slaginpit Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Sorry but I dont want kawamori anywhere near an anime studio. Stick to making cool transforming bots. He has a knack for messed up sloppy plot lined anime. NO! Quote
Bolt Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I wish him the best in this endeavor. And hope we all benefit from this. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Just want cool mecha, esp the transforming variety; if the story turns out to be lackluster, I won't feel bad for skipping it, but if the inevitable toys turn out well, then that's a good thing. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) http://project-pandora.jp Juushinki Pandora, a 26 episode anime directed by Shoji Kawamori (of Macross fame), produced by Satelight in colaboration with Xiamen Skyloong Media will be airing on Spring 2018. "A outcast scientist were living together with his 'sister', until one day, a quantum experiment went wrong, unleashing Dragons and Biomechanical-lifeforms from other dimensions into our world......" Introduction from the official website in Japanese: 2031年、「翔龍クライシス」が起きたその日、レオン・ラウはまさにその中心にいた。枯渇する環境資源の代替として研究、開発された次世代エネルギー装置「量子リアクター」が暴走し未知なるエネルギーを撒き散らし爆発したのだ。それにより世界の環境は激変した。人類以外の生物や機械は独自の進化を遂げ、誕生した特異進化生物「B.R.A.I」。その勢力に人類は絶滅寸前まで追い詰められていた。 「翔龍クライシス」から７年後、レオンは絶対防衛都市ネオ翔龍のはずれにある荒野にいた。「家族契約」を交わしたクロエ・ラウと共同生活をしながら、「B.R.A.I」に対抗するべく独自の研究を行っていた。もっさりなレオンに世話焼きなクロエ。ときに過去を忘れるかのような日々に、しかし、脅威は着実に迫っていた。 From Google Translate: On 2031, the day that "Xianglong Crisis" occurred, Leon Lau was in the very center. Next-generation energy equipment "quantum reactor" researched and developed as a substitute for the exhausted environmental resource runaway it exploded with dispersing unknown energy. As a result, the environment of the world suddenly changed. Biological and machinery other than mankind has evolved independently, a unique evolutionary organism that was born "BRAI". Humanity has been chased to the point of extinction for its power. Seven years after "Xianglong Crisis", Leon was in the wilderness on the edge of the absolute defense city Neo Xianglong. While co-living with Chloe Lau who had "family contract", he was doing his own research to counter B.R.A.I. Chewy Chloe with a slim Leon. Living everyday as if to forget the past, but the threat was pressing steadily. Edited October 18, 2017 by no3Ljm Added Introduction text from website. Quote
Dynaman Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 A main character that doesn't look like a pre-teen. I think I gotta watch this one. And the lovely detailed art style with hand drawn characters is very welcome. Quote
kajnrig Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 ...why is "sister" in scare quotes? Typical Japanese creative use of Latin punctuation, or typical Japanese looseness towards the Westermarck effect? Quote
Mommar Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Transforming tank-thing looks pretty cool. Quote

In the trailer he doesn't reffer her as his sister, but she talks about "Family" or something like that. But the "imoto" feeling is so strong... Quote
Sandman Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 How is Kawamori going to do another Macross series in 2018? This show is going to keep him busy. Maybe he'll have less of a hand in it this time? Quote
Sildani Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Well, he cut out of Delta halfway through, so there’s precedent for that... Quote
arbit Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Looks like Your Name with transforming tank. I'll take it. Quote

Firefox Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Does this have transforming mechas? If not, I'm out Quote

chyll2 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 it has a Batman mobile-esque vehicle that transform into The Fool. (from Nobunaga the fool) Quote
seti88 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 The bad guy looks like something out from armored core? Quote
Old_Nash Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 WOW! I hope don't be a another Basquash! I mean, don't have another season. Quote

Valkyrie Driver Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 This looks promising, but so did delta. On 10/18/2017 at 6:32 AM, Sildani said: Well, he cut out of Delta halfway through, so there’s precedent for that... Honestly, I think that Kawamori-san cut out of Delta because the studio wouldn't listen to his ideas. They should have come to a better arrangement, like doing an OVA of his original idea, and then doing Delta, or vice versa. Quote

slaginpit Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Why do they continue to allow this toy engineering genius near an anime film production company. Everything he touches in anime is &^#@ed up. meh Edited October 26, 2017 by slaginpit Quote
M'Kyuun Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Hope the anime's good but if not, eh. I'm more curious about the M.O.E.V. toys. I imagine Bandai will likely make the merch for this film. Quote
seti88 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 several moments i tot i saw hayate, alto and a destroid in the trailer. Quote
Marzan Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I'm not too confident that this will be any good. Satelight hasn't done anything remotely top notch in years. Is there a quality screenwriter attached to this project? Will the characters have more that paper thin characterizations? A congruent plot? I'll check it out, but won't hold my breath. Quote
