Yeah, here's the first key visual... uh, kinda off model but hey



edit: Holy poo poo I hope they get a new studio instead of whoever is doing the OVA right now- they hosed up the designs good.

I think it's the choice in coloring. It's much glossier than what I take away from the color pages.

It's the eyes. I could easily also mistaken Juno for being female if I look at his head only.

The general shape of his head and eyes are off.

Aster fared better but they kinda rounded his face off.

The main thing that looks different in Tataba's style are the eyes and they didn't really replicate that.

Because they're by different people and a lot of translation choices are subjective.

Man, a doctor telling the protagonist that they can never do X again is a really stale plotline. At least we're not seemingly going to be waiting long until it's fixed.

That is a very good point. Now I want to see a shounen series where the main injury is like, burn scars or something halfway through. Not that I'm wishing massive burns on anyone or anything.

They could have a Shishio phase wrapped in bandages, then come back stronger and with a different look.

arms were the standard shounen injury for ages because it is debilitating but allows a character to still move around. a crippled leg means hopping around on a crutch and no one thought that was cool until oda bucked the trend.

Aster's "never give up" schtik is normally annoying but him basically giving Cave Johnson's speech on lemons is good.

It absolutely isn't but I really wish it was.

Also, if it gets a proper anime, I want it to be a gag dub to the effect of Jaimini's Box's script. Charlie Murphy as Yami's dub voice.

I know we'll get some insanely dry, boring, and overly literal localization but I can dream.

Yeah, if it's something minor, then it would be okay, but this sorta come out of the blue.

I mean, I'm pretty sure some shounen incorporate anime / light novel / game characters but I don't recall one that just sorta came out like this.

I know Fairy Tail did something with the snake who turned into a girl in the anime and became a very minor character in the manga, but that's all.

I like that Venessa's string magic could apparently power up to the point she became a fate. That's sort of cool.

Also wow, pretty quick to throw another member of the third eye at us.

I imagine the witches have one of the stones too.

New chapter is out.

The third eye girl fires a blast at the forest, the witch queen realizes that fate is skewing and her predictions are starting to be wrong, and she instantly heals Aster's arms because the Bulls say they refuse to fight for her unless she does so (while ruminating in her head that she is going to take Venessa and Aster for herself afterwards). That's it really. This chapter got a cover?

I think the color pages for this chapter and the next are more about promoting the anime, and if you think about it his arms being healed is still a big deal. It's just downplayed because there's always something else going on.

Also, a link to the latest chapter. I didn't realize there was another chapter before this that I missed as well.
