Ooo... I was a bit intrigued by this when the anime was first announced (hadn't read the manga yet), but now seeing the PV, I'm definitely excited! I look forward to trying to watch this next year.

Ouch, that engrish... xD

So... Beauty and the Beast comes to anime? Will be interesting to see.

Huh, after I wrote my comment it just dawned on me that Belle came out last year... xD I still didn't watch it though.

I keep mistaking this for the other anime that looks similar to this, Tale of the Outcasts. Probably because both anime involve white haired girls and giant beastly-looking men.

The trailer looks better than I expected, hopefully it'll be paced well and we can get a good anime

This looks pretty nice! I'm glad the female lead doesn't stay handcuffed and collared.

Also looks like the Beast here has a human form (the black-haired guy?).

The promo poster made me a little worried because of how static the artwork looked but the trailer looks a lot better! I hope everyone tries it out, it’s full of shoujo cliches but it does them well.

Read the manga and can't wait for this. Looks like it might try to do the whole story so I'm a little worried about the pacing.

As someone who didn't read the manga... why WAS she handcuffed and collared? I mean... what the hell could she have done without those? She couldn't fight anyway.

Well, the series title says it all; she's a human sacrifice, a regularly-chosen tribute given to the ruling class of beastkind, to be ritually murdered. You don't let your human sacrifices run around willy-nilly before you kill them; you keep them in a cell, and in chains, regardless of their fighting abilities, or lack thereof. Just the way things are done.
