I like the key visual tbh and character designs looks alright. With some collaboration by some noticeable people, I hope it can live up to the hype.

Also looking forward to an animated PV soon.

Considering the illustrations for Type-Moon's big-name properties aren't done by Nasu but by Takeuchi Takashi, the above has to qualify for most pointless statement in the thread.

Getting back to the report, they'll likely be basing the storyline and plot on the game transcripts so it's not original in the sense anything goes with the direction of the storyline and the type of characterisation available.

Really like a lot of those creators so I'm looking forward to checking this out and the character designs look nice, looking forward to seeing some animation.

The world design concept art looks quite nice, I hope we see some of those airships like the one that comes up right after Ibuki and Eiha's images in the actual show.

Eiha has quite the cute design Very Happy

Also, Hitoshi Sakimoto doing the music should be awesome.

Actually, there are three males there. Ibuki and Kaguraba are also males. Originally, Lou/Rou was a male too, but they changed it for this anime adaptation.

Well, what do we have here? A collaboration of Gen Urobuchi with Fate/Zero and Madoka Magica, Kinoko Nasu with Fate/Stay Night, and Ryohgo Narita with Baccano and Durarara, now this is an interesting set of creators. I will have high hopes for this.

Somehow, the entire concept reminds me of Rage of Bahamut: Genesis.

lol Then please show me it states that Takeuchi did the illustrations because it wasnt mentioned in none of Chaos Dragon's articles. Also, I will admit I chose a poor word as "draw," when it said Nasu "created."

That's not what I inferred. Nasu creates the characters, gives a description of their appearance and personality, and then gets on with playing the game. You claiming "Nasu really tried to not draw Saber" is just that, a factually inaccurate statement.

Nasu can't draw, he's a writer. That's why all of the Type Moon creations are passed on to Takeuchi or OKSG to bring to life with Nasu having the last word. For this series, the article has quite a long list of illustrators employed for the net game, some of them if I recall should be doing the designs for ALL of the created characters.

"Drawing" and "creating" are two very different words, although you're well aware of that surely.

So, everyone presented is the real counterparts of Red Dragon game... except the Urobuchi character. Seriously, they're turn his dark Eastern-inspired assassin male monk to the... female.
Oh god, that's funny.
