[Anime] Kyoukai no Kanata (KyoAni)

Kyoto Animation updated its website for Nagomu Torii's Kyōkai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) light novel series on Wednesday to reveal that an anime adaptation is in the works.

The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears human, he is half yōmu 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.

Kyōkai no Kanata received an honorable mention in the novel category of the Kyoto Animation Award program in 2011. The studio released the first volume last year, and the second volume will ship on Monday.

Since when Kyoani made an idea to make a dark anime??? I thought is all about cute girls doing cute shit???
In all seriousness, i'm looking forward to this~ :3

This.

I crossed out the last part because I'm not really all that into action/fantasy anime and it seems to be one.

I'm in. This looks like it's going to be good.

[size=14][color=black][font=Times New Roman]I'll watch it but I'm not too sure that it's going to be great. I'll hope for the best.[/font][/color][/h]

I like the gif.

The main girl looks ugly, but I'll watch it regardless.

So many light novel adaptations, its Kyoani so ill still end up watching it probably.

Looks like it's going to be a bit of a dark series, which I'm hoping it will be good considering this is KyoAni. The megane girl looks cute though.

Quoting from The Café

Looks interesting. Very interesting.

New CM came out today:

HYPEEEEEEEEE, NEW TRAILERS:




There's also some character info here

As Simon wrote in said chat. The two trailers are very different.

The first trailer isn't very Kyoani like at all; with action and monstrous creatures. While the other trailer is more traditional moeblob Kyoani. It will be interesting to see how they fit together. I hope Kyoani can combine them in a smooth natural way and not make it seem forced and greasy.

Episode 1:
Good Start, I don't see any problems. I love that Chihara Minori is in this. I just hope this is a sign that KyoAni can actually give us more balanced anime focus.

the first epd was pretty damn cool.

The first episode was really interesting. Will continue to watch.

Didn't watch any PV's and was expecting Tamako Market with red glasses.

This is something I've been waiting years for... and no, it isn't the series. For the first time Ishidate Taichi is working as a full-fledged director for the entire length of production. I loved Taichi's work in After Story, Hyouka and Kanon; to top it all off he was also the assistant director for Nichijou. I expect glorious things from this man. Even better, Tsuruoka Yota is on sound, he's been in my good book since Appleseed and won my heart with Afro Samurai.
