(I'm going to assume his name is Takuto, and not Tact. I'm not sure, though.) Extra Info: Takuya Igarashi (Soul Eater, Ouran High School Host Club) is directing the project at the anime studio BONES, and Yoji Enokido (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Aim for the Top! Gunbuster 2) is writing the scripts. Misa and Hiroka Mizuya are collaborating on the original character designs, and Yoshiyuki Ito (Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater) is adapting the designs for animation and overseeing the animation. Satoru Kousaki (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Bakemonogatari) is scoring the music. http://myanimelist.net/anime/8934/Star_Driver:_Kagayaki_no_Takuto My thoughts: Mmn... the character design is a bit too generic for my tastes. And the robot looks like an interesting combination of RahXephon and Gurren Lagann. (Not to mention the galaxy in its hands.. XD) Regardless, I'm always interested in BONES & mecha, especially since this one is an original story: 'been awhile since BONES has made an anime not based on a manga (last one I can remember was Sword of the Stranger.) Some people got the idea that this was going to be another Heroman (as a bad thing I guess, because of its kid-like execution. I still like the show though, personally :\) but everything has been based on that picture and the small description. We'll recieve further news with the next Newtype issue (which I think actually comes out today xD), so I'm looking forward to that. Personally I can't really see how they thought this was going to be another Heroman: the animation/art looks pretty teen-targeted to me. Thoughts? Edited by Eka, Jun 10 2010, 09:59 AM.

I'll check it out if Bones adds some extra Royai to the finale of Brotherhood. I mean, they do ship Royai and all... (It's really more that I truly don't like what they're doing lately except for Brotherhood. Everything just seems kid-ish and generic lately. They need something like Xam'd and E7 again. >.<) EDIT: Also, that robot looks ugly. O_O Edited by Shado-Chan, Jun 10 2010, 12:43 PM.

I dunno, if BONES decides to change something with the Brotherhood finale, I think its going to come back and bite them in the arse later by millions saying, "This never happened in the manga!" Oh I can just imagine how much hate mail they probably got from manga fans for the first anime.. xD; (But in all seriousness, naw. They probably'll add in some form of Royai in the end, but it won't be drastic. They might make Riza blush around Roy or something.) Mmm... well I don't think they're doing much as far as animating goes. I think Heroman's been their kiddiest show, and that's their current project. I do agree with you though: as much as I enjoy Heroman a little, I'd love to see them pull a Wolf's Rain/Xam'd/E7 again. I'm really hoping that this anime will be the result of that. XDD It sure is a spindly thing, isn't it. xD Personally I'm interested in its full design: how people would maneuver in it and so on. It looks kind of like it has an old EscaFlowne-type design, so they might humanize the controls a little more, similar to EscaFlowne in comparison to, say, E7. (eg. To control the mechs/LFO in E7, they merely used handles, buttons and such, right? In EscaFlowne, its basically like a super-old body suit inside which you move with your own strength.) I read something about a Robot Academy for this. Not liking the sounds of that very much (its more like, 'I've heard that one before'.) EDIT: Just noticed the galaxy isn't in the robot's hands. ... Its a PART of the robot, itself. o_o Dear god, this 'Taubern' has a portal to a GALAXY in him. Sweet Jesus. XD Edited by Eka, Jun 10 2010, 03:05 PM.

In regards to the Royai: 108 spoileraz I still think the design for the robot is kinda weird. I like the design of the kid, but I feel that they're still in "kid" territory. Come on BONES, I know you can still do mind fuck! I haven't lost hope in you yet! (Unless of course this actually DOES turn out to be total mind fuck...) |

