <3 now. |
 |
| Wow, too many shows announce in just a day, but I'm not bothered by it. Definitely looking forward. |
 |
| Mecha... Mecha everywhere! I'll watch it! |
 |
| It has my attention! Looking forward to seeing more |
| The use of 3D looks really awkward, imo. Also, that ass in face scene had me rolling my eyes. When a PV is already giving off negative vibes, that isn't a good sign. |
 |
| argevollen? what's that? xD |
 |
| >CG looks good >Mechanized warfare >Xebec Count me in. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| The name is "Shirogane" not "Hakugin", even if both words are formed with the same kanjis. Confirmed at the end of the first PV. |
| Xebec did make one good mecha show ages ago (Dai-Guard), but I'm still not expecting anything out of this. I'll just wait for it to air and give it a go. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Looks cool. |
[center] |
| Every time I look at a mecha PV I'm like "damn those models looks amazing, maybe I'll give it a try" then when I give it a try "uhhh why the heck am I enduring a mecha? I'm not a masochist what the hell", after I saw that ecchi moment maybe I really give it a try |
| Please no more ecchi stuff on this mecha anime. Because what I saw in most of mecha anime with ecchi stuff was not good. I like ecchi in some comedy anime, fantasy anime, action anime, romance and others .But not in mecha series. Sounds great that KOTOKO will sing theme song of this series. |
 |
| MECHA YESSS!!! |
| Even more mecha? Wow. I'm in. music sounded pretty good, KOTOKO OP is cool too. Also fun that it's a TV original. |

|
| Another mecha? Wow. |
 |
| Year of the mecha oooh :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Can we get something that has no mechas? And the PV looks awful. |

Hahalollawl said: Dragon_Slayer_X said: Tankjan said: Can we get something that has no mechas? And the PV looks awful. There are a lot of shows that are not Mecha. Stop bitching and go to the threads of your choice............. It's true that there are a lot of shows that are not Mecha. But as a fan of mecha series I'm actually a bit concerned about so many mecha shows starting around the same time. As a viewer I'm excited and eager to watch them, but I wonder, will the fanbase be able to support so many mecha series? When they air simultaneously do they not risk splitting the financial support of fans who can't afford to buy all of them? I'm glad the studios are still willing to make them, but will they keep making them if some of them do poorly in sales? Ahh well, maybe I'm overthinking it. I agree, it will be tight to outsell a competitor with so much shows airing/selling at the same time. |
| I'm looking to get into more new anime as I had such fun following the AKB0048 series in 2012 and 2013 as it aired, plus mecha is a genre I haven't explored yet (the Gundam series has a lot to it, and I'd prefer to ease myself in gently), so I'll likely be watching this. |
 |
| 01:18 - 01:21 Tachikoma reloaded? Although I'm not a big fan of mecha, looking forward to this and KOTOKO's contribution. |
| The world is the illusion of the real world. |
| 2014 is the year of the mecha and gay swimmers! xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| KOTOKO will sing the OP? I'm in. |
| I'm taking this, the mecha look excellent, Kotoko doing the OP, and the CG is halfway decent on the mechs. |
 |
| So much mecha lately. Roloko said: 2014 is the year of the mecha and gay swimmers! xD We need a swimming mecha anime right freaking now! |

I like ecchi in some comedy anime, fantasy anime, action anime, romance and others .But not in mecha series. +1. I'm looking at you Valvrave and Nobunaga the Fool. The butt scene put me off a bit in the video. Hopefully the anime only has very few instances of ecchi. In the series I've watched at least, ecchi and mecha don't go well. Just my opinion. Yeah ecchi belongs in rom-coms, harems and such, the only fanservice I need to see are the mechs and other vehicles themselves and whatever equipment and weapons they armed with. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: Hah and they said Mecha genre was dying...........i really like to see their faces now. They must be crying in a corner of some dark room after all these announcements. 2014 is becoming a great year.......a lot of Mechas, a lot of sequels and lots of awesome shows. The pv looks good too and the white Mecha looks great. Yeah it definitely sucks about that whole mecha dying out thing. So Sachika Misawa is doing the ending but not appearing in the actual show. I'm starting to think her VA career might be done and we're just seeing her as a singer now cause it's been almost 2 years since she did Kuroyukihime and hasn't been anywhere near a leading role again since. |

| There can never be too much mecha. Not too interested with the lead mech, but dayum those fattie grunts. Delicious. phoenixalia said: Geez, don;t be boors. Mecha is the second home of ecchi, I mean take a look at Geass, Gunbuster, Break Blade amd Evangelion for starters.KurizenT said: Please no more ecchi stuff on this mecha anime.

| Hmm, mecha - that's a plus, director - based on his previous works that's a huge minus, series composition for the same reason plus... I guess it's worth to give it a shot without much expectations. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
