>>14014495
Does anyone know what exactly ippei gyoubu is doing on this? I'm guessing the train and maybe the guns and stuff? he's designed a lot of the logo's and markings on IBO too like tekkadan's logo so maybe theres some of that

It looks nice, but just wait until Funi is the only company that licenses this for simulcast and we only get 50kbs artefacts-galore releases.

Reminds me of Banagher. It's nice to see Mikimoto's character designs in a new anime.

Something about G-Reco being Tomino-ish also G-Reco being great.

didn't Ippei Gyoubu also design something for this?

>>14018122
Yes, but we still don't know exactly what.

>>14018094

You're alright Araki

this looks pretty awesome but why is this on /m/ did i miss something

>>14018819
Cool trains.

>>14018819
Well, we like interviews that talk about G-Reco, right?

>>14022135
He also talks about First Gundam in one of these interviews too. Google translate version:

-By the way, catch copy of this work of "dead also Ikiro" is, Toka is of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "I wish once dead guys", I'll live Tatte not "asked for" Brain Powered " ", or" Ikiro "of the" Princess Mononoke ", it evoked the image of a variety of masterpiece.

Araki Oo, I wonder if there is ...... and is said that way (laughs). No But, I mean straight as it is line with respect as his own the catch copy, plainly the thing that appeared to work, is a fool honestly catch copy that represents. In the part of the copy, I had not been conscious of the fact of past work. When you are making is, but I thought he had had to work while feeling that there is the influence of the "First Gundam" (= "Mobile Suit Gundam"). And "it would be what? You're trying to do with this work," we believe, of a human being in the "First Gundam", I feel was really that I'm aiming to drawn the way of the world is. After "Attack on Titan" is, because it is the work that still worked in the last, I think that has been affected is really thinking. Feeling that in but only background, drama That's starting from "First Gundam", something like comfortably felt in the works in the series of Tomino Yoshiyuki director, I feel that you are trying to do. Mr. The Tomino I am allowed to be with us for work directly in the "Rekongisuta of G", that was looking at the work in front of the eye, it had the absorption can be part to more than when you are seen as a visitor. It's a "human How to draw the feel of the relationship" like a place. That's I think that has been utilized in this work.

>>14014495
Characters look ugly with stupid outfits.

I would seriously love to know what Araki says about Tomino and G-Reco.

TE where are you?

Some impressions from the prescreenings :


It's a bit erotic/lewd!
It's fun to see Mumei kills everything
I'm sad because I have to wait until the end of April to keep watching.
Sawano's work is far beyond his average!
A lot of talking
All the female characters look good!
It was scary
I wonder how many people died to animate this
OP and ED don't fit the show
Mixed audience (male and female of all age, not just otaku or fujoshi)
That samurai with a sword is "nippon banzai" at its strongest
You need to watch it in theater!
Why does this TV anime looks so god when a movie like Digimon Tri looks so bad?
Anonymous-chan is super cute!
Attack on Kotetsujou : Kabaneri of the rebellion : Sengoku Basara edition
The tension is high thanks to the music
Beautiful ending
How are they going to maintain this quality until the end?
The story didn't start so far
Music doesn't disappoint
A lot of blood and violence, a bit grotesque
"Japanese-made steam punk proximity fighting ®!"
Script is way better than Valvrave (so far).
I had flashbacks from Guily Crown


The story didn't start so far
Script is way better than Valvrave (so far).

>>14024499
>Script is way better than Valvrave (so far).

Funny, what I heard was them calling rehash, not superiority.

Then again what about Kabaneri isn't a recycled hack job?

>>14024499
This screams Aniplex press manipulation so hard.

Which is bizarre since Aniplex isn't involved with this as far as I know.

>>14024499

Is Sawano back at the top of his game again?

>>14024618

>>14022200
>not "asked for" Brain Powered "
NOBODY asked for Brain Powered.

>>14024648
Funny how /m/ seems to be warming up to it lately.

>>14024632
Yeah, it's not like a lot of their anime productions are already based on pre-existing and popular series. It's not like "trends" are a thing in popular culture, and it's not like trends exist regardless of whether or not Aniplex markets their series.

>>14024623
>Taking Japs opinion on Sawano seriously

They praised the A/Z and KLK OSTs as well.

>>14024686
Trends are a construct of business groups designed to profit off of popularity for popularity's sake rather than actual quality.

