The Vermilion Mask anime gets first trailer, October 2026 premiere set
The Vermilion Mask anime adaptation gets its first trailer and an October 2026 premiere.
The first trailer for The Vermilion Mask anime adaptation has dropped, and it's giving action fans something to mark their calendars for. The series will premiere in October 2026 on Crunchyroll, bringing Dr. Poro's manga to the screen after years of serialization in Young King Ours magazine since February 2021.
Director Tetsuaki Watanabe is helming the project at 100studio, with Daisuke Ouhigashi handling the script and Hisashi Higashijima designing the characters. The voice cast includes Taihi Kimura and Yuuki Yamamoto in leading roles, anchoring what looks to be an ambitious adaptation.
The trailer reveal signals that production is well underway for the October 2026 window, giving the studio nearly two years to polish what's shaping up to be a significant title for Crunchyroll's slate. For readers who've followed Dr. Poro's manga over the past five years, this marks the moment the story transitions from page to screen—and based on the creative team assembled, the adaptation appears to be in capable hands.
