Anime Tenchou x Touhou Project

Synopsis ufotable announced a collaboration anime project of Anime Tenchou and Touhou. The anime will be shown at Animate Ichioshi Bishojo Anime Matsuri to be held on November 20th. MAIN CHARACTER

Meito Anisawa (兄沢命斗)

Meito Anisawa, also known as Anime Tenchou, is the manager of the Animate shop that Konata regularly visits; he was originally the mascot of Animate. He and his staff consider Konata their most valued customer known as "Legendary Girl A" and go to great lengths to sell to her. Their attempts usually fail miserably. His appearance is heavily stylized compared to the other characters, and he is known for his hot-blooded yelling and highly energetic movements and poses.

He bears a very similar resemblance to Jouji Gouda in Akane Maniax.

Reimu Hakurei (博麗　霊夢)

She is the miko of the Hakurei Shrine, a remote building far in the east where the boundaries of Gensōkyō and the human world overlap. It is believed that she is the 13th of her line.

Reimu is very easygoing — some would say lazy — and hates to train. As such, even though she's naturally talented, her offensive and magical abilities are only average. However, she has a strong sense of duty, and if it's for the sake of Gensokyo she can overcome almost any obstacle through sheer perseverance.

Her main abilities are flying in the sky, good intuition, and getting along with everyone; even those who were once her enemies. In the games, she is characterized by her homing amulets and yin-yang orbs.

Marisa Kirisame (霧雨 魔理沙)

Marisa is a human witch who lives in a cluttered house in the Forest of Magic. She is friends with Reimu and visits her often, but otherwise is


solitary and spends most of her time researching magic. She is also an avid collector stuffing her house with various items, and would go "borrowing" things from others without returning them.

She is selfish, sometimes violent, and has a disagreeable manner. Underneath, though, she is honest and a hard worker. This makes it strange that she is friends with Reimu, whose powers are purely from talent while she had to work very hard to get her own to the same level.

Her ability is high-level destructive magic.

Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット)

Flandre is the younger sister of Remilia and the "dirty little secret" of Scarlet Devil Mansion. Because of her unstable personality and incredible destructive power, her sister has had her ordered not to get out of the mansion for nearly 500 years. She really respects her older sister Remilia, but her raw destructive power far exceeds that of her sister's. Although she is usually docile, her insanity makes it difficult for others to understand her.When vampires attack humans, they generally try to take their prey alive so that they can suck its blood afterward, but Flandre has always been fed with cooked dishes, so she doesn't know how to properly attack a human. Whenever she tries to attack a human, she can't control herself and blows them away without leaving a spot of blood. Her apparent age is about the same as Remilia Scarlet (who looks to be around 10, even though Remilia is 5 years older and they're both about 500 years old). Flandre can destroy anything she wants by moving the "eye" of the object, where the tension is highest, into her hand and pouring her power into it. When she clenches her fist whatever she has moved the "eye" of into her hand will be destroyed. Other than her ability itself, no simple information about it is known.
She also has extreme physical strength. Unsurprisingly, all the toys she plays with get broken. Flandre's wings have an unusual appearance which bear almost no resemblance to a vampire's typical bat-like wings (or even organic matter). It has been speculated that her wings are artificial and that she fashioned them herself and then attached them to her body. She may have lost her original wings or been born without them.

Koishi Komeiji (古明地こいし)

She is Satori Komeiji's younger sister. She wanted to avoid the hate and dislike which Satori experienced due to her mindreading abilities, so she sealed away her own Third Eye. As a result, she lost her ability to read others' hearts, but in return she gained the ability to take action unconsciously. The denizens of the underground no longer hated her, but at the same time, they never feared her and animals no longer loved her.

The ability to read people's hearts also makes one's own heart stronger.

