The November issue of Pash! magazine, which will be released on October 10, will announce that animation studio Trigger is producing an original TV anime titled Kiznaiver. The magazine's cover (pictured) features a key visual of the series. An official website has been registered by Aniplex but is not yet active.

Synopsis
The anime's setting is a fictional Japanese city named Sugomori City. One day, Noriko Sonosaki tells her classmate Katsuhira Agata, "You have been selected to be a Kiznaiver." The Kizuna System, which allows Katsuhira to share his wounds, connects him to the classmates whose lives and personalities completely differ from his. The Kizuna System is an incomplete system for the implementation of world peace that connects people through wounds. All those who are connected to this system are called Kiznaivers. When one Kiznaiver is wounded, the system divides and transmits the wound among the other Kiznaivers. Sugomori City is built on reclaimed land, but as the years go by, the city's population is decreasing. The story is set in this town where Katsuhira and the others live. (Source: ANN)

That synopsis sounds so edgy.

Script is written by Mari Ohkada? i bet the characters will act like Drama Queens.

The character designs look pretty nice, especially the one that looks like the MC. As for the staff, can't help but be cautious about Okada Mari when it's something other than slice of life (can't tell if this is one or not though). And hmm, Aniplex huh? The synopsis looks interesting though, connecting people through sharing wounds. Sounds like it might be a tear-jerker, actually.

"Connects people through wounds"?

Kizumonogatari will handle the concept much better.
Trigger better release this as early as Winter 2016. Any sooner and they'll be competing hard against Kizu.

Trigger + original anime = no need to say more, hype

And the character design in Hill Climb Girl was good, I like having this guy on board.

Sounds like this could be an interesting watch, so I'll definitely check this out when it airs.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Original anime by Trigger...and it's not the one (short series) they didn't reveal info for from Anime Expo Summer 2015. Well, I'm somewhat interested in it with the staff but going to keep expectations low for now.

I'm guessing this may be a 2 cour.

he is just an assistant director of that show if you look at his MAL profile page, i guess this is his first major directing debut, considering the other anime he directed was only 2 episode OVA

After Ninja Slayer, it's hard to get hyped before getting a PV.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Trigger + original anime = yet another atrocity in the making.

I've learn't my lesson watching Trigger shows so will avoid like the plague. I do like the character designs though so it is already an improvement over everything they've done so far (apart from that LN adaptation but source material saved them there).

That logic is stupid and extremely close minded.

Sounds boring as fuck to be honest but the staff names, as so often the case, are luring me in.
