>>162054608
God I am sucker for this kind of uniform.

>>162054608
You know the shitposter game on this show is going to be if it turns out to be shit blaming trigger entirely and if it turns out to be good ignoring trigger and praising only a-1 as if trigger had no role.

Looks good i'm interested.

>>162059242
It is nice to see the key visuals and CMs but there is a staff interview in that fucking magazine too. I wish somebody would scan that shit already or do a write up of it.

>>162054608
I thought she turns into a robot but she's piloting one instead?

>>162054608
A-1 is saving anime

I'm actually excited.
>A-1
They will make sure Trigger don't use their amateurish animation. Kiznaiver was really well produced

>>162059305
>staff interview in that fucking magazine too.
Sadly, it's not with some people who could spill many beans on the subject.

>>162054608

>Mecha pilot in a double breasted military uniform and skintight thighs

Muh dick

This is such a poor attempt at plagiarizing Evangelion.

They're not even hiding it. The teaser material might as well be Evangelion fan fiction. Tons of pointless sexual euphemism.
If they really wanted to follow in Evangelion's steps, they would first create a fun robot show, and only after they've succeeded in that, begin to stir in some meaning.

>>162062795
Shit bait post. Go back

>>162062621
I don't think she's the pilot, I think she's the mecha.

>>162063537

Dunno. Trigger still has Gridman (pure /m/) and Promare (Imaishi madness, everyone loves Imaishi mandess) set up for now.
This is going to be a robot show like Kuromukuro, Macross or whatever. Can be extremely popular but doesn't necessarily have to be.

Promare will most likely be the endless action trip that so many people wish for with Trigger shows.

And obviously, we're going to see endless shitposting brigades going both ways as to why theirs is the AOTY and the opposite one is the dredge for imbeciles/normies/reddit/...

>>162063837
Promare AOTY I'm telling you.

>>162054608
So what is A1's involvement in this? Production? Animation? Writing? Design?

>>162064104
It's Goripon who have half of creative control in this project.
But yeah...he already sell his soul to A1 so that's it.

None of the new trigger anime are going to be as good as even shit like KlK because they're all cooperation with other studios.
We'll just get watered down versions of previous trigger anime.

Where?
XFLAG is a studio specializing in 3D.

>>162064288
KlK was at least a genuine attempt at making a good anime. It didn't turn out perfect, but instead of trying meme projects, they should have tried to make a better anime than KlK.

>>162063697
nope. that will be Imashi's show.

>>162064371
>but instead of trying meme projects, they should have tried to make a better anime than KlK
But KLK was also a wacky meme show
Only serious show they have done is Kiznaiver

>>162064421
KlK was trying to be fun, their other meme projects are just joke projects made ironically.

Kiznaiver was trying to be wacky and introspective on the nature of relationships, and it just ended up a failure like 99% of okada anime.

>>162064421
>Only serious show they have done is Kiznaiver
That was serious show?
Sorry I thought it was comedy seeing how the characters acted in it on some relationship drama.
Gurren Lagan was more serious than Kiznaiver which was very cheaply written show for dramafags.

>>162064653
Dont know why you are bringing up GL into this
Because its a legitimate show unlike everything Trigger has done

>>162064306
Shut up about your seasonal waifu please.

>>162064653
Okada is a melodrama writer.
That style of writing is about exaggerating the comedic and dramatic aspect as much as possible. One episode its a masochist jizzing in his pants and the other is ITAI.

It tried to be both serious and comedic basically.

Literally who? That doesn't confirm how their CG is going to be used regardless (because newsflash, every anime use "CG" now)
I hope the mecha are 3D (because Imaishi is just better as a CG action director than tweening master, let's be honest, not to mention the absolute death of every good 2D mecha animators) but there's no way to know right now if it's going to be full CG/part CG/only CG for post-processing and cars

>>162054608
LWA was pure shit so no

>>162068229
>Literally who?

You tell me. Promare is a XFLAG/Trigger anime.
You can watch what they worked on, on their youtube channel.

The key visual looked like CG render to me, but who knows.

>>162068539
Well, it doesn't looks awful, but I doubt they'll make everything with CGI exclusively. What would Trigger even do, then?

>>162068539
>>162068229
>>162064371
Investigate harder. X-Flag doesn't produce anime, X-Flag is a game company. It's Mixi's game division. They do Monster Strike, the current biggest smartphone game in Japan. What you see on X-Flag's YT is the Monster Strike anime adaptation they produce, they don't animate it.

>>162068825
>game company
even more worrying desu

>>162068809
He got it wrong. Because XFLAG is a game company. XFLAG's presence in Promare will be putting in tons of money, having some degree of creative control and making serious game tie-in content. Like Bandai Namco with the Idolmaster adaptations except this is an original.

