I really hope they got it right this time. The previous adaptation have had problems. Which resulted in a poor reception.

Cuz you dont think we need that kind of protagonist once in a while? Especially with no news of an adaptation of Jojo part 5.

I never thought this would get another anime. It's called Regenesis, so I guess it's a remake that will cover more of the manga.

Preview

[LG-MAX 2.o]

Full CG, hun.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

3DCG huh? At least the trailer looks better than 2010s Berserk.

[Kanon]

I was hoping for traditional animation. I'll at least check the first episode to see how the final product looks.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

Info

studio responsible is Poligon Pictures, so at least we can expect good CG action scenes.

Yoshio Kazumi (Ajin episode director) is directing the anime at Polygon Pictures, and Satoshi Ozaki supervising and writing the series scripts. Kazuma Teshigahara (Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind) and Hiromi Satō are designing the characters.

It should definitely be better than Berserk's CGI then.

I liked, for some reason, I really like this studio, I expect scenes of manly fights.

[Stark700]

Crunchyroll will stream it.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

I thought it was exclusive to amazon, well, at least we can see tomorrow, this is one of the anime I'm most anxious about.

[Stark700]

24 episodes.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

will it be divided into two parts? I think Polygon Pictures has never before done an anime with 24 episodes in a row.

OPENING

well, whoever complained that the characters of the anime of Polygon Pictures had the same face can not complain more, by opening the quality of the CG seems the best done by the studio so far, with the exception of Blame!

[Nivek von Beldo]

The Animation is everywhere, at times looks decent, at times looks worse that a PS2 game...is everywhere but far better subpar Berserk, but the plotline is nice, hope the animation improve and not decrease
