Well, I can't say I'm in love with the Saya design. It's a pretty generic CLAMP design, similar to Nina in Code Geass. What I'm more interested in is how they handle the overall cast of characters, and their take on a vampire hunter story. Considering how Blood in general is usually grounded in scifi and more realistic historical settings, I hope this one is a little bit more on the fantasy and supernatural side, because that's what CLAMP is better at writing imo.

Same . Wouldn't mind seeing a CLAMP version of Solomon and Haji.
I'm all for more fantasy in a Blood series. Plus if this does go down the Blood+ timeline, then i'd love to see more stories set during her past adventures. I don't know if you've read it, though the two volume Blood+ Adagio is seriously good.

I would have loved if Blood-C would have continued the story of Blood+ with saya's nieces.
Seeing them deal with their nature and their deadlines to each other. (Their blood could kill the other) And the eventual awakening/return of Saya and her reunion with Kai who would be around 50 years old then. |

Either way, this seems promising. I consider him to be a good director after the two seasons of Holic + his work on squid girl (especially the third part of episode 5) makes me confident in his work. And since he's familiar with CLAMP that will also be a good sign that there will be good communication between them. Any word if the movie is a continuation of the series, or is it a ''recap'' movie?

Just this second read about Naoki Sato doing the score for this series. Oh my god. That is the greatest news ever. Naoki is without a doubt one of my all time favourite composers, and it's about damn time he worked on a new score.
So happy!

The staff in general seems much more competent than Blood+'s staff. On the animation production end there are quite a few GitS:SAC guys, and it's impressive that CLAMP is really writing this, and not just scribbling some notes down for other writers to adapt. Getting hyped!
Here's the Japanese press release: http://journal.mycom.co.jp/news/2011/04/09/002/ And here's the key visual by CLAMP: Spoiler:

I think we can all assume that Mizushima has a CLAMP seal of approval tattooed on his body lol?

The staff here is leagues ahead from Blood+ lol Seriously, I.G. looks like it's giving this the full treatment. Ghost in the Shell regulars, CLAMP being actually involved. 2011 is seriously shaping up to be a great year. Wonderful. Quote:
And it going to be AWESOME!

Now the only thing that remains is the time slot. I'm really hoping it's NOT going to be on the Sunday afternoon slot, because there's a much better chance for creative freedom and glorious CLAMP violence on the Thursday slot. Hopefully we get a confirmation soon about how long Ao no Exorcist is... |