Closing off that ability because it's hated is just running away, and is no different from closing off one's own heart. It's effectively pushing away others' feelings and shutting down. She became a youkai who wandered to and from aimlessly. Personally, she thought it was fun, so it wasn't really a problem. People around her felt a little sorry for her. Even her older sister, Satori, is unable to read Koishi's sealed-away heart, and doesn't really know where she goes or what she does there.Just like a pet cat, she leaves and returns and leaves again according to her own whims. Satori took pity on Koishi, ordering her pets to play with her and giving her some pets to keep as her own. She thought that taking care of the pets might give her a purpose, and it might enable her to begin opening her heart to others again. Indeed, it seemed that Koishi began to change, ever so slightly, after she began to raise her pets. She heard that a human had come from above ground and had fought with her sister, Okuu, and the other pets, and was amazed at the incredible power-up Okuu had gotten, so she decided to go see the above ground world herself. Because she could act unconsciously, she remained unnoticed. She could go above ground, sneak past sleeping shrine maidens, or go into the mountain the tengu guarded, and nobody would take notice of her. In a way, it was convenient, but she was also lonely. However, she had no heart capable of feeling this loneliness. At her destination, the shrine atop the mountain, she happened to meet a human. Her meeting with this stranger changed her mental state ever so slightly.

She thought, how amazing it is to meet such an interesting person, and wanted to know more about her. For the first time, she regretted having closed her third eye.

Satori Komeiji (古明地さとり)

I've tried submitting Satori before, but she wasn't accepted.Here's proof that she DOES appear in the animehttp://www.animate.co.jp/aniten/10th_project03.html

Satori is the Mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits after the underground city was separated from Hell. Her ability to read "minds" makes various youkai and spirits fearful of her, while leaving her well-loved by the animals that normally can't be understood. With these animals as pets, she manages the ruins of inferno where her home stands.Her great number of pets made it difficult to manage the Hell of Blazing Fires, so she entrusted parts of its management to some of her pets.
Her pets would oversee other pets.
Her pets would tend the gardens.
Her pets would play with her younger sister.
However, what shouldn't have happened did: a human came from above ground, and she was surprised when they started asking about evil spirits and a geyser.
Satori left Orin in charge of the evil spirits and Utsuho in charge of the Hell of Blazing Fires. They were both loyal to Satori, so they shouldn't have done any harm. She believed there was no way they'd start some sort of incident.
She thought that perhaps the human before her was spouting off lies and trying to trick her, so she read her heart and was surprised again by what she saw.
There was almost nothing to be seen inside the humans' hearts about the evil spirits or the geysers. Suspicious, Satori decided to test them.After an encounter, she permitted the Heroine passage towards the Hell of Blazing Fires to ask her pets about their supposed problem.The characters for Komeiji literally mean "ancient and pure/bright earth". Satori isn't written in kanji, but it's pronounced the same as "satori" (悟), which means "enlightenment, profound understanding", as well as the name of her youkai species.

Utsuho Reiuji (霊烏路 空)

Utsuho Reiuji is one of Satori's pets. A Hell raven who has lived in the underground world since before it was separated from Hell. Her job is to regulate the flames of the Hell of Blazing Fires.

Yukari Yakumo (八雲 紫)

The characters for Yakumo literally mean "eight clouds" (but can also mean "countless clouds"), and Yukari "violet".

Yukari is an elder yōkai who dwells on the border of Gensokyo, and may predate the existence of the realm itself. A good friend of Yuyuko's and an acquaintance of Reimu's. She is the self-appointed stewardess of the seal between Gensokyo and the outside world, but doesn't do a particularly good job of it...

Most of the time, she is asleep, leaving all the work to her shikigami Ran and Ran's shikigami Chen. When she isn't, she tends to amuse herself by pulling in unprepared humans from the outside world and stranding them in Gensokyo. A very irresponsible yōkai.

Her ability is the manipulation of boundaries, and such boundaries distinguish her spellcards. Often, though, she just summons her shikigami and various others to create her danmaku for her.

Ran Yakumo (八雲 藍)

The characters for Yakumo literally mean "eight clouds", and Ran "indigo". All of the Yakumo family are named after colors.

A nine-tailed fox yōkai whom Yukari Yakumo made her shikigami. She is considerably powerful even without her master's support; among other things, she uses this power to maintain her own shikigami, Chen. Since Yukari sleeps twelve hours a day, she handles the work during these times.

Blassreiter

Synopsis

The story is set in a fictional Germany and centers around the outbreak of biomechanical creatures named "Demoniacs", who rise from corpses and attack people mindlessly. The Demoniacs have the ability to merge with most technology including cars and motorcycles, not only gaining control of them but also enhancing their performance greatly. Against them is a group of people known as XAT, Xenogenesis Assault Team, who police these Demoniacs in an attempt to keep the peace and discover the reasons for the "Demoniac" change. All the while, a number of human-turned-Demoniacs appear. Some use their powers for good whilst others for evil. One will rise above all other Demoniacs to become the "Blassreiter".


