>>15655363
Eh, I got enough to look forward to that it's cool.

>>15655363
I'm still just happy that it IS getting released at all, so I'm not complaining.

Please tell me someone was recording the footage at the event. At least I want to know how it looks.

>Background art looks worse
>Some shots look really close to the KyoAni art style others don't and look more 'modern'/flat.
>Arm Slaves look the best they've ever been. Just insane amount of detail.
>Coloring is closer to Argevollen. Kurtz hair is almost a neon yellowish.
>The character art level generally looks between Gonzo and KyoAni level. Some shots such as Tessa and Mardukas on the sub looked great.
>We didn't see any 'sakuga' moments (something with a lot of motion in it), so I can't say anything about the actual character animation.
>Backgrounds were kind of disappointing as there was a lot of CGI in them. There was a shot of a hangar siren going off and a city explosion.
>Colorwise it's more colorful than I expected. It's definitely along the lines of Keijo and Argevollen.
>You can tell Xebec is dumping all their resources onto the mechanical side. The decision to animate Arbalest's eyes make a huge difference.
>Pure hypothesis but they might still be working on the backgrounds and they're just not done.
>They had a shot of the TDD moving forward towards the camera and it onviously looked better than the Gonzo/KyoAni version but still CGI.
>Photography-wise I'm not sure Takashi Aoki is director of photography. It didn't really look like him. We didn't see any UI stuff either.
>There are worrying points such as lighting and background art.
>I will say this,the characters look near identical to the KyoAni designs although updated a bit.I initially thought they played old footage.
>Gatoh also promised no expositionary episodes and that the new series will be "full throttle from the beginning".

I'm guessing it's this

>>15655363
Happy. The longer garbage stays away, the better.

It's called "Invisible Victory"

literally the only thing that matters, looking forward to it

more turn-on hair cut scene, and make them fuck once for all.

Granted, I've always thought that's what her name was supposed to be because Teletha isn't a name and shortening it to Tessa doesn't make any sense, but still.

I was afraid that it could have looked similar to the artworks from the Audio Drama episodes they have been uploading to youtube, but this looks great!

Just 9 months to go.

Closeup of FMP IV settei at Kadokawa's booth.

It's also worth pointing out on the settei that the Behemoth is for episodes 2-4 which mean COMO is likely to last 4 episodes.

Those are the M9s with the Lambda Driver cancellers, right?

so like is it going to be full cg or just the sub.

if its cg i wont watch it and it will be shit

but if its not cg ill give it a chance and maybe it will not be shit

I mean, its not as if this series is capable of pulling a logos or a gaim on us. Its fmp it cant ever be that bad? Right guise?

>>15658605

We do have shows with perfectly serviceable 3D animation, and of all studios, should it come to that, Xebec would have that market cornered. You know, being the guys responsible for 2199 and for enlisting Orange to help with Fafner titles. Exodus was great in its use of CG.

So, where the fuck's Laevantein supposed to be?

>>15658609
Isn't Xebec also responsible for Break Blade? That had really detailed 2D mecha animation.

>>15658614
In the second half of the season? The behemoths are listed as episodes 2-4 if I'm understanding it correctly so it'll take about that long for the Arbalest to even get wrecked assuming the events are played side by side. By that pacing it would put Laevatein somewhere around episode 10-12.

>>15658586
The texts indicates its the US Army M9. And no M9s had cancellers. Only Laevatein did. The Falke had Fairy Eyes, which "sees" the lambda field. Not sure if other M9s had it.

>>15658570
Is this an upgrade to the Behemoth or just a re-design like what happened to the Arbalest between season 1 and TSR?
>>15658575
I assume this is the American prototype of the M9.

>>15658570
>It's also worth pointing out on the settei that the Behemoth is for episodes 2-4
>COMO will be the first arc.
>DVMC will not be animated.
Feels bad man.

>>15658671
Oh right, just Fairy Eyes, not Feather. Although I'm not remembering it very well, I'm pretty sure Mao's and Kurz's M9s got the Fairy Eyes too.

>>15658570
Wait, there's more behemoth fights?

>>15658747
3 instances:
Merida Island Raid, Laevatein debut, and the final battle.

