Like a goddamn phoenix KyoAni rises out from the ashes of fujoshi pandering and returns to making a decent series once again. Once news hit the streets people around the world rejoiced and a reported 36 suicides were stopped. The president of Canada resigned saying "oh snap this anime looks sick as balls." Life as we know it has been changed forever.

"The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears human, he is half youmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world. Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai." Starts October 3rd (source MAL)

I kinda hope they use new designs for the characters

It's really jarring to see Satoshi in Free! sometimes

Watching this mainly for the heroine. I'm hoping the story is also good, and it sounds good, but I'm mostly watching for the heroine.

KyoAni is enough of a reason for me to watch this, the fact that it sounds really damn interesting is just a bonus.

Come on, it may be fujoshi bait, but Free! has been pretty good.

Yeah, that's not really happening. These will be the same old KyoAni designs we all know and love.

Yeah, I don't know if you were joking or not, CC#06. Can't blame you if you don't like it (though I think you don't mind it anyway), it's just a bit of a stretch to call it "decent".

Anyway, the synopsis looks interesting. I was so sure this would be a horror since I doubt KyoAni has done horror titles yet, but supernatural's fine with me. As long as it lives up to what it's advertising (and it looks beautiful, as to be expected form KyoAni), I'll give it a watch. Honestly does sound like it's down my alley anyway. So that's another title to tuck into my belt for fall, then.

That's really the only thing I have against KyoAni. Reused character designs. I see they ripped Chitanda's design, and I saw two or three others that I swear they ripped out of their other anime

Of course it's a lie. Canada isn't a real country.

People live in Canada? I thought it was a made up land that had free health care

Canada is to America as Wales is to England, or New Zealand is to Australia, just parts of our countries that we let think are their own country.

Wouldn't Ireland be a better example for England? Because it tried to be separate and all?

A lot of studios do it, KyoAni seem to be the only one people complain about though.

I guess they could be interchangeable really.

Well, it's the only one I notice it with. Besides Shaft, with Hidamari Sketch and MSMM, but that connection is obvious

I have no doubt there are others, but KyoAni always seems to use the same designs for their characters

Plus, people like to hate on KyoAni because it makes good shows

Look at P.A. Works and three of their more recent series in Hanasaku Iroha, Tari Tari, and RDG.

Look at A-1 Pictures and things like The iDOLM@STER, Magi and Working!!

Although they aren't as blatant as KyoAni, the similarities in character design are easy to pick out. Other studios do have more variety though, which would likely be where they get off the hook. Look at P.A. Works with Uchouten Kazoku, or A-1 Pitcures with Uchuu Kyoudai. Though, to be fair, Nichijou wasn't exactly the same old art style you expect when you think of more recent KyoAni works.

I have no idea why this amused me so much but it did.

We've never let Wales think that.

Reason no. 9684 why it's the best.

That's true. It's just that since K-ON!, almost all of their designs are pretty much the same. I still love them to death, but KyoAni is really the only studio I see that does it so blatantly