MAIN CHARACTER

Joseph Jobson (ジョセフ)

A demoniac hunter that appeared at the race circuit; although he does not attack human beings, he still became one of XAT's prioritized targets and spends the first half of the series as a lone, mysterious figure being hunted by both Amalgams and the police force. He is often seen either talking to Elea or whittling a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Joseph Jobson was an Outsider that had been adopted by a church after his mother died frozen to death in the countryside. He spent his childhood in a tightly-knit community, helping the priest look after the other orphans' needs, tend to their home and helping people in need. After the nearby Jever river overflowed, the church became crowded with homeless citizens and wounded seeking refuge - the agitation eventually driving the old priest (who also was Joseph's paternal figure) to death by exhaustion. It was shortly thereafter that he met Magwald Xargin - then an enthusiastic researcher hoping to distribute medication to the impoverished population. It was through Xargin (and his hospitalization after the church was burned by xenophobic citizens) that Joseph met his elder sister, Alexandra 'Sasha' Jobson. For the next few weeks, Joseph developed a close friendship with Xargin, with whom he shared a deep desire to help those in need. However, the medication they provided to the bereaved population and Outsiders (even going as far as trying to smuggle them out of Xargin and Sasha's university - then led by Victor Statchus) proved ineffective and one night, Sasha was beaten to death by Outsider-hating citizens. It was then, through the letter that she had left behind, that Joseph learned that Sasha's research was primarily focusing on military-oriented cybernetics.

After Xargin rebelled against Victor, Joseph tried to stop his erstwhile friend and was mortally wounded - however, in a last plea, Joseph tried to convince Xargin that life was still worth living. In response, the former scientist infected the teen with nanomachine-infested blood, turning him into an amalgam. The next day, Victor Statchus gave him the GARM motorcycle and entrusted him with tracking down the now renegade Magwald Xargin.

Because he had been given Xargin's blood, Joseph is considered as a good candidate for the role of Blassreiter (the strongest Amalgam ever in existence); however, his extraordinary sense of self-control allows him to retain his sanity, at the cost of remaining weaker than other, more 'open-minded' opponents like Xargin or Beatrice.

Years later, Joseph, now with a trademark scar running across his right eye, appeared at the circuit where Gerd Frentzen was competing in order to intercept a runaway Amalgam. The pursuit ends almost in tragedy and turns Gerd into an Amalgam. The change earns him both Gerd and Hermann's anger and although he only attacks Amalgams, he becomes one of XAT's primary targets (he then becomes known as 'Blue' due to his body color). It was after one of his run-ins with the police forces that he befriends Malek, Amanda's adopted brother, with whom he shares similar experiences of bullying and social isolation. Although Malek eventually becomes an Amalgam to sate his desire for justice, he nevertheless tries to bring the young boy back to his senses, even going as far as taking a bullet intended for him. Both were later captured by XAT and brought in for examination.

Joseph's arrest was short-lived, though, as Elea freed him from the laboratory and allowed him to leave the compound in the middle of an Amalgam breakout. He later meets with Amanda, then (apparently) the only XAT survivor, before the two are taken in by the highly secretive Zwölf organization. He is then reunited with the revived Sasha (who now bore white hair and a cybernetic implant in her left eye) and agrees to receiving the Pale Horse physical enhancement program, which will theoretically allow him to develop greater strength at the cost of his own self-control. The experiment later proves successful, turning himself into a berserker-like Blassreiter, with red outlines instead of blue ones.

In his Amalgam form, Joseph can make use of an energy whip, which he can also turn into a narrow-bladed sword. He also uses the GARM motorcycle (masquerading as a Yotsubishi custom model), which he can fuse with once in his Amalgam form.

Hermann Saltza (ヘルマン)

Gerd's friend and a officer of XAT. He often defends Gerd and is angered by those who distrust him. 

