Kyōkai no Kanata Anime Is in the Works Kyoukai

Nagomu Torii's dark fantasy light novel earned honorable mention in studio's 2011 awards

Kyoto Animation updated its website for Nagomu Torii's Kyōkai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) light novel series on Wednesday to reveal that an anime adaptation is in the works.

The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears human, he is half yōmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world. Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai.

Kyōkai no Kanata received an honorable mention in the novel category of the Kyoto Animation Award program in 2011. The studio released the first volume last year, and the second volume will ship on Monday. To promote the first volume, the studio already released an animated television commercial:

This is very good news, I of course haven't read the light novels but I watched all nine of these Kyoto animations a few weeks back and by far this advertisement was the best. I had no idea what it was even advertising, I just knew that it had to be good.

So hearing that this well animated and supernaturally intriguing light novel/advertisement is going to get an anime dedicated to it is pretty awesome.

Hmm, if it is only up to the 2nd light novel, I'm curious as to what this will be, but I'm hoping for at least 12 eps.

Nah man, this one is obviously the best:

You know you want it.

Well, back on topic. KyoAni doing an actual true action anime will be interesting because of their high budgets and nice animation. It's great that the anime seems to have cool effects too. Which is coming first though, Chuunibyou S2 or this?

True action, they animated Full Metal Panic Fumoffu and The Second Raid, but this one should be fun, never seen them animate a dark fantasy genre
