I'm not fond of the character designs but when animated, it looks decent. I hope this will be faithful to the manga of course as this is one of my most anticipated series for Fall.

Gotta say, I'm not too big on creepy/horror/gore stuff. While this does sound interesting, the best thing (in my book) it has going for it is that it'll probably be a full story being animated. I'd be surprised if a long finished manga didn't get a full animation adaption.

Something really needs to grab me in the first episode. The last anime, that could be said to be similar to this, I tried out was Tokyo Ghoul. And, I dropped that one as that first episode was way too predictable...where it was already fighting my dislike of gore/horror elements.

Really hoped this would be voiced so I can hear Ms. Hirano.

Well, she hasn't been gone. At the very least, she's been voicing Fairy Tail's Lucy. Other recent roles I can remember are Paiman in Gatchman Crowds and a role in Witch Craft Works (forget who she played).

On the Haruhi front, she did record a song for the pachinko promo. And, I assume she'll probably be playing the character again for the Yuki anime.

It's official, so... yeah. Everyone has their dark side. Lucy Heartfilia is no different. Very Happy

Looks good, hoping it won't flop.

Seeing it animated, I do much accept the look now. And the gruesomeness of the manga still appears to be clearly intact, I do approve of that. I'll be checking it out at least (though I won't expect any surprises from the story; I've had this manga since Del Rey published it and read it multiple times), but hey, the animation looks pretty damn good.

I just saw RightStuf delisted yet another volume, think Kodansha will re-print it? They'd be fools to miss a potential tie-in this big if you ask me.

The manga is one of my top favorites. The anime I don't find as appealing based off the preview but I still look forward to it.

I know she hasn't been completely gone but she had only a few roles after the scandal. She's getting more and more. Plus the pachinko song which was a great possible indicator that the producers might reconsider with her getting her fame back.

Oh man, I haven't seen this series since it ran in Mixxzine. I never finished it, but the main character (I think they just called him Shin in Mixxzine?) looks different than I remember. May have to pick up the Kodansha version to refresh my memory. Still, I'll definitely be giving this one a watch!

Also, Aya Hirano as Migi? Interesting...

Man those parasyte/eye things look creepy and disgusting, and the animation looks great. Looks good, but I don't know if I'll check it out. The whole body horror stuff is a bit too much for me.