Because he saw Blue/Joseph kill Gerd, he has a deep grudge against him. He often defies orders to do what he thinks is right. He dies in a helicopter crash after telling Amanda to eject on a Paladin. He is brought back later as an Demoniac searching for Amanda. He eventually steals the prototype "666" bike and flees from Zwölf HQ. He undergoes a lone search for Wolf just to end his twisted ways. In episode 19, he kills Wolf with the help of revived Alvin. After helping Amanda rescue Malek from Zwölf, he and Amanda take refuge in an orphanage owned by Amanda's aunt, taking an injured Joseph and a comatose Malek with them. In episode 22, he senses Beatrice approaching the orphanage, intent on getting the data for Isis. He leaves alone to deal with her. Upon meeting Beatrice, he learns that she was the one responsible for Gerd and Malek's fate. After engaging in a fierce battle, he was able to win with the help of the awakened Malek. At the last moment, Beatrice made her last attack on Malek, before succumbing to her wounds. Hermann takes the hit for Malek, and dies in Amanda's arms after he asked Malek if he could have been a good brother to him. 

Amanda Werner (アマンダ)

A young woman who is working with XAT. She is Hermann's partner as they both are officers working for XAT.

Amanda is the adoptive sister of Malek and greatly cares for him as a sister should for a little brother. She does her best to protect Malek, however he is still bullied by students from his school.
She begins to have doubts about killing Blue, when she sees that he has done unusual things, such as protecting an innocent from a gun shot from another XAT member. Also, because Malek protected him from XAT.

When almost all XAT officers and civilian personnel were killed/turned to Amalgams, Amanda is forced to abandon her headquarters in order to seek refuge.

Elea

An A.I. who informs Joseph of possible Demoniac outbreaks. She is capable of controlling Joseph's bike (the Garm), and often calls Demoniac forms "beautiful".

Gerd Frentzen (ゲルト)

Gerd Frentzen began the series as the undefeated racing champion. However, as a result of an attack by an Amalgram, Gerd is paralysed and confined to a wheelchair. After being given drugs by a mysterious doctor, Gerd regains the ability to walk. He also gains the ability to transform into a Amalgram himself.

He is viewed as a hero, after helping XAT in a fight against an Amalgram. However, this all changes when he attacks his ex-girlfriend, Jill Hoffman. Jill claims that Gerd had no reason to attack her, and that he had merely lost control of himself. In truth, she had been having an affair with his boss, and was using Gerd.

Only two people did not believe Jill's claims, and continued to support Gerd after this event - Hermann and Malek. Unfortunately, continually being pursued by XAT caused Gerd to lose his sanity. He is killed by Joseph, in front of Hermann and Malek.

Gerd was the first major character to be introduced in BLASSREITER. Whilst he does die eventually, he was the primary character for the first part of the series. It should also be noted that Gerd's story has not yet been resolved (his innocence has not been proved, with the public still believing that all Amalgram are evil).

Something else to note is that a newly introduced character bears a strong resemblance to Gerd.

Beatrice Grese

A mysterious doctor that works at Clermont Medical Hospital who gave Gerd Frentzen a pill that would cure his paralaysis under the condition that he would keep it confidential. Beatrice gives Malek a pill as well. Her intentions seem to revolve around the Amalgams which she claims are "evolved" humans.

Alvin Lutz

A XAT member. Dedicated to the cause of the organization and loyal to his comrades. He was profound of staying true to who he was until the very end even when he realized he was infected. Considered dead, he was reborn as an amalgam without remembering what has happened at the base and the fact their commander had betrayed everyone at XAT. He served under him, as a sniper (he was the best 1). His skill helped to minimize the damages to the amalgam in the air base from the air attack to demolish them all. But even being a demoniac he remembered his true self in an important battle between Wolf and Amanda & Hermann, saving their lives and helping them win over the evil and corrupted former commander of XAT. "I will not forgive you even in death" - he said for the 2nd time while blowing the amalgam Wolf's head off.(he said it for the 1st time when the same commander killed him and his partner at the XAT's base final battle. Afterward he stood for his principles and put and end to his life, leaving only his sniper rifle for his friends to find when arriving at the scene. 

Malek Werner

Amanda Werner's little brother. A fan of Gerd Frentzen. He is constantly bullied and skips school because of it, but doesn't tell his sister. He meets Joeseph, who saves him from bullies. He later takes care of him after he's wounded during a fight with XAT. He receives a pill from Beatrice and becomes a Blassreiter bent on revenge against those who prey on the innocent.

Magwald Xargin

A mysterious person who has a Blassreiter symbol on his hand, though it seems he can access his powers without reverting to Demoniac form. He shares a past with Joseph, and it is implied that he was the one who turned Joseph into a Blassreiter. His goal is to reform the world.
