Well, the OVA was good, so Im going to give this a chance.

>Mikleo that low

Shit ranking.

>it's confirmed to be 25 episodes long

That means the HF movie wont come out this year?

Fuck.

Is this going to be God Eater all over again?

Pretty much yeah.

Is the game any good, I mean, story wise?

that looks like one of locon's traps at first glance

It's gonna be split cour actually

and here's the OP in shitty quality if anyone cares: youtu.be/kMZD46WGPN0

I hope they added some new shit.

It was already confirmed to come out in 2017 dumb shit.

>draw a shit
>call it a best
Why is OP always a faggot?

Not bad.

Is the anime a direct adaptation of the game's story or a sequel?

>Velvet

Sooo they're gonna be changing the plot or something?

Edna is best girl. Fight me faggot.

Hell no. That's partially why this anime exists.

They've already added considerably ALOT, I think general direction will be the same but right now, there's no way of knowing.

This is literally called ToZ The Cross.

Yes, they already said it in an interview actually.

Oh, well I'll give it a watch then.

Did anyone actually here watch it at Anime Expo?

I heard they showed dubbed episodes. I was wondering if Funimation actually bothered to get everyone from the dub game cast.

Why is Velvet in the opening?
Who is that new character from the PV's?
I want more Edna.
Bamco better announce Innocence R localization at Anime Expo.

I'm in need of some normal fantasy, looks like this one is alright enough.

I kind of enjoyed the game's story actually. I mean, it was horribly put together and had one of the most shallow villains in any Tales game, but at least it tried to do something a bit different from the same formula every Tales game has followed for the last two decades.

This, I'm watching this because I'm tired of Isekai bullshit and I want some straight fantasy anime.

I think Heldalf was one of the better villains.

I liked the fact that they were straying away from magic resources being the main driver of conflict. That shit gets old fast.

Summary of the first episode:
>Alisha discovers a mural of the Shepherd with some of her personal guard (Girl A and Boy B)
>talks excitedly about how Girl C would love to see this
>back at capital, she calls Girl C off her post and sends her to investigate the black miasma since it's originating from her hometown
>Alisha talks about preparations for the Holy Sword Ceremony with Maltran, gets into an argument with Bartlow and co. because they intend to use the Holy Sword Ceremony to conscript participants into the military to prepare for possible disaster relief
>gets worried about Girl C because she hasn't come back in weeks, decides to check up on her
>attacked by Scattered Bones while on the road
>manages to fend them all off, Alisha fights and dispatches the last one and cuts off his mask
>it's revealed to be Lunarre, Rose's voice suddenly sounds from nearby, ordering him to retreat
>he refuses and transforms into a Hellion and disappears
>Rose chastises Alisha for her sense of mercy, stating that she had the opportunity to kill Lunarre but chose not to, then disappears
>Alisha investigates the crops on the way to Girl C's whereabouts, gets mistaken for a thief by a little farm girl
>eventually the misunderstanding is cleared up and Alisha befriends the farm girl
>finally reach Girl C's location, but the moment they spot her the miasma acts up and suddenly kicks up a huge tornado
>the professor Girl C was assisting was researching the leylines underground and ends up trapped by the miasma, forcing the others to abandon him

>Girl C jumps onto Alisha's horse and they all escape by horseback

>Girl C tells Alisha that they can't outrun the storm if they're both on the horse and insists that Alisha abandon her
>Alisha refuses
>the professor who was investigating the leylines happens across a dragon sleeping underground, awakening him and is promptly incinerated by him
>Symonne appears and begins attacking Alisha and Girl C on horseback
>Alisha is flung off her horse and turns around to find that the horse and Girl C have both fallen into a deep ravine
>runs to the ravine and screams Girl C's name in vain

>Alisha doesn't know what the hell is going on and completely freaks out
>Symonne loses interest and disappears
>Alisha gets back to the town and finds it completely destroyed
>the farm girl she befriended is miraculously alive and calls out to her
>but then gets sucked up by the storm as well and killed
>Alisha goes full despair

Subs when?

The OP looks and sounds great. Always believe in FLOW.

Wait, is that fucking Velvet fighting Sorey?

ufotable prioritizes typeshit over talesshit just like what happened with god eater.

They would delay talesshit over typeshit.

Played 10 hours of the game, should I finish it first?

It is one of the weakest tales games.

