Not anime or manga.
>>143837944
Fuck off.
>>143837944
Anime = Japanese animation. Animated puppets are still animation, senpai.
Anyone streaming?
>>143838585
While I agree that belongs on /a/ i don't want to call any animation anime. photorealistic CGI should not be equated to anime for example.
>>143838833
Crunchyroll is confirmed!
>>143839264
Yeah I ain't paying for that shit.
I for one welcome our Taiwanese puppet overlords
Probably belongs on /jp/
>>143839269
How about chibies of characters.
>>143839796
No. It's labeled as Anime, by creator, producers, airing television, even damn AniDB.

I watched this movie recently and it was the shit. Didn't expect the fights to actually be more exciting than live action wuxia ones.
>>143839269
That's the Chaika illustrator isn't it?

As expected from Butch!
> live action wuxia ones
They haven't been as good ever since moving away from using wires
Pilli ended up inserting the protagonists into a background cameo of their ongoing TV series. Because, well, why not?
>>143837758
Actual hit of the season cause Urobuchi x Sawano x Tons of big production comittee backing and marketing. Of all the shows airing this season outside of Love Live and Qualidea Code its the one that looks most designed to be a major hit.

I just wanted to post it:

I can't fucking wait.

How about Prisma?
>>143844627
Prisma's sales should be easy to tell given that we know how well the previous seasons sold.
Aniplex guy is delusional again, Thunderbolt fantasy is a very hard sell. It's pretty much just hoping many sengoku basara fujos buy it.
>>143844936
That and Urobuchi fans if he writes the whole thing.
>puppet shit
>animation
Nice meme, but no.
>>143845329
Yes, right here. See >>143839936

Unless are you trying to suggest that I should fap to this series, then definitely not.
>>143845080
>>143839269
Sweet, I didn't know Namaniku ATK is one of the character designers for this.

It's categorized as anime under Amazon even. It even has roughly the same cast as Fate/Zero. It's clear where they're trying to go with this
>>143848918
Its categorized under anime because they are not going to create a new product category for a single puppet shit show. Still not anime.
>>143849041
And yet you're talking about what is likely to be one of if not the hits of the season with all the pieces it has on board to become one. You'd be surprised how popular the Thunderbirds are in Japan too. Like enough to get an anime sequel in Japan called Thunderbirds 2086. If anything it not being straight anime might actually make it more accessible to every day Japanese viewers.

This garbage is going to flop, though. It has no target audience.
