Quantum Trailer

[Kuukai]

I think it's busted, I tried it with a Japan proxy and it still didn't work. Other Quantum links hosted in the same place work, just not the CMs:
http://anime.biglobe.ne.jp/title/3979/view/912/

I posted all the details for the manga on Facebook, and they should be in the news soon too...

Well that sucks... no trailer for us right now, I guess. And frankly, watching Yui Ogura advertise products and be cute isn't quite the same.
The news about the manga is exciting though. I hope it's not just a retelling.

[Serenity_Xth]

Well, it looks like we're gonna have a great time with this series, from the looks of it.

@AnimeMonkey, You a Hermit fan too?

[iuliathe3rd]

Oh, you know it. Learning more about Hermit is one of the top things I'm most excited about getting out of Quantum.

No you're right the video is region blocked. I managed to see it with a Japanese IP, but other than that there were various server errors and download statements when I tried anything else. 3/4 of the trailer was old content. At the end there's a scene with Sakuya fighting Iyoten and the party running along a bridge but that's about it. I'm not sure about legal standards, but if someone has a method I could save it. The buffer rate was bad...

EDIT - Returning characters

Iyoten

Asta

[TheSorrow]

So, are those REALLY Iyoten and Asta? The VERY SAME PK players that Haseo encountered like 2 or 3 times during the events of R:2?

Well, at least we have some returning characters for real XD Quite confusing though. Also, Iyoten's name is written in japanese this time, as opposed to just IYOTEN.

[(Phantom) Thief]

Yeah the information states they’re the same. (At least that’s what the bio implies). But ever since Link, I’m on that suspicious; it might some kind of advance A.I. road.

[_Tri-edge_]

I'm sick of Iyoten and Asta. We need sum Natsume thrown in here. :3

[iuliathe3rd]

I think it's interesting that some of the PCs we've seen are actually returning characters. Maybe there'll be more like that, who knows.

Also, they posted info for the BD&DVD and CD jackets as well as info on the "2nd Battle". For the second episode, there'll be mini posters of Mary.

Kunio!!!! :D Or it could be Lonely Wolf too, but i don't think he would have that kind of expression. And there's some sort of Grein clone or something o3o

HEY! LISTEN!!
I'm almost sure someone else already made that referrence though >-> ....But, could that be the thingy that comes out and shows you the map and stuff whenever you use a Fairy Orb? XD

http://www.kinemacitrus.co.jp/xml_img/b ... 01c-18.jpg

Natsume!!! :D (There's your reply, _Tri-Edge_ XD lol) Some Geist-looking thing!! 8D And....something else that kinda looks like an old guy with General Leo's clothes!!! 8DD lol

[iuliathe3rd]

... I can't see any of them at all. They all say "403 Forbidden". :T

Wow, I guess a web proxy alone was insufficient. It's good enough to trick niconico, but apparently not good enough for this. I wonder why they decided this one needed region locking...

Also, Iyoten's name is written in japanese this time, as opposed to just IYOTEN.

Nah, it's written exactly the same, they just put the reading in. It was never all caps in the Japanese version...

Yeah the information states they’re the same. (At least that’s what the bio implies). But ever since Link, I’m on that suspicious; it might some kind of advance A.I. road.

Yeah, it talks about real life, but the Twilight Knights were about this ambiguous. Still, the Twilight Knights should either all be gone or all still be around, and the former is a lot more likely...

It's pretty much Emmy from GIFT, who in turn could very well be using the character model of an in-game fairy... Both she and Uchy were in Link, so they're pretty much cannon on some level... (well Uchiyama also sent you all those postgame emails, they changed the sender in the US version)

That happens when your browser tells them you're coming to the link from a site other than their own, they disable that to avoid people "stealing" the image. But you can almost always get around it by doing a full refresh (shift+refresh) since now you're technically coming from their site, which you're already at, to look at it.

Ahh yes. Quantum is now complete for me.

Ahh, 'kay. Thanks. Got them to show up after pressing ctrl+shift+refresh.

And they are now saved to my computer~

Yay front page!

Favorite:

EMI!

And even more G.U. models. I think the puts the numbers into a bigger gap.


Im on the fence about the character, since I don't know much, but I am absolutely loving the setting and scenery.

[Kuukai]

Actually I think the percentage of specific R:2 character bases is still around 60%, including Natsume since it looks like the R:2 version. A lot of the minor PCs look like they're from R:2/R:X, but I'm not sure they're obviously a given character in the same way these guys are, or just a bash-together of features...

R:1 - Kite, Blackrose, Balmung, Mia, Emmy
R:2 - Asta, Iyoten, Yowkow, Natsume, Piros the 3rd, Aina, Grein, Kuhn, and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting someone from the first round of characters
R:X - Klarinette, Geist

Who am I missing?

[(Phantom) Thief]

You have most of them, there should be two left, unless you wanna start counting minor PC's (Is it me or is Syake freaking everywhere). At the moment Alkaid and Atoli just resemble their original models from the back. I was thinking Natsume was a nod to her R:X mod.

Yeah, Atoli, and I think I remember seeing Negimaru, but that might have been just his character model. Like the guy in the white that looks a little like Silabus. Emi is a stretch for R1 returning character. I mean its obviously modeled after her, but unless she is a real character and not just a game guide fairy I don't think she should count anymore than all the R2 background models. Really though, with so many randoms looking like R2 or possibly RX. Its pretty much the central party is R1 and everything else is R2 with some RX bacon bits scattered over the top. Not that I mind. I prefer it that way over Haseo, Atoli, Ovan and Death Grunty being the main characters with Ryoko, Sanjuro and Renas running around.

That, good sir, was very amusing. Thank you.

Also, they posted some new stuff, the most interesting of which is this:



My Japanese is insufficient so I ask that someone kindly translate for the benefit of us all.
