Story about the most unstable city on earth, Tokyo, got turned into jugle (at least it didn't explode like usual) from the cause of global warming. A girl named Kuniko Hojo fight her way along with a rebel group called Metal-Age. Though some anticipated this will be another Pantsu Witches which is full of fanservice, at least the concept looks promising enough. I really don't mind about fanservices as it's the only thing that kept the anime industries alive. Even that, loli are most welcomed. . I think she's legal because she's 18 years old, accompanied by 10 and 8 years old loli.

I really like Range Murata and I also like GONZO's work(NHK ni Youkosou, SnHanayome etc2). Though they had cut their workforce by 75%, we can just see how this anime turns out. There are also a few concept arts by Kenichi Yoshida(Eureka 7, Overman King Gainer) from the novel, but gonzo choose range for the anime series, wonder why GONZO is very careful with this. Waiting for the release of the official trailer on youtube. I think anyone who enjoyed Last Exile concept will surely like this one. No comments about the director since he s not my favourite.
While waiting for it, let us enjoy the Nipples Witch DVD, Tower of Druaga and Linebarrels release for now.

Have mecha? No mecha no love

I tot Shangri-La opening song for Fafner the Azure

Nope, but it'll be an action anime as usual.

Did I heard loli?

i heard the calls of the lolis and i have arrived.

From the animenews network announcement, it will began airing in crunchyroll starting April 6th. While the novel received a good audiences in japan, will a loli rebellion force anime will be full of fanservices or become packed with action and heavy storyline.

Shooped by Qix

yuri? if yes, might skip

oh my lolis army..

Maybe not, because we have two TRANSVESTITE in the series.

I don't think she is a loli, she is 18 years old. For some, she is too old. LOLOLOLOLOL

She'd look more loli if they stuck with range murata's designs.

Kuniko Hojo as illustrated by Yoshida Kenichi from the novel isn't loli at all

But thanks to Range Murata we have this

Kuniko Hojo image has been altered from serious teenage girl to bright little girl.The boomerang design has also been revamped to look more mechanical.

Its obvious that Murata's design is superior.

of course it is superior since it panders to you, wolf?

I was expecting more like its superior because he's an award winning artist and designer, but if that's your way of saying I have superior tastes, yes i do and thanks.

I thought you like the show because it has lolis...

Legal loli is legal . May'N will sing the OP for the anime. And of course, I'm a Range Murata fan also . Only 12 episode, maybe not that interesting after all. Hearing bad rumors about Gonzo in sankaku.

Well gonzo have to prove themselves in order to gain investor confident...

Updated first post with trailer. Thanks to stormy for pointing it in his blog.

Looks interesting =)

OP is leaked, very fluid, very nice art.

No fan-servicing spotted at all . 5 days left until it's broadcasted.

may'n!may'n!may'n!...

i scent yuri

lolwut transvestite!?

like the boomerang

First episode is now available on crunchy-roll.

Though i saw many animation errors , maybe the boomerang can change size like goku's rod.

they might be just screwing up the first episode. Following episodes should be ok ones.

lol, carbon credits... should i expects them to start talking about the FTSE's soon after?

the first episode isn't that impressive. I'll give this anime a second chance before i drop it.

loli+giant boomerang= must watch

the future of effective non lethal way of combat?

kewl baby cool!

Not in the luxury to download any anime. Duh, I really miss my 2Mbps line. This 512Kbps shared with three pple really cant do a thing.

same as u, stunned to c those large place

doesn't look like gunslinger girl season 2.
looks promising...

UWEK...why theres maknyah in this anime?

this make me wanna to puke..

Looks like Last Exile is even better than this

How is this anime bad? im watching it at ep 6 now,and its really intresting @_@

APPROVED.

Anyway, right until today I still dunno what is this anime talking about...

it is quite intelligent series, need patience to ravel the background. all I figure is this is what happens when global warming gone awry and machinations to manipulate carbon emissions and economy for their own agenda.

yeah, EP10 is out!!! shangri-la is my top anime now!

all you need to do is google "Carbon tax" and then PROFIT

Took me until episode 8 to find it interesting. And somehow the subbers did a good job translating it.

epi 11 out soon ..2day ETA
moon sun and land meet ?

masashi89, Mono is sexy a woman Plus she had the full operation... so she is pure woman now hahahah.

Eccentrical, she has two boomerangs. A small practice one and a large combat one.

Well this website is awesome. Hopefully I'll find more anime's to watch through this site.
And this one is full of win.
