I'm looking forward to watching Shiki and Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei. *_*

Random: I wonder if it's true that Ono will be continuing her Ghost Hunt series. Hmm~

Yojō-Han Shinwa Taikei looks terrific from a visual perspective. Here's hoping it doesn't disappoint like Kaiba did.

Shiki looks pretty neat too. Considering that fact that I love the Ghost Hunt anime, I'll definitely be giving Shiki a look.

Well, I loved Kaiba with a passion, so I sort of hope that it turns on the same... Of course the premise is completely different, but even if he keeps the same general style as Kaiba (as the preview seems to) I will be very content. Laughing

Looks a lot closer to Kemonozume or Mind Game's art styles than Kaiba's.

I finished the Yojouhan novel last night, and I can confirm that it will almost certainly make for a pretty good Yuasa show, if perhaps not super awesome.

I'll definitely check out Yojou-Han, but I don't think I can take Shiki; the trailer was pretty creepy. I loved 12 Kingdoms and enjoyed Ghost Hunt, but even Ghost Hunt scared the hell out of me at times. Shiki looks like it is moving it up a couple of notches. The soundtrack was intense.

So you love a show with a plot that almost completely fell apart in the second half? I find that odd. That said, if Yojō-Han Shinwa Taikei does turn out to be the same as Kaiba from a narrative perspective, then my faith in Yuasa will plummet even more. His only truly great work has been Mind Game. Everything else since has been nowhere near as good, considering the fact that Yuasa shown that he has difficulties handling the more complex of plots (see Kemonozume & Kaiba). If anything, the visuals should make Yojō-Han Shinwa Taikei worth seeing, which has always been the case with Yuasa.