Ergo it is totally an Aniplex stunt.

Highly doubtful. Seems a little faked.

>>14024513
It's recycled from Attack on Titan though (which in turn was directly derived from Muv-Luv if we want to be nitpicky), so that's a huge difference. So this doesn't really look or sound anything like Valvrave based on the rest of the impression as well as what we know so far.

>>14025424
>Mikimoto
>Okouchi
>Ippei Gyoubu

>not /m/

>>14026101
There are boards for mundane vehicles. /o/ for cars, /n/ for boats/planes/trains, /k/ for any of the above that have weapons strapped on them. Unless they're futuristic sci-fi or turn into a robot, they aren't really /m/.

Here's some minor comparison to VVV according to spoilers:

Kabaneri are people who are bitten by Kanbane but didn't turned. Kanbane's main energy source is blood. In PV3, you see Ayame stabbing Ikoma, but this is as they were going to board the train, and Ayame trying to ease the passengers' fear. At the end of episode 3 though, Ikoma is trying to "feed" off Ayame, hence the VVV comparison.

Nips can make jokes too.

Welcome to Okouchi's wild ride.
Your chair is upside down and you have to walk a corkscrew path to even reach it.

Also when you get to your chair you'll find yourself already sitting in it, surprise you were the driver all along and now you're about to cause a recordbreaking disaster

Except at the last second the train rotates 90 degrees upwards and rockets straight for the stars, does sick donuts in the exosphere, and then lands on the rails right before rear ending the train that was originally on a head on course for it.

>>14027751
I suspect that working under Izubuchi, Tomino and Taniguchi snapped his sanity in half. Just imagine the headaches he would cause to his superiors if he ever got hired in the staff for a Tokusatsu show.

That was before I watched the PV though, and yeah it looks high-budget.

Personally, I'd rather somewhat fancy a Sentai by him.

They're all liches.

And their transformation device are their phylacteries.

And mid way through one of them has their device blown out of their hand right as they're about to transform, killing them off and leaving the rest of the team absolutely shocked by what happened.

And this is all revealed in the course of one episode, with only a breadcrumb trail of hints to suggest this was going to happen.

UNDEAD SENTAI LIVERANGER.

>>14026940

The original design is the typical Mikimoto's Max Type, but the animation design is very similar to Banagher.

>>14026430

Looks like the typical contagion-vampire story actually. We already saw this countless time before that bad mecha anime.

>>14028386

More information from a viewer on /a/

>>/a/138989309

>Is the animation as good as the nips said?
Yeah, it's pretty good, but of course that's likely just for these 3 episodes.

> Is the pacing good?
The three episodes in cinema were shown continously, but if the episode breaks are where it seemed they are, it might feel slow to watch one episode at a time. I feel like I saw enough to want to watch more, but I'd bet many people here won't be too thrilled just after episode 1.

>How close to AoT is it in term of story and visuals?
Story - people live in enclosed spaces and get attacked by monsters. And Mumei kinda jumps around a lot like characters in AoT. That's kinda it, otherwise it's plenty different. People get to moved on railways, people turn into Kabane when bitten by one, so there's this zombie-movie like paranoia etc. - stuff you don't immediately see in AoT.

>Any outstanding characters?
Most are pretty standard, especially MC, but Mumei is a likeable qt.

>Did they show the opening and the ending?
Yeah and they're good.

>Was there a lot of people in the theater?
Plenty, but the theater wasn't full. I presume most people went before, cause on previous showing there was an aftershow with some seiyuus and staff.

>How is the CG? Anything beside the Kotetsujo and some backgrounds in CG? Are the seiyuu good? Is it well directed?

>So was there a big twist at the end of the prologue?

This'll be the end of episode 3 - MC gets overcome with his hunger and starts attacking Ayame-sama. At the same time Mumei is outside and asks some people to feed her blood, so I presume it'll just be MC needing blood too.

>Also some people said the OP and ED don't fit.

Dunno what they mean. They didn't really feel inappropriate or anything.

>>14025608

Yes. For those wonderfully garbage modern designs of his.

>>14031522
More

I'm not really too perceptive to music in visual works, so I can only tell you there wasn't anything that I found bad and notice it as such.

Animation god tier in some scenes, above average throughout all three episodes.

