Had to watch without sound, but that looks beautiful. And interesting. Will follow up on this.

This looks neat and all, but there's something putting me off about it that I just can't understand. This has really strong Death Note vibes and then some futuristic Monster Hunter stuff.

This makes me think of TWEWY for some reason.

re: Freedom Wars "Panopticon"

Only reason someone would say it has a Death Note vibe is because the numbers above their heads have a similar font/orientation. Hell, the number in Death Note is a(n altered) date, not a countdown. It doesn't even look like said countdown signifies death (though I guess it could be), but something else, seeing as how babies start out with what I'm guessing is a uniform number, considering how round it is.

This has more of a Monster Hunter/Persona vibe with a little Bounty Hounds thrown in, if you ask me.

I really liked the series. I just don't like how blatantly similar the look of it is.

That and the focus on his eyes after looking at the numbers. Or before, I forget which.

Yeah I see some concepts from Monster Hunter, TWEWY, and God Eater as mentioned above. It says more information will be released on May 21st. I wonder if this is Sony's IP game they've recently mentioned hmm.
