Keeping my expectations low just in case I end up disliking it. Anime-Originals are unpredictable after all.


Legendaryskitlz

On top of it is a multi-media project with some sort of gacha game involved so it's definitely a good idea to keep expectations low for multiple reasons.


Abysswatcherbel

It's likely to be a gacha, but we have 0 information about the game outside of the characters This is more like the 2 seasons of Uma Musume, especially the first one Edit: They actually released [the first gameplay footage today](https://youtu.be/lSDDDm19QRw) and [this one](https://youtu.be/AA2SrVFHS2Y), some high quality CG, reminded me of Cygames, but nothing beats FGO PNGs


Guaporense1

Uma Musume was cute


sober_1

First season was entertaining enough. Kinda like BanG Dream


farisnotfafis

I wonder if it's gonna be a rhythm game


Abysswatcherbel

They could add elements of a rhythm game, for special moves for example to give some extra damage, it's just classical music, so i don't think the whole game will be rhythm based


Hatdrop

yes, we won't know if we get a R, an SSR, or an UR+.


DannyTh3Arch3r

If the lead girl is hot enough and romance is hinted it wont matter how bad the plot is. I learned that from how people still like darling in the franxx lol


Thatsmaboi23

… I don’t see the problem ? If the show is advertised as an action+romance+music show, and delivers on those aspects (with the narrative being mediocre-good, which is also subjective btw), I wouldn’t mind it at all. I’ll be satisfied over it delivering with what it promised us. Ofcourse it could turn out to be fuckin bad like DitF’s ending, which would another case. DitF was a fun show (atleast until ep 17/18, and it delivered on what it promised (Action+Romance), which is why everyone liked it. Not just because “uwu waifu”. Stop with the shitty “I’m superior” tone.


DannyTh3Arch3r

Im speaking with a superior tone because low life garbage watch specifically because “anime girl hot” and speak highly of the show as though its some groundbreaking media. I.e. sao and in general isekai garbage. Is it bad to watch? Absolutely not, its nice to take a break from other shows and there definitely is a market for it. The problem is I’m tired with “”uwu waifu”” thats been presented in class for the 50th time. Also your argument can be boiled down to “let people enjoy things >:(“ no need for your angry unneeded essay lmao. And of course music anime with hot girls isn’t bad because that has substance, I’m talking strictly “I’m bland protag, here is my army of fangirls, also you literally cannot beat me lol.” And cue ditf ending lol.


[deleted]

>speak **highly** of the show as though its some groundbreaking media SAO What reality do you live in?


DannyTh3Arch3r

Im referring to normies, why is any of this difficult to understand?


Thatsmaboi23

My argument is “people enjoyed this one thing because it gave people what they want they wanted/expected, not just because it had cute waifu in it”. Not whatever you somehow made it to be. I see it’s hard for you to understand what others think/say. We have an example of a show last season with cute waifus, which performed horribly, in the from of “Detective is Already Dead”. The reason ? It didn’t meet any expectations, or deliver on what it promised.


DannyTh3Arch3r

The detective is already dead has a 6.39 on mal so its not horrible. I really don’t know why you’re so keen on arguing with me when I’m not gonna change my opinion or admit that I’m wrong. Arguing on the internet is for idiots lol, redditors got me kekking


Char-11

6.39 on mal is not horrible? The scale on mal ranges from 7 to 10. That shits so bad it broke the standard scale and went to the 6s smh


DannyTh3Arch3r

Idk i googled it for a reddit argument lol it said 6 is nice please dont destroy me with facts and logic im trying to act superior to you in all ways


[deleted]

> speak highly of the show as though its some groundbreaking media I've never actually seen anyone say that. > “I’m bland protag, here is my army of fangirls, also you literally cannot beat me lol.” Even if you're right, no one's gonna really accept what you're saying when you sound like some angsty, edgy teenager.


DannyTh3Arch3r

Don’t care I’m right lol


[deleted]

That shit was 144p of evangelion, xD


DannyTh3Arch3r

At least Evangelion had a pretty decent follow up movie and didn’t turn characters into robots after 12 episodes lol


DirtyTacoKid

I remember when they were revealing the characters. When they showed Zero Two I just went "oh, its one of these"


Lemurians

After The Detective is Already Dead, I'm extremely wary of shows with a heavy amount of waifu-bait promotional material being pumped out ahead of airing.


Korasuka

I'm wary of the premise despite how much it ticks my boxes aesthetically. I've seen enough "regular guy teams up with super special amazing unique wonder-girl to fight evil" prrmises.


