Prepare yourself for one of the most beautiful PV's ever created.



Title: 放浪息子, Hourou Musuko, Transient Son
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Gender-Bender, Romance, Slice of Life
Animation Studio: AIC
Airs: 01/13 25:15 Fuji TV
Official Site: Hourou Musuko

Series Summary from ANN:
Shuicihi Nitori appears to be a shy and quiet preteen boy, when he transfers to a new school he quickly makes friends with the tomboyish Yoshino Takatsuki who sits next to him. It soon becomes apparent that both Shucihi and Yoshino are more than simply a sensitive boy and masculine girl, they both are transgendered. Together they decide to take the first steps toward becoming the people they want to be.
Kenn's Comment: ...That summary from ANN might scare a lot of people off. Like...shiiiiiiiiit.

Anywho, this one's airing in the NoitaminA (Sora no Woto, Trapeze, Senkou no Night Raid) time slot, so it'll get a fair bit of funding, which is good because if they want to animate at least 11 episodes in the way that the PV is, they're gonna need a whole lot of funding. It's spectacularly gorgeous, but I'll keep my fingers off the keys and just let you watch it. The piano piece is stunning in that one btw. Loving the water colour.

That being said, lead role of Nitori is played by a 13 year old boy (who to my knowledge makes his debut as a VA). OP is いつだって。by ダイスケ and ED is 'For You' by Rie Fu
