Seeing the poster above, I can't stop imagining each episodes would start with a mention of "(something-something) technicolor", and end with a certain pig in the middle of circles going "T-t-t-t-t-t-That's all folks!" XD

@ZXEAN I wonder what will come out of this. I haven't read the manga and don't know what the art looks like in full, but I like media with a Chinese-Mongolian theme.

Good news for Shoujo/Joshi fans. First Wit and now Science Saru is working on Shoujo/Joshi series.

Having read the Manga I am surprised that this was able to get an adaptation but this is great news nevertheless. Really looking forward to the English print edition coming in the following months too.

Science Saru is the perfect studio to put this to the screen. If done right this could be a series of the year kinda show for me.

That announcement poster doesn't match the art style in the PV... The poster looks like Betty Boop/Cuphead, while the PV looks more like... a manga.

i was just about to comment how this looks like a 1970s manga, only to see its from 2021, then they updated the artstyle in the PV

@perseii That's just Saru reminding you they can still be creative even without Yuasa at the helm.

Still, the historical/political premise sounds very interesting, even though I don't know much about Mongolian/Persian history.
