 An anime adaptation of the seinen manga Sword Gai has been green-lit. The anime will be produced by DLE and Fields entertainment. The anime is expected to be released in Spring 2016. The manga by Toshiki Inoue (story) and Wosamu Kine (art) follows the eponymous protagonist of the manga (Gai), an orphan who gets adopted by a swordsmith. He loses his right arm while forging a sword and gets a demonic sword, forged into a new arm, as a replacement. Now, he must fight countless enemies and a cruel fate. The manga began serialization in late 2012 in Heroes. Staff Character Design: Amemiya Keita Original Work: Toshiki Inoue Illustration: Wosamu Kine Source: Animate.tv Sword Gai on MAL |

| We're getting announcements for 2016 now? Sounds interesting anyway. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I'm up for this. Hope it's gonna be a good one. |
kuuderes_shadow said: We're getting announcements for 2016 now? Sounds interesting anyway. I expect it's because the producers know it won't be ready in time for one of the 2015 seasons, but wish to announce the series' greenlight now. |
| For the first time, something sounds legitimatelly promising. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure the news source is legit even though it says Spring 2016. Seriously, that's over a year from now. I'm not sure how I feel about the animation studio either but the premise sounds nice. |
 |
| 2016 is still so far away and we already have an announcement. Okay then. Why do I have this weird feeling that it will be Kaji Yuki voicing the MC just because of the missing arm thing. |
 |
| Sounds interesting and I like the character design so far, I just hope it won't turn out to be a let down or "fanservice only" show but I have high hopes. But seriously, 2016? That's such a long wait... |
| Oh, the script writer of Death Note, Detective Conan, Dragon Ball Z and Fullmetal Alchemist, naisu. Hahah, 2016 is still very far to announced it today. |
| Sounds interesting. I am looking forward to it. |
  |
| umm the animation studio behind this has done basically nothing of value yet...synopsis doesn't sound too bad though |
 |

| inb4 3d cgi |
| Look intresting,but 2016,a lot of time to wait. |
| Look great judging from the cover and synopsis . THe main character look like badass, this how you make decent character http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/1/104077.jpg |
| Announcement for 2016? That's a bit early but Toshiki Inoue is involved and the story could turn out pretty badass. I'm looking forward to it. |
 |
| 2016... lol We havent even entered 2015 |
-Klad- said: 2016... lol We havent even entered 2015 Are you sure about that? |
 |
| Maybe they announced it early to raise awareness, too early though. The synopsis sounds interesting. |

| Sounds interesting :3 |
TiigerWierdness said: SolviteSekai said: inb4 3d cgi Quite ironic... Here's a 3DCGI promo for the manga released with the second volume. It might not turn out this way, but there is a possibility for it... Wow that indeed is ironic. It looked pretty nice though, though I still prefer 2D. The synopsis does sound very interesting, and I like the art style on the manga cover. Something to look forward to in 2016 :) |
| Japanese 3D is so bad. |
 |
| It looks nice, but then again, could be the typical fantasy-seinen... Oh well. I guess we have a while to find out more about it. |
| Seems cool! But wtf, 2016? Really? |
| I'm guessing Winter 2016? Really early announcement. |
| Seinen hm... Looks pretty interesting! |
| Seinen :D Sounds interesting.Will watch it when 2016 comes along... |

| Err... looking at that promo... he's a blacksmith right? Why's he in modern Tokyo... and the demons look wrong for the genre too. XD |
MirorinSep 30, 2014 3:48 PM
| Sounds very interesting. I'll most likely watch it. And I say "most likely", because I'm probably gonna forget about this until Spring 2016. :P |
| will be on the watch for this o.o |
 |
| Toshiki Inoue? LMAO. Do yourself a favor and don't get your hopes up. Expect lots of needless "misunderstandings" that lead to tragic fates, along with intolerable jerks and some really awkward romances. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| Sounds like Highschool DxD |
 |
| Sounds a bit like Evil Dead, anime-fantasy version. A guy who fights evil and has a weapon in place of an arm. |
 |
| Well the synopsis sound interesting, never heard the animation production. might watch |
| "This is boring...I'm bored..." |
| Inoue? No thanks. |
| this manga doesn't inspire me too much but what the hell might as well go with the flow |
| Plot sounds really interesting :) |
