Chrome Shelled Regios

It appears that quite a number of anime titles for the upcoming winter season has already been covered, which is a good sign, since it indicates that more members are taking note of the "Specific Anime Series" section.

Anyway, long story aside, I shall be introducing the title "Chrome Shelled Regios" for today, since I have a bit of time before I head to bed. Do bear with any mistakes I may make with its introduction, since my knowledge of Japanese is limited to a few kanji characters.

Like other action, high-school themed anime, such Tenjo Tenge and Ikkitousen, Chrome Shelled Regios features martial arts and most likely battles between students, since there is a mention of different teams, notably the 17th, where the main protagonist comes in. However, it appears that the setting for Chrome Shelled Regios takes place in the future, including the use of technology (and weapons) in the various combat scenes, unlike the typical Japanese setting which most of us are familar with.

The main reason why I may be watching Chrome Shelled Regios:
-As some of you may already know, I am not exactly a big fan of the action genre in anime, but those featuring schoolgirls are an exception. With schoolgirls, the likelihood of ecchi fanservice scenes tends to increase too. :D

Personally, I feel that the costume design has been nicely done, though it could be my schoolgirl fetish clouding my judgement.

[color=blue][font=Arial Black]Who else has Chrome Shelled Regios on their planned watchlist?[/font][/color]

cool, I definitely must watch this

is it aired already.......??? (Gotta check)

i got the wrong impression when i saw the pictures and the title...

i thought it was a space type mecha anime

and here i was wrong

It's on my to-watch list now. Thank you Gambler.

I've read a couple chapters of the manga before, and sorry to sink your ship, but it wasn't exactly ecchi. Perhaps the anime will be different so that it'll attract more viewers? :D

I look forward to the martial arts part the most anyways.

Just finished watching it, pretty cool. I think I'll wait for HQ epi's from now on though. LQ hurts my eyes.

hehehe downloaded it as soon as i saw it on fansub tv
but still havent watched it

^Same, but I downloaded it from animetake.

Well saw the first episode, and I am interested to say the least, mostly the character designs are keeping me from watching something else, I look forward to more.

Yep, LQ really hurts the eye.

although a bit different from the manga, It's still pretty good, jokes and fights are balanced.
:D

hmmmmmm the op reminds me of advent children because i saw a bike hehehehe

[font=Tahoma]Layfon is a total badass in the first 2 episodes.

I love episode 4 where Felli have this cute outfite and have try to smille hehe. (poor fridge)
The anime very intresting I hope that shortly come a new episode.

have been quite pleased with the progress of this series, despite having no clue where the plot will go thou

I've only seen 3eps so far, I'm ok with it.
(except for the NUMBER of characters this series has) :?

I especially like the OP theme.
(which I've already downloaded)

[Nipponsei] Koukaku no Regios OP Single - Brave your truth [Daisy x Daisy].†‹zip

I'm quite addicted to it atm.
(along w/ eufonius' "Anemoi")

12 episodes so far, bump time
I am in awe of this series' epicness, I don't think I need to say this it should already be implied but Felli is epic win nano desu

Indeed!

episode 11 featured FELLI's EPICNESS!!! :D (what's the term for it again?)

nomnomnom :lol:

btw, second ED theme is already up'd. Here's the torrents for the OST and OP/ED themes.

Since WA is done for the season, I'd probably start creating episode discussion threads for this one. (depends on my motivation) :roll:

Anyway, I still have no idea whatsoever about those "English speaking" characters that suddenly appear either around the start or at the middle of almost every episode...?? (WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?) :?

yes plz do Regios episode threads, without WA around I am serious going to be lacking some intelligent and in-depth episode reviews *not to say other aren't* you definitely provide something new to the table every time nano desu.
Each episode make me wish I claim felli as a waifu before it was too late, thou the lack of the sheep in the series(like in the manga) is a little bit of a let down, but I digress. Those "Enligh speakers," yea.....uummm ur guess is as good as mine nano desu.
Thx for the OST links, i was gonna look for em today, and this just makes it easier, thou really u only saved me like what a few seconds, but still thx nano desu

EDIT: in honour of episode 12 and bumping of this thread I offer these
