Synopsis
It all began with the 17 "Origins," whose powers were passed down to individuals who still exist around the world today. A man carrying a coffin and a girl with beastly eyes appear in a city. The girl has been cursed by a witch and now seeks her out to undo the curse. Is the witch who appears before them the prey they are looking for? And how can the curse be broken? This quest for revenge against an evil witch begins when the beast captures the witch. This magnificent and intense dark fantasy tale begins now!
As previously announced, Takayuki Hamana (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen) is directing the anime at Yokohama Animation Lab. Hiroya Iijima (Afro Samurai) is designing the characters.
The anime will premiere on TBS and BS11 in January 2024.
