Re: Aldnoah.Zero

Depends on how much work Urobuchi is going to do on this one. While he's credited on Gargantia, I guess he only actually worked on 2 episodes. Still, I have a feeling he's going to fully take the reigns on this one.

Which means it'll be grimdark and potentially joyless.

My guess is after he finishes up writing for Kamen Rider Gaim he should be fully taking the reigns like you said.

Re: Aldnoah.Zero

Technically speaking Urobuchi might not have written every episode of Gargantia, but he was still involved in conceptualizing the idea behind the series (along with the director, Kazuya Murata) and presumably also oversaw the work of the other writers to some extent. Either way, I liked the show well enough.

There's very little to say about the Aldnoah.Zero project right now, given the lack of data, but at least the first mecha design seems alright and the staff involved should make for an interesting combination.

I do imagine a lot of people will come into this expecting Urobuchi to go back into his usual writing style full of tragedy and death and so forth.
