A shame that this staff is going to waste in a generic battle shounen.

Generic? It is far from generic. I am bored of shounen but this series in interesting. We have a likable MC who isn't a hot-head always yelling generic MC. The cast are likable and their backstory are great. No friendship power-up thing. No talk-no-jutsu. The MC straight-up kill the enemies without any hesitation.

Dat cast tho.....

Director is meh, the character designer Matsushima is fucking GOAT though. Hoping that he is doing more animation than on Zesty. Shiina x Kaijura is amazing too.

Heard so many good things about the manga, hopefully ufotable will deliver. That godly music collab tho..

Interesting staff members and a really cool key visual!

I enjoyed Tales of Zestiria the X and so I’m looking froward to this show, too! Yuki Kajiura for the Music promises some amazing soundtracks, so I’ll keep an extra eye on that aspect.

Ooooh Zenitsu, can’t wait to see him animated

And lmfao Inousuke

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THE GORE IN, DON’T CENSOR IT

So its pretty much the Tales of Zestiria staff uh.

I hope its not going to be as boring as Zestiria.

That Giyuu shot from an ep looks great. Hopefully the chara blends well enough with the CG background in motion.

Not the voice I expected for Zenitsu and Inosuke but I'll wait and see. Giyuu is great tho.

And of course, look at that Go Shiina and Yuki Kajiura collab lol. I love both of them so no complaining here.

Seeing that this is a production directly under Hikaru Kondou himself, hopefully this will be their love project.

If it is the same staff of Tales then we have the guarantee that it will be a quality series.
