The visual brutality of this new installment remains in the capable hands of MAPPA studio.

About the Original Work

This acclaimed and surreal dark fantasy originated from the mind of mangaka Q Hayashida. Having gained a cult following in print format, the manga was adapted into an animated series, which premiered its first season of 12 episodes in Japan in January 2020, later distributed worldwide on Netflix in May of the same year.
