This gives me a Wild Arms feel, sorta. Not bad, actually.
Cast:
Yuuki Kaji
Aya Suzaki
Ari Ozawa
Kensho Ono
Ryoutarou Okiayu
Tomokazu Sugita
Megumi Han
During the reveal stream, someone joked about Yuuki Kaji being "a voice actor who is often surrounded by walls and wants to get out".
There is indeed a wall involved in this project but thankfully no titans and the tone seems pretty 180 from the grimdark of AOT

>original space cowboy show
Immediately sold.
Courtesy of ANN:
Ringarindo is a land surrounded by a wall. The wall covers, protects, cultivates, and nutures this land. The wall is god ... it is the foundation of this land of Ringarindo.
One day, a mysterious man named Back Arrow appears in Essha village on the outskirts of Ringarindo. Arrow lost his memories, but says that all he knows is, "I came from beyond the wall."
To restore his memories, Arrow heads out beyond the wall, but is embroiled in a battle with himself as the stakes.
Original Character Design: Shinobu Ohtaka (Magi, Sumomomo Momomo)
muh
my thoughts exactly. he's yet to disappoint me. even revisions wasn't as bad as people made it out to be.
I would have never expected such a slutty design to be an actual boy and not a tomgirl, this is really based of them.
Active Raid was fun and comfy. This looks like it could be reasonably close in that sense.
>Animation: Studio VOLN
this gon be good
>Goro Taniguchi
Hell yeah
>Kazuki Nakashima
Hell no
Hey, I liked Promare.
that combination means we are either getting anime of the year or utter mediocrity.
Time will tell. I do think it'll be fun at least. No real doubt about it. The PV feels pretty whimsical and that's a good thing for these dark times.
Nakashima cannot write a proper coherent story
Even if Taniguchi manages to elevate it beyond shit there's no chance it'll be truly great
>Nakashima's reaction to this post
What was incoherent about Gurren Lagann? Other than physics, I mean.
Will this be a fujoshi show? Most of the cast members are male.
4 boys and 3 girls.
Seems like an amazingly old fashioned show
Probably not going to be super popular but I'll dig it
I wonder how many episodes it will get. I like original anime with original ideas, but if its 1-cour then there's not much breathing room for the mystery or character development.
Wild Arms? Wild Arms.
Looks like a toy ad shounen MC.
I'm digging these designs, they remind me of some forgotten 90s anime.
Looks interesting. Definitely watching it.
My comrades.
>Nakashima cannot write a proper coherent story
?
Will there be mechas?
Yeah, that was the first thing I thought. Wild Arms anime. Will MC go full Lord Blazer?
Best girl
My trainwreck senses are flaring up.
We already know MC will get with the inferior orange-haired chick and not with her.
Same, watching the trailer i thought it was a Wild Arms adaptation
LOOKS LIKE ANIME ORIGINAL IS BACK IN THE MENU LADS
WHERE MY POPCORN CREW AT?
Green is main girl though
You're right. After watching the PV I change my mind.
here bro
Looks like this is going to be the darling in the franxx/guilty crown/valvrave/cross ange of the year
TANIGUCHI
ALWAYS
DELIVERS
What's with the bracelet-like weapon the mc has? Reminds me of those fighting disks in Tron.
What's this, an actual new Wild West anime?
The designs look atrocious. Even the Wild Arms ones themselves looked a million times better.
Isn't Appare Ranman kinda like that too?
Cowboys & Aliens the anime.
Hey, that's Sinbad.
They look bad but Chinese girl makes my pp hard.
Yes, but it's in the 1900s and better than Back Arrow.
He hasn't done anything remotely good since Virgin Witch and Resurrection was a huge disappointment that it killed any interest in new Geass material for the foreseeable future.
Your tastes are just shit
I hope not given how much of a boring mess that was.
That should be reversed. Nakashima is at least reliable unlike Taniguichi who's done nothing but shit for years.
The two main girls look boring, the green-haired one is kinda cute but doesn't stand out enough. I usually like Ohtaka's designs but the whole cowboy theme doesn't seem to work for her.
Been waiting for a thread.
>Taniguchi, Nakashima and Studio VOLN
I fucking love the staff on this. This is so refreshing.
Can't wait.
>Maria the Virgin Witch
>good
It was very good much better than crap like Active Raid, ID-0 and Revisions
The latest Taniguchi output has been full CGIshit so I didn't bother, is it that bad?
The PV looked alright so hopefully not

>Immediately sold.
I thought you're going to post something from Gun x Sword
>TANIGUCHI
>ALWAYS
>DELIVERS
Except that one mecha shows with the whiny douchebag of a protagonist recently
>>Maria the Virgin Witch
>>good
Hell yeah, it's good just like Planetes. Taniguchi also shines in adaptations
I couldn't find a good GxS reaction image in time to post.
Here you go though.
