Bounen no Xamdou has gotten a proper trailer at its official site
Unfortunately it can only be viewed in Internet Explorer, but it’s a small price to pay for a delicious taste of what’s to come from Bones and the Eureka Seven team.
I haven’t had the chance to really watch it, but expect an opinion and some screen caps (for those of you not wanting to deal with the hassle of IE) soon.
Who’s a Xamdou?! What’s a Xamdou?!
It’s the most pressing question simply because the pedigree of this project does not have me worried AT ALL. BONES announced that they’re doing a new anime, and it’s using the staff of my beloved Eureka Seven, including my favorite character designer Yoshida Ken’ichi. And looking at the main site, I have no worries here either. This splash image just does everything right that it possibly could. A prominent, well-designed main character. A highly unorthodox being or robot or something tells me that this will be different. Or it’ll be a lot like Eureka Seven which is FINE BY ME.
There might even be the possibility it somehow relates to Eureka Seven. Would I prefer it? Maybe, but I will prefer whatever results in a better story.
I’m so looking forward to it, I’m going to give Xamdou its own category on this blog.
Watch out for it.