>>162068874
Maybe. It means it will be high-budget as fuck, but who knows if they will impose some creative constraints on Trigger. XFLAG definitely wants Propare to be a big franchise sorta deal.

Actually Xflag pictures animated the second season.
There is some sort of relationship between Sanzigen, Ultra best pictures, Trigger and Xflag. I'm too lazy at the moment to look very deep into it but I think Good smile is at the core of it somehow.

>>162063837
>Promare (Imaishi madness, everyone loves Imaishi mandess)

I don't know, he made the claim during KlK production that he was tearing up scripts because they didn't "make the drill in his heart spin" and it turned out lackluster in the end. Around the time of the reveal at AX and the statement that fans of TTGL and KlK would enjoy it, there was apparently a similar claim about the script. For all the hype building he does, he better deliver something spectacular. It'll be fun to watch either way but I want it to be incredible.

Gridman I'm sure will be great, given the Animator Expo version and how /m/ it is. I don't know what to make of DARLING in the FRANXX as every new bit of information we get makes it look completely different from the last but it's been a while since we had good, original mecha series.

X-FLAG had some amazing CG on the shorts they produced as advertising for the Monster Strike movie, but I doubt a show would look that good. Bonus points for Diana's VA on Lucifer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxP0C6n8aVA

>>162069356
That's impressive and way better than Polygon pictures.
I'm betting they realized that the Dragon strike brand is over shadowing them and they wanted to produce an original anime to show off their talents.

She sits in the robot. And merges her consciousness with the robot. She feels everything that the robot feels. Together with the guy, who just has a normal control pit, they pilot the robot. Every FranXX works like this. The pilot that fuses their consciousness with the robot can only be female, the other one can be of any gender.

>It's literally just Asuka and Shinji

When they said this anime will appeal to classic Gainax fans, they should have just said we're letting the imas staff rip off Eva.

Not the most inspired names.
So far the description itself doesn't seem super inspired basically being "boy meets girl with incredible will power and is amazed by it". I am keeping with it because of the Trigger touch but we will see how it pans out.

Had the same thought with G-Reco but it's more because 002's outfit is similar to Aida's and 016 is wearing shorts like Bellri. The rest of the uniform isn't so similar.

>>162070532
Some art of the girl actually gives me more of a Misato vibe than an Asuka vibe. Probably the hat, though. How are we supposed to call her, anyway? Her name is literally Zerotwo.

>>162071156
They're supposed to have no name because they are expendable kids that are just meant to pilot the FranXX. They're going for the edgy child soldier angle. One of the dialogue in the PVs was "Let's run away, together."

>>162071156
They're called nameless children and they are assigned numbers instead of real names.
They somehow have a way to farm kids who can pilot the devil mecha. The mecha most likely ends up consuming the kids somehow.

>>162070905
Madhouse has been a studio for 44 years while for Bones it's 18 years.
You cannot just compare a studio with only 6 years behind its back to those 2. Sure it was part of Gainax doesn't mean it has the amount of staffs, animators or funding that those 2 studios have.

>>162071573

'Trigger saves anime' has always been a meme. It was never serious. Have you ever seen 'saves anime' associated with anything else other than Trigger, or anyone meaning it seriously? Well, ignore that last part. Some take that seriously, but they are mostly retarded.
Do watch Inferno Cop though.

>>162071156
>>162071340
I hope they get actual names over the course of the series, or rather, choose their own. It's going to suck if the translators don't pick up on obvious meaning that would be lost in such a moment, like, if one of them takes the name of a bird. This is why TL notes should have remained a common practice.

Producer (Trigger X A1 X Aniplex) Interview:
>Nishigori had been wanting to do an original since he finished with the Idolmaster movie 2 years ago
>Nishigori wanted everyone that had worked with him on TTGL, PSG and IMAS so he personally recruited everyone. Nishigori himself went to both Trigger and A1 and suggested the collaboration. Nishigori said that he wouldn't have gone along with the project if he didn't get both studios on board. Masayoshi Tanaka got involved via the A1 producer.
>Originally, Wakabayashi from Trigger was worried because it felt like the methodology of Trigger and A1 conflicted with each other but he felt that such combo would create something interesting.
>A1 is actually letting Trigger handle most of the creative process. Planning, design, concept, content; that is all handled by Trigger. A1 focuses more on making sure the vision gets to the screen.
>Aniplex Producer: Trigger is wild. Nishigori is inexperienced with action so he is letting Imaishi and the guys at Trigger handle that. A1 will make sure that the work delivers solid and consistent animation. Imaishi's crew creates exciting action sequences while Tanaka as Chief Animation Director works on the depiction of the characters.
>The entire work is basically Nishigori's wet dream. Everything about the work is Nishigori.
>The hardest part of the work was the logistics between the collaboration, but they've already sorted that out and have good organization.
>Trigger's culture is heavily driven by "design" that A1 does not have. In Trigger, the design process is probably what takes the most.
>Nishigori was all "if Imaishi doesn't do it we can't do this" and left the action sequences to to Imaishi's imagination. Nishgori wants people to watch the show and realize that nobody other than Imaishi could have done the action scenes.

