It looks awesome so far and we are pretty excited to watch it. It features some nice action scenes and the animation looks quite good. People who think this will be crap should know that its screenplay is written by Dai Sato, the man who is behind animes like Cowboy Bepop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Digital Frontier who also handled the animation in Resident Evil: Degeneration will be lending their efforts to this title as well.
