Twich Films just released a new trailer for Anime Innovation Tokyo’s new independent project Cencoroll, and boy does it make me excited. It’s like FLCL all over again, but better! Not only does it look insane, but it was created almost entirely by one person, Atsuya Uki. He wrote the story, designed all the characters, animated it, and directed it all by himself; though probably got help with the music and the dialog.
The story is about a boy named Tetsu and his strange pet called a “cenco.” The cenco is able to change his form and morph into crazy things like a car or a giant baby-like creature with airplane wings. He ends up meeting a mysterious boy who threatens the town with a huge monster, who may or may not be a cenco itself. Also in the mix is a girl; I smell a love triangle! Cencoroll will be released sometime in 2009; and if we are lucky, a duel release in America as well since it seems to be a fad. Watch the old trailer after the jump.
I don't really know about the whole FLCL comparison but besides that it looks great.
Wish I could look at something better then the shitty you tube quality because it looks like it has incredible animation but I guess I will have to wait until it comes out to check it out.
Yeah, I'm not really feeling the FLCL connection myself, so much, either, except for the kid controlling a thing aspect. But it DOES look great, I'll give you that. It just doesn't appear to have the same must-watch-8-times-to-understand quality that I felt was the earmark of FLCL.
Just watched trailer, actually looks pretty darn good, I agree with kitsune's must watch 87 times over to understand part, which would be hard to do, but it looks like it has promise.
Anyone know the artist and/or names of the songs for the two trailers?
I heard the older trailer was by "83key" but i cant find anything about them and their website is broken. Not sure if the new trailer's song is by the same artist.
As said, looking quite good. And yes the FLCL comparisions are certainly there. I'm expecting the sexual undertones (although they were often oververt in FLCL), infact looking forward to them.
