"Five years ago, almost every villager of Ootsuka died due to a tragic plague. But mysteriously enough, three survivors: a girl and two boys, emerged. Now living in a church, the three live in isolation, hidden from those who may seek to find them. Shino, one of the survivors, has control over the power of Murasame, the blade of life. But when the imperial church seeks to take the Murasame for themselves, their peaceful life becomes a thing of the past... "

The story seems too mainstream.

Of course it couldn't be anyone else but DEEN. This is a Kadokawa / Ciel Très Très work we're talking about, their collaborations have always worked so far, no reason to stop.

But yeah, as usual, the studio isn't the only deal... and my fears are somewhat relieved now that I know a good director such as Yamasaki Osamu is working on it - they could've phoned it in and asked Kon Chiaki to handle it instead, but this is a bit more exciting.

I remember an anime which I've watched when I was a kid with a very similar plot. It's very old and it's titled "Shin Hakkenden". I think this is very similar, anyone from the community who's old enough to remember this anime. i posted a video of the opening song.

I remember this show quite well. Like I've seen it a hundred times!
The song is "memories" by angela of the 90's. My favorite.

I wouldn't dismiss this series just because it's DEEN behind it since they've shown that they are capable of producing some solid stuff like Sankarea if they have the right staff and with Yamazaki Mitsue who directed several episodes of Mawaru Penguindrum there definitely is potential.

ARGH
You people are so ANNOYING.

I love this manga and THIS IS NOT SHOUJO. More - this is SHOUNEN-AI. If you know Miyuki Abe-sensei, youalso know that she's famous with her yayois and shounen-ais (Super Lovers, Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike, Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni Naru). I've read raws of Hakkenden and i really CAN'T SEE any romance O_O
But I understand that in anime they can do something different from manga, but I hope they won't, 'couse this is too good :D

I always believe people don't read a lot into "fantasy" shoujo to understand the differences.

lol. You say there's no romance but try to say it's shounen ai. It's shoujo, get over it. It's originally from the shoujo magazine, Ichiraci, which has been distancing itself from the BL in its former incarnation for years. A bit slashy, but nothing like her actual BL titles. So unless she's going to go in a completely new direction in the new mag, nope. I've raad the raws too and you're fishing way too hard~

I was rejoicing, but then I was remembering it was DEEN.

How bishounen-reverse-harem-and-or-Shounen-Ai-ish is the source material? Can anyone tell me?
I do NOT want to start watching another Hakuouki or 7-Ghost by accident, but if I ignore my prejudices and previous experiences, this really sounds like I would love it (fantasy + shoujo <3). The director has commited Hakuoki, but he also did Terra e so I'll keep my hopes up and my expectations high.
I probably regret this post by now.

Shino's character design is adorable. Now I want to reread the manga thus far.

Next to zero. Pretty character designs, including men, but it's pretty art in general. A male side character likes Shino, but he could go either way and has zero chance with Shino. It's mainly a fantasy/mystery/adventure/action story.