Site's been updated. http://www.star-driver.net/ And now with a new official preview art on the homepage. Now, looking at this new art, I thought this: 1. Colorful shiny glimmers are looking A LOT like TTGL colorful shiny glimmers. (Glimmers shown near the assumed waistline of Tauburn.) 2. That robot's design. ... What... ? XDDD I'm most perturbed by the arms, honestly. They're huge. o-o 3. Tauburn is holding these colorful glimmers? ... Ok that would be totally badass if they were his weapons . <3 4. Main character looks different, whyyy. xD I think the character designs are looking a bit too generic for my tastes. 5. A VERY BIG positive to this anime judging from that picture is the colors. This anime looks like its really varied in color, and I'm gonna love that!~ Alright, onto Staff and Cast! [apparently translated as]: Shi tact Tuna: Mamoru Miyano Waco Agemaki: Hayami Saori Sugata Shindo: Fukuyama Jun Ko Watanabe Kana: Niina Ayano Aragon Simone: Satoru Aya Bamboo Nana Kate Nichi: Ami Koshimizu Shinada Benio: 千恵巳 Chiba Salina pea: Maaya Sakamoto George Honda: Takagi Takashi Tetsuya Gouda: Sugiyama Hiroshi Other Thoughts: -Mamoru Miyano, yay :3 -Jun Fukuyama, another yay :3 -Ami Koshimizu, HUZZAH (need moar Anemone in BONES works ^^) -Maaya Sakamoto, 8DD =3 You can also check out the other mecha that'll be involved in the show on the Staff & Cast page. Well, it basically links to the Mechanics page. ... So lets get to Mechanics! =D xD Taubern http://www.star-driver.net/mechanic/index.html Ohhhh, the huge things were his thighs/hips, not his arms. His arms are quite skinny, actually. xD Hm... actually from a full view, I don't mind his design. Not bad at all. =3 I wonder what the smoke-type substance atop the crown of his head will represent. Mecha #2 ('guess I'll refer to him as Banishing Age, since thats the only English word on his page.) http://www.star-driver.net/mechanic/02.html ... Nope, don't like it. At all. I'm hoping he'll be a much cooler mech when he gets screentime. I just really hate his design. XD Though I expect he can fire a great series of missiles at one time, so he gets 1 point for that. Mecha #3 (Filament, I guess) http://www.star-driver.net/mechanic/03.html Mm... not amazing... I do like the eyes in the middle of the chest there. Everything else is sort of meh. Mecha #4 (Another Filament, nevermind XD) http://www.star-driver.net/mechanic/04.html Besides the fact that the first thought that came to my mind when seeing him was, 'Lol pink', I think this one's my second favorite of the bunch. 'Course there haven't been that many good ones.. XD Mecha #5 (Adult Bank) http://www.star-driver.net/mechanic/05.html Nevermind, this guy is my new second favorite. I like this one a lot. I suspect epic Samurai skills to ensue from him. Alrighty, what else... well we can\t read Story, as its a picture. Lets try characters. Takuto/Tact http://www.star-driver.net/character/index.html ... I like his hair. Not sure why. XD And I like his white outfit with the crazy flame hair. Maybe minus the star. He looks pretty awesomesauce in that outfit, though. Wako http://www.star-driver.net/character/wako.html I hope she's a little sister and not a love interest. Not only does she looks really weird with Takuto if coupled, but god she looks YOUNG. Eh, I'm not over the moon with her design. Sugata http://www.star-driver.net/character/sugata.html Hee. I think I'm gonna really like this guy. XD Love, love, love his hair. <3 Kanako http://www.star-driver.net/character/kanako.html Lol, her badass outfit has the Anemone-esque TheEND backing to it. xD But that aside... meh. Just a big-chested nobody to me. However, I do really like her mask. Simone http://www.star-driver.net/character/simone.html (Her drill will pierce the heave-SHOT-) xD But nah, don't like her. Or her second outfit. Looks like the lolita of the bunch. Nichi http://www.star-driver.net/character/nichi.html Just okay. I don't like her second outfit very much because of the tight-to-skin'ness and the.. uh.. lace? xD Benio http://www.star-driver.net/character/benio.html Nevermind, another lolita arrives. Don't like her very much either. Sarina http://www.star-driver.net/character/sarina.html She looks to be a strong-willed character. I think I'll like her a lot! George http://www.star-driver.net/character/george.html GEORGE?! XDD Ok, not only is he lols-worthy for the only English name in this character roster, but POOFY PANTS and ABS?! =D XD I think I'm going to like him very much. He won't be badass, just amazingly lols-worthy. XDD Tetsuya http://www.star-driver.net/character/tetsuya.html I'mma like this guy a lot too. 8D He appears to be in league with George as they have similar outfits. I think I'll like the guys more than the girls. xD; And then everything else is 'Coming Soon.' Personally I'm genuinely interested in the upcoming trailer for the series. Thoughts? |

