Looks interesting. Will it be airing on television. If so, what channel?

I can't help but reflexively cringe at the term "American Anime". I mean, I get it, and it kind of actually fits the project, but just calling it "Animation" seems like it'd be better. Every time I see someone use that term, I just can't help but think they are trying too hard to appeal to a specific crowd. We get it, anime is too cool for school. And obviously WAY cooler than just boring normal animation from anywhere else in the world. It's like OEL Manga...

Well, this looks pretty cool and given how moe obsessed Japan is right now I think any kind of foreign collaboration is certainly welcome. The anime industry definitely needs some fresh air right now if you ask me.

If they can get their foot in the door by bridging this gap between Japanese and American anime production, it is no small feat. Overcoming stigma, cultural diversities, and interests in profitable expectations is a road we have been down before. I am hungry for something more than just another adaptation. Championing these values in both 'anime' and 'animation' despite their respective shorelines looks great on paper, at least. Lose the Under the Dog font, though. I will definitely watch the pilot and hopefully back the Kickstarter.

I had the same reaction and the same thought, and we all know what happened to OEL manga. The voices also make me cringe. I understand the producers are not Japanese, but if you're trying to sell me anime, I have certain expectations. Plus didn't this remind anybody of Gurran Lagann? Or was that just me? |

People who think anime is "moe obsessed" must be living in a time capsule from 5 years ago. Just look at a damn anime chart for god sake. We get like 5 or less shows that could conceivably be called "moe" each season, with 40 others that aren't. And the variety is greater now than it has ever been. |

Yeah I think it's a fantastic step too. It helps that one of the founders and the director has direct experience in the Japanese industry:
I'll be honest though, the trailer does not really stand out to me. It doesn't look bad and I like the designs but I hope they can polish it more and put more animation oomph as they go along. |