>>162072143
>A1 focuses more on making sure the vision gets to the screen.

This is how it's always been, they are linemonkeys.

>>162072143
Sounds like bullshit
Did you come up with it anon?

>>162072143
>They let Imaishi go wild because they want a real feel of contrast with the human drama of the non-action scenes. They have wild action scenes from episode 1.
>There are some episodes fully produced at A1 and episodes fully produced at Trigger, but all the action scenes are storyboarded at Trigger under Imaishi's supervision. Nishigori himself picked which episodes were better suit for Trigger and which were better for A1.

>>162072298
It was slightly too long, here is the source: http://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1502253579

I didn't translate some stuff about Aniplex producer promising "big names!" working on animation or storyboards because that's usual Aniplex shilling.

>>162072143
>A1 focuses more on making sure the vision gets to the screen
Strewth, the quality of the animation is going to drop a couple of episodes in.

>>162072375
The quality is always low when Trigger is involved

>The entire work is basically Nishigori's wet dream. Everything about the work is Nishigori.
Enlighten me /a/. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

>>162072466
Idolmaster was great, I trust him, seems like he knows what he's doing.

>>162072419
Trigger are rather consistent with their quality. Sure, they might have slightly shittier animation for episodes that don't matter as much, but at least the quality doesn't linearly degrade like A1.
A most recent example of this is Fate/Apocrypha - the animation in the first three or so episodes was rather fluid, but you can visibly notice the degradation of quality in later episodes. Even the fights feel cheaper.

>>162072693
>quality doesn't linearly degrade
Not possible when its always at its lowest

>>162072693
A1 has different mini-studios inside. They're separated by the animation producer. While F/A and GBF were pretty inconsistent, Occultic;Nine was consistent as fuck, for example.

>>162072768
Kiznaiver was consistent as fuck and while LWA had dips in quality in their outsourced episodes it was consistent when Trigger was producing in-house and they had big animation episodes like 3, 8, 13, 18 or 25.

>>162072790
I was actually suprised by that. Oreimo and Eromanga were also rather consistent, as well.

>>162073043
So they can do slice of life stuff consistently but fall apart on action. Shouldn't this collaboration be great for them? Since it seems Trigger will be handling the action. We know Hori is heavily involved again.

>>162073440
Birdy decode blows away everything Trigger has done action wise

I'm gonna come out and say it.
The only good thing about Trigger is Yoh Yoshinari's skill.

>>162073731
In visuals, that is. The story was shit in both.

>>162073764
Hori? The discovery of Ikarashi Kai?

>>162073772
They didn't have to animate much in either show and outside that dance sequence for Eromanga it wasn't that impressive visually

>>162073764
>Yoh Yoshinari

He barely animate anything and we know he's a shit director now.

>>162073516
>Birdy decode
Why do Sakugafags love that awful looking garbage so much

>>162073764
Yet he animated like 1 sequence in Trigger's latest show and LWA wasn't well directed, at least in my opinion.

>>162073925
I don't think Yoshinari has particularly strong director bones in him. The LWA movies had great animation and inventive designs but their direction didn't really stand out. Yoshinari didn't storyboard all the most iconic scenes in the TV show, either. He doesn't have a strong style like Imaishi.

>>162074005
Yoshinari also lets himself be influenced too easily while Imaishi will always do whatever he wants, no matter how stupid it is.

>>162054608
>praise trigger

So the first few episodes will be noice and then it will quickly go downhill?

>>162073826
Shit, my whole post got deleted, so I'll summarise the important points as I don't have much time right now.
That's more or less what consistency means. They did not bait you in with really nice animation (for TV standards), only to drop it a couple of episodes in.
You're right that there's not much animating to do in a SOL series, but still, not once did I feel that they were using the cheapest animators - the animation did not feel "cheap".

>>162073827
I thought it was obvious that I'm talking about his animation solely. He's so bad at directing that nobody would consider it a skill of his.

>>162064371
xflag is a mobile phone game company isn't it?

>>162075943
They're Mixi's game division.

>>162075943
They do animation too under the name XFLAG pictures or sometimes just XFLAG.