Yeah. That's why the promotional images say "The Shepard's journey transcends Zestiria". They're gonna expand it a bit and include Velvet to promote her game. Gonna be interesting how they do it considering she's not even supposed to be alive in this time period.

How the fuck is this even suppose to work? It better not be time travel bullshit but I don't see how else that would even make sense. Unless she's just in the OP to tell people to buy the game.

They seem to be completely rewriting it the story, so not really.

>Video game adaption
>Normal fantasy

Pick one.

Worth it for the character interaction alone. Plot is nothing special, but the character interaction is what makes the game good. Plus it seems the anime is changing some stuff so might as well enjoy both.

Zestiria is one of the most straight fantasy Tales games though. Very little bullshit fantasy sci-fi stuff that seems to be in most JRPGs nowadays.

>Those screams and cheers for Lailah and Dezel

God damn son.

Why are Americans so fucking obnoxious?

Yes even Zelda fell for the ancient technology meme now

Why do stupid burgers have to yell obnoxiously at everything?

They already did back in 2005 with Twilight Princess.

I am waiting for this show merely so that japanese start making porn for it on pixiv

Too bad 90% of it will be yaoi

No, Tales of Zestiria story and characters are actually good. It`ll be Tales o Symphonia all over again.

autism

Yeah, no.
>lets ask Rose to join us for no reason at all
>Rose has a high affinity for Seraphs despite not being able to see them

>So, the first episode of this starts airing in a few hours
when

4hs40m.

4 bongs 40 bings

>Latifah

>she's not even supposed to be alive in this time period
>implying they can't put in arena battles into the anime

But Jade and Sophie are the cameo fights for Zestiria.

Yes

But it's always as an optional subquest. If it's the anime it's supposed to be canon.

Because they are fat

No, the visuals are actually pretty.

Well, Velvet isn't the only new character. Remember the blonde guy from one of the PV's?

>have to yell obnoxiously at everything
Because they think acting retarded is cool

Yeah I remember him. He's probably related to Oscar.

Velvet does have a "Time Traveler" title in one of the menu screens we saw, so yeah.

>Time Traveler
Oh boy.

That doesn't sound that good.
But we might get to see Edna etc. in Berseria.

will Ufotable make it more gay?

There is nothing gay in the first place, so no.

Watch the opening and see the pandering. It was posted in this thread.

Mikleo > Lailah > Edna > Matron > Rose = Alisha

Anime pushing Rose/Alisha and Sorey/Mikleo hard. Now that Rose and Alisha have met before the main plot started things will probably change between them, the OP and ED has them very close.

>Now that Rose and Alisha have met before the main plot
What?
Are they changing the script that much? They might have a non stupid reason for Rose joining in later if that is the case.

Have you looked at
? They are legit, Symonne and Lunarre may even have more reason to exist in the plot too.
And check out the OP

I watched the OP vid, but I don't want to read a summary. What is the point in watching the anime if I did.

Western fujoshis are even more annoying than japanese ones.

>no one cheers for alisha solo appearance
>some guy sounds like he had an orgasm for dezel fight scene
My sides

Rip headphone users

Alisha bullying is strong.

Will neetball stream it?

Stream where?

You can watch it live on Nico
live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv268053154

I'm not in Japan.

Why would people still shilling ToZ and Ufotable?

I hated ToZ and not generally a fan of Ufotable, but this is still the best looking anime this season.

Rose is the best girl.

Because you can't read.

>but this is still the best looking anime this season.
That 95% will become true but do i need to feel impressed about that?

2h 15m left

>Edna > Alisha > Rose > Latifah > Mickleo

+ 2 hours for subs

So no need to play the game first, right? I've been meaning to get into the Tales games for a while now but I've heard Zestiria is sort of a mess.

She will be the heroine this time right?

HIBIKE! KAZE NO UTA

I'm fine.

Tales of games are nothing special in the story department, people play it for the gameplay.

Zestiria gameplay is shit, so its a bad tales of.

Also Edna is best girl in zestiria

Yeah, it's right after macross.

No, Mibo is.

Nice.

destiny ps2 english patch fucking when

Ufotable ships them.

>a literally who animator at ufotable ships them
fixd

Disgusting. It's unbelievable how they may get in the way of true love. Pic related is OTP.

>Tales of games are nothing special in the story department

Tales has some of the best stories in video games. Sure zestiria was shit, and xillia is super shit but symphonia, vesperia, destiny, hearts and eternia were bloody amazing. And abyss was the BEST GODDAMN STORY EVER TOLD.
