Summary:


Kiznaiver takes place in the fictional Japanese city of Sugomori City. One day, Sonozaki Noriko (Yamamura Hibiku) approaches her classmate Agata Katsuhira (Kaji Yuki): "You have been selected to be a Kiznaiver." The Kizuna System is an incomplete system meant to foster world peace, which connects people through wounds. All who are connected to the system (called Kiznaivers) share their wounds with everyone else; when one Kiznaiver is wounded, the system divides and transmits the wound among all other Kiznaivers. Becoming a Kiznaiver connects Katsuhira to classmates whose lives and personalities completely differ from his own, including Sonozaki and at least six others.


Own opinion:


I'm interested, I'll admit—they've done what they needed to grab my attention. But temper thy excitement, friends, for this is an original series, which means it could be Madoka or it could be Glasslip, or any shade in between. One final tidbit to chew on: Okada said in an interview that the keyword for the series is "kizuna" (connection), and that the title itself is a play on "kizuna" and "naive." Make of that what you will. So its definitely 50/50 for me.
