I want it now

>>157872062
>Character Design: Hiroshi Yakou (Flying Witches sound director)
What the fuck a sound director doing design

>>157872054
>no elf
into the trash it goes
what were they thinking, lodoss was only popular because it had elves

Does that mean we will finally get a good high fantasy again?

I want a Deedlit and Parn cameo.

>>157872054
>boy meets girl

It's not 90's anymore.

>A-1 Shit
dropped

>>157872951

It that's how you define the 90s then yes it fucking is.

>>157872054
Will Deedlit come out?

>>157872054
Grancrest Senki? The manga just got scanlated

>>157872054
Oh great, another sequel anime relying solely on it's brand to bait people into watching it until they realize it's trash.

>>157872985
Dont reply to /lgbt/

>>157872715
It probably has DnD mechanics, since Lodoss was based off a campaign the creators played.

I'm completely fucking fed up with medial fantasy settings. No anime has ever done anything interesting with generic D&D settings, they just rehash the same races, creatures, magic and scenarios. Can't wait for the meme to die again like in the 2000's.

>Generic new age JRPG overdesigned characters instead of the down to earth aesthetic that the original had

It's already shit.

>>157872062
Pretty good. I doubt this will have any connection to the original beyond a few cameos but oh well.

>>157873209
>everything is a meme
How about you die instead?

>>157873307
>I don't know what meme means

>>157873331
That's right, you don't.

>meme
>mēm/
>noun
>noun: meme; plural noun: memes

>an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
You can stop pretending now.

BUT WHERE'S THE DWARFS?
WHERE ARE MY DWARFS?

>>157872054
Valkyrie best girl.

>>157872054
Is that ths series where this mage girl goes around playing 4D chess against an enemy faction while getting a harem of fucbois?
It's interesting.

>>157872054
>generic jRPG with male MC

It's going to be shit.

>>157874042
Suck my cock, faggot.

>>157873184
Lodoss didn't run on DnD mechanics, though. There were no mentions of stats, level ups, rolls or anything like that. Hopefully this could be the same.

But I do worry that it'll be too video gamey. A-1 Pictures made Grimgar, which was pretty good, but the video game mechanics were a bit distracting.

>>157872054
That generic designs
JUST
I hope at least making a proper fantasy/medieval history as Lodoss instead of SAO and Isekai bullshit.

High fantasy is boring, especially with lame animu characters.

I hope you are ready for those sub 2k sales and all sales threads laughing at it while Japan ignores it exists.

He's an animator and he worked on Flying Witches as an animation director, that poster is just retarded (also listed Satoshi Yano instead of Shunsaku Yano). And any generic-ness in the designs would be the fault of the original illustrator, not the animation character designer, we haven't even seen the anime version of the characters yet.

yurishitters on suicide watch

I would like to see a fantasy anime that isn't about the end of the world.

>>157872652
>>boob plate
>IT'S SHIT
She is meant to be a Valkyrie I think, and the boob plate thus is a reference to Wagner singers.

>>157874148
There are no stats, level ups, rolls or anything like that in this show.
My country have localized of this LN (ESL country thats why my english is shit)

>>157874650
Wanting a harem bullshit?

>>157874042
>>>/u/
Stay there.

>>157874846
How about questing systems or things like 100s=1g? Stuff like that made up a big part of what was annoying in Grimgar

>No using ASTHETIC ARMORS
FUCK

If this is another world does it count as isekai?

>>157872054
It's actually by Mizuno himself, I'm in.
The only thing bugging me is that from the thumbnail it looks much more in line to the modern light fantasy crap you see now in isekai all the time, rather than something more in line with how Lodoss was.

>>157875119
No, you baka.

The manga has three chapters out
You can see how it is

>>157875119
Yes, that's literally what isekai means.

Neat. I've read the 3 chapters of the manga that are out and it's bretty cool, and it's got some prime breeding material in it too.

>>157875257
Thanks for the tip, anon, I will check it out.

>>157875119
No, they had to have changed the world for it to be isekai. Like in Berserk, when the world changed since Griffith became the godhand, making it isekai.

>>157872054
10/10 anime if Louie and his gang show up in an episode

>>157874148
>>157875042
Not sure why you're really comparing this and Grimgar anyway. Both are light novels by different authors and not original A-1 productions. All they're doing is adapting them.

>>157872054
Theses charctesr looks more like typical LN iskeai bullshit.

>>157875257
>Your favourite h-artist went mainstream for this

I hope it will do well.

>>157872773
Some people have multiple talent and experience unlike you.

Isn't this genre is dead in Japan because modern kids only relates to isekai?

Is it finally happening, is the isekai flood gonna break?

>>157880817
Designs are trash and look nothing like Lodoss-period functional designs, A-1 doing the animation is the final nail.
It's trash.

It will never match the brilliance of the original, just compare the overdesigned "designs" in the OP to original Lodoss.
The new turd looks like utter shit.

Posting the best OP.

Do yourself a favour and watch the original OVA series, especially since it got a beautiful HD remaster on BD.

I will never understand this A-1 hate meme

>>157881230
A-1 is one of the worst studios around, it's not a meme. They've got very poor animators.

Both Granblue and Eromanga have good visuals
But you dont watch those shows so you wouldnt know

https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/33758
They are one of the better studios

>>157881503
Kyoani only makes 1 or 2 shows a year and they butcher the script by adding original anime shit

>>157881503

Kyoani stuff might be visually all right but most of the time the shows themselves are pretty bad.
