In any case, my impression is a bit different. I think his high school design is "normal" while the middle school give off an impression of an annoying brat, which is appropriated I'd say. |

I'm afraid that I may end up hating the lead male. He looks like just another generic "straight man" who hates having fun and always ruins the punchline of every joke.
I know that I like Kyon from the Suzumiya Haruhi series, but that character was exceptionally well written and his lines were actually funny and clever, unlike the vast majority of this archetype. |

I finally got around to seeing the PV for this.
I have to say, that is an excellent PV... if this show was going to be the next Shakugan no Shana or Raildex. Seriously, if I knew nothing else about this anime, that's what this PV would make me think of: A show that mixes supernatural/sci-fi action with slice of high school life like Shana and Raildex do. I honestly feel a bit sorry for KyoAni's animators. It's so incredibly obvious that they'd like to do a more action-y show, but they're just not given those sorts of projects to work on. So while the PV is excellent in and of itself, I wonder if it'll cause a "bait and switch" effect for some people who watch the show? Well, probably not for the hardcore KyoAni fan, as they've already read up on this series a lot. So they won't get tricked by this PV, and will simply get excited by it. But for wider audiences, I can definitely see that PV setting expectations that this anime just isn't designed to meet. The PV has reinforced my decision to at least give this show a chance though.

I dunno, if anything I do applaud them for trying something different. People ragged SHnY's first, they ragged about Lucky Star's first episode, they ragged about Hyouka's lack of mystery, but eventually people got won over and those series became lauded by the majority.
The only miss they have recently, in terms of sales, is Nichijou, which I guess was too niche. Cheers.

Mr Hansen, it's not what you think! I was just going to tell her it's not good for such a young girl to appear in such a picture with all those lolicon Otaku on Pixiv.

Update! In addition to news that the anime will have articles in the latest Nyantype and Megami, we have new character designs!
Yuuta's Mom: (勇太の母) The person who gave birth to the Dark Flame Master. umx note: While the design is new to the anime, this character is not. Kuzuha Togashi: (富樫樟葉) The first sibling who shares the blood of the Dark Flame Master. umx note: While the design is new to the anime, this character is not. Yumeha Togashi: (富樫夢葉) The second sibling who shares the blood of the Dark Flame Master. Makoto Isshiki: (一色誠) The Dark Flame Master's brethren. This demonic being constantly plans every day to become the best partner one could want in their lives. He continues to add information to his database, the Index Revelation. umx note: This is the most drastic novel-to-anime character design change thus far. Here's what the novel version looked like:
