I'm going to assume this will be TV series adaptation likely with 1 cour by...hmm, maybe Madhouse, Bones, or less likely Production I.G. The manga is okay, not too special though imo but has a lot of action in it.

The only thing that's making me a bit wary of this is the fact that the kid is a middle schooler but people have told me that this manga is good so I'm going to keep my eyes open.

Action, ecchi and super power ?! These genre alone makes this anime worth watching.

The girl holding a knife in manga cover reminds of Akame in Akame ga kill. I have no choice but to watch it. I can't not resist something like that.

Hmm, lets put it this way: I'm usually incredibly tolerant with just about any manga I read. If I can get even the slightest menial enjoyment out of it, I'll keep reading it.

This manga however, was one of the very few that I just had to drop because there really wasn't anything good about it. I got maybe 10 chaps in, and there was so little excitement I couldn't handle it.

I don't have a problem with shit being generic, as long as it has potential to do something entertaining and interesting, but this was generic, on top of being boring as hell.

I might watch the anime just to see the story get farther than I read and for the hell of it, but I can definitely say I'm not expecting this to be even remotely good.

I wonder who is going to animate it, most of the big guys that could handle this well already have their hands pretty full.

My guesses are Madhouse, Bones, and Production I.G. for now. A-1 may also be a possibility despite the amount of shows they are working on right now.

I was thinking Bones too, I just didn't mention it because I thought they were doing Gangsta. too (and I'm hoping Kekkai Sensen is 2 cours) but that's Manglobe, I guess since it was announced now and it'll air this year it'll probably be around Fall so I could see Bones doing it, Production I.G. would be nice too.

No. I bet it will be Diomedia.

Bones doesn't do generic stuff like this unless it's original.

The girl is probably the one who pursues him.

They did say they are adapting 3 series and making one original this year though. Kekkai Sensen is one of them.

synopsis said:
Seigi, a martial arts trained middle-schooler, often feels driven to protect the weaker people around him.
Groan

One day, he defends a homeless man against some punks, and the man gives him a strange tattoo on his palm in return.
At least it's not a girl about to get raped.

The tattoo is a secret weapon produced in the arms race between America and the Serinistan Kingdom.

Seigi finds himself in over his head when a powerful girl, using the same secret weapon, violently pursues him in order to retrieve it. His skill at martial arts may not be enough to keep him alive, but will he be able to learn how to trigger the power of his tattoo in time?
Meh.

Not interested in another dumb harem.

One of the few manga I actually put off for a while, maybe i should continue? First few chaps were OK but it it fell off a cliff from there.

Willing to make some predictions about the anime though, will it be:
A) 12 episodes, rushed, cheap animation with boobs all over the place. A bit like Absolute Duo. (Thing is I quite like the manga of AD but they had to ruin the anime >.>)

OR

B) 24 episodes. Story drags on for oooon and oooon. *Fill in extra complaints here*

Tbh many people may just drop the series 1-4 episodes in as in my opinion (should it follow the manga) the first few chapters seem to lack that pull factor.
