Karas .. looks to me like a hightech futuristic ninja OAV

the official website is www.thekaras.net but it wasn't very helpful in giving more information .. and all google did was point to porn links

If you have more info .. please post it here, the animation in the trailer looked interesting..

Will have to wait until the weekend to see the trailer. But, "hightech futuristic ninja OAV?" That sounds pretty cool.

Looks nice, I watched ep1. The CG is awesome (too bad though the fansub is rather low video quality). The animation's like GitS2 movie style. There's another torrent out yesterday, dunno if it's English sub, but it's a large file (higher vid quality?) and I'm getting it now.

Storywise, it's a bit confusing since it's doing the "jump into the middle of things with little explaination to audience." I'm sure things will become clear after a few more episodes. This is a 6 ep OAV right? But I found a (spoiler if you don't wanna know what's going on already) synopsis for the series:

Onizuka-GTO wrote:The story so far, is that in the realm of demons or Youkai, there is a local Goddess, or Priestess who has to regulated the interaction of the human realm and the Demon world. Karas are their champions that are sent out to restore the balance between the two realms. Unfortunately, for the Tokyo regional Goddess her Karas has defected, ands after centuries of service has decided that he wasn't satisfied with the current order, and began recruiting Youkai's and enchancing them with Techno-sorcery to create his perfect army to take over both realms. In the mean time, the Tokyo Goddess been sending new Karas to stop him, each one keeps failing. Eventually a neighbouring Goddess decided to see "WTF" is going on, and sends her own Karas to sort it out. We then get to the firstr episode where we see the Tokyo Goddess next Karas drawn from a dying man.

The lighting for ep2 is so dark that I have to wait until night time and turn off the lights to watch it. :p

In Ep2, the CG action scenes are still awesome, lots of guns, throwing weapons, swords.

The story is a little easier to follow but still very clueless to the background unless you already know it (by reading the synopsis).

Ive seen episode one, the anime is sooo amazing!
The character design is pretty nice, too
except the lips.
The ending of ep 1 was also very nice... Maya Sakamoto?
