Xian Yue Meng Ying, well known as the international name of Reflection of Crescent was a chinese animation proyect centered on a romantic homosexual story between three characters, who lived on a evolved society where demons coexists with humans. Planned to be launched in DVD format, the first official announcement of the OVAs was on august, 2010, planned to be released on 2011. However, was until 2015 when the full written script was announced. The proyect was cancelled or suspended after that, for unknown reasons. The producer studio, Great Demon Nation Production, did not make an official statement except that the proyect was moved to another studio, and then moved to obscurity again.

Without knowing the principal reasons of the change of studios (probably monetary problems), the new studio, Seven Stone Studio, did never made official statements apart the fact of have the script full written.

Plot

The story was planned as a fantasy/Sci-Fi, where the humans start to experiment with the genoma to become a superior race, while the Demons try to reach the same goal by taking a place on education and make their cult rise. After a war between both clans, they make a deal for reach peace, creating an institute where the youngest representants of both of the races can coexist.[1]

The three main characters are Kai YaLun, a representative of demons and the succesor of the Demon King; Sal WeaGal, a distinguished member of Elite; and WeiYi, a student who's half demon and half human.

Information available

There is a lack of information about the proyect, remaining only the sinopsis (found on latin/spanish forums at the date of its announcement), the name of the three main characters and a trailer, featuring the original studio (Great Demon Nation Production, intended to be this their first proyect). There is known to exist a website about the animation, but is currently down, with the domain name free and showing ads for lottery numbers. The website could be also considered lost, since Wayback Machine site can't find anything related to the dates of production and launching.[2]

All the information of its date was uploaded on chinese sites who seems to be deleted by now, remaining only a MyAnimeList page[3] and some Spanish forums.

On 2012, Vocaloid China Project Senden Animation released a short series of chapters about three minutes, where YaLun and WeaGal appear as short cameos. It is unknown the reason why they appear on the series, excepting that both proyects belong to Seven Stone Studio.
