Haven't heard of this series before until now. The premise sounds somewhat interesting I guess and I wouldn't be too surprised if studio A-1 Pictures of Madhouse takes this project.

"The story revolves around "jushiki" (lit. spell equations), the equations that govern the quantum constant "h" of action, change the laws of physics at the local scale, give birth to TNT explosives and poison gas, and cause incredible physical phenomena such as plasma and nuclear fusion. Two "jushikishi" (spell equationists) who use jushiki in battle are Gayus (who deals with bad luck with tact) and the beautiful but cruel sword-wielder Gigina. These two bounty hunters are caught up in a battle with dragons in the city of Eridana and in the intrigue of great nations"
The first couple of episodes are going to be one hell of an infodump to explain all that, seems interesting anyways |

Love the artwork on that cover, hopefully the anime is able to capture that style well.

This is kind've my feeling. Shows that make alterations to scientific law their basis most often - ironically, I think - just seem contrived to me. Hand-waving the details away comes across as lazy nonsense misusing scientific jargon in a failed play to seem interesting; focus on the details turns into a lecture. |

Why do all of these always have some bullshit blurb about it being an "ultimate genre work" about how they've redefined or surpassed some sort of perceived genre limitation or completely turned something on it's head when it's almost always very far from the case. I mean if that's the actually case for a light novel work what does that then put it on par with a B-Grade manga or something considering how derivative and frankly reliant on character designs these things usually are? Boy does this format, it's authors and editors sure think excessively highly of itself though, probably explains a lot of the reason why it is like it is and kind of up it's own ass with the premises and writing more often than not. IMO the smug self-righteousness and meta-level cynicism has bled back into the anime industry too in ways that are making too many shows entirely intolerable to watch. It's like every character from a light novel or light novel inspired thing has to be completely insufferable too, protagonist or antagonist, there's no real distinction often times it feels and not in a way that makes things nuanced nowadays, usually just both are annoying jerks that aren't even all that interesting as characters making it not so fun anymore. |

The thing is that this work considered as the godfather of the grimdark LN. Yes, for real. |

What is the "dark light novel genre"? First I'm hearing of that...

Light novel that contain (and pretty much revolved on this) many obscene violent scenes, brutal gore, disturbing sexual scenes and rape - so practically most of what cannot be passed on the teen light novels. Also it can have the depressive plot, or contain a strong shade of black humor. Denpa Teki na Kanojo, Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan, or Fate/Zero can be considered as examples of genre. |

An upcoming fantasy anime that places emphasis on physics. This is wonderful because now the NEET/hikkimori can get some more education.
