@EcchiGodMamster Indeed the legs look really promising on these miladies. Too bad I dont like robot/mecha megazord animes but will do research on their fan art for sure!

@EcchiGodMamster Well, at the moment it doesn't look like an all-female show with a few supporting male characters. But who knows what it will be like when the premiere actually happens.

@RobertBobert

@EcchiGodMamster Judging by the interviews they have really high hopes for it, even to the point of turning it into something like UC Gundam. Although, as far as I understand, with very various protagonists if it really takes off in the future.

@Yubisoft The reason for this is not so much that they know what they want or not, it’s just that the Japanese market loves to tease more than to give some kind of objective canon like in the West. Not to mention that G-Wtich fell into the typical trap of "we want to attract Western audiences with yuri, but also don't want to lose the original traditional (to put it mildly) market." People always say that the creators simply didn’t have the balls to make the characters in some ship bait show a couple, but in reality everything is much simpler. So, whether it will be yuri or not still depends on the original intentions of the creators, which we will only have to find out in January.
Moreover, given the controversy I mentioned with G-Witch, it is much easier to create formal just friends and attract both shippers and waifu-seekers to the show with them, than to strictly move in one direction and create disputes or misunderstandings. So far they have announced SoL short anime about the daily lives of the characters, which will be released before the premiere, as far as I understand.

It would be nice if the creators know what they want and decide if they are gonna make it Yuri or not because most creators lately create yuri baits like Lycoris Recoil and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. It's been sometime since I have seen a good yuri anime . Also people need to finally understand that the fact that the cover art has two girls together doesn't automatically mean it's yuri and a recent example of that is how people reacted to the Edomae Elf anime before it came out ... just saying .

@EcchiGodMamster Well, if so, the producer describes her as comedic relief, created to balance out the MC in what seemed to be too dark and ideologically heavy a story if she were a single protagonist.
Such heavy themes make for a serious story, and it was originally going to be Rouge’s story only. “Initially, this wasn’t a duo story,” Izubuchi said. “But when I was thinking about the story, [I realized that] I wanted to add a little bit more dialogue for comedic relief, have little moments of lightness, bring some fun, cute laughter. And all of this could be made possible … by having a dual main character.”

Nice Yuri anime and it's also gonna be an original so I'm really excited. Yuri anime are always welcome

I love the vibes of old action shows, but the level of drama at the end of the trailer seems unusual and intriguing.
@Old_School_Akira Yes, if a show has two female leads, then it will undoubtedly be an anime about romance between them and nothing else. At the moment the synopsis describes them as “buddies”, to find out the rest you just have to wait and see.
@EcchiGodMamster I don't know why you were attracted specifically to her, but judging by the announced characters, there will be quite a few female characters with interesting designs.
