Anime-Source's Synopsis and Review of this Series

Has anyone heard of this series? I think there's only one episode out at the moment and it's licensed by ADV. I saw some screenshots on a blog and it looks dark and violent.

Saw this two days ago when the raws first came out... Let's just say that this is Konomini done right. Razz

Is Konomini the mangaka? What other mangas he came up with? Hmmm.... that official homepage makes the show look like an ecchi series. But after seeing pics like this, I thought it'll be dark and violent.

I checked out the manga...
I've yet to see the anime (but I'll have to).

It looks pretty good to me,
even tho they must've cut out a lot of stuff from the manga.
The manga is bloodier I believe

are there any subs or only raws?

Probably not because its been licensed by ADV already.

I saw the RAW and it looks like she's some kind of demon being kept under guard and somehow escapes the facility she's at. She turns up naked at a family's house and they take her in (she's lost her memory but she has horns on her head, that make her look like a persocon from Chobits).

The military, government or whoever is running that facility sends troops after her and end 1st episode.

2nd episode looks like her demon side wakes up and she goes on another killing rampage? Imagine Chii having an totally evil killing side =)

Does anyone else sort of suspect that
Nyuu the 'cat girl' will turn out to be Kouta's missing younger sister or someone who knows her?

Interesting series so far, sort of a cutey "Hey, how are you doing" situations interspersed among heavy gorey scenes.

Nyuu's powers
It seems her telekinetic powers are manifested in the form of two pairs of extra invisible arms from her back, which explains the bloody palmprints.

Her innocent state seems to be a psychological regression from the trauma she must have suffered. Her aggressive state

Although curious that it seems not many fansubbers are picking this up on both sides of the Pacific with two episodes so far. (only one Chinese fansubber has picked it up at this time)
Edit: Ahh... so it was licensed by ADV Films for R1. Understandable then...

Funniest part of Episode 2
A girl with an adorable puppy actually walked up to the savaged sadistic soldier who's screaming in anger and pain, and asked "Umm, how are you?" "Can't you be quiet!"

Such a cute girl (with pup!) and yet she displays no terror at such a bloody sight, and to display that reaction Laughing

(which also could mean she must have some dark background as well)

Of course there is also that ecchi scene of changing clothes

Added a synopsis to our database for it. There's a direct link in the top post.

Btw "Diclonius" means "double sprout". The more heard usage of this name is for dinosaurs - "monoclonius", "diclonius".

Reminds me of a book a read a while back. It was called The Door to December. Had a little girl with telekinetic powers going on a killing spree, but she did not have the cute Chii innocent side.
