Produced by Rooster Teeth, rather than Machinima, and Animated by Polygon (who did Prime and RID 2015). Interesting.

Uh oh.
Slightly less uh oh, tho it might give me reason to for the RT First membership, which I am tempted to do for Gen:LOCK, but not only for that show.

The first time I saw that Machinima was doing this, my hopes went down the drain, but if rooster teeth is helping out with this than it could honestly go either way. Let's hope this turns out okay.

The series on Machinima were awful IMHO... fingers crossed these will be better.

We all learn from our mistakes, so I'm choosing to assume that anyone who worked on the Machinima trilogy learned a LOT that they could apply to another better restart. Not sure if this will turn out to be the serious Gundam/Macross-esque show that the first announcement of the CW series got my hopes up for way back when, but I'm looking forward to this without getting my expectations over the moon.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out and if it keeps the same format episode wise as the machima series
