Holy shit, what's this?

-Original anime written by Ichiro Okouchi (Code Geass creator)

Okay, good start.

-Directed by Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, Shingeki no Kyojin) at WIT Studio.

Wow, that's not that bad. I could see something good here.

-Hiroyuki Sawano (Kill la Kill, Guilty Crown) is in charge for music.

Now I'm practically SOLD. What could possibly go wrong?



Andddd dropped before its even out. I mean really, zombie titans?

>Ichiro Okouchi creator also wrote for Guilty Crown and created those shitty CG sequel movies that nobody likes just to cash in on name recognition.
>T.Araki is alright, but I think people forget that Death Note wasn't great(relied heavily on the manga), and he did GC.
>Sawano is always good, but I feel he'll be used for the opening/ending primarily.


Looking at the preview it looks basically identical to Attack on Titan in presentation.
0:17 in particular is very similar to AoT's presentation.



From the looks of it: It's a zombie outbreak that happens in pseudo-feudal Japan.(steampunk Japan).


Meh. I'm really hoping this isn't as much of an obvious cashgrab as it seems to be.
(Code Geass creator known for similar series a~la Guilty Crown, same staff from attack on Titan doing a very similarly themed project)





Will watch, just not exactly going to be hyped based on credentials. Urobutchi you bastard.

Ichiro was only an assistant for GC. I don't think he played that big of a role, but that's just an assumption.


Even looking further into the PV, you can really see the SnK resemblance.

0:06
-Instead of two swords, let's give them a single sword and a gun. Also connected on the back like the 3D maneuver gear.

Instead of walls they move via trains I suppose?

0:16
-Against all odds, our main character finds a way!

0:27
-There are possible humans that have the same sort of fighting power as them

0:35-0:38
-I think this is the same VA as Eren even. They're not even trying to

Yeah at first I thought they WERE titans, just zombified.
(then they showed scale).

And yes, same VA as Eren.

Jesus, they're not even trying. Such a disappointment, given this staff.

Eh. I see it as a (late) cash grab.
