"how do we fill the gap between AOT seasons"

"just add steampunk and claim it's a different series"


looks surprisingly good for a studio WIT production :^)

 

[ponpo]

Those back gas canisters and wires attached to the weapons, pfft.

Step up senpai.

 

[Spirit Icana]

HIROYUKI SAWANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sawano means I'll be watching. Hope it's good.

 

[massoluk]

Well shit, I'm always in whem Haruhiko Mikimoto is involved. More hyped for him than any of the collaborators.

 

[wonzo]

steampunk zombies lmfao

 

[Aureon]

Dream team of the bombastic right there.

I can already tell this is going be an amazing, if bumpy, ride.

 

[Envelope]

steampunk zombies lmfao

just needs tiny hats

 

[Toxi]

Oh, so it's Attack on Titan with trains.

 

[God Dayumm]

Dream team of the bombastic right there.

I can already tell this is going be an amazing, if bumpy, ride.

yes!

 

[chrisPjelly]

Lmfao at least the art looks nice and being anime original means there shouldn't be issues with adaptation pacing

 

[MHWilliams]

Hey Steampunk Attack on Titan.

 

[PranooY]

Looks nice. Will definitely watch, don't care if its steampunk AOT or not.

 

[yami4ct]

AoT team+Geass writer? This could either be the most amazingly bad thing ever or just unwatchable. Will keep an eye on.

 

[Ken]

Will they also be looking for a basement in this.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Attack on Zombies kind of makes this a hard pass for me. Although I did like the art in that promo, so maybe!

Kinda reminds me of that not-very-good-but-looked-neat First Squad.

 

[Brakke]

is the girl in the middle of tripping or

 

[Sealed]

Lol it's remarkable how similar this looks to AoT

Is it an anime original? I'll probably check it out. I liked the PV.

 

[Transhuman]

Code Geass creator Ichiro Okouchi is writing the scripts

All major character revelations will take place when a female character is naked, confirmed.

 

[Mortemis]

is the girl in the middle of tripping or

nah bruh it's art. only anime creators can give us such great posing

Real talk the fact that Sawano is making the ost probably means I'll be annoyed 90% of the time watching this. That poster looks nearly identical to some AoT ones when it comes to colors and glare, but that's what they're probably aiming for.

Don't really see anything worth getting excited about, but that's just me.

All major character revelations will take place when a female character is naked, confirmed.

I hope we have some well written and amazing scenes like the table-kun one in CG!

 

[Moonlight]

This music literally sounds like Sawano gave up.

This is the sameface of anime music.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Code Geass's writing for both story and characters was gutter trash. Horrid pacing too, but I would blame that more on the editor and director.

Entry level anime of 2016.

Akito the Exiled is a lot better I'd say.

Yeah? I might check it out then. I mean, it's an interesting premise, but marathoning both seasons of CG over a weekend was one of the most masochistic things I've ever done.

 

[Defuser]

Pls note that the writer also wrote Valvrave and a few episodes of Guilty Crown.

Which means it will be a glorious train wreck to watch.

 

[Aureon]

Whoever wrote this is the god-emperor of train wrecks anyway:

Oh fuck

 

[brawly]

They almost made it without using an AoT voiceactor...almost. Looks good though.

 

[Saprol]

wrote valvrave? now we're talking

 

[Freiya]

Off with your head! Code Geass definitely one of my top 5. ;D

 

[thetrin]

Looks neato. I'll check it out. Hopefully it isn't total garbage!

 

[Raxus]

I am in for the hatewatch.

 

[Firestorm]

did he write season two of code geass

 

[tringworldso]

Yeah? I might check it out then. I mean, it's an interesting premise, but marathoning both seasons of CG over a weekend was one of the most masochistic things I've ever done.

I can't believe anyone would watch a full show much less 2 seasons of something they don't enjoy. I can understand watching a 24 episode show like that but a 50 episodes hate watch??? Lol what the hell.

-------

At first I thought GC, CG and Valvrave were written by the same person. That isn't the case so to set the record straight:

Ichiro Okouchi is the one responsible for the Series Composition of Valvrave and Guilty Crown. He also wrote the majority of the script for Valvrave and Season 2 of Code Geass. He also co-wrote the Season 1 script of Code Geass with Yuuichi Nomura.

3 people were responsible for the script of Guilty Crown - Midori Gotou, Jin Haganeya and Hiroyuki Yoshino. Tetsurou Araki was the director.

HOWEVER, Gorou Taniguchi is the one responsible for the storyboards/creation/direction of Code Geass. He has nothing to do with Valvrave or Guilty Crown. Ichiro Okouchi collaborated with him on Code Geass as a co-creator.

-------

From what is known about this new show, Ichiro Okouchi is the writer and Tetsurou Araki (GC director) is the director.

Unrelated but nothing can beat the garbage that was Aldnoah Zero.

 

[Moaradin]

Wow they weren't even trying with those Attack on Titan similarities lol

 

[CaviarMeths]

Off with your head! Code Geass definitely one of my top 5. ;D

Good! I would wish my misery upon no one. I'm glad it was your jam and you enjoyed it.

 

[Mockingbird]

Just saw the PV for this. Holy crap this looks awesome! I love AoT so I'm excited for this with a different setting but same team!

 

[Branduil]

Wait, when are they releasing AoT s2 again? I thought it was going to be this year.

 

[InfiniteBento]

I saw this on facebook a while ago via Crunchyroll. I had never heard of it prior but I'm in.

It looks fucking incredible.

 

[JeffZero]

Ehh, zombies + Code Geass writer = I'm not sold. I'll keep an eye out, but personally it already kind of has two strikes against it.

Or at least, if the writing is anything like the tail end of Geass it does. But the zombies part in particular doesn't really interest me.

Then again, steampunk zombies... hmm...

 

[Mockingbird]

Wait, when are they releasing AoT s2 again? I thought it was going to be this year.

I'm guessing it will be the same season as S1 and it'll start in the summer. 2016 will be amazing with this and then right into AoT!

 

[deim0s]

What I'm getting from the trailer: Max Ma-esque escape with a train, zombies and all takes place in JP steampunk world.

 

[SolarPowered]

Looks like Attack on Titan mixed with Valkyria Chronicles and Left 4 Dead. Seems like they're throwing everything along with the kitchen sink at the wall here.

 

[duckroll]

I'm guessing it will be the same season as S1 and it'll start in the summer. 2016 will be amazing with this and then right into AoT!

I wouldn’t count on it. S2 might not even happen this year at this rate.

 

[Branduil]

I wouldn’t count on it. S2 might not even happen this year at this rate.

Is Studio WIT run by GRRM?

 

[duckroll]

Is Studio WIT run by GRRM?

No, because they're still releasing shows.

 

[MartyStu]

Whoever wrote this is the god-emperor of train wrecks anyway:

I cackled. Loudly.

 

[so1337]

Did someone say Carabinieri?

 

[T-Rex.]

Never heard of this before, but it looks really good.

 

[Branduil]

No, because they're still releasing shows.

And GRRM is still releasing blog posts!
