AnimeOnDemand have finally announced a streaming title for the 2012 Winter season! - Rinne no Lagrange: Flower declaration of your heart. AnimeNewsNetwork describes the series as:

In the storyline, a girl called Madoka is recruited by another girl, Lan, to pilot the robot "Vox" and protect her city from space invaders. They are joined by a third girl, Muginami, who has a different goal than Ran. Meanwhile, they still don't know their enemies' true goal, or what "Rinne" might be.

A trailer can be viewed here.

The series will run for 12 episodes from January to March, then another 12 from July to September. Tatsuo Sato (Marian Successor Nadesico) is Chief Director. Toshimasa Suzuki (Sōkyū no Fafner: Dead Aggressor: Heaven and Earth) is the series director. Car company Nissan is behind the robot designs, while Haruyuki Morisawa (Dream Club, To Aru Hikūshi e no Tsuioku) drew the key visual art.

The series is an original story by Production I.G., with animation by Xebec.

Awesome, one of the shows I was most looking forward to based on trailers/using the word "Lagrange" in the title.

Now they need to get the site updated to reflect this!

Sounds like something I've probably watch and hopefully enjoy.

It does seem to have taken on a new level of popularity this last twelve months or so, Lawro, Horizon is another show to have gone split-cour from the outset. Hopefully it means fewer instances of work falling behind as we reach the end of seasons.

The first two episodes are now online. The third episode is expected to be on next Thursday (AoD also have countdown page up for it).

About time as well. Hopefully it wasn't just the graphics that have been holding it up since last week.

Finally! This series has grown on me as it has gone on, hopefully AoD can catch up "properly".

I still need to watch this.

Having watched the first three episodes I'd say that there is more fan service that I would have liked, but other than that it's been very enjoyable so far.

Your fanservice tolerance must be pretty low then, since this show is quite light on it imo.

It probably is. Once or twice I don't mind. A few more than that I start to think "this is getting a bit old hack". If it's just fan service, well at least I know what I'm getting.

All I remember of the show is that there is Robot German Suplexing.

What did you consider to be the fan-service that was overdone, then? Or do you just mean stuff like the default outfit that Lan is wearing?

Hard to put an exact figure. All I would say is that I don't mind it a few times, and that I don't mind it a lot of it is that kind of show, but if it is between the middle (like it does not know what to do) then it gets annoying. I just end to think: "Is this a fan service based show or not? If it isn't then get back to the plot."

Heh, fair enough.
