>directed by Mamoru Oshii
where the FUCK is Takahashi?

>>23710113
Sounds like Kenji Kawai's doing the music?

Last VOTOMS thing I watched was Mellowlink and that was a couple years ago now. I really need to watch everything else.

what are you guys hoping to see? I like Chirico but it'd probably be better off without him around

>>23710164
Hozumi Goda is pushing 70 now. Alone Again came out 15 years ago.

>>23710113
Holy fucking shit I just came.

>>23710134
Probably resting and enjoying some good food in peace away from production deadlines, the man is 83.

>>23710134
fucking your mom

>>23710140
>two Kenji Kawai anime in one year
Blessed timeline.

>>23710164
>what are you guys hoping to see

>>23710164

And instead of mechs we're getting sonic weapons that make you shit your pants and puke blood.

Just saw the twatter post and uh....

Holy shit?

>>23710167
Yeah but Chirico has a gruff older sounding voice anyway so it really doesn't matter. He sounded fine in his more recent SRW appearances.

>>23710113
What is with Bandai and their obsession with witches? Is this some kind of "every year until you like it" thing?

Chirico:

>>23710248
It's the thematic contrast between military sci-fi and magic and superstition

>>23710251
Don't engage with patternfags.

I expect yet another lesson in just how painfully long and drawn out the decline of a franchise can be.

Can't believe we are actually getting a new VOTOMS anime in this gay fuckass timeline we are currently living in, AND it's being directed by the kinomeister himself, Oshii. I don't give a fuck about anything else, I just gotta survive long enough to watch this.

Patlabor, GitS, and now Votoms. Might be a good year for mecha.
The Grey Witch is a weird choice what with it being the title of the first Lodoss Wars novel, somebody at Sunrise must be really into witches. It's a cute coincidence as Izubuchi was the illustrator for all the early Lodoss stuff and he's directing Patlabor EZY.
Super cerebral AT with lots of dense dialogue and literary references could be fun anyway.

Impossible to care considering how every VOTOMS entry outside the original series is dogshit

>new remake of an /m/ classic with a German subtitle hated by diehard oldschool fanboys

>CG

>>23710323
The mechs were bound to be CG, but I'm praying mostly everything else is handrawn

>>23710324
I wonder, is this even a remake or a new story? If anything, to promote this, we need a Figure-rise Fyana to go with the Brutishdog. Or heck, GIVE US CHIRICO! HE COOL!

>>23710328
Chirico a shit. He killed my family.

I only watched the main series, are the OVA worth?
Also the main series was largely influenced by sci-fi movies of that time, which one is this new one be inspired by? Avatar?

>>23710305
try again when the character designs are revealed

>>23710113
Is this going to be a movie? OVA?

Anti-gaijin sentiment hopefully.

What do you think of Oshii handling this? I've heard his modern stuff has been pretty washed

>>23710384
>I've heard his modern stuff has been pretty washed
to be fair, he only has one directing credits in the last 16 years and it was an attempt at creating a slapstick comedy
his own other credits are a little bit of script writing and story boarding/composition

>>23710384
Oshii hasn't directed anything anime related go know whether he's washed or not besides Vlad Love which was well-directed but kind of had an esoteric plot.

The animators are delivering according to their pay grade, I see.

>>23710113
Why do they keep bringing back based old anime and take a shit all over them with cgi garbage. They did the same shit to Hokuto no Ken.

>>23710396
yeah? isnt that just how AT's move on all terrain?

don't.

In the cartoon, it was them porting over the animation trick used to make the Doms slide, I think.

But Doms use literal hover jets while VOTOMS move on wheels with ground contact, like roller skates. While their movement being highly stylized is sensible enough in cell animation, it really falls flat in photo realistic 3D animation.

That's just Oshii.

>>23710399
They've only shown CG mecha so far, and the mecha have been CG in Votoms since Pailsen Files in 2006 (with the one exception of Case;Irvine). The Hokuto no Ken shit looks way worse than these CG Scopedogs too.

It’s truly over for mechanical 2D animation isn’t it…

>complaining about CG
>for Votoms of all things
Do these tourists just watch the OG and pretend they are fans?

>>23710399
At least the CG here isn't animated like Star Fox SNES. There isn't any reason to have that low FPS garbage that is everywhere nowadays.

For me it’s armor hunter merolink

>>23710384
Oshii's works are carried by beautiful hand-drawn animation.
