Ro-kyu-bu is capitalizing on the seiyuus. It would be easily mistaken for a live-actiion drama seeing as there isn't even any animated footage shown. Doesn't bode well for the anime.

Okay, really surprised the direction the Blade anime is going with character designs. I mean, I'd have thought Deacon Frost would've been a no-brainer since, in the film, he's a fairly young-looking pretty boy - anime and manga's bread & butter, right? - but instead of recreating that character type they decide to turn him into a buff, older-looking Mr. Generic McForgettableFace? I just don't get it. Rolling Eyes

They're following the comics not the movies.
