Wow that was awesome. I've never seen any of the other versions of this show before and I was really impressed. A lot of good stuff this season but this one could easily be my favorite if it maintains this level of quality for the entire run. Does anyone know how many episodes this is supposed to run?

Thanks for the info. I couldn't help myself and read like 12 chapters of the manga today and, while I don't think the source material is terrible by any means, I'm glad that this adaptation seems to be making a fairly loose interpretation of it. The premise is cool but I'm just not sure if I like where the mangaka takes it.

Great animation, pacing, and it looks like this time they will stick closer to the manga story, characterization and atmosphere...

Beasts was indeed a strange choice for english subs, but I guess it depends on the culture (and its mythology) the translator is familiar with. |

It’s Ryo-timos style. Birdy also has this more rounded look. And I doubt that it has something to do with the budget and in case that they really redesigned it for easier drawings so they could animate more, then good choice.
I like the designs, apart from Hime. Doesn’t suit her and it’s like a complete different character now. She isn’t supposed to be cute. |

Yes, there was one thing wrong with the OVA, like this TV adaption, they look awful. On the other hand, as I originally wrote, as long as the staff's artistic aspirations are affecting only the character designs, it should be OK (ugly but bearable)... should they start messing with the story, character development, atmosphere, not even their innovative high frame-rate animation can save them.

[Repeats like a robot] "The first few episodes (or rather first 2 it seems) are anime original to avoid retreading the same material the first series loosely covered and are done by Yasuda cooperating with the staff. It should be back to following the manga by episode 3."

There're already some preview pictures : Episode 5 could be interesting too. I don't know much Yoshiko Mikami but his Sengoku Collection (#18) episode was neat. Hiroshi Kobayashi only comes back as storyboarder and I hope it's for good action scenes.

I'll never get why people worship Yasuda. His work as a character designer is nothing special (so many clones!), and he's a pretty mediocre artist (I checked a few chapters of the manga). I'm happier with what we got in the anime. To each their own I guess.