Ok. I saw military outfits. CHELSEA IS INTERESTED. (but I also see lots of girls... which usually translates to fanservice... come on, BONES, don't do that to us...) (And the robot design is still lolretarded.) |

Well, there's more guys than girls I think (and I like them a whole lot better than the girls design-wise. xD Though that Sarina girl looks kinda cool.) I kind of like Tauburn's and Mecha #5's designs, but the rest suck eggs. But colorful atmosphere and really cool VAs = : DD |

Southern Cross? Huh... if bones screws this up, I'll probably lose all faith in them. Other than that, I really like the main character's (Takuto, was it?) second outfit in the characters area. Also, a few of the outfits made me thing of card suits, specifically diamonds (green haired big-tits chick, and the next one), and clubs (the dudes at the end). And the girl, Sarina, her hair looks really familiar. I swear I've seen that design on another character, only it was black. The hair, not the character. I'm thinking that she'll possibly be a romantic interest, and, since she's got no alternative outfit, possibly someone that Takuto would want to protect. (EDIT2: I just remembered who it reminded me of. Kallen from Code Geass!) EDIT: I almost forgot to say this. What if the galaxy pictured inside the mech is actually its power source? Now that would be epic. I think there may be a card suit theme to this. I've been taking a closer look, and it seems clubs, hearts, and diamonds are present. The symbol on the page for the banishing age mech, and the long black haired girl , was of hearts. There's a diamonds one on the green haired girl's page, the next girl's, and the adult bank mech, and the fillament mechs both have the clubs clover symbol.

Sweet Mother of God, the trailer has finally been released. http://www.star-driver.net/trailer/index.html Mm... it didn't "wow" me, but it definitely interested me. I laughed SO MUCH when Takuto and Taubern did that little transformation, because this is all I could think about when I watched it: ![]() XDDD Definitely gonna watch this. (And loving the trailer music. <3) Edited by Eka, Sep 5 2010, 08:52 AM.

Sarcasm aside, the trailer actually does look epik. Hopefully they won't fuck up the love stories this time... LIKE YOU DID WITH XAM'D, BONES. (Seriously! Why did they hug? IT WAS A KISS MOMENT.) |

That's true, however BONES isn't entirely famous for making main couples kiss (AnemDom and Eurenton are exceptions.) I mean -Holland and Talho: nope (well... kind of? He was unconscious... XD) -Kirihiko and the main guy from The Skull Man: not officially a couple, but hinted. Nope. -Tamaki & Haruhi: nope (AND AMY WAS PISSED) -Kiba and Cheza from Wolf's Rain: again, not official, but huuugely hinted. Nope. -Edward and Winry: nope -Roy and Riza (oh we all know there was something between them): nope. -(so far) Joey and Lina from Heroman: nope (2 EPISODES LEFT, NOW. C'MON BONES.) -Akiyuki and Haru: nope. So basically E7 and Darker Than BLACK have been exceptions. I don't think BONES likes kissing. XD But yeah, I agree: hopefully they won't eff it up. I'm gonna guess nekkid girl is Takuto's love interest (and I'm gonna guess she was nekkid because she was going to be sacrificed for something because she's a shrine maiden. Iunno, I read it somewhere. XD) |
