Mecha will be CG. I've already resigned myself. Like even Sunrise has mostly switched over to CG for their big UC stuff (Narrative, Hathaway's Flash). And Build Divers is right now the only 2D mecha going on.

Im expecting CG too but the question is is it gonna look like shit or not. Really wouldve liked to have a look on the mechs.

The weird thing with the Gundam CG is that sometime they blend it seamlessly (Thunderbolt) an other times it's super obtrusive (Origin).

Lenas hair and eyes are way too blue, though. Reeeeeee

I don't hate the studio, I just don't know if the machines will look good or not with them making it.

Good lord K1 looks so off in the new higurashi. He looks like they paletteswapped short hair senjogahara.

Not feeling Higurashimonogatari.

I like the idea that after pushing the boundaries of sexual content allowed in TV shows with Reviewers, Passione could now potentially (depends on how they do it) push the boundaries of violent/gory content with Higurashi. The big 2 no nos of TV anime that will get censored (or outright not allowed) if they get too extreme. That said, even if it gets really violent, I don't see it getting dropped by whatever western simulcasting site gets the rights, like Reviewers was.
Violence tends to be less controversial/less of a problem than sex
In other news, Bofuri S2 hype

Well this season of show by rock was underwhelming, but bringing back all the old bands is definitely one way to get me interested and excited for a new season again.

As a newcomer, I found it cute and great and loved the shippy moments. Hated the boys though. So now I'm scared of having to go back to S1 and 2 since I hear they're less shippy and their boybands get more screentime