To add more spoilers MC was researching Kabanes and developed a theory about stopping the virus, so when he gets bitten he tests it and succeeds. His hair gets partially white afterwards. And yes, he has healing powers. His skin also turns a light shade of grey and he's able to touch a hot steam pipe without being burned. Mumei is a Kabaneri too, this is in the trailer, but her skin color is normal, so I presume she's somehow different than the MC.

Kabanes are much like zombies and were bitting chunks out of their victims to turn them into new Kabanes. But they were attracted by blood, MC uses it to lure one.

>Do they explain why the Kabane have a metal heart and some kind of lava veins on their bodies
Not in the first three episodes, I presume that's just how the virus works and it'll be detailed later. The train fortress MC and other are on is heading to the main base, where shogun lives, and there's an offhand mention that it's also the place where most research about Kabane takes place.

Also the meal hearts is the reason why Kabanes are hard to kill, they can take several shots to the heart until they die. Alternatively Mumei kills some by cutting their heads off.

I guess the ED might be different for the broadcast version, since in the theater it was just a still image with credits and song, with the image changing a but after the song ends. But some anime EDs are like that normally, so I dunno.

> Was there anything lewd or erotic as a nip said?
Mumei's legs, before she changes into combat gear.

Yeah, the slower pace of the first three episodes definetly made me think it should be 2 cours.

there was numerous side-characters introduced, so I don't believe they'll get enough content in just 1 cour.

>>14031522
>How is the CG? Anything beside the Kotetsujo and some backgrounds in CG? Are the seiyuu good? Is it well directed?
Honestly I didn't notice any bad CG.

>>14031539
>there was numerous side-characters introduced, so I don't believe they'll get enough content in just 1 cour.

The sad thong is that Okouchi confirmed it is 1-cour so if it's popular enough, we might as well get another season.

>>14031588

Nice English.

>>14031588
Joke's on you they probably have a second cour on the table and only say 1 season due to technicalities.

The ride never ends.

Sorry anon you're getting Guilty Crown: the Edo Years.

>>14031641
Doesn't really look like it aside from contagion-vampires, plus it has the potential to have an actually consistent story.

>>14031649
>people get bitten
>healing powers
>MC has urges to bite people

Sounds like VVV to me.

>>14031656
>actually consistent

Never change, valvrager

>contagion-vampires

We call those zombies, baka.

>>14031522

Ha, true

>>14024673
I think the consensus is that the show is not actually terrible, but that it wasn't wrll received in Japan and the translation we got was shockingly poor

Looks kinda neat from a design standpoint may just watch it for trains and shit.

I'd rather Amazon Prime. On top of being late their translations are terrible

>>14027017
This isn't "five different things though" since there have been plenty of zombie stories with infection and the like for decades, anon. And considering that Attack on Titan had Eren turning into a Titan (and other people also being Titans), and that this is a clone of Attack on Titan with a different setting...why are you even slightly surprised by this? It's the same damn thing, not more complex or convoluted.

>>14031522
So it's Attack on Titan except if that guy from Highschool of the Dead hadn't died in the first episode and was somehow still kept alive.

This is bait.

Now name another anime that is like it besides VVV and Kabaneri.

>>14034609
Reading comprehension. Learn it.

>>14034614
I'm just talking about anime that had main characters who were given supernatural powers that is capable of regeneration but may also causes the urge of bitting people, that's what I'm trying to say.

>>14034620
And I am saying this is not the first time Okouchi used this same setup, so if people say "Hey, this sounds like VVV" there is more than a reason.

>>14034622
I see, what I'm trying to say is if there's any title that did such thing besides VVV and Kabaneri.

I thought Mikimoto no longer worked in anime.

>>14034741
http://desustorage.org/a/thread/138908509/#138926107

According to the interview (Mikimoto's), Araki basically visited Mikimoto bringing a ton of Mikimoto's past artbook/chara design/etc. with him, some of which Mikimoto himself doesn't even remember. Mikimoto thought he won't get involved with another project anymore, but he was touched by this.

From Araki's interview, they wanted Mikimoto but even the producers went, "is he gonna accept though?" Once Mikimoto did, the project was able to pick up pace.

>>14034620
It's super superficial at best though.

>>14034747
That archive has a shoddy translation for his G-Reco comments too, nice.

The Mikimoto designs are very good, surprised he managed to adapt his style to a new audience so well.
