Guin reminds of Tekken King too. However, one must remember that Guin was around since about 30 years. Therefore, King and Ose likely owed more to Guin. It's the same thing as Cloud and his Buster sword, Guts happened to be one of the oldest huge sword wielders in the book.

125 volumes JUST for the main story (and still ongoing)... that's not counting the gaiden (side stories) volumes.
There are 21 volumes of gaiden also, totalling 146 volumes of Guin Saga. From a single novel author, I believe this is the longest largest novel series in existence... ever.

I've only read up to the first 5 volumes but shit am I pumped about this. This is going to be a really good anime, but is it true that it's only planned for 25/26 episodes?
That would be really dumb. I mean it would be fine if they were just doing 25/26 at first just to test the waters on the popularity of the show but, I really hope they don't try and change the story so it fits into 26 episodes. Just make your 20 something episodes and if it's not popular enough drop it, but don't kill the chance of a long running series by going the claymore route and making a cheesy anime only ending. This show could be as long as Detective Conan if they wanted to make it so, that's how much material there is.

Someone had mentioned that it was scheduled as a 26 anime show, so I was just hoping that if that is true that it just means they only have 26 slotted for now and if the show is popular enough they can just keep on going.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ose_(demon) Perhaps, I may be wrong but isn't Ose one of the 72 Goetia summons? Edit: My bad.. I didn't even realized that AHH had corrected you before. This also means that I was right about Ose's origin. Thanks AHH! Last edited by Shadow Kira01; 2009-03-06 at 16:22. Reason: updated |

As for Guin saga who knows, I would like to think there is parts that end a given storyline that would be fitting for a finale. And at the same time clearly, clearly leave it open for a continuation.. maybe something like Seirei no Moribito.. but without having read the source material I really can't say. |

They released the trailer for this in English so a license must be around the corner.
