bee-jerk Juushinki Pandora Reveals New PV & Key Visual for NEXT Arc.
So the Macross series creator, Shoji Kawamori, is now making a new series? Juushinki Pandora? Alright. I'll bite.

The real question is if the west will see it. After the Macross scandal years ago where someone stole it and copyrighted it, he hasn't let any Macross out of Japan. That's why we don't see it in the west.

Even though this is a new anime from him, looking at his history working on anime, it makes total sense that this would be another mecha. AKB0048, Escaflowne, and Sousei Aquarion are some of the shows he's worked on.

He's also working on Hisone to Maso-tan this season. I think we will see it in the west. Netflix is streaming it.

Synopsis

Leon Lau was in the middle of the Shouryuu Crisis, wherein the new-generation energy equipment made to replace the dried-up resources, the Element Reactor, went berserk, releasing an unknown energy before exploding.

After the crisis, the earth’s environment completely changed. Living creatures other than humans and machines evolved, giving birth to a new kind of being that would push humanity to the brink of extinction, known as “B.R.A.I.”

Seven years after the Shouryuu Crisis, Leon lives in a wasteland, away from the heavily guarded city of Neo Shouryuu. While living with Chloe Lau, who he promised to become family with, he researches how to fight back against the B.R.A.I. The scruffy Leon and caring Chloe may live as though they’ve forgotten the past, but a threatening reality is closing in on them…

Three Episode Impression

Honestly, we didn't even make it past episode two. So that is what we will talk about. Shouji Kawamori had a bad past with Macross overseas which is why Crunchyroll will probably never get this anime. The story is about AI that basically advanced itself so much that it integrated into all forms of life including plants and animals. However, when nature itself turned against humanity, humanity was not ready. Thus, humanity now lives scattered as bounty hunters try to take down massive monsters that roam the globe. They fight inside robots who utilize their humanity to move. If it sounds weird, that’s because it was/is. The show is tragically bad for the Macross creator and it’s really sad. Maybe if he branched out in another direction, then this would have been better.
