Madhouse is one of the best studios when it comes adaptions and being faithful to the source material.

What titles did Madhouse destroy? Only one I can think of is Claymore, and even that turned out decent.

The original source material is a light novel, not a manga, but anyways, I believe it translates to something like "(The) Sunday without God."

Oda Nobuna, for one. Not just because it never got anywhere with the story, and probably won't get a continuation, but because they plain cut out all the risky loli scenes. And only those. They were even fine with the naked shota.

And Kaminai's main girl is a loli, none the less...I just rather it was adapted by another studio.

They ruined it because they took out the porny bits?

Do you realize how utterly ridiculous you sound? That was some /a/-level shit right there.

Yeah, sure, whatever.
You know that there are people that would complain if they removed the other girls' scenes instead too.

"The fantasy is set 15 years after humans stopped being born and the dead stopped dying, since the world was abandoned by God. That left "Gravekeepers" with the unique task of giving the would-be dead peace. A girl named Ai is the only Gravekeeper in her village; she was born from a Gravekeeper mother and a human father 12 years ago."

Is the age of Ai a mistake? According the article, it is set 15 years after humans stopped being born. How can Ai be 12?

...Because she was born 12 years before the story began. It states it right there in the synopsis.

Yeah, noticed that too, good question.

Looking forward to this. As others already commented, sweet visuals on the trailer.

Idea sounds interesting, but looks kind of weird (maybe just due to protagonist's character design?)

So because Ai is half "gravekeeper" she isn't human? That's the only way this wonky setup jibes with her age. If so, then does a "drop" of Gravekeeper blood in one's veins make him non-human? Since 50% gravekeeper makes one a "gravekeeper" I do not believe that this is outside the realm of possibility. I ask because if so the problems of both too few births and too few "deaths" is solves itself as the population goes from being human to "Gravekeeper".

How can the dead not have died? That makes no sense whatsoever. If they were supposed to have died, but did not, then they are not dead. Perhaps the show could argue it uses "dead" metaphorically, like the English expression "Dead man walking" but if so I'm afraid for the show as such would make the premise of the show mighty thin. They can't be "undead" either as they'd have to have been killed first, which means that they would have died first...but since they can't die we're back to the beginning again.

Is anyone else having flashbacks to that Children of Men movie? For some reason, I am. Repressed memories bubbling to the surface is my guess. Rolling Eyes