>>15658747
Right around the final fight of the Sigma manga after the ARX-8 Laevatein was introduced

>>15658738
They did, I'm certain of it.

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH

>>15655363
Good.

No need to rush it, i've already waited a long time a couple months won't do anything.

Rushing will only lead to shit quality.

>>15658747
They come back, but mostly end up jobbing to show off the ARX-8's demolition gun

>>15659087
That's a guarantee either way.

What are COMO and DVMC. I don't remember these acronyms.

>>15660262
Continuing On My Own and Dancing Very Merry Christmas
The 7th and 6th novels, respectively

>>15660262
DVMC = Dancing Very Merry Christmas

>>15657555
Everything about Tessa's brother and the plot around him that I'm assuming they'll be featuring in this anime is incredibly dumb, looking forward to seeing how people react to it.

Can't wait for seeing Nami die animated ;_;

>>15660322
Wasn't his whole thing that he got some sort of stalker crush on kaname and wanted to use her and other whispered to rule the world or something like that?

>>15660443
No

>>15658674
Redesign, the only difference is supposed to be weapons.

>>15660684
re-using assets, actually

>>15656020
It looks the same as Kyoani design because they didn't change the designer midway.

>>15660443
No

>>15660322
Unless they compress it and make it into absolute garbage, that'd be another season after this one. See you in 2030!

>>15655363
Yeah, whatever. Delays mean more work is being done, it's less of a rushjob. Hopefully it will be all the better for it. I am okay with this.

>>15655369
How metal is the panic?

>>15658684
>>DVMC will not be animated.
I hope this gets adapted into a movie instead. It's a very stand alone story and would be good for it.

Hyped

>>15660828
>Unless they compress it and make it into absolute garbage
Its already absolute garbage and no they are not going beyond 2 cours with this especially since Gatou is working on it and given the amount of changes he sanctioned into TSR it'll be the same with IV.

>>15661046
DVMC gets adapted into an audio drama actually

>>15655363

There was a third season?

>>15663869
Fumo fumo!

>>15664877
easily the best female character out of all mecha animes.

>>15664931
Not even close.

As someone who hasn't read the novels or checked out the manga, what did each anime adapt?

I assume FMP! adapted Fighting Boy Meets Girl, One Night Stand, and Into the Blue.

While TSR probably adapted Ending Day by Day with some original stuff mixed in?

>>15667022
>While TSR probably adapted Ending Day by Day with some original stuff mixed in?
The earlier episodes of TSR were original (1-3 if I remember correctly). The twins were males in the novel and goth girls in the manga. They also gave the leader of Amalgam's execution squad a name and a face which is Gates.

The Helmajistan arc in the first season is also original, too.

>>15657606
Who does her daughter resemble more? Her or Kurtz?

I'm fine with it. At least it won't be rushed, I want it perfect.

>>15667032
>They also gave the leader of Amalgam's execution squad a name and a face
and sideburns.

>>15655363

Good M9 plamo when ?

Habara (Xebec) told visitors in Japan Expo that FMP!IV mechas are all in 3DCG. This is the end of robot animation. This thread is as useless as this whole /m/ joke now.

>>15671347
One more evidence of /m/ becoming a newfags nest accepting disappearance of a culture in favor of efficiency's mirage. Enjoy your utilitarianism, you postmodern philistine.

>>15671347
So, am I supposed to be impressed here?

>>15671353

>>15671365
Ethnology considers technics as an integral part of a culture, jackass.

>>15671334
>Habara (Xebec) told visitors in Japan Expo that FMP!IV mechas are all in 3DCG
If there's one studio I'd trust to not fuck that up, it's Xebec. They've had a remarkably solid track record with CG mecha animation for nearly two decades.

>>15671334
Annnnnnd dropped.

>>15671334
Is that all he said? Nishii uses the CG as a base and usually draws over it like in 2199.

>>15671334
I want to see a direct interview with video, because that Arbalest did not look CG. The only thing was the Tuatha De Danaan, and it looked obvious, though very good. Both Arm Slaves that showed up looked hand drawn.

>>15671541
The close shot of the Arbalest is obviously 2D. Anyone arguing otherwise is an idiot. The one with Arbalest alongside Tessa is probably CG.

It'll be like Yamato and Fafner where some of it will be 2D but most of it CG.