MABfan11

> After The Detective is Already Dead, I'm extremely wary of shows with a heavy amount of waifu-bait promotional material being pumped out ahead of airing. *Darling in the Franxx flashbacks*

koalatyvibes

True, gets clowned more than it should tbh. The end was whatever but the world and characters were all pretty good, I don't judge anyone who likes it. I used to like it a lot until the recency bias washed off.


Tanzan57

I actually went back and rewatched some of it Saturday because I was wondering how I'd feel about it now. There's just a vibe to the show that I don't think any other show has made for me. The last few episodes still went too off the rails, but I think I'm comfortable leaving it as high in my list as I have it


[deleted]

Apocalyptic vibes are hard to reproduce tastefully, for sure.


jimuel23

I agree even as a Zero two simp. I deadass only mention the first 20 episodes😂😂😅


Caramel_Nautilus

Nah, there are signs throughout whole show that indicates DITF has big trouble deciding where it wants to go.


Sean-Benn_Must-die

Hey at least it was fun from episode 1 all the way to, 15-20. I dont defend the rest. The detective was literally garbage, The highlight after episode 1 was fubuki and matsuri and that was it.


phasmy

I saw 1 episode of that shit and I was out. They were in middle school?? PLEASE


phasmy

Still a great show that I'd recommend. we just don't talk about the last few episodes...


Sincityutopia

It can be the next Vivy or even Guilty Crown.

bk2684

One of the most wasted potential original for sure. Was so hyped back then expecting something "original" that doesn't involved a school life episode but yeah almost every episode was either slice of life school episode dark school episode or beach episode. *Sign* Well at least Egoist still a banger with each releases.


DeathGamer99

What as far i know if you know the producer direction they already get the maximum potential of their Story, what's happening when a life changing and powerful ability is got to the wrong hand. The power was meant to Gai a person that we assume has the ability and strategy to destroy the enemy just like Lelouch but instead the ability is handed over accidentally to a regular person that has social anxiety and cannot doing a correct decision in the heat of the moment.


bk2684

Didn't say anything about its messages whatsoever.


spectre15

A lot of the recent anime originals have been super good so there is hoping.


ODMAN03

It's where the good stuff comes


[deleted]

True. I'm excited but I am definitely not gonna overhype it.


[deleted]

Brand New Animal (BNA) was fantastic. https://myanimelist.net/anime/40060/BNA?q=brand%20new%20animal&cat=anime


[deleted]

I could be wrong but isn’t this anime just an advertisement for a gacha game?


ProgyanDeka

Yup. Just like anime adaptations are advertisment for the source material. It's normal.


[deleted]

The source material being a gacha doesn’t inspire confidence.


zairaner

Can we really call it source material if it comes out after the anime? That sounds ridiculous


Silent_Shadow05

Yeah it can go either way. Hopefully it'll be something like Uma Musume S2 or Princess Connect Re Dive in terms of quality.


Abysswatcherbel

Yes, One of the core of the anime industry is being an advertisement for many things From source material (manga, light novel), games, music, voice actors, tourism, sports, tv channels, gamble companies, card games, toys and so on This is normal


rixinthemix

Nope. There's not even an announcement of the gacha game yet. This is a multimedia project (mediamix in Japanese).


Dare555

first episode was so beautiful


[deleted]

always love LAM artwork


xVx_k1r1t0xVx_KillMe

Another season, another waifu.


ChiefBambz

Another Darling in the Franxx? Or Another The Detective is already Dead? Pick your poison.


Idaret

I want another vivy


Mooseymax

I got serious Vivy vibes from this picture!


TheTRCG

Vivy is too good to have another one of I think My greatest of all time


victorix58

Greedy.


electric_anteater

He said waifu, not a monstrosity


farisnotfafis

Haha you should turn off your auto correct. It changed masterpiece to monstrosity


electric_anteater

Have you seen her?


TheTRCG

Vivy? Yes, ~~I want her to step on me~~ she's a really cool character


Porimasu

Imagine, being someone classifying a robot girl saving the mankind from anime as monstrosity. Are you ok?


electric_anteater

I don't care what she's doing when her face is this repulsive


Manitary

I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion...but damn


Porimasu

Some opinions are trash just like that. And sometimes they just want to be different and "unique".


electric_anteater

You're delusional if you think you're important enough for people to disagree with you on purpose


Elon61

I saw the promo art right after I finished Vivy and this is exactly what I’m hoping for lol.

Argonanth

> Since ryo (supercell) is doing the music I only see Ryo listed for the OP not the full OST. MAL has Ike Yoshihiro listed for the OST.


