    Hopefully they realize that the story doesn't fit on a 26 episode series, and they don't fuck it up like Black Cat. Also good to see that the violence is still there.

    Ho... This looks like a series certainly worth watching, based on the description and those few shots. It's always a good sign graphical censoring is not in place, because that also potentially means a shift, at least a partial one, from shounen towards seinen. And that of course means lots of things.

    I'm going to check this out. Thanks for the heads-up, Bud.

    Hmmm, is it me or does the anime not really capture the gritty looking art from the manga totally?

    Can't really say much from those screecaps, they don't show much.

    I'm always into these sword-fighting things.... It looks and sounds quite interesting.. But like Munsu says.. Can't really tell much from the screenshots so will just have to wait and see!

    Here's a video from the Tokyo Anime Fair:

    Beware of possible spoilers, as some scenes seem from beyond episode 1.

    I don't like watching RAWs, even less discussing them, but I just had to see how they were adapting this series. There will be no spoilers in this post.

    I thought the first episode was pretty good, and the adaptation seems to be closely following the manga so far. The first episode was mainly 2 chapters of the manga combined, chapters 1 and 3. From the next episode it looks like it'll be mostly chapter 4, and probably combine it with some elements of chapter 2.

    So, so far I'm pleased with the adaptation. Not sure what to think of the VAs or the music yet, they'll probably grow on me.

    I can see many people being putoff by the first episode, especially because of some dullness in the characters etc. But the story will really improve as it progresses, so bare with it for now. There's currently 11 volumes (ongoing) of content, so you bet your ass there's plenty of room for character and story development.
