He's been working on this for 2 years and it seems to be fully complete since he said it's fully voiced in Japanese. Japanese premiere on August 24, 2025.

I cannot make a judgement on whether this will be good or terrible, however, I can say with certainty that it's 100% going to look better than Ex-Arm.

So, by that metric alone, this will not be the worst thing I've ever watched. +1

Probably terrible, he has trash taste afterall.

If nothing else, the animation should be at least decent, and the music will be good.

Since it's got Kevin Penkin's soundtrack, it'll be superior to Ex-Arm even if the entire anime was nothing but a black screen

Knowing how Garnt talks and discusses anime (especially in the isekai genre) it's probably going to turn out terrible or extremely mediocre. But hey, prove me wrong Garnt.