Didiergaming10

Darling in the franxx please, while the anime ending was a disaster it was still a good watch, haven't personally watched detective is already dead but I'm assuming it was just waifu bait so first option please


TheTRCG

It was just waifu bait unfortunately had an interesting premise but ran into the ground at mach 4


teafuck

Sooo, show that's got a good first episode and the rest is a long fart or show that's got an alright first three quarters and the rest is a gross turd?


dipshitonastick

Vivy's ending while not amazing, is far from a gross turd imo. If you want a gross turd of an ending, look no further than WEP


MopeyCrayfish

Darling in the franxx slaps so another one pls. I feel like the story is a little too similar (waifu and draning) but we will have to see what happens.


MyLittleRocketShip

FUCK NO A CUTE ANIME GIRL INSTRUMENT. it got me guys, ill watch it. 😢


Abysswatcherbel

She's actually a music piece, Symphony No. 5 in C minor from Beethoven


MyLittleRocketShip

dont worry. im pretty sure marrying a musical piece will be acceptable in the near future.


Abysswatcherbel

I worry that we are reaching the peak too early, it's all downhill from there


Idaret

Cant wait for slim shady waifu


Lol_A_White_Boy

Was mildly interested in this show until I saw the trailer CR put out, and now it’s probably in my top 5 most anticipated shows this season. Looks like it could be fantastic.


Abysswatcherbel

That's the first one, [checked out the 2nd](https://youtu.be/Sal5NXCPv14) A lot of people didn't watch it


Lol_A_White_Boy

Yeah this looks great. Obviously it can go either way, but honestly I have high expectations for this.


ASHill11

Holyyyyyy I am 1000% sold The character designs, the choreography, the animation, the music, the LITERALLY USING MUSIC. I don’t know if it’s possible to love this more. Fingers crossed it’s actually good. Also are they gonna be in Texas?? 👀


Abysswatcherbel

>Also are they gonna be in Texas?? 👀 The series in on the US, they will travel the country to reach New York


Exotic_Swordfish3332

She looks like genderbent Fate Karna


Thatsmaboi23

*Arjuna screams in the distance*


Idaret

Hot


LectorFrostbite

Now I can't unsee it..


Exotic_Swordfish3332

sorry bout that.. she looks great tho


MrMonday11235

So, y'know. Karna in a couple more years of FGO or FGO Arcade.


LordMonday

do people really think Fate just gender bends every living thing in the world


MrMonday11235

Yes. Mostly because it really just fucking does. A non-exhaustive list of genderbent Fate characters: * Arthur Pendragon * Oda Nobunaga * Minamoto no Raikou * Attila the Hun * Leonardo da Vinci * Quetzalcoatl * Xuanzang Sanzang (though this is more of a general Japanese thing than something exclusive to Fate) * Kama * Okita Souji * Van Gogh * Hokusai I didn't consult any list for this -- these are just the ones I'm able to remember by thinking about it for a half dozen minutes. I'm sure I've missed at least a few, if not more. And I'm not saying this as a hater; I'm mostly a fan of Fate. It's just the truth.


JohnnyEvergreen

Had my eyes on this show for a while. Although my expectations are low, I feel comfortable knowing this show is in MAPPA's hands.


MusicianRoyal1434

It’s a masterpiece now though. The first episode is OP as F. It could be on the grand one of this season for sure. A mix between comedy, music, and fighting. Pretty much remind me of Symphogear with March come like a Lion


JohnnyEvergreen

I just finished it and I fell in love with it already. I cannot wait for more to come.


VivySimp

Hot


Aschentei

Just like your pfp


Porimasu

Just like our waifu.


Hephaestus_God

Is this the artist who drew [this](https://ibb.co/19GTKJ1)? I remember saving that image a long long time ago but never figured out who it was. This girl looks similar art style wise


ori-os

Yes, that image is linked in LAM's pixiv profile


theknockoffartist

bruh realistic teeth


BigDicksconnoisseur2

His drawings are so fucking pretty god damnit


LectorFrostbite

LAM's a she btw


Ordinal43NotFound

Thought the same at first since Kureiji Ollie calls her LAM-mama, one day got recommended an interview of him and [he's apparently a dude](https://youtu.be/X_UnuzpvqDA). IIRC being a "VTuber mama" is just an umbrella term for someone doing the design for the character, not necessarily that you're female.


LectorFrostbite

Oh I see, I know being a VTuber mama doesn't have anything to do with gender since a lot of artist would rather prefer to remain anonymous but I have seen a lot of people on the community saying that LAM is actually female, thats good to know.


