Anyone else disappointed with the new upcoming champ?

It can't just be me, right?

I'm not thrilled with his kit, to be sure... but mostly I'm super disappointed at yet ANOTHER Ionian edgelord to cater to the weeb crowd. The dude is a scythe-wielder that can end up possessed by what is essentially a demon. I was kinda hoping for something more gothic horror and less weeaboo trash from Bleach.

Not everyone is super mainstream like you and thrives off of making fun of other groups. It's only "Weeb" because you want it to be. Dark guy with a scythe dealing with inner demons is nothing new in terms of concepts, not even close. It's new for League, though, and that's why it's being introduced. I don't know why every champion needs to be some bubbly, macho, cool, etc. personality and kit.

We've got mega bubbles (Lulu, Lux), we've got calm and collected (Yasuo, Zilean), we've got dark and sinister (Zed, Vladimir), we've got hunter-like (Rengar, Kha'zix), and so many more. I'm not sure what's so bad about having a champion like this.

Try harder, kid.

I'm not a Weaboo, the only Anime I've ever watched as far as I can remember is Pokemon back when I was a little kid. I think his Darkin version is pretty bloody awesome, and the kit seems like a ton of fun.

That said, I'd also absolutely love some Gothic Horror themed champion.

Love him.

Always wanted a champion like this.

A SCYTHE champion where he actually can use it.

I'm okay with him but the blue streak in his hair seems a bit much.

Yes, I have an issue with a hair highlight. Sue me.

(his palette is overall dark or red tones, then BAM bright blue akin to Jinx. )

You want a gothic horror style hero? play yorick or karth. remember thresh's logic screen music? that's was some creepy shite. There's room for every sort of hero design. I mean, he's wielding a scythe damnit, that's as edgy as it gets, you cant just miss the opportunity of making a devil may cry like champion.
