Saw Netflix mentioned in the end credits, will it be streaming there?

The plot seems interesting...

[technoblue]

Nora has a twin, apparently. 

[jenius]

Looks fun, does it say it's going to be on Netflix at the end there??

[sh9000]

Looks cool.

[Duymon]

Looks interesting. Will totally watch. No way it can be worse than Mac Delta's 2nd - half hehehe

[Mazinger]

The mechs remind me of the nirvash types from Eureka7, which Kawamori designed, correct?

Also, never trust the attractive lady that seems to be running things. Unless they’re name starts with an M, they’re probably up to no good.

Who voices the Imouto?

Also, that music. I wonder if there's a rash of Radwimps clones over there right now, with Your Name's success. Or maybe that style of sound is just getting popular in general.

[SuperHobo]

I'll give it a try. Nothing can be worse than Nobunaga the Fool. I have not forgiven Kawamori for that rancid pile of dung.

Wow, the abundance of CGI in the trailers really clashes with the simplistic, 2D character animation.  Is this a low-budget production?

Recent Gundam projects like Thunderbolt and Unicorn have done a much better job of integrating the computer animation...

This Pandora looks like outdated crap by comparison.

I still watch 80s anime all the time so I'm not a stickler for visuals

Aren't you comparing a series to OVA's? Hardly a fair comparison if that's the case...

Doesn't look too different from other anime styles on show right now.

[Mommar]

Bump of Chicken?

Iron blooded orphans, may have been a better example since it’s a series and pretty recent as far as Gundam goes. The satellite anime almost always seems to try and use very cg looking mecha and unfortunately that seems to be a trend theses days.

Gundam shows probably have bigger budgets. You know they're supposed to sell kits etc...

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Looks ok, will ge it a try.

[Gerli]

First Chapter is out!

[seti88]

only for JP viewers or worldwide? Didnt see it on Netflix outside JP...

[sh9000]

Just watched the first episode.  Looks to be interesting.  I like the mecha too.

I think it airs on Japanese television on the 4th of April. Raws are out, now will someone sub it in English?  Or we can wait until September when Netflix gets it in the US. 

[no3Ljm]

Kawamori really knows my weakness on such color scheme.

 

[Vortech]

There is an english fansub out for EP 1.

[sh9000]

The English fansub for Ep 2 is also out.  Not yet for Ep 3.

Is this streaming anywhere?

I don't think we're supposed to post links, but a simple google search will show sites offering this series. I watched episode 1 (english subbed) Saturday.

Oh, I thought there was like a Crunchyroll or Netflix contract or something. Even Hulu or something funky like CBS All Access. Ah well, I can wait.

[seti88]

Intriguing watch so far. And am getting hungry for crab for some reason.

[sh9000]

I’m liking it.  If they make toys, I don’t mind if they are DX and/or HMR.

Just watched the first ep of thirteen out so far. Just on the strength of the first ep, I'll continue watching. 

Did a search, and came up with zip as far as toys/models. Leon's transforming car is pretty cool (no familiarity with Nobunaga the Fool, so the design is fresh to my eyes)- I want a toy of this thing. The variable ground military vehicles and that chick's flying vehicle are pretty interesting, too. This show has toy /model fodder all through it- can't believe Bandai's not pushing the plastic crack for this series- it's got yen making potential all over it, esp with Kawamori's name attached. Regardless of how the story progresses, the mecha are sure to please.

It's a weird nitpick, but the dude's cat is obviously voiced by an actor and it bugs me. Not like there aren't plenty of cats in the world to sample. If you're gonna use a human, get someone like Dee Bradley Baker who has an incredible talent for producing legit animal sounds ( he did most of the critters in the Avatar series). His Kiwi accent is pretty good, too. wink

I’ve only watched the first episode.  I’ll see if I can watch more.

[M'Kyuun]

I'm watching it on watchcartoononline.com. The sub is pretty decent, although the translation is off every now and then. Still, it's far and above the terribly subbed version of Macross Zero I own. About 5 eps in and I'm following Juushinki Pandora just fine so far. Hope this helps.
