| I love AI crap ngl. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I quite liked Tappei's previous work on Senyoku no Sigrdrifa, so I'm wondering perhaps this new series may include more of his twists compared to last. Also very nice that it will be animated by Wit. |
| Pretty vague teaser. I love Wit Studio but hated the story of Re:Zero, so I have little faith in Tappei to write anything good. I'll keep a skeptical eye open, but I'm not hopeful. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| My favorite studio ever teaming up with the author of one of the best anime ever... I'm not huge on "Original Anime" but I'll still be expecting good things from this |
 |
| I really love trailers that show nothing. Guess I will wait for another pv down the line before making judgement. |
 |
| Wit + Tappei Nagatsuki sounds promising. Hopefully they'll make something great. |
 |
| the graphic and artstyle looks good ngnl Hmmm it's from established author, but it's an original anime, very interesting. Would def look into it, I love original anime' excitements, and I love Re:Zero. And yep I'd love to see another trailers soon, that show us the animations. |
 |
| This could be a trainwreck, this could be something amazing. If it's anything like Re:Zero or AoT, I'll enjoy it. |
| Not a whole lot in the trailer, but the world design looks pretty interesting from the little we got. |
 |
| Looks like I am in minority here, but I really liked Senyoku no Sigrdrifa (it had its flows but overall was one of the better series last season). And I found it much better written than ReZero 2 part 1. So I'm in for more originals from Nagatsuki. |

| Woah okay, that's some combination right there! Should be worth checking out at least. Senyoku Sigrdrifa wasn't the most spectacular show by any means but it was fun nonetheless and here's to hoping this'll do better. Good to see news of two Original works in a row. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Nothing much to go by still but it's original sci-fi by Wit so I will definitely watch it. Art showcased in the announcement video is really nice too. |
| I like what I see, besides I will most likely be way better than Re:Zero. |
 |
| Re:Zero is OK at best, but as least it's done by Wit, so I will check it out. |
| I doubt this will have the depth that Re:Zero has considering it's not based on books which the author has had time to slowly and meticulously plan out, but I hope it's at least pretty good. Also, not sure why people dislike Re:Zero so much. The characters and world in that show are top tier. |
  |
| Hey this should be pretty epic to watch. |
| Maybe Tappei saved all the suffering in Sigururi for this. |
 |
| Wit should focus on giving us a second season of Vinland Saga. |
| Hmmm... This anime looks promising, especially since it was made by the author of Re:Zero! Let's see if we can get the best experience like in Re:Zero! ^_^ |
Forum set made by Nate  |
| I'm excited for this cause Umehara's writing the script and he's responsible for the best parts of Rezero and Chaos;Child |
| Hyped af. Hope it's not a shitfest like Warlords of Sigrdrifa was. |
| hype , Eiji Umehara also the one doing the script for Re:zero episode 15 and 33, which I considers the best Re:zero episodes because how gruesome it is. |
 |
| I wouldnt be that positive just because WIT gave us SnK and Vinland saga. Kabaneri was a dull rool of cool, and great pretender was super awful. syts said: Wit should focus on giving us a second season of Vinland Saga. completly agree. they already risked SnK and now they are delaying VS chad-farm arc? this one better be good. |

| WIT's doing another original eh? That's pretty cool. I like Re Zero and man we could use more good sci fi anime and more originals in general. Still the announcment came out pretty suddenly if this is coming out in Spring. Not that I mind. Though like most originals will wait until other people check it out first lol. |

| Re:Zero + Wit Studio: Killer combi? Warlords of Sigrdrifa was not the best of Tappei Nagatsuki BY A LONG SHOT, but this'll probably have a good momentum to remit a Re:Zero alternate of some kind. |

So true lol. I wonder whether they're actually working on it. Maybe we'll get S2 around 2022? |

 |
| After the disappointment that was Sigrdrifa, I'm not gonna expect too much from a Tappei anime original. |
 |
| fluorite makes me think of fai from tsubasa chronicles lol, was confused for a sec |

They already began it with. Dont be surprised if Vinland Saga also get studio change too. After Great Pretender which was great anime. they will make more original anime - Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song (this one) - Vampire in the Garden (Netflix original) |
 |
| Pretty excited, it's from one of my favorite authors, although I'll keep my expectations low, Tappei is good in writing books and since this is an anime original, he may not have much time and freedom to plan out the world and plot. Like Sigururi, which I enjoyed but wasn't as well-written as Re:Zero. He's been working on many projects now, hope he's not overworking himself, he's helping out Re:Zero staff, worked on Sigururi, finished Arc 6 in both WN and LN, planning to start writing Arc 7 "soon", and now is working on a new original? Please take a break too Tappei-sensei, your health is very important. |
