However, behind the glamorous city, the dissident organization Kuchinawa strives to overthrow the administration, while the Nue of the Tokugawa regime, who was entrusted with its extermination, are in conflict. Sawa Yukimura, whose family was killed when she was young, continues to search for Janome, the executioner of the Nue.

| Looks like something right up my alley. Have been sceptic about the upcoming Spring anime season, but it starts to look more promising. |
| I first thouth it was a Lady Snowblood adaptation, still, this project looks interesting |
    |
| OP sounds like a banger |
 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| that time period caught my attention, hopefully this turns out good since you never really know with these original anime it’s either a hit or a miss |
 |
| Visually this looks quite impressive. Honestly some of it looks movie levels of quality. Great character designs and an interesting setting make this one of my more anticipated titles. |

| Looks like something else I'll end up watching |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Both OP and ED are by RAS, great news. |
 |
| so togo mimori finally became kokubou kamen, huh |
| No idea what to expect from this but it looks interesting. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Somehting from Bushiroad that's actually not idolly. |
 |
| Looks interesting, also that, I'm assuming, OP sounds great! |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| Looks this will be good, looking forward to it. |
 |
| Looking forward to this. |
  |
| The RAS listing was all I needed, but it does look pretty intriguing aside from that. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Don't have high hopes for this just yet but I'm definitely curious! |

| The setting seems interesting but I don't think that I can trust something that's coming from Bushiroad. All anime and manga coming from them have been terrible so far. |
