New Robot Battle anime and Zettai Karen spin-off Preview

Robot Battle Anime Kakutō Jyūki Aragane's Promo Streamed

Sometime last week a new anime called Kakuto Jyuki Aragane was streamed on facebook and youtube. The plot centers around a boy who fights in a gasoline powered robot, in order to save his town's factory from going bankrupt. This is a joint project between Project Entertainment(Ozma) and  a the newcomer Wonder Creators.




Medabots! Not really but I've been hearing the comparison a lot. There is a lot that looks promising but I can also see the holes. Will these 3D fight scenes be epic or were they just too cheap to animate in 2D so they decided that 3D will be cheaper? Wonder Creators doesn't give me much ease either even if the starter of the company is an established producer. Who knows? There's no due date so it's going to be while for this one.

Zettai Karen Children's Hyōbu Anime Previewed in Video

A website for the spin-off Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad) called The Unlimited- Hyobu Kyosuke started streaming their promotional video for the anime. The video features Hyobu, an esper outlaw who was betrayed by humans long ago. The production will be handled by a different company called Manglobe, as well as the character design by Jun Takagi (Romeo X Juliet, Submarine 707R).




Well this is new. I've heard of Psychic Squad before just never held my interest enough to watch it fully but this has me curious. I just find it weird that they pretty much cleaned house in terms of production and character design. The only guess I can come up with is that they want this to as stand-alone as possible without relying on the audience seeing Psychic Squad beforehand. I have to check it out when it gets here.
