The fighting was absolutely sick though, the kinda stuff you'd expect from a top notch company imo I felt it was rendered too cleanly. Toss on some gaussian noise at some points and it might be a little less noticeable ;o On the other hand, that clean style did really well for mirrors edge so.. | ||

First of all, it's anime because it's animation, and that's what the term technically means. アニメ simply means "animation". That's right, in Japan, they call He-man an anime. Secondly, it's anime because of the extremely obvious inspiration and artstyle. If anime "style" was patented, they would be sued out of their homes. | ||

If this was just another anime series then I wouldn't even care, but since it's made in the US it gives me hope for keeping the good aspects of the genre while ditching most, if not all, of the cliches.

Why do people keep arguing this when the definition of the word in English is clear? lol. http://www.wordreference.com/definition/anime http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/anime?ModPagespeed=noscript If it's animated and made in Japan then it's anime, if not then it isn't. | ||

I wouldn't consider Family guy anime, and it's certainly animated. When your definition is that broad, then its clearly wrong. This trailer clearly has stylized animation but I wouldn't call it anime. | ||

The fighting was absolutely sick though, the kinda stuff you'd expect from a top notch company imo The main animator, Monty Oum said that most of the animation for this teaser was done in two and a half weeks if I recall correctly. He's also said there should be noticeable improvement as he progresses through the series which isn't particularly unexpected because the next season of Red vs Blue is apparently supposed to be less animation heavy than the last couple, which gives Monty more time to polish the series. I'm mostly positive about this but I'm not the biggest fan of the small girl/big gun anime trope, nor of super-fighting female only teams in anime because they generally seem like mostly fan service to me. While you may not consider this anime, all three of the writers(Monty, Kerry, Miles) are drawing pretty heavily from anime. I still feel like this will be different enough to keep me interested and hopefully it won't fall into the pitfalls of small girl/big gun all-female squad anime. | ||

don't get me wrong, though. i think this looks amazing and will definitely be looking out for more of this as it gets progressively complete. | ||

This trailer clearly has stylized animation but I wouldn't call it anime. Calling Family Guy anime might sound dumb to the common Joe (though technically, it's correct, at least in Japanese terms), but question is if it isn't even dumber to define a genre based on the COUNTRY of the medium. That would be like saying "Meh, I'm a big fan of Amerigames, only video games made by american companies interest me". It would also be like claiming you can't make a JRPG unless you're a japanese company. It's obviously the style that matters (as dictionary.com shows), not the country of origin, since that's dumb as hell. | ||

Yellow could refer to Rapunzel's golden hair, but yellow isn't technically gold and the image in the trailer doesn't show any superlong hair. That's the best I could come up with. I've got nothing for black. Oh shit I just realized Bayonetta is a modern, dark version of Rapunzel. *mindblown* | ||

Actually, as previously pointed out the word anime has a different definition depending on what language you are speaking in. The western term may be derived from the Japanese meaning, but this does not make it the same. If you are speaking in Japanese, it covers all things animated. If you are using english it is used to refer to Japanese animation. source: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/anime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime | ||

Lyrics from the song: Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest. White is cold and always yearning burdened by a royal test -> She seems to be weilding a sword, maybe a stronger and slower fighting style. Black the beast descends from shadows -> Beuaty and the beast?, maybe some sort of summoner. Yellow beauty burns gold -> the blonde girl with the massively long hair? (I have no idea about her name in English), something related to fire perhaps? In any case, I like how in a podcast the makes explained that the recoil is the only reason she can wield the scythe like that and if you pay close attention the times when she doesn't fire when swinging she only makes shallow cuts. This is the sort of geeky logic stuff I like in a series : P! | ||

Who would've thought that the combination between gun and blade would make so much sense? O.o | ||
