nel2012 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 New project with Haruhiko Mikimoto´s characters.... can´t wait!!! Look at those "familiar" faces *__* http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-17/attack-on-titan-team-kotetsujo-no-kabaneri-anime-trailers-reveal-premise-april-premiere/.96632 http://kabaneri.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Nice to know he isn't retired The plot and trailer reminds me of Attack on Titan but looks great still. Will be watching this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well this looks interesting. I still would have preferred an Attack on Titan season 2 date announcement, but this will could be interesting for now. The Mikimoto designs and Sawano music has me almost sold. I just hope it isn't an attack on titan clone and it does something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 It looks gorgeous, and I like the overall style better than AoT. Can we have a new Macross with Mikimoto Characters, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 So Kabaneri is coming out very soon and the trailer looks pretty exciting. What's pretty interesting is that it has been licensed worldwide by none other than Amazon who is going to stream it through their Prime service at the same time as Japan. It seems Amazon is serious about it too, since they payed a huge license fee for Kabaneri and made a deal too for all the Noitamina shows with Fuji TV. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-03-18/.99932 Crunchyroll and Funimation are going to have a hard time getting the stuff they want.

SuperHobo Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Looks like everyone wants a piece of the anime pie now. I hope this show doesn't end up being another "guilty crown" or "aldonoah zero". This show has a good staff and some amazingly talented people working on it so I hope for something great. Plus Aimer and Egoist for one show and Sawano Hiroyuki doing the OST jesus.

EXO Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So glad I have Amazon Prime. And it looks like we're finally going to get some great Mikimoto stuff that we needed in a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Looks like everyone wants a piece of the anime pie now. What worries me a bit with this anime boom (Amazon, Netflix plus Crunchyroll, Daisuki, Viewster, Hulu, Funimation etc) that inevitably there comes a bust on the other side. I don't think there's THAT much money to be made with anime. It's still a pretty niche product, with only the very big hits offering the kind of value the networks expect (crossover value).

I don't think there's THAT much money to be made with anime. It's still a pretty niche product, with only the very big hits offering the kind of value the networks expect (crossover value). On the other hand if it's successful maybe we can see more funding being put into shows to produce some better quality products. Funimation has started to be apart of the production committee on Dimension W and that show looks great......story wise eh not so much. lol The bubble bursting may or may not happen we will just have to wait and see. Of course we must vote with our dollars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think the anime boom may be due to a lack of American action cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think the anime boom may be due to a lack of American action cartoons. There was a brief boom in American animation with Tron: Uprising and the Thundercats reboot. Sadly, both are gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Is this streaming anywhere other than amazon? Amazon doesn't like to include us Canadians in their streaming plans. Edited April 13, 2016 by Sandman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The designs are so beutiful. Anyone that says his designs are dated is an idiot. I wish we could see him do a macross series again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 So those who've seen it: Thoughts? I heard a podcast talking about it a little bit and the impression was overall positive. "Like AoT, but better" was the briefest summation I could find. I enjoyed AoT well enough up 'til episode 13 or so, when they spent ten episodes talking beneath a giant rack of ribs. So I'm middling chuffed on this and need some good word of mouth to reach full chuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 nah, he should be bitten by kabane then fail to kill himself and forced to flee. for some reason his conversion to kabane stops at the head and he remains aware of his failure and his fate in his now immortal kabane body.

kajnrig Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Such an anime anime, for both the better and the worse. I was thinking of how best to sum it up, and the closest I can get is "Let's fight Attack on Titan with Really Japanese Engineering." Because this is a Really Japanese anime. Like, Steamgun Samurai vs Ninja on a Post-WWII Industrial Bakufu-era Shinkansen levels of Japanese. I'm digging it so far. Let's hope this train ride doesn't disappoint.

JB0 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Four-word synopsis: steampunk samurai zombie superheroes. The show has serious problems from a storytelling perspective, but it looks cool enough that I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Four-word synopsis: steampunk samurai zombie superheroes. The show has serious problems from a storytelling perspective, but it looks cool enough that I don't care. This sums up most of my thoughts on this show, but they can't fight zombies on the train forever. I need some story developments and intrigue to keep going.

JB0 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I still don't understand Ikoma's whole look. At first, he was pulling out the coal from the fire, I was "Okay, cauterize the wound, good idea." And then he grabs the rivet gun and starts nailing crap to his chest and I'm just "wait, what?" By the time he wrapped the belt around his neck and yanked the throttle on his autostrangulation machine I'd already given up on making sense of his plan. Now how come some people turn in minutes and others take three friggin' days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yeah the initial glitz and glamour is starting to fade away now. Still, it was strong enough that I'm in it for the next few episodes at least, probably the entire run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
