The upcoming Kihei Senki Legacies has received its first trailer. This series, as we previously mentioned, is fueling the semi-frequent zeitgeist in anime that gamers make great mecha pilots (a posit will heartily concur with!). However, this premise does go beyond the narrative background of the series itself. As the entire show appears to animated in 3D CG, in a manner not too dissimilar to the recent OVA Freedom.

Is that boy piloting a giant robot with…turntables?
And I thought motorcycle controls in giant robots was out there.
Heheh, musical controls for mecha is a long and proud tradition. The Pagorta from the L-Gaim OVA sported a piano based control setup in the cockpit. Not to mention the Fire Valkyrie in Macross 7 being controlled with a guitar!
