Ibira initially pictured Karas as a horror story with a vengeance theme. It had a simple plot similar to the manga, Dororo. The protagonist karas is on a quest, slaughtering mikuras to recover the body parts of his murdered lover. Until he recovers all the parts, he assembles them into a katana to kill the mikuras.[1] The final version of Karas was more of asuperhero action story,[2][3] and originally intended for three leading heroes in the same vein as the Japanese period drama, Sanbiki ga Kiru!. The characters Otoha, Nue, and the human detective Kure were the leads but the final version primarily focused on Otoha.[4] The presentation of Karas differs in several ways from typical anime. The show maintains a serious tone and never indulges in slapstick, exaggerated facial expressions, or super deformed characters.[5] It avoids heavyexpositions. Dialogue tends to be short and viewers have to infer what is going on based on very little presented information.[6] The team had left out substantial amounts of information from the show, printing them in a booklet of the final DVD package.[7]
