The trailer seemed to have plenty of blood, so hopefully they'll keep the gore and violence in the series, for now it seems like it should be pretty loyal to the manga, and that's good.
is this the new series made by the author of GTO?
It's indeed... So, you know there'll be some hot chicks.
Shinsen subbed the preview:

The graphics indeed look delightfully similar to GTO. The style depicts girls more seducing and dangerous looking than innocent, which is a nice variety every now and then.
Well, needless to say, the settings and plot sound quite interesting, so it's not even just for the graphics.
Here are some screen caps for the first episode in case anyone is interested. Beware of spoilers. Keep in mind that nothing in those screen caps can be discussed here yet, just go see them out of your own curiosity.

Episode 1 by Oyasumi:

Hurry and get this shit, it'll be awesome.
The first eps was pretty good, no considerable censorship, which is always good for series like this.
Two things I didn't like about it where some of the odd hair colors, especially Shindou. Also, I don't know the exact cause of it, but the sound on Oyasumi's version was pretty poor quality. It sounded metallic and filled with minor bursts of static. I hope it was just the raw they got.
hehe, well this seems to be my 'gory pleasure' of the new season.
Loved the use of sfx in the first sequence, the echoing, the lack of voices and sounds, very well done. The sounds/voices those monsters make... man I'm gonna have nightmares about those fuckers... However it the voices afterwards did sound very 'staticy' as Ryll mentioned above... hope that won't be the case next time, it was really annoying... Music was pleasantly good.
I can hear the scribble of thousands of pens belonging to perverted doujinshi artists already working furiously on some doujin porn about Shindou and his sister... and yeah, that's some fugly ass hair on that guy.
A murder involving hundreds of people and Shindou is talking about the killer? Yeah, one guy killed all those people, right. Possible oversight in the translation?
Kunikida cracks me up. Jumps out fast into my 'fave character' race. Nice, unique sounding voice too. "And don't forget the shotguns!" Damn straight!
as for VAs: Shindou = Shinn Asuka (the laugh gave it away)
Saya and Shindou's friends aren't too familair to me, but the friend has a very familair sounding voice... can't place where from though
that weird girl who licks Shindou's face = Rin Toshaka (F/SN, watched an ep right before this show)
Contrast between humor and gore is actually pretty good in this first episode. I didn't feel like either elements went 'over the top' in being used. One thing that sorta distressed me was the somewhat shoddy animation in parts of the encounter at the end with the Human Face monsters.
All in all though a very promising looking series. Oh, and Shindou looks to be holding a nice sized broad sword in the ED = )
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Yeah, I liked the first episode also... Glad they didn't censor much, and the gore is still there.
I just hope they don't make up shit for the ending, since the manga is still ongoing but the mangaka is being lazy. I hope if anything, they do a second series later on instead of writing some shitty ending for the series just to conclude it.
This looked like an excellent series! A really good find. The similarities to GTO are very evident and striking, right from the beginning with the generous sister - quite familiar mentality. And although I earlier said the style depicts girls more seducing and dangerous looking (than innocent), there is obviously a clear division there actually, between ordinary and extraordinary (or just dangerous) girls, like in GTO.
It's really refreshing stuff. Ruthless, straightforward people and action. It's kind of hard to yet really see what's going on at all, but that's only good. And if GTO taught us anything, we won't probably be bored with mythology but will get practical solutions to practical problems.
Interesting first episode. The face bugs were a little weird. The transitions from "normal" to "blood n gore" kinda reminds me of Elfen Lied. The ED shows Shindou with a big ass sword, and he's called a traitor, so I'm eager to see where it goes from here. My guess is that all the people in Tokko and Shindou are related to that cult thing at the beginning.
The screaming face bugs were weird. The face bug's hosts were tearing them civilians up pretty bad though! I'm going to definately keep watching this, especially if there is a lot more tearing limbs off and shit.
How are the infested people able to tear through humans like paper, yet unable to crush Shindou's neck?
Because they weren't trying? For some reason they hesitated to do so, and it cost them their lives when Tokko arrived. I guess something about him being a traitor had something to do with it.
I really like the first episode for many of the same reasons already stated. One question, does anybody know how often this will be released? Just curious if it will be weekly or longer.
Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

It will be daily releases.
I guess I need to clarify. I saw that episode 2 was up already, but what I didn't know was how long it took Oyasumi to sub the first one. Thanks for the smart ass response though.

You don't have to clarify, I know what you meant with your shitty question.
Just so you guys know, Manga Entertainment has the rights for Tokko in the United State. No it's not dropped, so don't bother asking.
