Fuck yes today is just my day, isn't it. Ahhh I have been waiting so long for more horror and more horror has been announced! I can only hope that it does not fall into the same fate as Pupa.

Meanwhile Aphorism will probably never get an anime. ;__;

^ This. And I hope it doesn't let me down like Pupa does already.

Looking forward to it.

It's not like Pupa, it's kind if a battle horror manga at least in my opinion.
I read the translated chapters and looked at the raws, I'm pretty pumped for this adaption.
I really like how the protagonist changes, and the heroine is cool too.

Meh, can't say I'm overly excited. The series had a fairly slow start (and slow-paced overall) but introduced some decent mysteries late in the story.

Still not bad, much prefer Ajin tho.

PV is quite good. Anyone recognize the voice in the PV? Sounds like Mitsuki Saiga.

Hope this won't be like Pupa anime and is actually full length.

The manga is actually pretty damn good and its a shame that it got reduced down to 4 minutes. -__-

Decided to just read a couple of the beginning chapters just to sample it and I couldn't stop reading until I caught up with the translations. This the type of story really hooks you in.

I'm pretty sure that's her voice, yes definitely her.
Still that's the manga PV. Now I'm all curious about the anime cast!

It has gore but the setting is nothing like Pupa. It has a lot of conflict, a very deep social/racial standing and different perspectives from both the main guys and the opponents. You will find this a good series.

Well horror is always welcome, but I also hope it doesn't get censored to oblivion.

Damn, just sneaked a peek at the latest raws cause the scanlation team is about 70 chapters behind and I'm not regretting it a little bit. Just hope this will be another faithful adaptation cause I can see it being quite successful if it follows the manga completely.

Wow it's getting animated?

Why do people keep going Pupa this Pupa that? It's nothing like Pupa.
It's a battle horror much like Kiseijuu (Parasyte) manga.

I don't know much about the story, but Sawashiro Miyuki as the girl would seem to be mighty appealing if it does happen. Though I don't know what her personality is supposed to be like...but how could you go wrong with Sawashiro Miyuki voicing a zombie girl? Turn on the rasp!

Sadly, for a battle manga the action scenes leave much to be desired.

Basically the character was made with her in mind lol :P

Are you saying this based on the current translated chapters? Cause I believe there's a lot of battle past 60 chapters, maybe you should check out the raws which is over 100 chapters already. :)

I really can't be bothered to take the time to read 60+ chapters of raws, I can do a few, but 60+.. oh god no... So I can say up to chapter 39, the manga is honestly not too impressive.. HOWEVER, I am really excited to see this adapted into an anime because the manga does have a lot of potential, I just don't think its paced well, and they never show a character enough for you to actually get to like them. I really do think the anime could be one of my favorites of whatever season it airs. I just hope its not a letdown like most modern "horror" anime..

A scan of the wraparound jacket band to be included with the tenth volume of the Tokyo Ghoul manga reveals that the series will be receiving an anime adaptation. No cast, staff, or airing date has been given.

Synopsis:
"In Japan, strange creatures that eat humans are around and they're called "Ghoul." A university student, Kaneki Ken, is riding a normal life and has fallen in love with a girl. But, after their first date it turns out that she's a Ghoul. Being seriously traumatized, he got saved as the Ghoul accidentally died.

What happens when the doctors implant some of her organs to him, in order for him to survive?"
