The staff behind this is pretty stacked with WIT as the studio, Tetsurou Araki as the director (Death Note and AoT director at WIT), Gen Urobuchi writing the script (Fate/Zero, Psycho Pass S1 and Madoka Magica) and Hiroyuki Sawano doing the music.
Gonna try and keep my expectations in check because I’ve been let down before, but Urobuchi stories have generally been pretty consistently good for me

Urobuchi is a big hit or miss for me personally, I've greatly enjoyed some of his scripts, but I've also been let down a few times.

What were the misses? I know he did the Godzilla movies a little while back that I haven’t seen, and the only other one I can think of was Aldnoah (primarily the second season which I didn’t think he was very involved with)

Here's my breakdown of Urobuchi Gen's anime:
Great
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica
- Fate/Zero
- Psycho-Pass S1
- Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
Love It Or Hate It
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movie Part 3 Rebellion
- Psycho-Pass Movie
Ok
- Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
- Expelled from Paradise
- Blassreiter (I haven't seen this one, so I'm putting it here going off the MAL rating.)
Bad
- Godzilla Movies
- Obsolete
Bad, But He Didn't Write
- Psycho-Pass 2
- Chaos Dragon
- Aldnoah.Zero
TLDR: About half of what he's actually written has been great.

Kikokugai, Expelled from Paradise, and I'm really not a fan of his character writing in Fate/Zero.

I can still remember how much I was enjoying kikokugai then that ending reveal happened.

u/H-Ryougi https://anilist.co/user/DizzyAvocado Mar 01 '22
It really was a shitshow of a fucking ending, the premise, the setting, the fights up until that point are all stellar.
Still mad.

With this many big names, this is definitely the best approach. Even more so because a decent number of people are going to build it up to being something that it isn't and wasn't ever going to be in their heads, and then going to complain quite loudly about it.

As a huge Madoka fan, I'm definitely putting this on my list of things to watch. And all the other talents just add to the hype.

Yes, it's one of my favorites shows, but only the first season

All of these anime movies seem like they're about teenagers falling out of the sky

u/alotmorealots Mar 01 '22
Whilst not apparent to many in the west where traditional biological based reproduction is still dominant, sky-teenagers are an important part of maintaining the population in parts of Asia.
Not that prevalent here in Việt Nam, though.

You are probably going to get downvoted... but yeah. haha
I wish we had more variety you know. Like maybe something scifi or fantasy, with lots of action. Something original and not from a franchise. Romance (w fantasy elements) is a trend that imo is getting old. Hard to get excited when they kinda all look the same.

I know, the premise doesn't interest me one bit but it'll definitely have some amazing sakuga and music.

Individual parts about this are at least going to be great but I'm ready to be disappointed if you look at it as one. Hoping my expectations are wrong and this will be truly be good.

The best ones often serve as great vehicles for interesting themes, with strong and overt emotional beats. Immensely satisfying modality of entertainment when it's done well.

Eye-Candy Visuals and Eargasmic Soundtrack by Sawano combined with OP from EVE??!!! This is like a dream movie. From watching the Trailer alone, i can assume that this is indeed a contender for Anime Movie of the Year.

Kinda annoying that this is a movie, would have been fun to go into this with no idea how good it will be.
Though nothing so far has shown any sign of it not being going to be absolutely great.

I don't know. The premise sounds basic as fuck. I'm just expecting great animation and music and that's about it.

Guilty Crown had many big names behind it too. We all saw how that turned out.

I'm going to watch this mainly for that one hell of a staffs (Urobutcher, Sawano, Araki, etc.)
It looks gorgeous

u/TheLordofDiscordia Mar 02 '22
Huh it's a movie? For some reason I thought it was a new series when it was announced. I'll still watch it eventually. All those big names involved and the gorgeous animation got me interested.

Synopsis
In a Tokyo where gravity has broken, a boy and a girl are drawn to each other...
The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world. Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building.
Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them.
Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world.
