I wonder if Yuuka will be into FictionJunction too this time since Yuki was talking about "5 voices"
But if she's doing the ED solo as I undestood... Can we expect her to appear in the OP as well, as part of a band? No precedents come to mind...
The show is from Sunrise, and the pics look like something from Megaman Zero rather than a standard mecha.
Wiki has no info, but I dug up the following on a Russian review site:
Director: Yoshimitsu Ohashi (Aquarian Age - Sign for Evolution, Galaxy Angel, Witchblade)
Script: Shin Yoshida (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Karas)
Original character design: Mitsumi Inomata (Future GPX Cyber Formula, Windaria, Tales of Eternia)
Original costume design: Ippei Gyōbu
Character design: Yuriko Chiba (Planetes, Steel Angel Kurumi, To Heart), Eiji Nakata (Eureka Seven)
So, the director used to work on Aquarian Age. By the way, he also directed Bakumatsu. As you remember, Yuki was involved in both projects.
I liked Inomata's designs for Tales of Eternia, and so far I like the design here.
OP stop cold フィクションジャンクション
ED 輝跡-kiseki- 南里侑香
Kiseki is a Japanese word, and they write it in Latin alphabet, then they write FictionJunction in katakana... Go figure.
The title has as many chances for ukatsu as the whole announcement (I have yet to forget Sanctuary and Vespertine
), butif it's real... hey, it sounds cool and promises a really energetic, powerful song.
Ah, having all five FJ girls sing in one song would be awesome...
All we can do is hope.
Shonen Anime? Why does it seem that FJ always does Shonen Anime
Was Ookamikakushi shounen?
"Stop Cold" may refer to a heart, I think. Like, well, in a moment of shock or something like that. But it may just as well refer to kinetic movement (stop advancing, walking forward physically and the likewise blahblahblah depending on the plot). Anyway, IIRC "stop cold" generally means "stop abruptly".
