noitaminA’s supernatural fall thriller to be released this upcoming October [UN-GO] has finally had its very first promotional video released – if its an accurate indication, the series may prove to be amazing.
Watching the PV, the initial striking feature is the enveloping exquisite sound of piano – the music is beautiful in all respects. Accompanying it are some interesting action scenes composed of first-class visuals. We’re shown some suggested sights of murder, and also a party with a classier, 1980′s-like atmosphere.
A mesmerizingly cute “bishounen” looking like a loli, wearing a pink trimmed panda suit is the most eye-catching facet of the video – he’s the secondary lead role, and he obviously stands out due to his colorful crossdressed attire. He’s somehow related to the male main character who is a rather tall, slim fellow – essentially everyone appears to have a regal aspect to their complexion, which is only fitting considering the nature of the series.
For those who don’t know or who have forgotten:
The unconfirmed premise for the story is based on Sakaguchi Ango’s historical novel “Meiji Kaika Ango Torimonocho” written in 1950′s. Taking place in the early Meiji period, a private detective Yuki Shinjuro solves cases in Tokyo with the help of Katsu Kaishu.
With an already fantastic fall line-up, this is bound to be one of the better few – and perhaps the very best in regards to the mystery genre in general. You can check out the official PV at the corresponding official site.

That’s a boy actually. Learn to read character profile first.

Loli? LOL, sorry, that’s actually a bishounen – according to the character profile on the official site.

This is one of the shows I’m really looking forward to this fall. The loli doesn’t look like a typical tsundere too. The visual style is different and refreshing, I can’t wait to for it!

“Visual style is different and refreshing” – I agree entirely, as with anything from noitaminA, it’s very suited to its own style. This series specifically however has a nice enigmatic twist I’m certainly interesting in seeing more of.

Oh, I didn’t read the post well enough. So the ‘loli’ is actually a trap? My bad…anyway, I don’t think that takes away from the potential of this show though! I’d really like to see that ‘twist’ though…

If anything the error is on my part. I agree the show has a lot of potential – loli or no loli, it looks fantastic thus far.

I didn’t realize there was an assortment of anonymous users so picky about their lolis and shotas – do forgive me.

Don’t underestimate US! Or something like that anyways.

As I always say; Everyone is gay for Bridget! I think this situation calls for no difference =)
Sep 1, 2011 @ 6:57 CDT
The day I found out Bridget was a boy was a terrible day indeed.
Sep 1, 2011 @ 22:49 CDT
I myself did not mind Bridget after learning the truth of him, I would even go as far as saying I even embraced him in a sort of way.

Perhaps I’ll check this out now that you’ve brought it to my attention yes.
In similar business, the Fall Anime that I’m most looking forward to is Persona 4 the Animation. Unlike Persona: Trinity Soul, this looks to be a faithful adaptation of the game which I enjoyed immensely, they even went as far to include the games battle cut-ins as cheesy effects. The only discord among fans I’m seeing is the protagonist’s assumed cannon name being changed from Seta Soji to Yu Narukami, in which I agree with their opinions, since Seta Soji just sounds so much cooler and more fitting to his image rather then Yu Narukami.

I can’t decide between the excellent fall line-up a single series in which I anticipate the most. Ika Musume, Working!!, Fate/Zero, even this one, and some others – a fine upcoming season indeed diverse in content.
