The Blue King Reishi Munakata, the leader of the Blue Clan “Scepter 4,” held great responsibilities on his back. The tower that Gold King Daikaku Kokujōji supervised called the “Dresden Slate” was still on his mind, and he felt a great burden by killing the previous Red King, Mikoto Suoh. On the other hand, the former Red Clan “HOMRA” clansman Anna Kushina experienced the attacks from the Green Clan “Jungle” and awakened as the next Red King. By doing this, she bound her comrades through a strong bond once again. Finally, White Clan members Neko and Kuroh believe that the White King Yashiro is still alive, and seek his whereabouts. However, it was not just them searching for the White King. With “Jungle” once again jumping back into action, the fates of the various Kings are brought together.
I don’t know what the hell this is trying to be.
A ecchi anime with a character that acts like an otakus wet dream?
A action anime with visuals and music that looks and sounds amazing with characters that mix a taste of Bebop with The World Ends With You?
A Baccano anime with an actual interesting setting with better characters with a slice of fan service/otaku wet dream characters that do not overlap the plot?
You pick cause I’m being pulled in yet staying away and poking it. This looks awesome but the cat character is keeping me on guard.
that and the fact that it’s animated by GoHands (Mardock Scramble trilogy) might be in Sentai’s favor, maybe pave the way for some other GoHands shows like Princess Lover! or Seitokai Yakuindomo…,
Seitokai Yakuindomo I might agree with since it’s another Starchild series. Princess Lover! however is a FrontierWorks series, and to my knowledge, they have yet to license anything distributed by FrontierWorks.
Though it looks like Media Factory is on Production as well, so maybe the hold international licensing, and if that’s the case, there might be a chance.
I’m not sure that I’d say that Baccano really had characters, I thought the setting was interesting, and I have absolutely no idea what you mean about characters not overlapping the plot. Please help me out here.
That said, I’m not seeing anything like Baccano in these videos. The (poor) CG city scenes are closer to DRRR, though TBH they, and something about the art, remind me of Persona 4.
The red haired dude reminds me of Renji from Bleach (with Gin’s body), the swordsmens’ uniforms remind me of the uniforms in Full Metal Alchemist, and the stereotypical superpowered shounen fight scenes remind me far more of those shows than of anything else.
The art style doesn’t look too bad IMO. The action looks like every other Shounen though, which doesn’t really do much for me. This also looks like a total sausage fest, which doesn’t really do much for me either. Though it could surprise me and be completely awesome. I wish the videos would tell me more, these videos are as uninformative as most Sentai Filmworks trailers are
Because those are rips of the videos on the JP homepage (linked under the vids).
That being said though, I have yet to ever see Starchild put up HD vids anywhere, including their official YT channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/starchild