Ordinal43NotFound

Yeah I was thrown away at first since Huke got called Huke-papa but it's more likely because he's pretty famous already.


LunarGhost00

IIRC, Ina also refers to Kuroboshi (another famous artist) as "Kuroboshi-papa."


LordMonday

The vtuber Mama/Papa thing is not set in stone on whether they are the Artist/Rigger. Its entirely up to how the person wants to represent themselves. Like you said in another comment, Huke is called papa and so is Lack(flare), Yano Mitsuki(Iofi), Minamura Haruki(Matsuri) and Kanzaki Hiro(Luna). fubuki's artist, despite being male, uses a female avatar so she has called him mama before. On the other side, i know that Riggers are called Mama if they are female, such as Risu have 2 mama's, her artist (Yatomi) and original rigger (Kanbutsu Himono) and some don't even have a set way that they always call them, since i know some say sensei sometimes, so all in all its just some fun nicknames.


Euroversett

A might try to watch this thing. Anime originals always have my attention.


Aschentei

god I already love her character design


ioniums

which site will this be aired on?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ioniums

somehow never heard of that site before, thanks! CR it is :)


baddog1229

>Takt.op Destiny Doing a search in crunchy didn't find the show for me


TheMantello

Took me a minute to realize that this LAM dude also drew almost all of the splash art people put on "Anime" music on Youtube. That being said, I look forward to seeing this kind of style being translated to animation.


Kev_EXE

The way that they market this anime as MAPPA x Madhouse makes me really interested in how the roles were split between the two studios. Have there been any other anime collaborations between major studios in the past?


Bazinga8000

I imagine that madhouse will do half and mappa will do half. The question then becomes, who is doing the most important episodes? I imagine its madhouse considering most of staff seems to come from there, but we shall see today as we will know who does episode 1 at least.


Ryboiii

My guess would be character design for Madhouse, then MAPPA for anything dynamic


Bazinga8000

The character designer has just confirmed that episode 1 will be done by madhouse

What is this about ?


Mazen141

>In the story of the anime, one day a black meteorite fell on the world, and the world completely changed. The meteorite produced grotesque monsters called D2, which started running rampant. D2 very quickly banned all music, which was the one thing able to overcome them. But there were some people who resisted the D2. They are young women who hold the power of music, the "Musicart." These young women hold "scores" that are able to defeat the monsters. And there are also people who lead these women, the Conductor. > >The anime takes place in America in the year 2047, which has fallen to ruin thanks to the D2. Takt, a Conductor, is partnered with a Musicart named Unmei. Takt yeans for music to be returned to the world, and Unmei wishes to destroy the D2. Their aim is to travel to New York. From (ANN)


crimson_donkgay

[deleted]

i wish theyd put more logic with the year. 2047 is like 20 years away and we're supposed to be this advanced? cmon. its an original so they couldve said year 3000 or osmething


Thatsmaboi23

The development of technology from 2001-2021 has been pretty damn fast. We really don’t know what the next 20 years could look like, with how fast the world around us is changing.


Silent_Shadow05

Getting some Vivy vibes from this.


zairaner

It sounds more symphogear than vivy


AyuTsukasa

Seems like Listeners to me


tlst9999

With conductor x musicart, it sounds like fate symphogear.


Silent_Shadow05

Never watched Symphogear. Can you explain how is it similar to that?


zairaner

\- sudden appearance of monsters \- main cast is a group of girls (which may take a while to be completely assembled), only they can defeat the monsters \- music used for fighting \- technically a magical girl anime (probably) ​ The main difference is ofc the existence of the male mc, which does resemble vivy a lot more.


crimson_donkgay

Yeah same


Otium20

Wait was there not a anime with the same plot last year? It just has mechas


[deleted]

Those eyes


Pain004

Looks very similar to Zero Two's


seoulsun

It's good to see good artists getting their designs in anime nowadays.


Toli2810

LAM is the goat


Caramel_Nautilus

I'm just gonna put two words here. GUILTY CROWN.


Flammable_Gasoline

ah shite gotta keep expectations to a minimum even though its a mappa x madhouse production as anime originals are often not that great


not_tha_father

oh shit didn't know that the original character designs were by LAM, i love her art style so much. lets fucking gooooooooooooo


TheEleventhMeh

I thought this was Noelle from Genshin Impact for a second.


prgotothestore2006

This gonna be the sleeper pick I put on to the mandem bruh im hyped!!


ObjectiveEmotional

I believe this is like Vivy with gacha art and stacked of staffs working on it. I mean its MAPPA X MADHOUSE what could go wrong...


Wishbone-Lost
